Leilua brothers link up after Joey inks three-year deal with Wests Tigers
Wests Tigers have snared a strike outside back ahead of 2020 with Canberra centre Joey Leilua reportedly signing a three-year deal with the club.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the 28-year-old will link up with his brother Luciano who also joined the Tigers in the pre-season from St George Illawarra.
Leilua faced an uncertain future in the nation’s capital after the Curtis Scott signed with the Raiders from Melbourne before Christmas.
The Samoa international met with Tigers coach Michael Maguire earlier this week with his manager Paul Sutton having been in talks with the club.
According to reports, the Raiders will chip in for Leilua to play at the Tigers this season given he had one year remaining on his deal with the Green Machine.

It seems to me that Peter Mullholland knows how to off-load a player when he needs to make way for younger exciting talent and Mage is a coach who backs himself to sign a particular player he needs. Contrast that to our two fools who believe G Jennings is the answer to our outside back problem.
Now I could support the signing of Jennings if this action was coupled with the move of Aitken / Lafai from our squad. That would make sense to me.
