Peter Taateo joins Newtown Jets after leaving Wests Tigers, aiming to continue his rugby career.
Departed Wests Tigers front-rower Peter Taateo has agreed to join a new club that will allow him to continue his rugby league playing career heading into next season.
Previously a member of the Canberra Raiders roster, Taateo made the switch to the Wests Tigers midway through the 2025 season and impressed club officials but never made it to first-grade - he played 11 NSW Cup matches.
A former Under-16s NSW Blues representative, the young prop also spent time in the Parramatta Eels and Penrith Panthers system and is a name to watch in the coming seasons with the inclusion of the Perth Bears and PNG Chiefs.
The move to the Newtown Jets will see him join ex-NRL centre Morgan Harper as one of the club's new signings.
