Fiji Bati fullback Sunia Turuva concluded his time with the Panthers in an impressive fashion last night by scoring a try that contributed to the reigning champions’ victory over the Storm, securing a 14-6 win and their fourth consecutive NRL title.
Turuva, who is set to join the Wests Tigers next season, made a significant impact by scoring the first try in the final after the Storm initially took the lead with a score from Harry Grant.
Liam Martin then capitalized on a clever pass from Nathan Cleary, crossing the try line to give the Panthers a 10-6 advantage at halftime.
In the second half, Penrith centre Paul Alamoti added the only points with an unconverted try, keeping more than 80,000 fans on the edge of their seats throughout the match.
