St George Illawarra players Jake Marketo, Nick Emmett and David Gower will not be re-signing with the club for next season.
The Dragons trio has been encouraged to explore their future playing options elsewhere as the club moves forward with a new roster.
Meanwhile, former Melbourne Storm second-rower Atelea Vea has had his contracted extended for another year.
Tyson Frizell (Sharks), Josh Drinkwater (Manly) and Gerard Beale (Broncos) are the only other recruits confirmed for the 2013 season.
