Moses Leota's future at the Penrith Panthers is set to become one of the biggest contract storylines of the NRL off-season, with the veteran prop expected to hit the open market on November 1. Despite the overwhelming interest, Leota's preference remains to finish his career at Penrith, where he has been a cornerstone of the club's golden era since making his debut in 2016. However, the Panthers' retention priorities mean his future remains uncertain. With captain Isaah Yeo and superstar halfback Nathan Cleary ahead of him in the club's retention plans, Leota's long-term future will depend on what Penrith can offer once negotiations begin. "If the Panthers offer him the right deal, then he will probably stay where he is."
