Wuatai-Davis, a front-rower from Mackay, has been playing rugby league since the age of seven; he moved to Mackay from Townsville when he was ten years old.

Scott Thorburn, his previous coach at the Mackay Magpies, also remarked about him joining with the Wests Tigers.

“His attitude to training and the way he presents himself at training is really important, he’s always well prepared.”
