In a brilliant move, the Wests Tigers have locked in a rising star in the world of rugby, securing the talents of Heamasi Makasini on a Top 30 contract that will keep him in the den until 2027.
The young centre, a standout in both league and union circles and a force to be reckoned with in the Harold Matthews Cup, is set to make his mark on the NRL stage starting in 2026.
Coach Benji Marshall couldn't contain his enthusiasm, declaring, "We've got a gem in Heamasi, a true blue talent who's worked hard to earn his spot in the squad.
He's a real game-changer and we're pumped to have him with us for the long haul."
With rivals from across the NRL and Rugby Australia hot on his trail, Makasini's decision to don the black and orange of the Tigers is a clear sign of his commitment to making waves in the rough and tumble world of professional rugby.
The future is bright for this young gun, and the Tigers faithful can rest easy knowing that they've got a true champion in their midst.
