Jade Fonua, a new recruit for the Wests Tigers, is expected to make a significant impact in the NRLW as she joins the team ahead of the 2025 season.
Though she took up rugby league later than most players, the 28-year-old Tongan international brings valuable experience to the squad.
With nine NRLW matches under her belt and a background in international Test rugby for Tonga, Jade is poised to strengthen the Wests Tigers forward pack.
Despite her relatively recent entry into the sport, her contributions and skills may give the impression that she has been playing rugby league for her entire life.
