## Resource

4-time premiership coach Ivan Cleary has announced that he will be finishing up at the Panthers at the end of the 2027 season. That's not a typo, he's given his resignation 18-months in advance. Penrith are in ominous form so far in season 2026 and their want to send their champion coach out at the very top could motivate them further. What can Cleary and his team achieve over the next two seasons, and what might his departure mean for both parties when he finishes up?
