Panthers halt Warriors` momentum with a thrilling 28-18 win, showcasing resilience amid injury challenges.

The Penrith Panthers delivered a decisive blow to the New Zealand Warriors` winning streak, clinching a 28-18 victory in Auckland. The match was marred by an injury crisis for the Warriors, notably after a tackle from Panthers` Scott Sorensen sidelined a key player, further complicating their efforts on the field.

Despite the setbacks, the Panthers showcased their resilience, with Daine Laurie charging through the defense for an impressive 178 metres and Moses Leota closely trailing with 176 metres. This victory marks their third consecutive win, setting the stage for a thrilling clash against the competition leaders, the Bulldogs, next week.

On the other side, Warriors` fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad emerged as a standout performer, racking up 215 metres from 23 runs and breaking through seven tackles. However, the Warriors remain in fourth place on the ladder, trailing behind the Storm, Raiders, and Bulldogs. Looking ahead, they will face the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

Other Round 16 NRL results included the Wests Tigers falling to the Raiders 12-16, the Dolphins losing to the Knights 20-26, and a nail-biting finish as the Rabbitohs succumbed to the Storm 24-25. In Sydney, the Roosters showcased their dominance, with James Tedesco`s remarkable try highlighting their 34-0 victory over the North Queensland Cowboys.
