The adorable moment Penrith Panthers superstar's daughter steals the show in NRL Grand Final celebrations

Departing Penrith Panthers star James Fisher-Harris has delivered an emotional farewell to his supporters, but it was his daughter Tahira that stole the moment.

Fisher-Harris has played in four of the Panthers' premiership wins from 2021 to Sunday's grand final win over the Melbourne Storm.

He will now depart for the New Zealand Warriors after wanting to return to his home country for family reasons.

The towering prop is not well known for his speeches, but delivered a moving farewell to his Penrith supporters.

But Tahira managed to upstage her dad, with a cheeky moment that saw her blow confetti in his face while he was trying to be serious.

It didn't deter the Panthers forward, though, who said the moment of securing a fourth straight premiership was surreal.

'I can't really believe it to be honest. Even just the way the game panned out,' he said.

'Storm were really good tonight but I'm just reflecting a little bit now over the years with the brothers and it was just nice to just spend more time with the brothers in a game like that.

'To end on a good note like that, I'm still pinching my skin to be honest.'

It was difficult to put into words for Fisher-Harris who has established relationships at the Panthers that are more like family than friends.

'Everyone knows, like all the people in these four walls know there is nothing but love and I am so happy to be part of it to be honest,' he said.

'Yeah, this is my second family and, yeah, I'm at peace with everything, my decision and everything, but it's been one hell of a ride.

It has been a roller-coaster for me on and off the field. Personal reasons and injuries as well and just love this place and it's so hard to move away from it but it's something I've had to do.

'But, yeah, I'm going to celebrate with the boys one more time.'

Channel Nine personality Phil Gould was Penrith boss during its rebuild that included the recruitment of Fisher-Harris.

He spoke glowingly about his evolution and rise from a clumsy up-and-comer to a four-time NRL champion.

'He's a very special character, James Fisher- Harris,' Gould said.

'He came over extremely tough, he had two left feet and two left hands, he didn't know much about the game but he would train and he ran and he was tough.

'The story goes that when they were beaten in the 2020 Grand Final, he actually went and trained two days later and started training and virtually everyone followed him back into the gym.

'That's the story as I understand it, that he was single minded about overcoming that disappointment and winning a premiership.

'Now they've won four in a row but he's been an integral part in the development and also the mentorship of these younger fellows that came through.

'When he came to the club he was 17 years of age, now he is 27, 28 years of age and the leader of the club and that's what sets the DNA of the club.'
