Breaking: The Penrith Panthers star signed a contract for AU$6 million (£3.17 million) after leaving the team because of…..
When Jarome Luai joins the Wests Tigers at the end of 2024, he will be leaving the NRL champions for the current wooden-spoonists, PENRITH and Samoa star.
The 26-year-old stand-off has agreed to a five-year contract with Wests, who have only won four games annually and finished last in the last two seasons.
Luai, on the other hand, has led the Panthers to three straight NRL titles and was a vital member of the Samoan squad that advanced to the 2022 World Cup final
He is said to have inked a contract of AU$6 million (£3.17 million) spread over five years, making him one of the most paid rugby league players in the world.
Although Luai has been Nathan Cleary’s backup playmaker for the Penrith spine, he maintains that obtaining the team’s keys was the real driving force, unlike what many would have you believe.
Another important component of it was being my own person and telling my own narrative. I’m eager.
The rumored seven-figure contract that Luai signed is a huge win for the Tigers, who haven’t made it to the postseason since 2011
After recently restructuring their whole administration, they are rebuilding under temporary chief executive Shane Richardson, who formerly held the same position at Hull FC.
John Bateman, an England international, plays for Wests. Before the end of the previous season, Wests fired head coach Tim Sheens and appointed playing hero Benji Marshall in his place.
“His experience as a genuine Premiership-winning playmaker will be great for us and the future of our club,” Marshall stated about Luai.
Penrith expressed their dissatisfaction but upheld Luai’s decision to depart
Their chief executive, Matt Cameron, stated, “We understand that the position is made worse by salary-cap capacity as a result of the club’s recent success.
“We are excited that Jarome will be sticking with the Panthers in 2024 as we get ready for another Premiership defense in addition to the World Club Challenge against Wigan
