2026 recruitment & retention

[Bomb Voyage]

Out of curiosity, in what field is your source? A lot of people on here know someone within the club, but some specific ones seem to have connections within the broader NRL.

Come on man

Hethrington is on his way to us in 26.

Is that you Danny weidler?

Come on man

Man, with some of the people on this place, you can't blame me...

Like some of them saying Seibold is a certainty for the sack, or that DCE hates all of us supporters as a certainty, verified by their perfect instincts, it's like panning for gold in Manly Creek.

That signing does fit the "robust, versatile" profile yet another leaker described on here...

PANTHER CUB COULD BE ON THE MOVE

Former schoolboys star Harrison Hassett made his first grade debut with the Panthers earlier this year but he could be on the move as he prepares to test himself on the open market along with Mavrik Geyer, the son of Penrith legend Mark Geyer.

Hassett and Geyer are both off contract at the end of the year. Hassett opted to stay at Penrith two years ago despite significant interest from the Dolphins at the time.

He was rewarded with a taste of first grade earlier this year and it is believed the Panthers are keen to keep him. However, Sport Confidential understands that he and Geyer have appeared on the radar of rival clubs in recent weeks.

Hassett is one I've mentioned a few times.

One Id really like to provide edge competition

Ok I'm going to throw it out there... is Josh Pappali worth getting for 1 last season?! Raiders won't be re signing.... could have a BK type of impact potentially?

I like the idea but I think Taukeiaho is already filling that role for us. Better to spend the money on younger players. With the DCE / Fogarty swap and a pending downgrade of the Trbojevic contracts we are well placed to do some recruiting. Need to be smart about it.
