Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary recently shared a devastating update on James Fisher-Harris’ potential return to the club for the 2025 season. Fisher-Harris, a key figure in the Panthers’ forward pack, has been facing increasing challenges regarding his future at the club.
Cleary explained that Fisher-Harris’ future with Penrith has been a point of concern, especially considering the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the veteran player’s recovery from injuries. While Fisher-Harris has always been an integral part of the Panthers’ lineup, Cleary admitted that the 2025 season could see a difficult transition for both the player and the club.
The coach expressed genuine sympathy for the situation, noting that Fisher-Harris’ dedication to the Panthers has never been in question. However, the circumstances surrounding his recovery and contract negotiations have put his potential return in jeopardy.
Cleary conveyed the heartbreaking reality of the situation: that the club might have to face the reality of life without Fisher-Harris in 2025. His contributions to the Panthers have been immeasurable, and losing such a player would undoubtedly be a blow to the club’s aspirations for the future. While Cleary remained cautiously optimistic about exploring possible solutions, he acknowledged that tough decisions may be necessary.
The NRL community will be watching closely to see if Fisher-Harris can make a full recovery and whether Penrith will be able to retain one of their most influential players for the 2025 season. For now, though, the uncertainty surrounding his future continues to hang over the Panthers as they look to secure their roster for the upcoming years.
