Craig Bellamy says his Melbourne side lacked punch through the middle without forward leader Nelson Asofa Solomona in the Storm's heartbreaking NRL grand final defeat to the Panthers. Penrith completed an incredible four-peat of NRL premierships on Sunday night with a 14-6 victory over Melbourne in the decider.

The Penrith premiership dynasty was born in 2020 after their young squad lost the grand final to the battle-hardened Storm.

The game was overshadowed by several controversial moments, with Cameron Munster being placed on report after he was alleged to have bitten Paul Alamoti on the arm during a tackle.

Craig Bellamy and the Melbourne Storm were hoisting the NRL Premiership at Accor Stadium after defeating the Penrith Panthers. They faced off against Penrith once again in the big dance last night, but this time a now battle hardened Panthers put the Storm into submission and won an incredible fourth straight premiership in a row.
