The problem with ‘24 is that our first season wouldn’t even be in Penrith. Hope they push it back a year and make more use of the new stadium.

From the western weekender:

Peter Graham has been confirmed as the new Panthers Group Chairman, while a surprise change has also been announced in relation to the CEO role.

Brian Fletcher, who has been CEO of both the football and leagues club operations, will now sit as CEO of the Panthers Group, with Matt Cameron promoted to be CEO of the football club.

A loyal supporter of the Panthers since the club’s foundation in 1967, Mr Graham becomes the Chairman of the Board following five years of service as a Director of the club.

Entrenched in the Penrith community, he is a founding member of the executive of Emu Plains Little Athletics Club and has been the President of Nepean High’s P&C for six years.

He is also a Director of Panthers on the Prowl — the club’s flagship community program — and is a mentor of the Building Young Men Program.

Mr Graham replaces outgoing Chairman Dave O’Neill, who failed in his bid to be re-elected at the club’s recent Board election.

Mr Cameron has been General Manager of Rugby League for the past three years, and moves into the CEO role having been entrenched in the team’s day-to-day operations for that period.





Interesting move re Matt Cameron. I think he is the most important person at the club so hopefully this will keep anyone from poaching him. I wonder if this is a sneaky move to get his salary out of the football department salary cap? Not sure if the general manager is included in any case but it seems like a strange time to re-organise.

I almost thought it was a difference person considering the position for a minute. Interesting decision.

Could be a sensible and legal way of lightening the footy departments salary budget. As you stated.

Good to see that Matt is tied up. Because I believe he was often the brains behind what Gould did at Penrith.

It was basically the same role anyway.

Fletcher is going to retire soon so it puts someone offically in the role

I’m a bit surprised that O’Neill failed to be re-elected given he was the one who brought Ivan back to the club and all the success that has resulted over the last 2 years.

Not that I care, he had too many other shortcomings, but I thought that would of kept him safe for a short while.
