🖤💛 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PANTHERS! 💛🖤
A huge congratulations to two of our very own recognised at the 2026 VRL Awards! 🏆🐾
🌟 GANICUS ROPIHA
U13s Division 2 – Player of the Year 2026
What an incredible achievement in your first year of competition footy! Your hard work, determination and commitment both on and off the field have been outstanding all season.
Although our U13s fell just short of progressing to the semi-finals, you continued to give everything for your team and club. We are incredibly proud of you, Ganicus. This is only the beginning — destined for greatness! 🖤💛
🏆 ISRAEL “IZZY” MOEROA
U18s Boys Division 2 – Player of the Year 2026
🌟 Young Person of the Year Nominee
Taking home two medals on the night, Izzy continues to show what it means to be a Panther.
It has been an honour watching you captain and lead your U18s team this season. Your contribution goes beyond playing, having also spent the past few years coaching and giving back to our younger Panthers.
From joining the club at just 6 years old, to becoming a captain, coach and young leader, it has been incredibly special watching you grow. Your achievements speak volumes about your character, commitment and love for your club, and we hope your journey inspires our future Panther generations.
Congratulations Ganicus & Izzy! Your Waverley Panthers family is incredibly proud of you both. 🏆🖤💛🐾
Once a Panther, always a Panther.
