However, Ciraldo made it clear that he won't engage in any underhanded tactics to lure players away from Penrith.
He stated, "We won't be poaching anyone.
If they don't express a desire to leave, then we won't be pursuing them." This statement reflects Ciraldo's respect for the Panthers and maintains a level of integrity in his approach to recruitment.
The speculation surrounding Luai's future has been fueled by his impressive performances and the potential for a lucrative contract elsewhere.
While the Wests Tigers have been named as potential suitors, the Bulldogs have entered the conversation due to the presence of Crichton and Kikau, creating an enticing proposition for Luai.
Nevertheless, Ciraldo's denial of an offer sets the record straight, indicating that there have been no formal discussions with Luai at this stage.
Speaking on SEN, Ciraldo emphasized that the Bulldogs would be open to exploring opportunities with Luai if and when he decides to leave Penrith.
This statement suggests that the Bulldogs are keeping their options open and would be keen to secure a player of Luai's caliber if the circumstances arise.
