Jesse Sene-Lefao

Samoan is aiming to ensure Tigers compete

Granted, the West Yorkshire club has been in existence since 1926 so their pursuit has gone on far longer than the new Australian champions.

But Sene-Lefao, the Samoa forward who left Cronulla for Castleford during the winter, hopes to replicate the feat in Super League.

He played seven games for Cronulla last term, missing out on the historic NRL Grand Final victory over Melbourne Storm, but learning plenty along the way alongside quality players such as New South Wales State of Origin hooker Michael Ennis and formidable Australia forward Paul Gallen.
