Penrith’s golden run finally came to an end this season as they fell to Brisbane in the preliminary finals.
The Panthers had claimed the last four titles in a row during an unprecedented period of success in the NRL and put themselves firmly in the picture for a fifth when they faced the Broncos.
However, after climbing off the bottom of the ladder at the midway point of the campaign and finishing in seventh spot, they won two finals fixtures before their winning streak was snapped.
Which players have left the Penrith Panthers in 2025?
Penrith have done minimal work on their roster during the 2025 campaign as they have locked in the key pieces of their roster for the next few years following a string of high-profile departures after premierships.
Brad Schneider has signed a deal to sign with the Dolphins after being Nathan Cleary’s understudy, while Mavrik Geyer will move to the Wests Tigers.
Meanwhile, Daine Laurie, Preston Riki and Luke Sommerton will also leave the club, along with members of the extended squad John Sagaga, Zack Lamont and Austin Dias.
