Former Māori representative Patrick Herbert has been rewarded for his impressive preseason performance with a two-year NRL contract from the Wests Tigers. After a successful trial period, Herbert's hard work and leadership have earned him a place on the team, despite spending two years in the Illawarra competition. With his previous experience and strong character, Herbert will add valuable depth to the Tigers' outside back position. Head coach Benji Marshall expressed his satisfaction with Herbert's preseason efforts and his excitement to have him back in the NRL system. Herbert himself is grateful for the opportunity and eager to contribute to the team's success, having gained a deeper appreciation for the sport during his time away from the top-grade competition.
