Penrith Panthers is delighted to confirm the re-signing of both Kalani Leuluai-Going and Tom Ale for the 2027 season.
The Kiwi pair joined the club from New Zealand Warriors in 2026, and played key roles in the Panthers’ charge to the NSW Cup title.
Leuluai-Going made his club debut in Round 1 of the 2026 NRL season as Panther No. 637.
The 29-year-old forward captained the NSW Cup side throughout the season, and led the Panthers to a dominant Grand Final victory over Newtown Jets.
Ale, who arrived to Penrith with 41 NRL appearances to his name, was another core member of the Panthers squad in 2026.
The 27-year-old prop was a mainstay in coach Matt Eisenhuth’s team, scoring six tries in 20 appearances throughout the NSW Cup season.
Panthers General Manager Rugby League Shane Elford was pleased to retain Leuluai-Going and Ale for the 2027 season.
“We’re delighted to have Kalani and Tom locked in at Panthers,” Elford said.
“Both have brought leadership, experience and quality to the club, and we look forward to their contributions in 2027.”
