Wests Tigers is delighted to announce the signing of former Wallaroo, Pauline Piliae-Rasabale, ahead of the club’s inaugural season in the NRLW.
The addition of Piliae-Rasabale takes Wests Tigers 2023 NRLW squad list to 20 players, leaving just four more spots to be filled.
The Samoan-born five-eighth joined Wests Tigers Harvey Norman Women’s team in Round three this season, crossing for three tries in eight games.
Piliae-Rasabale made headlines in 2022 when named player of the match in her very first international appearance for Australia against Fijiana in Brisbane.
Later that year she lined up for Australia at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
The 30-year-old mother of two says she’s excited to be a part of the club’s inaugural season.
“There will only ever be one first season and I’m really looking forward to doing my bit for the team,” she said.
“I’ve loved my short time at Wests Tigers, and we have such a terrific group of girls.
Everything about the club is so professional but at the same time, we have a load of fun as well.
