Vote for your Round 25 Hertz Man of the Match
Vote for your best on ground against the Storm for the chance to win a signed Panthers football.
The Panthers bounced back from consecutive losses with an important 22-14 victory over Melbourne at AAMI Park, overcoming a determined second-half fightback to secure the two points.
Brian To’o was the star with a first-half hat-trick, including a 60-metre intercept try, as Penrith raced to a 22-0 lead at the break. The Storm threatened a remarkable comeback after scoring twice in the opening 21 minutes of the second half, but Penrith’s cover defence held firm to preserve the win.
To’o’s hat-trick, which included his 100th career try, proved decisive, while Liam Henry also crossed in the first half.
The Panthers’ dominant opening 40 minutes gave them enough breathing room to withstand sustained Storm pressure and close out an important victory.
