The Wests Tigers, under head coach Benji Marshall, have finalized their 30-man roster for the 2025 NRL season, introducing several key signings to strengthen the team. Notable additions include Jarome Luai from the Penrith Panthers, Sunia Turuva also from the Panthers, Royce Hunt from the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Jack Bird from the St George Illawarra Dragons, and Jeral Skelton from the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
The finalized roster is as follows:
- Fullbacks: Jahream Bula, Jack Bird
- Wingers: Sunia Turuva, Brent Naden, Jeral Skelton
- Centers: Justin Olam, Adam Doueihi, Josh Feledy
- Five-Eighths: Lachlan Galvin
- Halfbacks: Jarome Luai, Latu Fainu
- Props: Royce Hunt, David Klemmer, Terrell May, Fonua Pole
- Hookers: Apisai Koroisau (c), Tallyn Da Silva
- Second-Rows: Samuela Fainu, Alex Seyfarth, Jack Bird
- Locks: Jack Bird
This lineup reflects a strategic blend of experienced players and promising newcomers, aiming to elevate the Tigers’ performance in the upcoming season.
In recent pre-season trials, the Tigers have showcased their potential. Lachlan Galvin, in particular, delivered a standout performance in a narrow 20-14 defeat against the Bulldogs, demonstrating leadership and skill in the absence of halfback Jarome Luai.
The team’s leadership is further bolstered by co-captains Jarome Luai and Sunia Turuva, who bring valuable experience and a winning mentality to the squad. Their leadership is expected to significantly uplift the team’s morale and cohesion ahead of the new season.
With these strategic additions and a renewed focus on discipline and performance, the Wests Tigers are poised to make a strong impact in the 2025 NRL season
