Penrith Panthers head coach Ivan Cleary was reportedly left stunned just minutes ago after a bombshell NRL report surfaced, allegedly delivered by a former senior football executive.

Cleary, known for his calm and composed demeanor, was said to have paused mid-training session after being briefed on the details.
“This is not something we were prepared for today,” a club insider claimed. “It changes conversations moving forward.”
The report, which has not been officially released, is rumored to include bold claims about the Panthers’ premiership window and the sustainability of their recent dominance. Fans online reacted instantly, with social media lighting up as speculation spread across the league.
Cleary later addressed the media briefly, neither confirming nor denying the claims, but acknowledging the moment was “unexpected.”
“We’ll deal with it internally and keep our focus where it belongs — on footy,” Cleary said.
As the NRL world waits for further clarification, one thing is certain: this story is far from over.
