The lure of trying to win a premiership will be the driving factor when St George Illawarra representative star Tyson Frizell makes a call on his playing future beyond this season.

As revealed by Fox Sports on Thursday, the Newcastle Knights have tabled a three-year offer to Frizell for 2021 and beyond and the Kangaroos and Blues backrower is weighing up a major career decision.

The Dragons certainly won’t be letting Frizell leave the Red V without a fight and have also tabled a three-year deal.

Frizell addressed the issue after the Dragons looked sharp upstaging arch rivals the Sharks in Perth’s NRL Nines.

“People know that I’m looking to win a premiership hopefully and play finals footy, that’s what we do it for,” Frizell said.

“You can go and chase the money, that’s a nice part of it but if that’s what driving us we’re not going to be successful at all.

“A lot of things are taken in. I haven’t made my decision.

“Once I’ve got all the cards on the table then I’ll know what I’m doing.

“Hopefully it’s here at the Dragons but these things happen and it might not be.

“That’s just a part of footy. But for me I love the club and hopefully I can see myself here long-term.

“But if that’s not the case, then that happens.”

Frizell is yet to formally meet new Knights coach Adam O’Brien but is expected to sit down to hear the Novocastrian club’s pitch soon.

With Blues teammates David Klemmer, Mitch Pearce and Daniel Saifiti all at the Knights, it’s guaranteed to be a strong sell.

The Dragons enforcer hopes to have it all resolved as quickly as possible.

“Like I’ve said in the past I’m hoping to do it sooner rather than later and put it to bed,” Frizell said.

One of the NRL’s genuine good blokes, Frizell’s next career move will not be motivated by money.

“We put our body on the line and work so hard. I’ll let my footy do the talking,” he said.

“I’m not too worried about money talk.

“I would have liked to have done it when there was no footy being played but these things happen and it’s all good.”
