Mason Phillips, a pivotal figure in the Bulldogs’ Harold Matthews Cup lineup, has emerged as one of the club’s most talented hookers. Earlier this year, he wore the No.9 jersey in their semi-final defeat against the Warriors.

Hailing originally from Queensland, Phillips has demonstrated the potential to excel at the highest levels of the sport, particularly showcasing his adeptness around the ruck.

Following successful seasons with the Bulldogs in the Under-17s competition, Phillips is poised to join the St George Illawarra Dragons, departing from Belmore, according to reports from The Daily Telegraph.

The decision to secure Phillips’ services aligns with the Dragons’ strategy, notably after securing Damien Cook from the South Sydney Rabbitohs for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. This move also positions them well for the future, preparing for Cook’s eventual retirement from the NRL in the years ahead.
