If you've kept up to date recently with the drama at the Wests Tigers, you'd know that the club is in complete turmoil, tearing itself apart from within. Board members being sacked , the CEO being investigated for family contracts, possibly gone by weekends end. Good Players have been leaving, think Galvin, Papalii, Da Silva, which brings me to Luai.
The NSW rep has more get out clauses from his 5 year, 6million dollar contract. Its being reported by Fox, Code sports and Luai himself that he has get out clauses throughout his 5 year Tigers deal. Luai is being quoted by Fox as saying "that's why I have get out clauses" The obvious question raises itself is Luai someone that the Eels could target for 2027, when Pezet leaves for the Broncos.
The pairing of Luai and Moses at state level worked a treat, imagine that partnership at club level. Not sure we have that type of coin, but then again maybe we do have close to it.
What are peoples thoughts, is this something powerbrokers may look at or will Joash or another junior be the clubs answer.

I hope you're not going to be devastated when we don't sign (or even approach) him.
He will either go back to riff or Perth .. would love for him to go to dogs to reunite with Galvin
Margo Kneel has him locked in for a BBQ and Gus has never met him
He would unlock Russel and Fox on that left side, yes for me.
if you don't even try to get him I'll be done with this ass club and the people that run the club.

If there open about talking to Luai then I'd say your pretty much putting the line through our junior development around our halves that's what a move like this tells me.All the Renzo Fletcher noise is just exactly that front office speak around pathway development.
If we did do it,it's a push all the cards in the middle hoping lightning strikes and Custers last stand around Moses's prime.as that's not lasting forever.
If we are interested and somehow get him, by all means would welcome him. Though i think he would want to be top dog at a club, not behind Moses in terms of commanding a team.
Perth could be very likely.
You would think everything points against us even being interested. But wow a premiership window with luai our current stars and a rep front rower would certainly push us into a premiership window wouldn't it. 2 or 3 players and you would have to rate us as genuine premiership threat.
