Wests Tigers land Luciano Leilua
Wests Tigers have signed back-rower Luciano Leilua from St George Illawarra Dragons on a three-year contract.

Tigers coach Michael Maguire said: “I’m very pleased we’ve been able to secure a player with Luciano’s talent and potential for the future.
“He offers another dimension to our forward pack and gives us an added edge with his ball playing and creativity.
“With more experience and time, I can see Luciano developing into a really strong player for this club and we’re all excited to see him take those next steps in his career here.”
