The Panthers have confirmed star centre Stephen Crichton will depart the club at the end of the 2023 season.
Crichton is coming off contract and has attracted the interest of a number of rivals including the Bulldogs, who are said to be willing to offer him up to $900,000 a season to play fullback.
The 22-year-old played a pivotal role in Penrith’s back-to-back premierships and starred for Samoa in the recent Rugby League World Cup.
