Fiji Bati fullback Sunia Turuva concluded his time with the Panthers in impressive fashion, scoring a try as the reigning champions defeated the Storm 14-6 to secure their fourth consecutive NRL title. Turuva, who is set to join the Wests Tigers next season, made an early impact in the final, scoring the first try after Harry Grant initially put the Storm ahead. Liam Martin then capitalized on a clever pass from Nathan Cleary, diving over the line to give the Panthers a 10-6 lead at halftime. In the second half, Penrith centre Paul Alamoti added an unconverted try, leaving over 80,000 fans on the edge of their seats.
