In a move that raised eyebrows and stirred up some controversy, Wests Tigers' rising star, Solomona Faataape, is making moves to secure his spot on the Top 30 roster.
After cutting his teeth with the Brisbane Tigers in the QLD Cup for three seasons, Faataape was one of the initial signings made by the Tigers' new administration, following the departure of Justin Pascoe and Lee Hagipantelis.
Despite initial doubts surrounding his signing, Faataape has proven himself to be a valuable asset in the Tigers' back-line, consistently delivering solid performances.
Signed initially on a development contract, the 23-year-old has surpassed all expectations and is now determined to take the next step in his rugby league journey with the Tigers.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Faataape has expressed his desire to continue wearing the Tigers jersey under the guidance of Benji Marshall, aiming to secure a coveted spot on the Top 30 roster.
As he reflects on his journey so far, Faataape remains focused on proving himself and earning his place in the squad.
