From the Telegraph, so believe it or not:

Jayden Sullivan signs 4 year deal with Wests Tigers

dailytelegraph.com.au

NRL Market Watch: Jayden Sullivan signs with Wests Tigers on $2.2m four-year deal.

He had no shortage of suitors, and now unwanted Dragons star Jayden Sullivan has found a new home for 2023, after being given permission to look elsewhere.

Released two weeks ago by incoming Dragons coach Shane Flanagan, Sullivan settled on the Tigers after talks with coach Benji Marshall and recruitment boss Scott Fulton on Saturday.

He needs to pass a medical examination before the contract is registered with the NRL.

Despite picking up Sullivan, the Tigers are still going ahead with the signing of veteran halfback Aidan Sezer from the UK Super League.

The 22-year-old Sullivan, who had another two years remaining on his deal with St George Illawarra, is seen as the long-term halfback option following Luke Brooks’ decision to join Manly.

After weeks of speculation over the relationship between Marshall and Fulton, the pair have finally come together over the unwanted Dragon.

Sullivan, who is understood to have also met with Newcastle officials this week, will officially link up with the Tigers in October. His four-year deal is aligned with the club’s other recent long-term signings in brothers Latu and Samuela Fainu. His exit is also likely to pave the way for fellow Dragons youngster Talatau Amone, who enters the final year of his contract next season, to partner Ben Hunt in the halves next year.

Can’t say I am happy about this signing , but I will wait and see before I bag him , hope I am wrong
 
Why are they calling him a star when he has played what 4 NRL games? The same thing was said about Brooks.
 
He's played 27 games. He's had his career disrupted by injuries and having Anthony Griffin as a head coach. He is very good. We have gotten younger, better and cheaper so far in the halves. People will hang shit on everything we do until the results change but for what it is, we have done very well so far.
 
Sullivan was the crown jewel of the next generation of superstar kids the Dragons were bringing through that won SG Ball a cpl years ago.

Then they signed Hook and Hunt and his path got blocked to first grade. Injuries meant Amone leapt ahead of him and Hook tried to cross train him into becoming a hooker/bench utility. He's an out and out 7. If he can stay healthy he's going to make us forget about Luke Brooks very quickly.
