I have a work colleague who is close to the Luai family; apparently the Tigpies are offering Bizza substantially more than what he’s on with us - (f*ck knows how they’re squeezing it under the cap?) - for him to seek an early release and the desire for him to play alongside Luai is strong as they are practically Brothers.

But then it all comes down to Bizza and Penrith management. If he values premiership rings more than a bit more coin to play alongside Luai, he’ll stay as I can’t see the Tigers in the top 8 for at least the next three seasons. Moreover, considering Bizza is contracted with us until the end of 2027, I doubt the club will be inclined to let him go just like that.
I'm sure they'll survive living an hour apart. Stop spending this shit

Considering that is literally anti-tampering if they have offered anything, I'd suggest it's not true tbh.

Isn't it funny how some folks go. My work mates brother's sister's father 2nd cousin..........All for a story.

If true Penrith would be all over the NRL like a cheap suit, because of the anti tampering laws.

Nah....no way...when has that ever happened ?! LOL
I seem to recall the Tigers trying to do that to a young Penrith halfback. They didn’t get done for tampering, but they opened Pandora’s box and they lost their coach. Suggesting that family was important didn’t turn out too well for them, and they had to sack another coach…

Hopefully they have learnt their lesson. I can just see the Tigers approaching To’o through his Luai connection, talking about how much it means to play with your mates, and suggesting that contracts are fungible, and Luai saying ‘you’re right, I want to stay a Panther.’

When was the last time we let a player go to another club midway through his current contract , won’t happen and I doubt he’s that kind of guy to put himself through it

To'o is the best winger in the comp if leaving was even so much as a passing shower thought the media would be going nuts over it.

Reports that Tanah Boyd might be on the move after 2024. If we didn’t have the depth that we seem to have in the halves, he wouldn’t look out of place. Plus, there is Penrith lineage running in his veins
