After the Wests Tigers announced Jarome Luai would be released from the final year of his contract by mutual agreement, coach Benji Marshall has broken his silence to deny rumours their personal relationship has broken down.

Luai will join the Parramatta Eels next season before linking with the PNG Chiefs for their debut season in 2028. What does this mean for the Wests Tigers? Could the Luai-Moses halves pairing at the Eels be a winning combination?

Plus, are the Dragons any closer to confirming their head coach?

And could we see Roosters flyer Mark Nawaqanitawase play in the rugby league and rugby world cups in consecutive years?

This week, sports reporter Billie Eder is joined by national head of sport Neil Breen and chief rugby league reporter Adrian Proszenko to discuss the latest NRL news.
