Here's the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Mitch Kenny, the Penrith Panthers hooker, faced injury concerns during the 2025 NRL finals but was listed as a potential return depending on his hamstring recovery. Some outlets reported he missed an elimination final with a hamstring issue and was considered a week-to-week proposition .
- Other coverage noted Kenny was ruled out of a finals clash, with Luke Sommerton named at No. 9 for that game, while Kenny’s status remained a major talking point for Penrith’s premiership bid .
- There were earlier references to a 2024 breach notice history and ongoing involvement with the Panthers, but those items are older and relate to other off-field matters rather than current season health or selection news .
If you’d like, I can search for the very latest updates from current outlets (e.g., NRL.com, major Australian sports sites) and pull a succinct update with timestamps and any official club statements.
