Manly Sea Eagles progressed through to the NRL Grand Final after seeing off North Queensland Cowboys and Brisbane Broncos, while the New Zealand Warriors overcame a 40-10 defeat at the hands of the Broncos to defeat West Tigers and Melbourne Storm to make the NRL Grand Final.
The match will be watched by over 80,000 spectators at ANZ Stadium and more than 2 million on television on the broadcaster of the NRL Grand Final, Channel Nine.
Manly will start a warm favourite in the NRL Grand Final at $1.50, with the Warriors clear outsiders at $2.50 despite their momentum.

Most of the time when rugby league experts try to guess each team’s ladder position at the beginning of the year they end up looking like amateurs. Given my amateur footy status I am happy to have a crack. I have tried to hide my bias in regards my club and the clubs I hate [...]

With the NRL draw released last week it got the taste buds tingling for the greatest game of all – right at the height of summer when distractions of pools, barbecues and cricket are oh-so tempting.

It’s been a long couple of seasons for the Sea Eagles, with plenty of drama and off-field issues. But today they find themselves on top of the rugby league world as the 2011 NRL premiers. The Warriors can hold their heads high. They didn’t play their best game, and they were certainly on the wrong [...]

So, the war is over. Glenn and Brett Stewart, both very publicly, decided to bury the hatchet with NRL chief executive David Gallop in the moments after last night’s NRL Grand Final. When Glenn Stewart took to the stage to have the Clive Churchill medal placed around his neck he made his way along a long [...]

The Manly Sea Eagles have won the NRL Grand Final in 2011, beating the New Zealand Warriors 24-10 in a tight tussle, with Manly up 12-2 at half-time. The Warriors scored twice in the second-half to close the gap but their ambitious play resulted in too many errors as they struggled to exert consistent pressure. [...]
