After a rollercoaster season due to injury, Panthers favourite Liam Martin is feeling healthy and ready to rip in ahead of the 2026 NRL Finals. Martin was brilliant at Suncorp – playing the full 80 minutes and tormenting those pesky Queenslanders the only way he knows how. Origin was a real confidence booster, I’m really happy with it,” he said. This Saturday evening Martin and the Panthers will return to Glen Willow Oval in Mudgee for a blockbuster match against the Canberra Raiders. As to whether he’d like to remain in Penrith beyond 2027, Martin said he’d love nothing more than to stay put.
