Utility forward Theo Lalakai joined prop/second rower Solomona Sio and outside back Marlon Purcell in the club’s ranks
Sio and Purcell both played in the recent trial against Shortland.
Lalakai was going to have his first run for the club in the pre-season round at Tuncurry, however, matches have been cancelled because of the on-going wet weather.
The Tigers make the trip to Port Macquarie to meet premiers Port City in the opening round of the season on Saturday April 8.
Coach Jamie Moorehead admits that’s a tough start to the season.
“But I’m looking forward to it – it gets the game out of the way early and will be a guide as to how we’re standing,’’ Moorehead said.
The Tigers have been busy in the pre-season, taking a squad to the Coffs Harbour Nines while they also had a trial against Shortland and Wingham earlier in the month.
