They look set to welcome a young star into their ranks, at the expense of a premiership-winning halfback.<\/p>\n
Jack Cogger<\/a> looks set to return to the Penrith Panthers<\/a>, after reaching an agreement that will see him reside in Western Sydney for the next three seasons, according to the\u00a0Newcastle Herald.<\/p>\n The Knights will reportedly contribute to his contract in 2026, which sweetened the deal for the Panthers to sign him.<\/p>\n He is expected to serve as the main back-up half to Nathan Cleary<\/a>, with Brad Schneider<\/a> set to join the Dolphins<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n The move will open the door for Canberra Raiders<\/a> prop Trey Mooney<\/a> to join the club, after he was told he would not have a starting role in the nation’s capital due to Josh Papali’i’s\u00a0extension.<\/p>\n Mooney’s contract has reportedly been finalised this week with the Knights, and will join the club’s ranks for at least the next three seasons.<\/p>\n The young forward will be announced at the club once his Raiders release has been officially granted.<\/p>\n
