‘Crazy money’: Luai’s $2 million decision as three rival clubs circle off-contract Panthers star
“I’m not saying they don’t deserve it, but teams are desperate.”
“I think Penrith have told him they can only offer him $800,000 so if a club comes to him and offers him $1.2 million on a five-year deal, which they will, that’s an extra $2 million they can earn. That’s pretty hard to turn your back on,” Read said. But Phil Rothfield believes Luai will turn his back on the cash in favour of sustained success at the Panthers.
“He’s just bought a house in Penrith, a lovely family home. I have a feeling he’ll take a reasonable haircut to stay because he’s guaranteed success at that organisation not for one or two years but probably for the next six or seven,” Rothfield said. “As a player, you’re probably willing to take a couple hundred a year less to stay somewhere but if you’re talking up around three or four hundred a year, that’s a different beast.”
