Wests Tigers recruit Jamal Idris says he’s never been happier  to be involved in rugby league.

After 18 months away from the game, Idris signed a one year contract with the Tigers free of the pressure he’d previously felt to perform.

Idris has played for New South Wales and Australia but says, after coming to terms with who he was as a person away from the NRL. he now feels capable of fulfilling his promise as one of the games genuine stars.
