The Wests Tigers have bid farewell to two players as new coach Benji Marshall’s 2024 roster begins to take shape.

The Tigers elected not to sign rugby union convert Triston Reilly and developmental player Brandon Webster-Mansfield.

Reilly played junior football in the Knights and Rabbitohs system before making the switch to rugby union.

Reilly represented the Australian sevens team in 2018 and played for the NSW Waratahs before returning to league in 2022 when signing with the Tigers.

He played three games for the Tigers in 2023, scoring one try.

“The club would also like to wish Triston Reilly and Brandon Webster-Mansfield the very best of luck with their future playing careers,” a club-issued statement read.

“Both players have been released from the final year of their contract with Wests Tigers.”

SOUTHS TURN BACK THE CLOCK WITH JERSEY CHANGE

The Rabbitohs have unveiled their playing strip for 2024.

Souths will wear the famous and historic red and green hoops jersey for the first time since 2006. It was the playing strip worn by the club in their inaugural season way back in 1908.

Rabbitohs star Campbell Graham says it’s “very special to be going back to that tradition this season”.

“Those colours and that jersey which has the full hoops going all the way around the body have been part of this club since 1908,” said Graham.

“The wonderful traditions and history of the Rabbitohs are what makes you really proud to play for this club.

“So many great players have gone before us in that jersey, players like Clive Churchill and John Sattler, Mario Fenech and Les Davidson.

“We really respect our history here at Souths and this jersey shows that.”

Meanwhile, Souths recruit Jack Wighton has settles in nicely to his new club.
