Tigers face uncertainty in halves stocks as deadline looms

The Wests Tigers face uncertainty in their halves stocks. Jock Madden, 26, is set to test the open market with no extension offered beyond 2027, despite the Tigers winning 50% of games he's played in this season — their best win rate among halves options. Latu Fainu is also yet to receive a contract offer, with the November 1 signing deadline approaching. Coach Benji Marshall has indicated Adam Doueihi (signed to 2029) and rookie Javon Andrews (2028) are the long-term halves pairing. Backrower Samuela Fainu is also unsigned beyond 2027.
