ELARA JOINS TIGERS

Toowoomba talent closes in on NRL dream

RUGBY LEAGUE: He’s the humble young man that is ready to chase his first grade dream.

Highfields junior and former St Mary’s College student Sam Elara (pictured) has put pen to paper with the Wests Tigers.

It’s a reward for a breakout season with the Redcliffe Dolphins that saw Elara make his Intrust Super Cup debut.

Now the son of former PNG Kumuls representative Matthew, Elara gets the chance to make a name for himself in his own right.
