This weekend, a Saturday morning sweat session at the infamous Wanda Sand Dunes awaits Wests Tigers’ Pathways players.
Around 320 junior representative players will head to Cronulla for the event, in a valuable opportunity to bring squads and staff from across the club’s Pathways regions together prior to season kickoff.
Western Suburbs Magpies, Balmain Tigers, Macarthur Wests Tigers, and Wests Tigers' junior female programs will all be present at the dunes.
The session will mark the conclusion of the first block of Pathways pre-season training.
Wests Tigers Pathways & Recruitment Manager, Shannon Gallant, discussed the benefits of holding events such as Saturday’s slog.
“It’s just great to bring so many Pathways players together, as well as staff,” Gallant said.
“The session will be extremely valuable, anyone in rugby league knows how brutal the Wanda dunes can be, but it’s also an opportunity for players and staff from all our Pathways regions to connect.
While everyone might be at different stages of their playing and coaching careers, we’re all from Wests Tigers.

“Any time we can bring everyone together always makes for a great team-building exercise.”
The first round for most junior representative teams will kick off on the weekend of the 1st of February, with Macarthur Wests Tigers teams to commence their season the following weekend.
