Luke Brooks has agreed to a two-year $1.1 million deal to stay at the Wests Tigers – but the future of his halves partner Mitchell Moses is in limbo as the five-eighth weighs up an offer from Parramatta.
The Wests Tigers have finally secured the services of one of the big four, with Brooks accepting an Ivan Cleary approved contract worth close to $550,000 a season.
Fairfax Media understands James Tedesco is now weighing up a massive four-year, $4.5m deal that will see him become one of the highest-paid players in the game.
Cleary officially began his tenure at the Tigers on Monday, but he signed off on revised contract offers that were tabled to the "big four" last Friday.

Moses was offered a three-year deal – but it is becoming increasingly likely he will depart Tigertown, with the Eels joining the race for his services.
Parramatta are keen on luring Moses back to his junior club but won't fork out ridiculous money for a player who still has to live up to his enormous potential. While the Eels are happy with the development of Clint Gutherson, they have been on the look-out for a play-maker to partner Corey Norman in the long term.

Nathan Cleary is happy at the Panthers and won't walk out on his deal to link up with his dad at the Tigers, but ironically both Brooks and Cleary come off contract at the end of 2019.
Tigers skipper Aaron Woods has also had a three-year deal put to him, with the NSW Origin prop weighing up whether he wants to be part of the Cleary revolution.
Fairfax Media has been told Cleary told the players "You're either on the bus or off the bus" in his first meeting with the group on Monday morning.
The Bulldogs have made a huge play at both Woods and Tedesco, but it's likely the decision of one could determine the future of the other. Canterbury aren't keen on retaining Will Hopoate, who has been shopped around to several clubs as the Bulldogs look to clear the decks for next year.
Five-eighth Josh Reynolds and hooker Michael Lichaa are also off contract at Belmore, with whispers about James Graham being shopped to Newcastle getting louder.
