In a week filled with drama, Jarome Luai's future in the NRL is now being questioned.
According to a report by news.com.au, the simplest way for Luai to show loyalty to his current team, Penrith Panthers, would be to abandon them for a lucrative deal elsewhere.
The article suggests that playing for a team that is constantly finishing as an also-ran will eventually make Luai homesick and lead him to seek a release by round 15.
The report acknowledges that no one would blame Luai for chasing a big payday, just like any other free agent who takes advantage of the desperation of cashed-up struggling teams.
However, the question remains whether Luai's pursuit of financial gain will ultimately lead to his happiness.
The use of rugby league terminology, such as "wild Panther" and "big daddy payday," adds a sense of excitement and intensity to the article.
It paints Luai as a player who is hungry for success and willing to make tough decisions to secure his future.
The article leaves readers wondering what Luai's next move will be.
Will he prioritize loyalty to his current team or go after the most enormous deal on offer? Only time will tell.
But one thing is clear - Luai's week of drama has put his NRL future under the spotlight.
