Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has named his squad to face Cronulla Sharks at Panthers Stadium on Friday.
Spencer Leniu will make his NRL debut to cap off a whirlwind season for the 18-year-old prop, who started the year in the Jersey Flegg side, was
upgraded to the club's top 30 list and recently
agreed to a contract extension.
Viliame Kikau returns from suspension and Sione Katoa is back via the bench, as
Jarome Luai and Wayde Egan have been ruled out with their respective injuries.
Panthers received an exemption from the NRL to name 19-year-old playmaker Matt Burton on the list of reserves.
The Panthers will wear the 2019 Home Jersey.
