“I’ve really enjoyed growing with the young boys we’ve got here and the way we’re building together.”
Mikaele says he has grown as a player and a person in the last few years and wants to continue building at the Tigers.

“He has worked really hard recently to take his game to a new level and we’re very excited to see him continue to take those next steps in his game in a Wests Tigers jersey.”
