Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm face off in NRL clash

The Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm met at AAMI Park in an NRL matchup. During the early stages of the game, Brian To’o scored his 100th NRL try following a play involving Lindsay Smith and Nathan Cleary.

In coaching news, Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters is set to depart his role following this year’s World Cup to become the head coach of St Helens in England, reportedly on a deal exceeding $600,000 annually. This vacancy has positioned Ivan Cleary, the current Penrith Panthers mentor, as a leading contender to succeed Walters. Other potential candidates for the national side include Billy Slater, Laurie Daley, and Cameron Smith.
