As the speculation grows around Jarome Luai's potential move, Stephen Crichton has emphasized that their friendship will not influence Luai's decision.
Crichton, who himself faced similar circumstances last year, signed with Canterbury, understands the pressure Luai is under as he considers offers from other clubs.
Although it would be tempting for Crichton to recommend Belmore due to the familiar faces awaiting him, he believes that Luai must prioritize his own happiness and the well-being of his family.
Despite their close bond, Crichton has not spoken to Luai since his departure from the Panthers, but he has made it clear that he will support whatever decision Luai makes.
Ultimately, Crichton wants what's best for his best mate, regardless of where he ends up.
