The mighty penrithpanthers.com.au have revealed that the Panthers culture is fueling James Fisher-Harris' bid for Pac Champs glory.
The Kiwi skipper is feeling the love from Penrith, as they have fully embraced his Māori heritage.
As he sets his sights on defending the Pacific Championships with the Kiwis, Fisher-Harris is grateful for the support he's received from his Panthers family.
Having just played his final game for the Panthers in the NRL grand final on Sunday, Fisher-Harris led the team to their fourth consecutive premiership.
The key to their success, he believes, lies in the club's openness to celebrating the diverse range of cultures within the team, allowing players to proudly represent their homelands on the international stage.
A whopping 11 Panthers will be taking part in the upcoming Pacific Championships, with Jarome Luai and Izack Tago gearing up to do Samoa proud on their tour of England.
It's clear that the Panthers are not just a team, but a tight-knit group of individuals who bring a wealth of talent and cultural richness to the field.
It's this unity and diversity that sets them apart and drives them to success time and time again.
