Speedy winger Tom Jenkins could be headed back to Penrith as a replacement for Tigers-bound flyer Sunia Turuva.
Originally from the Riverina, Jenkins made his NRL debut for the Panthers in 2022 and looked the goods, scoring five tries in six appearances.
That earned him a two-year contract with the Knights last year but the move didn't work out and the 23-year-old managed just five games before being granted a release for 2025.

Jenkins has been linked to the Panthers and would be a handy replacement for Turuva, who won two grand finals with the club before accepting a rich deal to join the Tigers this year.
It is believed he is set to join Panthers junior club St Mary's and try to work his way back into the NRL via the Ron Massey Cup and NSW Cup.

A player with plenty of speed and evasive skills, Jenkins could find himself back among the tries if he gets a chance.
FARAH'S BID FOR SUPER LEAGUE CLUB FALLS
Former Tigers favourite Robbie Farah has revealed that he was in a group that was in negotiations to buy the London Broncos recently.
Along with former Tigers boss Lee Hagipantelis, businessman Jai Ayoub and others, Farah looked into the possibility of taking over the running of the British club.
"It all came about through (Broncos official) Tony Rea who I've known for years," Farah told Wide World of Sports.
"He floated the idea to us and we looked into it but it didn't quite stack up, even though the potential is there."

FORMER BULLDOGS PROP STRUGGLING TO FIND CLUB
Veteran prop Liam Knight hasn't had much luck getting a start in the NRL for the upcoming season – but there's plenty of interest in Super League.
At least two clubs have shown interest in the 29-year-old, who played just seven games at the Bulldogs over the past two seasons due to injury.
But Knight's troublesome knee has finally come good and he is training hard in the hopes of picking up a deal in the UK.
"There are clubs keen on him – they just can't fit Liam into their quotas at the moment," Knight's manager Chris Orr told Wide World of Sports.

"But you never know what could happen – one poor bloke gets hurt in the NRL trials and suddenly there is an opportunity.
"So we are keeping our options open."
SHARKS FEARS OVER NRLW FACILITIES ESCALATE
The growth of the women's game has been a shining light in rugby league in recent years – but there is still a long way to go.
Only last week, a Jillaroos camp designed to prepare the women for their Vegas game was cancelled at the last minute with no explanation.
And now the Sharks are so concerned about the poor facilities for their NRLW and visiting teams that they have taken the unprecedented step of launching a petition for help on their own website.

The move has the backing of Liberal MPs Simon Kennedy, the Federal Member for Cook, and Jenny Ware, the Federal Member for Hughes.
The Sharks are after funds to create new changing rooms, with the present ones described as "cramped and inadequate".
Visiting teams are often forced to prepare in temporary demountable structures or at a junior rugby league ground opposite Sharks Stadium.
A link to the petition can be found on the Sharks website.
