The Penrith Panthers may face the risk of losing one of their forwards due to a lack of communication regarding a contract extension. As it stands, the club has not offered Liam Henry a new deal beyond the end of his current contract.
Henry has significantly elevated his performance over the last two seasons, playing a crucial role in the Panthers' forward pack and contributing to their 2024 NRL Grand Final win against the Melbourne Storm.
Having joined the club in 2019 and rising through its pathways, the 24-year-old forward consistently excels on the field and is expected to improve even further with additional experience.
Currently under contract until the end of 2026, there are reports suggesting that Henry plans to explore his market value starting November 1, which could attract interest from several rival clubs.
This potential move comes as the Panthers have yet to present him with a contract extension to retain him beyond 2026.
Among the teams reportedly interested in Henry's services is the Perth Bears, who are looking to construct their roster from the ground up.
