Wests Tigers could claim union giant

A former Queensland Reds rugby union forward is set to make the jump across to league with the Wests Tigers. Waita Setu, younger brother of former Dragon Lagi Setu, was born in New Zealand and moved to Australia to play in the Storm and Broncos junior systems. The 27-year-old loose forward then switched to union, where he played several games for the Reds in Super Rugby before moving to England. He played last season for Brisbane City in Australia's National Rugby Championship and is currently trialing for a contract with the Tigers. Having lost Ryan Matterson and Ben Matulino and with Russell Packer on the outer, the Tigers have vacancies in the pack and Setu, a 110kg giant, could prove a handy addition.
