Pulling on a Wests Tigers jersey for the first time was a unique experience for Ken Maumalo, but it just felt right — according to the representative winger himself.

Following an emotional farewell with the Warriors, Maumalo linked up with his new team on Tuesday morning and is excited to make his club debut on Saturday night against the Melbourne Storm.

The powerful winger has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal that will see him feature in Wests Tigers colours until at least the end of the 2023 NRL season.

Since making his first-grade debut in 2015, Maumalo played 106 NRL games for the Warriors as well as 13 international matches.

“It feels different to put this jersey on, but I’m just grateful to be here,” Maumalo said in his first interview since joining Wests Tigers.

“I’ve just arrived and I think I look good in these colours and I’m excited for the change.”

It was an emotional farewell for Maumalo when he lined up for his final game for the Warriors on Sunday afternoon.

The representative winger scored a hat-trick to farewell his debut club — making it six tries against Melbourne in 2021.

Funnily enough, Maumalo could face to the Storm again this weekend if named to make his Wests Tigers debut.

“It was a different experience. I didn’t think I was going to get the chance to play [for the Warriors against Melbourne],” he said.

“I shed a few tears after the match in that last moment. I’m not a man that would shed tears in front of the cameras, but everything bottled up at once and it just came out.”

Having played under coach Michael Maguire at the representative level, Maumalo is excited to reunite with the New Zealand mentor.

“I’ve had my experiences with Madge for the Kiwis,” the winger said.

“He’s played a huge part in me playing for the Kiwis and he’s really looked after me.

“When the opportunity came up to join Wests Tigers, I was all for it.”

Maumalo is looking forward to playing his part in the rich history of Wests Tigers and is confident the club is heading in the right direction.

After meeting his new teammates, he can’t wait to make his club debut.



I’m looking forward to Ken and Brooksy developing a great combo.

He’d be good with doueihi at 6


Interested to know why you think that. Doueihi plays right and Ken is playing left wing.

Is it because they are both tall?

Just picturing AD cut out pass to the wing that worked a few times. Do our halves ever swap sides ??

Honestly don’t think he’s fit enough to rove as a 5/8 - neither should he be.

He’s a big boys and I think centre’s his spot

Funny thing is I don’t think centre is his spot either one of those players that can’t crack a spot?

Forwards maybe?

Interesting stat I just heard on SEN Maumalo has scored 2 hat tricks playing against the Storm this ear that's 24 points in two games apparently no team this season has scored more than 18 points in a game against the Storm.

WHAT!!! No mention of Sheens?

 

[TigerWest]



WHAT!!! No mention of Sheens?

He probably doesn't know who he is?:joy:

 

[turkeytiger03]

To me it’s a meh signing … it’s like Madge is missing his international coaching and wants to bring in as many as he can.

Yeah singing international players sucks

We must remember what and where these international signings are coming from.

 

[TheDaBoss]

Showed some good signs...bad error early on...denied stupidly a good try

Any chance of a refund?

What is it with Wests Tigers and signing SLOW wingers

 

[Camel2281]

What is it with Wests Tigers and signing SLOW wingers

More concerning is the apparent lack of effort

 

[compensate]

Get out of my club

Whats the go here?

Brooks throws a cut out in front of him and he stands there and watches it go out? Paugau tries to offload one back in and he doesnt even try to catch it? Not to mention watching him try to run back after that Staggs break, I thought Luke Covell was back.

 

[tig_prmz]

Any chance of a refund?

Even if there was, the front office would have lost the receipt.
