Big $700k winner in Luai sweepstakes<\/a><\/p>\nThe Chiefs are interested in adding Cleary and if given the chance, will throw the world at him. It\u2019s likely he\u2019ll command much more than his former teammate Luai.<\/p>\n
Cleary has indicated he wants to go to market on November 1 and NRL360 host Braith Anasta thinks that if the Panthers aren\u2019t able to lock their star halfback down, it\u2019s going to be difficult for Cleary to resist whatever the Chiefs\u2019 offer.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you see Nathan going to market here? Because if he goes to market, I think it means he\u2019ll leave,\u201d Anasta said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll get a minimum of $1.5 million a year tax free. Minimum. So my point is, if the Panthers can\u2019t re-sign him before November 1, he\u2019ll have all these offers who are way bigger.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he gets to November 1, I reckon he\u2019s gone. Why would you go to market if you\u2019re not going to leave?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPNG will throw so much money at him. He\u2019ll be on more than God,\u201d Read added.<\/p>\n
While the Panthers will do everything in their power to keep Cleary and Yeo at the very least, there will be one or two casualties.<\/p>\n
Winger Brian To\u2019o has arguably been the game\u2019s best flank during the Panthers\u2019 dynasty but according to Read and Carayannis, he\u2019s the most likely to depart the club at the end of his current contract.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think of all the players off contract at the end of next year, Brian To\u2019o is at the longest odds to stay,\u201d Carayannis revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m with Mick. I think Brian To\u2019o is the logical one (to leave),\u201d Read added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Panthers are being tipped to re-sign the majority of their superstars before they hit free agency on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":801770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-801769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=801769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/801770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=801769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=801769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=801769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
