Some of Wests Tigers’ best and brightest junior representative stars were recognised at Sunday’s Awards event at St Gregory's College, Campbelltown.
Hosted by Wests Tigers Life Member Pat Richards and NRLW player Claudia Nielsen, players from across Wests Tigers’ Pathways regions were presented with awards celebrating their performances and commitment throughout the 2025 junior representative season.
The evening acknowledged rising talent from Wests Tigers, Macarthur Wests Tigers, Western Suburbs Magpies and Balmain Tigers junior rep teams from both the male and female pathways systems.
The Macarthur Wests Tigers Laurie Daley Cup reached the Grand Final in 2025, while a number of our other pathways teams played finals football.
Congratulations to all the award winners, as well as team staff for their efforts throughout the 2025 junior representative season.
