The Wests Tigers made headlines in the rugby league community earlier this week with a stunning announcement.
On Thursday afternoon, CODE Sports unveiled that the club had allowed five-eighth and co-captain Jarome Luai to leave, potentially as soon as this season ends.
Luai, whose exit has been rumored in connection with the Eels, is anticipated to create approximately $1.2 million in salary cap relief.
This financial boost will provide the Tigers with essential flexibility as they work to revamp their roster under the leadership of coach Benji Marshall.
"The talk is Latu Fainu. They want to extend him. We haven't seen the best of Latu yet, there has been so much optimism around him," noted Ennis during the pre-match segment of Friday Night Football.
