Instead, he is reportedly being considered for a new senior position within the club&#8217;s football department.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed return would represent a special reunion between the former coach and the organisation where he previously played an important leadership role.<\/p>\n<p>A NEW CHAPTER FOR ANTHONY GRIFFIN<\/p>\n<p>During his previous spell at Penrith, Griffin worked with several talented players and contributed to the club&#8217;s development.<\/p>\n<p>His experience in rugby league could make a senior position an interesting opportunity, particularly as the Panthers continue planning for their future.<\/p>\n<p>FANS REACT TO THE POSSIBILITY<\/p>\n<p>The possibility of Griffin returning has created an exciting talking point for Panthers supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Some fans would welcome the opportunity to see a familiar face back around the club, while others would be interested to discover what responsibilities he could take on.<\/p>\n<p>IVAN CLEARY&#8217;S ROLE<\/p>\n<p>Ivan Cleary remains Penrith&#8217;s head coach. The club has announced that Peter Wallace is scheduled to succeed him in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>However, the suggested Anthony Griffin appointment has not been officially confirmed by Penrith
