It’s Newcastle v the Roosters in the NRL Grand Final — meaning two of the three Down the Sideline teams are still standing.
We unpack Newcastle’s incredible preliminary final win over Penrith, including the send-off controversy, the Knights’ resilience and what went wrong for the Panthers.
Then it’s Roosters v Dolphins: Mark Nawaqanitawase’s huge intercept, the momentum swing that changed the game and why the Roosters were ultimately too strong.
With the Grand Final set, Adrian and Tim go head-to-head on how Newcastle and the Roosters can win it, while Boldo gives the neutral view and his prediction.
And finally, we go back through the receipts from 2026 — the panel’s predictions from earlier in the season, who nailed the big calls, who got them horribly wrong and who did the most flip-flopping.
