Big welcome to Rua Ngatikaura, Christian Ma’anaima, Israel Ogden and Jack Boyling. Ngatikaura (Hooker) and Ma’anaima (Prop) both featured in the Wests Tigers top 30 NRL squad in 2023 and bring with them top tier experience. Ngatikaura is also a Cook Islands International. Fullback Israel Ogden and second rower Jack Boyling join their Wests teammates in the red & black for the new season. Ogden was placed in the top 5 for kick return metres in the KOE NSW Cup comp in 2023 and ran for a whopping 2750 mtrs.
