The 28-year-old will co-captain the joint venture alongside former Panthers teammate Api Koroisau, despite not yet having played a game in Tigers colours.
After winning four-straight premierships with Penrith, his move to the three-time wooden spooners is one of the biggest stories heading into 2025.
Luai is expected to partner young gun Lachlan Galvin in the halves for the side's first game against the Knights on March 7.
