Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:
- Heamasi Makasini has extended his contract with the Wests Tigers through to the end of the 2029 NRL season. The extension adds two more years to his previous deal, which already ran through 2027.[3][5]
- The Tigers’ announcement emphasized Makasini as a key part of their future and noted the club’s desire to keep him in Concord long term, with positive quotes from both Makasini and head coach Benji Marshall.[5]
- Coverage from multiple outlets around late May 2026 confirms the deal and highlights Makasini’s status as one of the Tigers’ brightest teenage prospects, reinforcing the club’s strategy of securing homegrown talent.[1][7][3]
If you’d like, I can pull concrete dates, contract details (such as cap implications if disclosed), or collect quotes from the club’s official announcement and major outlets into a concise summary. I can also provide a quick comparison of Makasini’s extension with other NRL teen signings from 2026 for context. Please tell me which format you prefer.
