'Building something': Adam Doueihi signs two-year extension with Wests Tigers
In a major boost ahead of their clash with the Cowboys on Saturday, the Wests Tigers have signed Adam Doueihi to an extension that will keep him at the club until 2029.
The 27-year-old was contracted until the end of 2027 but will add two more years.
Doueihi has battled his way back from three ACL reconstructions and has proven to be a valuable halves partner for Jarome Luai, allowing the premiership winner to play a freer brand of football.

"I'm really excited to be locked in with the Tigers for the next four seasons. It's a special place for me and my family. There's nowhere else I'd rather be," Doueihi said.
"We're building something special here amongst this group and I'm looking forward to ripping in this year and putting all our hard work into practice.
"I'm loving playing alongside Romey (Luai) in the halves and working with Benji (Marshall, the coach). We're in a great position as a group to continue growing and improving.

"I'm grateful to Benji and the club for the faith they've shown in me over the last few years, I'm looking forward to repaying that on the field."
Doueihi spent time across many positions last year, playing centre, five-eighth and lock.
He's been named to start at halfback against the Cowboys at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday afternoon.
"Really happy for the club that we get to extend Adam until the end of 2029," Wests Tigers coach Marshall said.

"It's a credit to Adam's character and work ethic to bounce back from injuries and put himself in a position to sign an extension with us.
"Not only do we value what Adam brings us on the field, his leadership and influence off it are just as important.
"We're so pleased to have Adam and his amazing family stay on with us."
