Jerome Luyes To Join PNG Chiefs In 2028
South Sydney winger Alex Johnston announced he will join the new NRL club, the PNG Chiefs, for their inaugural season in 2028. The announcement follows recent changes to several team rosters. South Sydney hooker Bronson Garlick stated that Johnston's experience and leadership will be for the new club. The 31-year-old winger is of Papua New Guinean heritage. Luai will trigger his existing Tigers option for the 2027 season, ensuring he remains committed to the club for the remainder of his current term. The announcement was made during the Wide World of Sports broadcast. The 31-year-old player shared the news regarding his future club. Jerome Lui is expected to exercise a get-out clause in his contract with the West Tigers at the end of next season. The move was reportedly facilitated by West Tigers general manager of football Michael Chambers and CEO Lorna McPherson.
