After reports emerged that they were interested in star Panthers playmaker Jarome Luai, the Canberra Raiders have closed the door on the idea, exiting the race for his services.

Off-contract at the end of next season and free to negotiate with clubs from November 1, Jarome Luai will become the next big name, with multiple clubs aiming to poach him from the Panthers, a team that has seen him claim two NRL premierships in 2021 and 2022.

As the Raiders have been one of the clubs brought into the conversation for Luai due to the departure of Jack Wighton, The Daily Telegraph is reporting that the club has closed the door on the idea after speaking with senior management at Canberra.

The Canberra Raiders are still interested in signing Gold Coast star David Fifita if he chooses to enact the get-out clause in his Titans contract.

It's a clause Fifita is believed to still be mulling over, where the sacking of former Titans coach Justin Holbrook would allow him to leave the Glitter Strip.

Gold Coast captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui is set to gain an extra year on his contract as a result of the same clause, with the Raiders expecting a similar thing will happen with Fifita.
