Jarome Luai will join the Parramatta Eels from 2027, the club formally announced on Tuesday. The NRL playmaker’s move comes after 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 announced Luai’s signing though no further details were released. Marshall’s comments following Nine.com.au, SMH and ABC both reported on the unexplained transfer claims.
