After revealing at the start of February that the Panthers were preparing to open talks with them over an extension to keep them at the club, Cameron revealed that they have since moved to “preliminary conversations” with the duo.

However, they are in no rush to lock them down to a new deal despite the Perth Bears and PNG Chiefs lurking around the corner.

“We’ve had preliminary conversations with both Nathan and Ivan and their respective managers and at this point in time, they’re contracted until the end of 2027,” Cameron said on SEN’s Kick Off with Brandy & Jimmy.

“We’re really in no rush to get anything done but we’re confident we’ll have both of them at the club as long as they want to be here.”

Set to hit the open market come November 1, Cleary who has achieved all there is to accomplish in the 13-man code, has made it no secret that he would like to test his value on the open market.

“In my mind, there’s no need to make a decision right now. I don’t want to make decisions about my future too quickly, or jump the gun on anything,” Nathan Cleary told The Herald last month.

“At the end of the day, I love where I’m at right now. To me, I haven’t really thought too much about my future because I still have two years to run on my contract.

“I understand people will start to talk about it, but it’s not in my mind at all – it still seems so far away.

“I look at how I want to be once I retire, I want to have no regrets – and that’s with the way I play, my preparation, whether I’m enjoying myself, contract negotiations … it’s a more holistic thing rather than just about contracts. I never want it to become a distraction. [But] it still feels so far away.”

He has also been linked with a potential move to rugby union.

“My passion is rugby league. I couldn’t see myself leaving any time soon. Somewhere down the track, maybe. But not at the moment,” Cleary added.

“I’m not closing any doors. I’m open to anything. I’m also very happy with where I’m at, I’m very happy with rugby league – it’s my passion – and I couldn’t see anything changing anytime soon.

“I don’t want to say something like, ‘I’m never going to do it’, then you eventually do it. So much can change in the sporting world.

“It’s hard for me to envisage not [playing for] Penrith. I absolutely love Penrith, it’s home to me.”

KIWIS FORWARD ADDRESSES FUTURE

A key member of the forward pack in the club’s four premiership victories, Penrith Panthers front-rower Mosese Leota has opened up on his long-term future.

This comes as he can entertain offers from rival teams as early as November 1, as he is off contract at the end of the 2027 season.

Debuting for the club back in 2016, the 30-year-old St Mary’s Saints junior has racked up over 200 NRL appearances for the side and represented both Samoa and New Zealand on the international stage.

Speaking to The Western Weekender, Leota declared that he wants to remain at the Panthers for the remainder of his career and is keen to sign an extension with them beyond 2027.

“Yeah 100 per cent! This club’s been my home for so many years now and I want to repay the faith,” Leota said.

“They believed in me from the start, so I think that’s something that I want to do.”

He is one of 13 players who will run off-contract at the end of 2027.

Others include Blaize Talagi, Paul Alamoti and State of Origin quartet Nathan Cleary, Liam Martin, Brian To’o and Isaah Yeo.
