Penrith will not enter into a bidding war with Wests Tigers for Jarome Luai, with the Panthers unlikely to increase their current offer for the star five-eighth.
The Tigers are expected to offer Luai a deal worth as much as $4.4 million over four seasons, after Benji Marshall met with the Panthers No.6 to talk about 2025 and beyond.
The deal would make Luai the face of the Wests Tigers and hand him the responsibility of helping drag the club back from 12 years of on-field misery.
