It's unlikely the Bulldogs paying Luai what he wants, but I can see the dogs trying to push his value up as high as possible so the Tigers take the maximum possible hit to the cap. Dogs play price would be to give him close to asking and hope that the lure of mates at the club covers the rest, but I don't think that's what Luai is really after.

Being a rugby league journalist seems like one of the easiest jobs going around.
Just keeps everyone guessing.

There aren’t many other stories to be writing about at the end of November … there is still weeks to run on this … even if he accepts the Tigers offer… there is the ten day period where Penrith can change their offer …

The Panthers are believed to want two of the Tigers' key players - a veteran prop and a boom rookie - before entertaining any deal for 2024.
Sources have told Wide World of Sports that if the Tigers agree to swap Luai for prop David Klemmer and young halfback sensation Lachlan Galvin, the deal could be done immediately.

Juicy swap deal twist to seal immediate Luai exit
The two players Panthers want immediately
wwos.nine.com.au
It's another Tommy Talau - Josh Addo Carr moment possibly!
As much as I love the potential of Galvin, if this landed Luai for 2024, I would strongly consider it.
Klemmer is hard to replace but may mean we keep Blore as a middle for '24 and forego Olam.
Damned if we do, damned if we don't!
Don't believe the Bulldogs are honest bidders for Luai. Why would they wait four weeks after Luai could receive offers from other clubs before thinking about making an offer? Luai could have been signed by us or any other club in that time. They are up there as one of the grubbiest clubs going around.

Klemmer was one of our best forwards this year. 2025 is indeed fine.

Why would we do that? No way i wanna lose Klem and Galvin.
And i know he’s not the same as Luai but we have Sezer for 2024

Yeah timing makes no sense unless they have been talking before hand.
To me sounds very much worried about AFB to up the price

I wouldn't even give up Seyfarth. It's just BS games. Sign him for 25. If they want a swap no worries you can have heaps of players. Jayden Sullivan, Sione Fainu, Brandon Tumeth, Adam Doueihi, Asu Kepaoa, Jake Simpkin. David Nofoaluma and Aidan Sezer. They can have 3 of them.

"Under the NRL’s new contracting model, Penrith will get confirmation from the NRL about the Tigers interest once Luai gives an indication that he is ready to accept the rival offer."
Thats not how i understood the rule when it first came out. Initially the NRL accepted the offer had been made and then notified Penrith that an offer was on the table. Penrith and only Penrith could make a counter offer within the next 10 days. At the end of the 10 days Luai could accept either offer or reject both. That article above suggests he has to take one of the offers. The other thing is if WT have made an offer the dogs aren't allowed to negotiate until the 10 days are up and Luai has rejected both offers.

Brooks > Luai
Klem > AFB
Galvin > Latu + Sullivan
But stuff em. The only way I would consider it effected signing Luai for 2025. Like what happened with Fox

Klemmer and a gamble on a youngster still to make first grade for Luai seems like a decent no brainer swap to me.
Idk what is too difficult about that decision.
We are all complaining about having shit halves .. So bite the bullet and make it fkn happen. Do we want to get the club moving or what ? Do we want to finally have good halves .. , or still just stay in a rut.

Mmmmm I wonder the source for this story ... Klemmer & Galvin both managed by the one & only Isaac Moses!

Isn't that now the Storm and Panthers who wanted Galvin in a swap? If so, he is far more than a gamble when two of the biggest clubs want him and see his potential. If true, wait for 25.
