Penrith is set to announce the signing of Paul Momirovski from the Wests Tigers in a swap deal for Daine Laurie.
Fox Sports' George Clarke revealed Momirovski will sign a two-year deal to join the Panthers, while Laurie moves to the Tigers a year ahead of his planned departure.
Momirovski was loaned out to Melbourne last season and scored four tries in six games before a hand injury saw him miss out on the grand final.
The 24-year-old was also linked to Canterbury in recent weeks.ย
Laurie joins the Tigers on a three-year deal that will begin a year earlier than his expected arrival in 2022.
Clearly, Paul was not happy at the Tigers, and he is coming to a stronger club. I am stoked with this.
Daine Laurie is a very talented player. Whoโs not yet had the chance to shine in first grade. He was a player of the year in Penrithโs lower grades & sad to see him go. Not so sure that Westโs didnโt get the better end of this deal. Though Laurie was going anyway, at the end of next season.
Penrith should have re-signed Laurie & he wouldnโt have been expensive.
