Penrith Panthers News

NRL: The NRL 360 panel react to the news that James Fisher-Harris is departing from the Panthers at seasons end to join the Warriors.

Stephen Crichton , Apisai Koroisau, Viliame Kikau, Matt Burton, Spencer Leniu, Kurt Capewell , J’Maine Hopgood and — most recently — Jarome Luai.

The three-time premiership winner leaves the foot of the mountains as one of the best front rowers in the NRL, with Warriors CEO Cameron George describing the signing as “undoubtedly one of the biggest in our club’s history”. So special that the club was never going to stand his way when Fisher-Harris informed the club on Sunday morning of his desire to return home, having only recently returned from New Zealand after attending his grandfather’s funeral.“I wouldn’t say too long, but young family, went home for his granddad’s funeral and just realised with his brother returning from overseas to come home and I guess just thought, ‘That’s what I want to do’.

For instance, with Luai’s impending departure also weighing over the club’s future perhaps there could also be financial flexibility now to target a long-term solution at five-eighth.
