Greg Alexander has shut down suggestions the club may let Jarome Luai forgo the remainder of his contract to sign elsewhere as Isaah Yeo implored him to stay at the Panthers long-term.
The Tigers are reportedly the frontrunners to sign Luai after making a mammoth $4.5 million offer should he choose to leave the Panthers.
However, speaking on SEN radio, Panthers Deputy Chairman Alexander bristled at talk the Panthers would let him go before the end of his deal, which expires in November 2024.

However, Alexander believes comparing Inglis’ situation to Luai’s is wide of the mark.
“Yeah but wasn’t that for salary cap reasons, you’re trying to make a story out of it,” Alexander said.
“You can’t compare Greg Inglis, his situation, leaving Melbourne to go to Souths, to Jarome Luai.
“Jarome Luai has a contract with Penrith for 2024, he will not be playing for the Tigers, I don’t know what else I have to say.”
