Stats & History
Coming off their fourth consecutive NRL Premiership win in 2024, the Penrith Panthers have already established themselves as the best team of the NRL era. Despite constant squad changes, Ivan Cleary’s side are showing no sign of slowing down as they search for title number five.
This off-season, the Panthers have lost Jarome Luai and James Fisher-Harris, who have both been key components over the past four years. Winger Sunia Turuva will also need to be replaced after heading to the Tigers.
As a result, the Panthers have added young five-eighth Blaize Talagi from the Eels, while experienced second rower Isaiah Papali’I has joing from the Tigers.
Let’s see how the NRL outright betting markets are shaping up at the bookies for the 2025 NRL season.

Best Penrith Panthers bets for NRL 2025
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for Penrith, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- Despite the Panthers seemingly unstoppable success in recent times, they head into the season with the second-best odds of $4.75 with top NRL bookies. The loss of Luai and Fisher-Harris are set to be major omissions, but as they seem to be able to do every year, expect the Panthers to find replacements.
- At $1.60 to finish in the top four, the Panthers are expected to be right back in the mix this year. They lose a lot of key players throughout the State of Origin period, but either side, they will be a formidable task to beat. Star halfback Nathan Cleary played just 13 games last season, yet the side were able to cover his absence, so expect them to make the top four once again.
- With winger Sunia Turuva leaving the club, look towards the experienced Brian To’o to lead the Panthers once again in 2025. The Samoa and New South Wales winger led the side in both 2022 and 2023 and is one of the top wingers in the NRL. While he may miss some games in the middle of the year, he should still be a safe bet to lead the club.

Panthers players to watch in 2025
Blaize Talagi
Born: 16/3/2005
Games: 19
Tries: 11
Position: Five-Eighth
With Jarome Luai leaving the Panthers in the off-season, the five-eighth spot is up for grabs, with new recruit Blaize Talagi the prime candidate to take the role. In his first season last year, the 20-year-old scored 11 tries in 19 games and won Parramatta’s Rookie of the Year award, establishing himself as one of the top prospects in the NRL. Playing in such a high quality side, Talagi has all the tools to succeed and take his game to another level in 2025.
Isaah Yeo
Born: 6/11/1994
Games: 245
Tries: 31
Position: Lock
Captain of the Panthers, New South Wales and Australia, Isaah Yeo is arguably one of the best locks in the history of the NRL. He has made the Dally M Team of the Year in four of the last five years and became the first Australian to win the Golden Boot since 2017. Once again in 2025, he is set to play a major role, with his mix of tough carries and playmaking ability critical in attack, while he rarely misses a tackle in defence.
Liam Martin
Born: 5/3/1997
Games: 126
Tries: 27
Position: Second Rower
After winning the Clive Churchill Medal in the 2024 Grand Final, Liam Martin proved that he is one of the most important players in this Penrith side. Known for his high-energy play on both sides of the ball, Martin is a game-winner as he can cause a momentum shift at any point in the game. With James Fisher-Harris leaving the side, expect Martin to become the new enforcer in the Panther forward line.

The Penrith Panthers, established in 1967, have evolved from humble beginnings into a dominant force in the National Rugby League (NRL). Overcoming early challenges in player recruitment due to their outer-west Sydney location, the Panthers focused on grassroots development, leading to their inaugural finals appearance in 1985. The late 1980s and early 1990s marked a golden era, highlighted by their first premiership victory in 1991. A second premiership followed in 2003, reinforcing their status in the league.In recent years, the Panthers have solidified their legacy with an unprecedented four consecutive premierships from 2021 to 2024, culminating in a 14-6 victory over the Melbourne Storm in the 2024 Grand Final.
As the 2025 season approaches, the Panthers face significant roster changes. Notably, forward James Fisher-Harris has departed to join the New Zealand Warriors, leaving a pivotal role in the forward pack. Emerging talents Liam Henry and Lindsay Smith are competing to fill this vacancy, with Henry emphasising consistent performance to secure a starting position.
The team has also seen the exit of key players such as Jarome Luai, who has joined the Wests Tigers. To bolster their squad, the Panthers have recruited Isaiah Papali’i and Blaize Talagi, aiming to maintain their competitive edge.
Under the continued leadership of coach Ivan Cleary, the Panthers are preparing for the 2025 season with a blend of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers.
Can they secure five-in-a-row in 2025?
