Wests Tigers will ramp up talks with off-contract players after receiving a $1.2 million boost in their salary cap following Jarome Luai's decision to sign with the PNG Chiefs.
Luai's move to quit the Tigers at the end of the 2027 campaign and join the Chiefs for their inaugural season in 2028 will strengthen Benji Marshall's bid to retain the 11 players who enter the final 12 months of their contract on November 1.
