HULL KR halfback Brad Schneider has been linked with a surprise club for 2024.

With the former Canberra Raiders star only joining Rovers on a short-term deal until the end of the 2023 Super League season, question marks have been raised over where the youngster's long-term future lies.

However, the Canberra Times is reporting that Schneider is being looked at by reigning champions Penrith Panthers in the NRL, with Ivan Cleary losing back-up playmaker Jack Cogger to the Newcastle Knights.

When asked about Schneider's future at KR, head coach Willie Peters said: "I mean with Brad, it was always short-term, which we'd spoken about initially," Peters said.

The Penrith Panthers are reportedly set to make a play for former Canberra Raiders half Brad Schneider.

Schneider desparted the Canberra Raiders mid-season to take up a short-term deal in the English Super League with Hull KR in search of more opprtunities in the top grade.

He has received just that in England. Schneider kicked a field goal to win his side his debut game, and has kicked on since, playing 12 Super League games, all of them impressing the club, although Hull have already confirmed Schneider won't be wearing their uniform next year after making a series of signings.

NRL referee boss Jared Maxwell joined head of football Graham Annesley for the weekly briefing on Monday reviewing the round's officiating decisions.

Two incidents were covered from the Raiders-Broncos clash on Saturday - Kotoni Staggs' elbow on Rapana which resulted in a one-game ban, and the "contentious" escort penalty against Canberra's Hudson Young.
