Brisbane Broncos End Penrith Panthers Dynasty Win 2025 NRL Final

The Brisbane Broncos ended the Penrith Panthers' dominance by staging a strong second-half comeback to win and advance to the 2025 NRL Grand Final against the Melbourne Storm, with Adam Reynolds delivering the decisive kick. Meanwhile, the Broncos' women's team secured their first NRLW grand final appearance since 2020 by defeating Newcastle 30-6, setting up a highly anticipated rematch with the Sydney Roosters. Despite struggling with completion rates and playing under hot conditions, Brisbane's defense remained formidable, being the only team in NRLW history to concede six points or fewer in four consecutive games. Key players like Gayle Broughton and Tamika Upton contributed significantly during the preliminary final, and Brisbane aims to reclaim the NRLW premiership against the defending champion Roosters. The Broncos' return to both men's and women's grand finals highlights their resurgence in rugby league after several years without titles. However, the NRLW final will see the Roosters attempt to complete a perfect season, intensifying the stakes for Brisbane's women's side.
