Rugby league legend Peter Sterling<\/a> has warned Jarome Luai<\/a> \ufeffto be wary of big-money deals from rival NRL<\/a> clubs as the five-eighth weighs up his future.<\/p>\n

The Penrith Panthers<\/a> remain optimistic \ufeffabout retaining the off-contract and in-demand 26-year-old, with club director Greg Alexander emphatically rejecting the prospect of Luai receiving an early release<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

With the West Tigers attempting to lure Luai away from the Panthers' dynasty, Sterling advised the NSW and Samoan representative to mull over upheaving his career.<\/p>\n

"I know back in my time at Parramatta, there were opportunities to go elsewhere but you have to weigh up a lot of things, especially the fact that you're at a club that's successful," he told 9News Sydney.<\/p>\n

\"Jarome<\/p>\n

"[Are you] pretty happy with where you are living and the way things are going? Do you disrupt that while not necessarily knowing whether you are going to enjoy where you're headed?"<\/p>\n

The Tigers have reportedly tabled a four-year deal worth around $4.5 million<\/a>, with one year left to run on Luai's current contract.<\/p>\n

In comparison, \ufeffthe Panthers are said to have offered Luai a two-year \ufeffextension worth $1.7 million.<\/p>\n

One of the greatest playmakers in rugby league history\ufeff, Sterling cautioned Luai about chasing pay packets.<\/p>\n

"It's never all about the money," he said.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"If you go for the money, \ufeffyou're going for the wrong reason \u2014 that's first and foremost.<\/p>\n

"Obviously it's a huge consideration but \ufeffthere are a lot of other ones [too].<\/p>\n

No matter the outcome,\ufeff Sterling was confident Luai would make the right call for his circumstances.<\/p>\n

"He'll end up making the right decision and it'll be the choice that his gut and his heart tells him is the best way to go," he said.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Luai \ufeffwill be a key cog in the Panthers premiership defence as the side targets an unprecedented fourth-straight title.<\/p>\n

\"Panthers<\/p>\n

Sterling's Eels were unable to complete their quest for a four-peat in 1984 and the four-time premiership winner was unsure if the Panthers would be the team to affix their name to it.<\/p>\n

"To be able to win three in a row is extraordinary and they have been able to keep a vast majority of their players, and their junior nursey keeps bringing these great young talents through," he said.<\/p>\n

"They're going to be hard to beat.<\/p>\n

"If they're good enough to win that would be great but \ufeffI'm death-riding them," he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
