He also carries valuable NBL experience, having played with the Cairns Taipans in 2019 and 2021, further strengthening his credentials as an elite, experienced forward capable of impacting the game.
George has expressed his enthusiasm on joining the Tigers: “I’m really excited to be joining the team.
