The Penrith Panthers have extended the contract of head coach Anthony Griffin until the end of 2020 it was announced last night at the club's end of season awards.
"He's had a wonderful start to his term here at Panthers," Panthers general manager Phil Gould told the crowd.
"His first two years at the club we've qualified for the finals. It's the first time we've been back-to-back finals for something like 15 years, and only for the third time in the club's history.
"He becomes only the second coach to do it in his first two years of coaching the Panthers.
"So much so that he's been rewarded with an extension of his contract until the year 2020, he brings a lot of great qualities to our club."
