Wests Tigers are poised to make a four-year, $4.5 million offer to Jarome Luai in a bid to snare the most prized signature on the open market.<\/p>\n
The Tigers have had ongoing talks with Luai and his manager and are planning to lodge a formal offer. Sources with knowledge of the situation, not authorised to speak publicly about the matter, said a contract could potentially be put before Luai\u2019s management before close of business on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The development comes after his masthead revealed that Tigers coach Benji Marshall had personally made a secret pitch to Luai at the Penrith playmaker\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
The Tigers deal will dwarf a Panthers extension offer of $1.7 million over two years, which Luai has so far opted not to accept. Marshall believes he can build the club around Luai, who will get the chance to be the chief playmaker if he opts to shift from the foot of the mountains.<\/p>\n
