Sione Fainu enters the 2026 season as a powerful and developing middle forward within the Wests Tigers forward pack.
Joining the club from Manly-Warringah midway through 2022, Fainu made his NRL debut in 2024 and scored his first try just a few rounds later against the Raiders.
Known for his size, strength and aggression through the middle, Sione continues to build on his experience alongside younger brothers Samuela and Latu as part of the Tigers’ next generation of forwards.
