After four-straight premierships and five-straight grand finals, the Penrith Panthers’ dynasty has come to an end following a 16-14 loss to the Brisbane Broncos — who will now face the Storm in the decider next week.

The Panthers looked like they were going to run away with it after a near-flawless first half in which Paul Alamoti and Nathan Cleary starred.

Alamoti was the Panthers’ grand final hero last year, scored a hat-trick in last week’s semi-final and once again stood up for his side.

But some silly errors late in the game opened the door for the Broncos to pounce and ultimately the Panthers couldn’t hold on. Preliminary Final NRL Sep 26 7:50pm AEST FT Storm 22 Sharks 14 MATCH CENTRE *Odds are current as of 28th September 2025, 7:15pm AEST VIEW ALL SCORES
