“That’s my theory. I just do think Jarome could command huge money.”
One group that would have that cash to splash is the Canberra Raiders, who’re looking out for a brand new five-eighth with Jack Wighton to hitch South Sydney subsequent 12 months.
Raiders nice Laurie Daley floated the membership as a possible touchdown spot for Luai on Tuesday.

The pair have been enjoying collectively since they have been youngsters and that connection could also be sufficient to see Luai keep put, even whether it is for much less cash.
