It does Highlight the farce that is the player transfer market.

We have players in the NBA playing 2 days after being traded to another country yet NRL players can't do it in 6 months

Press conference called by Luai? Not the Tiges? Sounds weird.
Could it be a massive publicity stunt for his new business?

good on him - got his bag and sets his family up post football

just give 100% this year (which he will do) and leave on good terms like everyone else. part of a special group of players - one of many club legends

he's a panther in 2024 - hopefully the club doesn't need to state this to media etc when the early release articles start up again

Smart move by Jarome in holding his presser. Saying some very nice things about Penrith and that he loves the club.

Saying he loves Ivan and his Penrith team mates. Stopping some of the media carryon over the last few weeks.

In saying that, he knows the W/T deal will set his family up for life.

now that Luai is officially gone

Are any panthers fans now concerned Nathan might seek a release on compassionate grounds to follow Fowler to England ?

For all the complaining and carry on Luai has his deal announced two weeks in the new year earlier than Critta did last year.

Even if he gets four spoons his ring to spoon differential will be the same as Gower and Tony Puletua.

You’d have to think that is a massive possibility. The club would be extremely concerned.

considering the Tigers awful performance record of the past 10+ years - what does Romey need to achieve to prove his value with this contract? Should the tigers likely not make finals again in 2024.

if they make the 8 in 2025 - surely that's money well spent?

Api & Papali'i didn't improve the tigers finishing position in 2023 (and got decent paydays)

Will Benji still be there in 2025 ? More to the point.

Just watched the presser.. I think he is still a bit undecided, poor guy. Just hope the advice he got from his manager was the right one, but have a feeling the bottom line $$$ might have swayed the advice from him? Can't blame him, but also a shame as wonder if we knew about this if we could have kept Critta/Spencer? As part of the goss, would also love to know what other clubs were interested? Dragons? Gold Coast?
