Penrith Panthers have confirmed six players are leaving the club with immediate effect, marking a significant end-of-season clear-out at the NRL club. Hooker Damir Lussick is among those moving on, with the Canterbury Bulldogs confirming his signing.

Dylan Edwards claimed the Panthers' top internal award for the 2026 season, edging out halfback Nathan Cleary for the honour. Several Panthers players have also been named in Rugby League World Cup squad lists as the international window draws closer.
