One day after helping Australia Under-18s to their first win over New Zealand in five years, Heamasi Makasini has pledged his future to the NRL.
One day after starring on the wing for the Australian Under-18s in their first win over New Zealand Schools since 2019, Heamasi Makasini has signed a three-year deal to remain at the Wests Tigers in a blow for Rugby Australia’s future plans.
“He is one of the best young talents that we have who has progressed his way through our development programs,” Marshall said. Speaking to this masthead just before the news of Makasini’s contract with the Tigers broke, Australian Under-18s coach Shannon Fraser spoke of the challenge RA faces in keeping its talented squads together into senior rugby.“It’s going to be player choice, and we can’t kid ourselves that these kids don’t have other options,” Fraser said.
