One of the top props in 2017, Russell Packer enjoyed a superb individual season with the Dragons that culminated in his return to the international stage with New Zealand at the Rugby League World Cup.
An experienced prop who will bring plenty to Wests Tigers on and off the field, Packer will form an exciting front row partnership in 2018 with former teammates Ben Matulino and Elijah Taylor, whom he played with under Ivan Cleary at the Warriors.
Packer is signed through at Wests Tigers until at least the end of the 2021 season.
