Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has updated his squad for Thursday night’s Round 26 clash against the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium.
Cleary has opted to rest 16 players in the penultimate round of the NRL season, providing an opportunity for several rising talents.
Sione Fonua, David Fale, Zac Lipowicz and Billy Phillips will make their NRL debuts, while Austin Dias and Riley Price will make their club debuts.
2024 Club Person of the Year Matt Eisenhuth will captain the side, with Brad Schneider named at halfback.
The Panthers will wear the 2025 Home Jersey for the match.
