Luai discusses role in Leniu's signing with Parramatta Eels
Summary

Jarome Luai confirmed he was aware of Spencer Leniu's move to the Parramatta Eels, expressing excitement for their reunion after their success at Penrith. Leniu has agreed to a four-year contract with the Eels after leaving the Sydney Roosters, which includes a shared opportunity to strengthen team connections during the Samoa World Cup camp. Despite being eager to assist Leniu's signing, Luai refrained from contacting management, believing it to be disrespectful. Their reunited efforts aim to turn around Parramatta's fortunes ahead of the 2027 NRL season, creating competition for playmaker positions within the squad.
