Another big-name Canberra Raider could sign with St George Illawarra within weeks, the Dragons investigating the possibility of signing prop Tom Learoyd-Lahrs before the June 30 mid-season transfer deadline.

Having struggled with injuries and for match time under new coach Ricky Stuart, it is understood Learoyd-Lahrs is resigned to not being at Canberra next season, and has begun the hunt for a new home.

He has attracted interest from a few clubs but the struggling Dragons are particularly interested. They are desperate to bolster their under-seige forward pack immediately as a season which began so promisingly plunges into freefall.

Learoyd-Lahrs has a young family and would prefer to stay in Canberra, but the 28-year-old sees the writing on the wall after being overtaken in the Raiders pecking order by young props Shannon Boyd and Kyle O'Donnell.
