Penrith Panthers forward Moses Leota has sent shockwaves through the NRL community after revealing he is considering retirement in the near future.
In a recent interview, the 28-year-old prop hinted that the 2025 season could be his last, citing the physical toll of the game and a desire to spend more time with family.
> “I’ve been thinking about what’s next,” Leota said. “Footy has been my life for so long, but I’m starting to feel like the end might be close.”
Leota has been a key part of Penrith’s forward pack during their premiership dominance, known for his aggressive style and consistent performances in the middle.
While he hasn’t made an official decision yet, the comments have left fans and teammates surprised.
> “He’s a massive part of this team,” one teammate said. “If he does decide to hang up the boots, he’ll go down as a Panther great.”
The club has not made any formal statement regarding Leota’s future, but insiders say discussions are ongoing behind the scenes.
If confirmed, his retirement would mark the end of an era for Penrith’s forward pack — and leave big shoes to fill.
