Wests Tigers Holden Cup back rower Brenden Santi has agreed to join Sydney rival, Parramatta Eels from 2014. Santi who represented NSW U'20's in 2013 and captained the Australian Schoolboys side in 2011 will join the club at the completion of the 2013. Santi is held in high regard at Wests Tigers, known for his exceptional work rate and has even represented the Wests Tigers NSW Cup team on several occasions this season.
The Tigers who have been battling well publicized salary cap issues are believed to have not been able to compete with the Eels who also offered Santi a top 25 contract with the club in 2014. He becomes the 6th player to leave Wests Tigers in 2013, following the high profile departures of Benji Marshall, Blake Ayshford, Eddie Pettybourne, Shaun Spence and Jacob Miller. Wests Tigers also hope to extend the contract of exciting young cubs Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses in the near future. The talented duo remain under contract for 2014 but the club is determined to extend their contracts beyond.
