St George Illawarra star Josh Dugan is reportedly unhappy with a Dragons pay offer and is set to shop around for another NRL club or even switch to rugby union in France.

According to the Nine Network, Dugan - off contract at the end of the 2017 season - is disillusioned and disappointed with the Dragons' offer of around $100,000 less per year.

The club have reportedly told the Australian and NSW State of Origin representative to find out his worth on the open market.

On Friday night, Nine said Dugan had instructed his manager to find out what he would be worth in French rugby.

It is not known if the reduced Dragons offer to Dugan is linked with the multi-million dollar acquisition of Brisbane and Queensland halfback Ben Hunt from next year.
