Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 3695783, member: 8272"] A tour of Penrith’s training facilities during the club’s finals campaign last year has helped the Panthers poach Brisbane young gun Harry Armstrong in a blow to [URL='https://www.codesports.com.au/nrl/nrl-2025-broncos-star-payne-haas-set-for-surgery-after-suffering-ankle-injury-at-training/news-story/b225bd6c05b66adfd6436ce01cb0f7ab']Michael Maguire’s Broncos[/URL]. In a huge pre-season signing coup, the Panthers have snared one of rugby league’s best forward prospects on a three-year deal, effective immediately, bolstering coach Ivan Cleary’s forward stocks ahead of the 2025 season. Armstrong, 20, had been part of Brisbane’s emerging squad and a rising star of the Red Hill club’s pathways system, where he was viewed as a future leader of the Broncos’ engine room. It’s understood the Broncos were eager to retain the Queensland under-19s star but a visit to Penrith’s centre of excellence during the side’s finals campaign late last year helped seal the deal for the four-time title winners. Armstrong was given a tour of the club’s training facilities at the foot of the mountains and the opportunity to observe coach Cleary’s squad train during an on-field session in Penrith, where the club’s culture and coaching set-up left a huge impression on the youngster. Armstrong, who joined the Broncos as a 17-year-old, is a hard hitting back rower, standing at 190cm and tipping the scales at 94kg.
