Tylor Bunting speaks on return to Penrith, learning off Nathan Cleary
For more than a decade, the Penrith Panthers have created and developed some of the best rugby league playmakers through their famed pathways system.
While four-time premiers Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai are the most well-known to come through the club’s pathways and make a name for themselves, other playmakers who began their careers at the foot of the mountains include the likes of Isaiya Katoa, Matt Burton and Sean O’Sullivan.
Meanwhile, several others, such as Keagan Russell-Smith, Luke Hanson, Jett Cleary, and Riley Pollard, are beginning to make a name for themselves in the lower grades but have left the club in the hope of seeking other opportunities elsewhere.
Although the Panthers have lost some of the best young playmakers over the past few years, they have successfully brought Tylor Bunting back to the club, who they have since named skipper of their Jersey Flegg Cup side.
In an exclusive interview with Zero Tackle, Bunting has opened up on his decision to return to the club from the Manly Sea Eagles, learning off Nathan Cleary and being named skipper of the Penrith Under-21s side.
“I was at Manly last year, but I was at Penrith when I was in Harold Matts, so it’s good to be back,” Bunting told Zero Tackle.
