Elsewhere, Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens yesterday confirmed the signing of Australian Schoolboys rugby union player Jarod Saffy.
It was revealed in yesterday's Herald the club had snared NSW player Tim McGann.
"It's just a case of thinking outside the circle a bit," said Sheens. "Signing a name rugby league player can be an expensive prospect."
The club is also due to announce the signing of former Newcastle and Warriors forward Matt Jobson to a one-year contract.
