Former journeyman in the NRL joins a new team.

Former NRL journeyman Tautau Moga has secured a new team for the 2024 season after concluding his stint with the St George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL.

Having played in the NRL first grade last season, Moga has joined the Western Suburbs Devils, participating in the Mojo Holmes Illawarra Cup for the upcoming 2024 season.

Moga’s inclusion in the Devils’ lineup follows the announcement on their social media platforms that former NRL hooker James Segeyaro has opted out of playing with the club this season.

Reports indicate that Moga was a subject of interest for several Super League clubs as recently as October last year, before ultimately deciding to join the Devils.

Originally an Australian Schoolboy representative in 2010 and an Under 20 Queensland player in 2012, Moga was poised to become the youngest debutant for the Sydney Roosters in 73 years in 2011. However, a new NRL rule prohibiting players under the age of 18 from participating in first-grade level matches prevented this milestone.

Over his 12 seasons in the NRL, Moga has played for the Sydney Roosters, Cowboys, Brisbane Broncos, Knights, Rabbitohs, and most recently, the St George Illawarra Dragons in the past two seasons. The 29-year-old winger contributed 13 tries in 13 appearances for the Dragons in the last two years, augmenting his overall career record to 36 tries in 87 NRL games. Additionally, Moga has represented Samoa on three occasions.
