In a recent interview, new Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall addressed the rumors surrounding the potential signing of Jarome Luai, emphasizing his satisfaction with the current halves lineup.
Marshall acknowledged the natural interest in marquee players like Luai but highlighted the excitement surrounding the Tigers' new recruits and the potential return of Adam Doueihi from injury.
He stressed the team's focus on prioritizing their current roster and keeping recruitment decisions in-house.
Marshall's comments come as rival clubs are reportedly eyeing Luai for the 2025 season, with the Bulldogs and Tigers among those vying for his signature.
Despite the speculation, Marshall remained tight-lipped on the team's recruitment strategy, stating, "We'll keep that as in-house as possible." The Tigers' pursuit of a strong halves combination for the upcoming season reflects their determination to bounce back from a challenging period, with Marshall at the helm steering the team towards success.
