Harry Grant produced a moment of brilliance to seal Melbourne Storm’s 18-22 golden point victory over Penrith, snapping the Panthers’ nine-game winning streak in a dramatic grand final rematch.
With defenders anticipating a field goal, the Storm skipper darted from dummy-half to score under the posts, capping a see-saw contest featuring standout performances from Xavier Coates, who bagged two tries, set up another, and ran 212 metres.
The Panthers dominated early with a perfect first-half completion rate, but the Storm’s resilience and aerial dominance turned the tide before Grant’s decisive play.
