GRAND FINAL TIPS

BIG LEAGUE Grand Final TOP TIPS

FREQUENT FLYERS • The grand final has always been the holy grail of rugby league, so much so that some players were willing to fly halfway around the world just for the chance to take part in the biggest game of the year.

GRAND FINAL ENGLISHMEN

The pursuit of success

Half’n’half • One is a rapidly-rising star, the other a departing legend, but together Luke Keary and Cooper Cronk are striving to finish their next chapters on the highest note possible.

Flying high • The Roosters are ignoring the historic feat they could achieve, but there’s still plenty motivating them in pursuit of grand final glory.

ROAD TO GLORY

Man in the Machine • Few people understand what it truly means to bleed green more than the club legend-turned-coach who has worked tirelessly to bring glory back to the nation’s capital.

A real people person • He’s become a cult icon in the capital, but one of 2019’s best buys didn’t even think he’d play first grade this year, let alone make the grand final.

ROAD TO GLORY

JAMES TEDESCO

JOSH PAPALII • Canberra Raiders

Sydney Roosters

SYDNEY ROOSTERS

NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final 2019

CANBERRA RAIDERS

Canberra Raiders

Fairytale takes on history in epic decider

Rare loss offers hope against benchmark • The Broncos have clearly been the benchmark of the NRLW in its first two seasons, but a stunning upset in the final week of the season should give the Red V a glimmer of hope.

Holden Women’s Premiership Grand Final 2019

Brisbane Broncos

BRISBANE

St George Illawarra Dragons

ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA

AMBE PILLEY • Brisbane Broncos

Back to the top • The Roosters aren’t the only team trying to go back-to-back, and the Broncos are just as hungry for a piece of history.

JESSIC SERGIS • St George Illawarra Dragons

Raising the bar • The Roosters gave them a scare, but it might have been the perfect wake-up call for the Red V as they prepare for a winner-takes-all showdown.

Unlikely participants set up appetising clash • With the minor premiers falling by the wayside, the 2019 State Championship is hard to predict.

NEWTOWN JETS V BURLEIGH BEARS

Newtown Jets

WILL KENNEDY • Newtown Jets

Burleigh Bears

JAMAL FOGARTY • Burleigh Bears

Defensive mettle keeps Green Machine rolling

Scrappy tussle paves way for back-to-back glory

And the winners are… • The NRL season has just about wrapped up, but awards season in now in full swing. Check out the winners from the club presentation nights so far.

A WIN FOR THE AGES ’89 • Against a highly-fancied opponent and with a uniquely-built team, the 1989 Raiders offer plenty of inspiration for the Green Machine three decades later.

STORMING TO SUCCESS ’99 • Most clubs take years to build enough momentum for a premiership tilt, but one team built on expertise...
