As the Penrith Panthers enter their 60th season, the club has evolved its recognition program to ensure it remains enduring, inclusive and worthy of our history.
The Panthers celebrate the extraordinary players, coaches and leaders whose commitment, talent and character have shaped the club. Until now, this legacy has been recognised through the Team of Legends and the Hall of Fame.
All former members of the Team of Legends will now be recognised as Panthers Legends, preserving their status while allowing new inductees to be honoured under a unified banner.
The highest accolade the club can bestow an individual remains inclusion in the Panthers Hall of Fame (which currently consists of Grahame Moran, Royce Simmons, Greg Alexander and Craig Gower), reserved for those whose contribution has been truly extraordinary.
There are currently 17 Panthers Legends. In this milestone season, the club begins the next chapter of recognition.
This week, eight new Panthers Legends will be announced, acknowledging individuals whose impact on the club meets the highest standards of achievement and service.
For the first time in the club’s history administrators and coaches will also be eligible for recognition, signifying the importance of those who have supported our players and provided them with the tools necessary to take on the games best.
From this point forward, one new Panther will be inducted as a Legend each year, ensuring each inductee receives the prominence and respect they deserve.
This change is about more than reflection, it is about safeguarding our legacy and paying tribute to those who built it.
