At a key meeting with Panthers powerbrokers on Monday, Stephen Crichton told the club he will move on at season's end.

I know my friendships at Panthers won’t finish here but will last forever.” Crichton described the call on his future as “the hardest decision to make,” in a club statement. In a statement confirming Crichton’s decision, Penrith pointed to “a substantial offer in May 2022 for Stephen to remain at the Panthers.” “He’s got a decision to make over the next few weeks and ideally things will be sorted well before the season,” Ayoub told the Herald on Monday evening.
