Fiji Bati wing Sunia Turuva will put on the Panthers jersey for the last time in tonight's NRL Grand Final when they take on the Melbourne Storm.

Turuva played in his first grand final last year when they defeated the Broncos 26-24.

The 22-year-old will be looking for his second grand final ring before joining the Wests Tigers next season with teammate Jarome Luai.

Turuva joined the Panthers in 2022 and was taken under the wings of Brian To’o, and the pair became so close that he was a member of the star winger’s bridal party.

Turuva has been named on the starting lineup for Penrith in tonight's decider.

Other prominent players include Dylan Edwards, Jarome Luai, Nathan Cleary, Moses Leota, James Fisher-Harris and Isaah Yeo.

The Panthers will take on the Storm at 8.30 tonight in Sydney.
