NRL strugglers Wests Tigers have secured a recruitment success, signing rising rugby league stars Samuela and Latu Fainu.

The brothers, who performed well for NSW in their Under 19s State of Origin victory last week, have signed four-year deals with the NRL club to the end of 2027.

Nineteen-year-old forward, Samuela, has played five games for Manly this season including his NRL debut against Wests Tigers in Round 8.

Latu is an 18-year-old half who is yet to make his NRL debut. 

The pair will link up with older brother Sione, who joined Wests Tigers last season.
