EMERGENCY POD: Ivan Cleary to Leave Penrith 2027!

I know a lot of the Penrith Panthers players are off contract in 2027.

Nathan Cleary and Isaiah Yeo are the two big ones, but amongst a number of others, which we spoke about it before and P&G have sort of circled that they're looking at a lot of those Penrith Panthers players.
