The Kiwi international played 13 games this year, but since a knee injury in Round 14 has not been seen in Tigers colours.
Such was the severity of the injury, there was talk the club might look to medically retire him.
It is understood that the club have now lodged paperwork with the NRL to do just that.
In doing so, the Tigers can free up significant cap space to the tune of $800,000, which would allow them to re-sign club favourites Benji Marshall and Chris Lawrence who are both off-contract.
