Arch rivals Wests Tigers and Penrith are close to making a player swap with two promising youngsters for next season.
Relations between the clubs have been frosty since Ivan Cleary moved from the Tigers to the Panthers but a deal looks set to be done in coming days that will suit both clubs.
The Tigers have already signed talented Panthers fullback Daine Laurie for 2022 but under the proposed switch, he would make the move immediately.
In exchange, the Tigers would give the Panthers 20-year-old centre Zac Cini.
Cini has yet to play NRL but is in the Tigers' Development squad.
A former Australian Schoolboy, he has been training with the Tigers' full-time squad since mid-season.
Player swaps are always difficult to pull off but both clubs are keen to see the deal happen.
