Official 2024 Penrith Panthers Line-Up, Contracts & Development Players | NRL |

 

Utility player Peter Mamouzelos has re-signed with the Rabbitohs for a three-year contract that runs through the conclusion of the 2027 campaign.

Mamouzelos has seven appearances in the top grade since making his NRL debut for the Rabbitohs against the Knights in 2021.

The 23-year-old was a key player in South Sydney’s 2023 NRL State Championship victory and NSW Cup premiership.

Mamouzelos declared, “I’m really excited to be extending my time with this Club.”

“I told my manager I didn’t want to go anywhere else. I’ve grown up here in the South Sydney area, it’s always been my team and I love this club.”

The Dragons, meanwhile, have added to their depth in the halves with the signing of playmaker Jesse Marschke for the 2024 season.

The 26-year-old has appeared 72 times in the NSW Cup, scoring 18 tries, and last year helped the Bears to a grand final appearance.

“Jesse adds valuable depth to our spine and is coming off a strong season with the Bears,” Dragons coach Shane Flanagan said.

“We look forward to welcoming him to the club as we ramp up our preparations for the start of the 2024 season.”

The Storm and Wests Tigers meanwhile have agreed on a player swap which will see Justin Olam and Shawn Blore trade clubs ahead of the start of the 2024 season.

Both players have put pen to paper on three-year deals with their new clubs, with premiership-winning centre Olam departing the Storm to link up with the Wests Tigers and Blore heading to Melbourne after three seasons at the joint venture.

After securing a release from the final year of his contract with the Panthers, Zac Hosking has joined the Raiders on a three-year deal effective immediately.

The 26-year-old back-rower arrives in the nation’s capital after playing a pivotal role in Penrith’s premiership-winning campaign in 2023, in which he appeared in 21 matches.

Raiders NRL recruitment manager Joel Carbone said Hosking will bring quality and versatility to Ricky Stuart’s squad.

“In the brief time we’ve known Zac, and through watching him play in the NRL over the last few seasons, it’s evident that his work ethic, ability, and character will be great additions to our club,” Carbone said on the Raiders’ website.

“He also adds some versatility to our squad having played several positions in his career and we’re delighted to have him on board.”

In announcing they had granted Hosking a release from his deal, which ran through until the end of 2024, Panthers Rugby League CEO Matt Cameron said it would now give the club a chance to promote from within.

It follows confirmation the Panthers will lose five-eighth Jarome Luai at the conclusion of this season, after the three-time premiership winner signed a five-year deal with the Wests Tigers from 2025.

Luai made his NRL debut in 2018 and has played 107 games for the Panthers over six seasons, including four successive grand finals from 2020-23.

“We are super excited to announce the signing of Jarome for the 2025 season on a five-year deal,” said Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall.

“His experience as a genuine premiership-winning playmaker will be great for us and the future of our club.”

The Sharks have landed a major recruitment coup for the 2025 season with the signing of Dally M Prop of the Year Addin Fonua-Blake. 

The Tongan front-rower, who asked and was given an early release from his contract with the Kiwi side, has agreed to terms on a four-year deal with Cronulla that will run from 2025–2028. However, he will stay with the Warriors in 2024 before moving on.

Warriors CEO Cameron George stated that a player swap option was not included in the agreement in a statement that was made public soon after the Sharks announced the signing.

Waqa Blake, a former centre for the Eels, left the NRL after reaching an agreement to sign a one-year contract with St Helens of the Super League.

Blake, who has represented Fiji Bati in five Tests to date, made 165 appearances during stints with the Panthers and Eels, which included playing in the 2022 grand final.
