Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has confirmed a six-man leadership group will guide the Panthers NRL squad in 2019. The leadership group consists of James Maloney, James Tamou, Isaah Yeo, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Josh Mansour and Nathan Cleary. “We’ve taken our time to decide on this leadership model and this specific group of players to ensure we deliver what is best for the Panthers this season,” Ivan Cleary said. “This model provides our team with strong leadership through cooperation, which is absolutely vital to success in a team environment. “The leadership group is intentionally balanced with a mix of positions, age, experience and personal qualities, while also providing an opportunity for future captains of this club to emerge.”
