Reagan Campbell-Gillard is the latest player rumoured to be wanting out of the disaster that is unfolding at Penrith.

Gus Gould will deny it as only he can - but Campbell-Gillard isn’t comfortable with the toxic atmosphere at the club and is considering his options for 2019.

The Panthers aren’t a happy club - players don’t rate coach Anthony Griffin and Gould’s interference in the running of the team is only adding to the tension.

Star players Matt Moylan, Bryce Cartwright, Peta Hiku and Leilani Latu have already left, with Josh Mansour and Tyrone Peachey set to follow next season.

Now the Panthers face the prospect of losing Campbell-Gillard, who came of age last season, winning selection for the Kangaroos.

Penrith can put all the talk of drama on the back-burner with a first-up win over Parramatta in the big western local derby this weekend - but I just can’t see that happening.
