The Penrith Panthers have made significant moves in the transfer market, confirming the signings of two exciting new players ahead of the 2024 NRL season. The club has secured deals for **fullback Jake Granville** and **prop-forward Isaac Liu**, two experienced and talented players who will add depth and versatility to the Panthers’ already star-studded roster.
**Jake Granville**, a proven performer in the NRL, joins Penrith after a successful stint with the North Queensland Cowboys, where he played an important role in their strong defensive setup and attacking schemes. Granville’s signing bolsters the Panthers’ backline, offering experience and leadership, particularly in the fullback and utility roles. Known for his speed and agility, Granville has the ability to spark attacking plays and is sure to provide valuable support to the team’s key playmakers, including Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai.
Meanwhile, **Isaac Liu**, a hard-working forward with over 150 NRL games under his belt, arrives from the Sydney Roosters. Liu is known for his tough, no-nonsense style of play and will add an extra layer of physicality and experience to the Panthers’ forward pack. His leadership and versatility, able to play both in the middle and on the edge, make him a valuable asset to coach Ivan Cleary’s squad as they look to defend their NRL title.
Penrith’s CEO, Brian Fletcher, expressed his enthusiasm about the new additions, saying, “Jake and Isaac bring a wealth of experience and quality to our team. We’re excited to welcome them into the Panthers family. Their leadership and professionalism will complement our current squad, and we’re confident they’ll contribute to our continued success.”
The signings of Granville and Liu strengthen Penrith’s ambitions for 2024, providing vital depth as they look to continue their dominance in the NRL.
