Fiji Bati fullback Sunia Turuva concluded his time with the Panthers on a high note, scoring a try and assisting the reigning champions in defeating the Storm 14-6 to secure their fourth consecutive NRL title. Turuva, who is set to join the Wests Tigers next season, opened the scoring for the Panthers after the Storm initially took the lead with a try from Harry Grant. Liam Martin then executed a clever pass from Nathan Cleary, diving across 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 the crowd of over 80,000 on the edge of their seats.
