ST George-Illawarra have made captain Trent Barrett a new four-year offer that would keep him at the club until the end of the 2008 season.

Barrett is contracted to the Dragons until the end of next season.

"We are optimistic we might have something finalised before Christmas," Dragons chief executive Peter Doust said. "He is contracted to us next season and we have offered a new four-year deal on top of that."

Doust met Barrett's manager Wayne Beavis on Monday in a bid to get negotiations moving along. "Trent has a lot of things to consider and I will be meeting with him early next week to go over things," Beavis said.
