Good news: Penrith Panthers Super Star Player is back…..

With the Panthers reportedly willing to pay Luai $1.7 million over two seasons to stay in Penrith, that money can now instead be used to hand out extensions to players such as Mitch Kenny, Izack Tago and Sunia Turuva, according to The Western Weekender’s Peter Lang.

Turuva burst onto the scene last year on the left wing, winning the NRL’s Rookie of the Year award.

He comes off contract at the end of 2024 and the Panthers are keen to ensure he remains at the foot of the mountains.

Kenny was also very good in his first season as starter at dummy-half after Api Koroisau departed for the Tigers.

Like Turuva, Kenny is also off contract after this upcoming season.

Tago’s contract runs through to the end of 2025, but it’s no surprise to see he is a top re-signing priority for the Panthers.

He was one of the most improved players in the NRL in 2023, and was in the mix for a debut Blues jersey.
