Liam Martin uncertain about future with Penrith Panthers

Liam Martin expressed his desire to re-sign with the Penrith Panthers amid ongoing contract negotiations. The second-rower is seeking a deal that could approach one million dollars per year as the November 1 deadline approaches. Although he is in discussions with the club, Penrith's tight salary cap complicates matters, especially with key players like Isaah Yeo already re-signed. Speaking from the Australian World Cup camp, Martin acknowledged the need for progress but remains uncertain about the outcome. He will be eligible for the open market on November 1 if a new deal is not completed by then.
