The match is part of the Panthers’ regional engagement program, which aims to bring professional rugby league closer to communities outside major metropolitan centres. Mudgee has previously hosted major rugby league events and has developed a strong reputation as a regional sporting destination.
Ahead of the game, community activities have been organised to involve local families and young sports fans. A family fun day and junior rugby league activities are planned to encourage community participation and create a festival atmosphere around the event.
