Penrith Panthers coach Matt Cameron says the club will not rush off-contract players to secure new deals after Ivan Cleary’s decision to step down. Speaking as the Panthers prepare for a transition following Cleary’s announced departure, Cameron says players have earned the right to determine their futures at the appropriate time, rather than facing pressure to sign immediately. The comments reflect a broader approach to list management as the club plans for the next coaching period and aims to retain key talent. All three reports focus on Cameron’s position that negotiations should proceed without urgency imposed by the change in coaching leadership. They also link the re-signing discussion to the timing of player contracts and the Panthers’ desire to maintain squad continuity despite the leadership shift. The coverage consistently frames the message as an effort to balance contract certainty for the club with fairness to players during a period of change, with no indication of a rushed timetable.
