Mitchell Moses` media controversy coincides with the Raiders` thrilling win over the Panthers and NSW`s State of Origin triumph.

Mitchell Moses ignited a media frenzy during his recent appearance on Channel 9`s "100% Footy," where he and his manager, Isaac Moses, controversially called for the removal of journalist Michael Chammas from the panel. This bold move has drawn significant backlash, stirring discussions about media ethics and athlete-journalist relations.

On the field, the Canberra Raiders clinched a hard-fought 22-16 victory over the Penrith Panthers, showcasing the raw talent of their young stars. Ethan Sanders, who orchestrated the opening try, shone brightly, hinting at a promising future for the Raiders. The match was not without its drama; a melee erupted, sparked by Canberra`s Albert Hopoate, adding to the already charged atmosphere.

The Panthers, grappling with the absence of key players like Nathan Cleary, struggled to find their footing, while the Raiders capitalized on their youthful exuberance and aggressive play. In State of Origin news, New South Wales triumphed over Queensland 18-6, with both Nathan Cleary and Mitchell Moses playing crucial roles. This victory raises questions about the future of Maroons captain Daly Cherry-Evans, whose performance left much to be desired. The series opener showcased NSW`s dominance, setting the stage for an electrifying continuation of this fierce rivalry. For more on NRL news and NRL results, stay tuned.
