The Wests Tigers have reportedly moved to retain Sione Fainu, who is off-contract at the end of 2026. Originally out of the Manly Sea Eagles system, Sione, alongside brothers Samuela and Latu, is now at the Tigers. It was enough, reportedly, for the Tigers to put an offer on the table for Sione, with it believed to be for three-years, and valued at around $1.2 million - or $400,000 per season. If Fainu accepts the reported offer, it would lock him down at the Concord-based joint-venture until at least the end of 2029. It's unclear when Sione will make a decision by, but if he recommits, it could make the Tigers' job of retaining his two brothers - both off-contract at the end of 2027 - easier.
