Storm vs Panthers Tips | NRL 2024 Grand Final Preview & Predictions

Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers NRL Grand Final betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Sund’s game at Accor Stadium.

The Storm are leaving the safety of Melbourne to take on the Panthers at Accor Stadium on Sunday. This is set to be an epic Grand Final with both sides in red hot form.

The Storm are coming off a demolition job on the Roosters and have been nearly perfect this season, cruising to the minor premiership. However, standing in their way are the Panthers, who’ve won three Grand Finals in a row!

Prediction: Storm to Win

Betting against the Storm this season has been a losing strategy. They only lost five games in the regular season and have looked unbeatable during the finals, destroying the Sharks and humiliating the Roosters.

The Storm also have a perfect record against the Panthers, winning both of their games. Despite the Panthers having an iron-clad defence, ultimately, the Storm are the better side, and even heroics from Nathan Cleary won’t be enough to reel in Craig Bellamy’s side.

Winning Margin: Storm 1-12 Points

The last two times the Panthers and the Storm have met, it has been razor close. In Round 24, the Storm eked out a 24-22 win, and back in Round 1, they kept the Panthers scoreless, winning 8-0. We expect another very hotly contested game with multiple lead changes. Look for the Panthers to fade in the last 20 minutes and the Storm to score a late try to secure the Grand Final.
