Jarome Luai will join the Parramatta Eels from 2027, the club officially announced on Tuesday. The NRL playmaker’s move follows speculation about his future at Wests Tigers. Wests Tigers half Benji Marshall dismissed reports of a Luai relationship breakdown described as "made up rumours." Marshall also claimed a "World War 10" dispute explained the saga. Parramatta confirmed Luai’s signing though still further details were released. Marshall’s comments following Nine.com.au, SMH and ABC both reported on the unexplained transfer claims.
