Parramatta coach Jason Ryles has shared insights regarding the speculation surrounding the Eels as the leading candidate to secure the services of superstar Jarome Luai in light of his recent announcement.
Reports indicate that the Wests Tigers have granted Luai the opportunity to leave the club as early as this season concludes, permitting the five-eighth to explore other options despite having a year remaining on his current deal.
This development follows Luai's high-profile signing, as he has become the prominent figure for the PNG Chiefs, who are set to join the NRL in the 2028 season.
Additionally, the Perth Bears may emerge as a viable option, especially considering their urgent need for a standout player.
