Newcastle Knights centre Bradman Best has sparked rumors of Jarome Luai potentially joining the Wests Tigers with a cryptic response to a post from the Panthers premiership winner.
Luai, whose signature is highly coveted, is reportedly considering reuniting with former premiership-winning teammate Api Koroisau at the Tigers.
The speculation comes as Luai, who is currently under contract with the Panthers until 2024, is set to become a free agent in 2025.
The Panthers have already offered Luai $850,000, but he is expected to attract offers as high as $1.1 million if he decides to leave the team.
The Knights' center's emojis in response to Luai's post have set the rumor mill into a frenzy, leaving fans and analysts speculating about the potential move.
As one of the biggest names on the market, Luai's decision will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the NRL landscape.
