flag The Wee Waa Panthers may be dropped from Group 4 rugby after a review due to poor performance and player shortages.

flag The Wee Waa Panthers face potential exclusion from the Group 4 rugby league competition after a review ahead of the 2026 season, prompted by a difficult 2025 campaign marked by multiple mercy-rule losses, forfeits, and the withdrawal of their under-18s team following the death of player Cooper Hilderson. flag Club president Ben Oakes cited ongoing player shortages due to seasonal work demands and emotional strain, while noting the women’s teams showed promise. flag Group 4 chairman Lad Jones said the review is based on criteria to ensure club viability, though he supports retaining local clubs. flag The Panthers must submit detailed information on finances, coaching, and recruitment, though Oakes questioned the necessity and expressed frustration over perceived bias from some league members. flag The outcome will determine the club’s future in the competition.
