Nathan Cleary set to sign two-year Panthers extension as Chiefs miss out

Nathan Cleary is set to sign a two-year extension with Penrith that includes a two-year player option, according to Danny Weidler. The PNG Chiefs have reportedly been told they've missed out on the Dally M Medallist. That ends the Chiefs' pursuit of their top target, after they were prepared to offer him around $1.5 million a season tax-free. Earlier reports had Cleary earning upwards of $1.7 million a season, with Isaah Yeo also staying at the club. Penrith can now turn their attention to re-signing Moses Leota.
