The 2024 season of the Harold Matthews Cup will see the expansion of the competition with the inclusion of teams from Melbourne Storm and New Zealand Warriors, bringing the total number of teams to 17. Each team will play eight games across nine rounds. This expansion signifies the growing interest and investment in junior rugby league, providing more opportunities for young players to showcase their skills at a competitive level.

Tthe Penrith Panthers are looking to build on their strong performance from the previous year. In 2023, they finished the regular season emphatically with a 52-6 win over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, claiming the Minor Premiership. However, their journey ended in the semi-finals where the Bulldogs turned the tables. This outcome is likely to serve as a motivation for the Panthers' squad in the 2024 season. Players like Jhett Sydir and Nathaniel Tolu, who were part of the previous year's team, are expected to contribute significantly to the team's performance.

The Penrith Panthers' commitment to nurturing young talent is evident in their comprehensive approach to junior development, fielding teams across various competitions and age groups. This holistic development strategy not only strengthens their future senior teams but also contributes to the overall growth of rugby league as a sport.
