“The Panthers are extremely proud to be number one ranked in this year's RLPA survey (2025), ” Panthers CEO Matt Cameron said as reported by The Australian.
“Our position within the league is a direct reflection of Ivan Cleary's attitude toward player development off the field, and the relentless work of our wellbeing and education staff.”
The Eels did not make the top four for men in 2024, but have surged to number two in 2025 under Ryles and reflects an improving alignment in management, culture and environment.

Strange how they're rated number 2 but can't seem to attract players
Not really. TPA's are our biggest achilles heel. The whole system needs to be looked at, including how they tie in with a salary cap. I'd argue that a floating salary cap needs to be adopted, so that clubs who don't rort the TPA system can spend more under the salary cap. Basically having a 'total amount spend', combining the salary cap plus TPA's.
I'm guessing this is why they're all breaking down the door to sign with us?
