PENRITH has granted a release to club legend Luke Lewis after weeks of speculation about his future.
The decision will be revealed at a press conference this afternoon where both Lewis and Panthers general manager Phil Gould will be in attendance.
"It's unfortunate but it's like a bad marriage - there's no point hanging on to someone when he doesn't want to be here," a Penrith official told thetelegraph.com.au.
There is speculation that Lewis spent the weekend in the company of Paul Gallen his former Penrith teammate Wade Graham in Cronulla.
The Sharks are the front runners to sign him for next season but there is strong interest from St George Illawarra as well.
It is too late for Lewis to switch clubs mid-season as the June 30 deadline for transfers has now passed
He will play out the remainder of the season with the Panthers.
dont get me wrong, luke lewis is a fantastic player and would be happy to have him in a sharks jumper, just concerned we are starting to get a bit heavy again in the forwards dollars wise
id say put him in the centres but does he have enough pace for it?
