Panthers coach Ivan Cleary feels the State of Origin scheduling is robbing New Zealand fans of the chance to see some of the NRL's finest talent

The four-time premiership winners face the Warriors in Auckland tomorrow for the first time since 2019.

The Panthers will be missing New South Wales players Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo , Liam Martin, Brian To'o and Dylan Edwards, while the Warriors are without Kurt Capewell.

Cleary says due to flights, the decision of whether to play them was taken out of their hands.
