The last preliminary final spot gets decided tonight when the Penrith Panthers take on the Parramatta Eels at BB Print Stadium in Mackay. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:50pm (AEST).
This is the fifth article in a series naming each club’s best team of loyal stalwarts. Not necessarily just the one-club players, but those who turned out for the club over a long period and helped build its success and culture.
Melbourne’s pack intend to make life hell for Penrith Panthers star Nathan Cleary in their upcoming preliminary final, but they say it’s nothing personal – just what they do to kickers.
Grab the popcorn… Penrith versus Parramatta delivers a local derby with storylines galore including some misfiring players and two coaches under the pump.
The Manly Sea Eagles stay alive in 2021, taking care of a brave yet overmatched Sydney Roosters side. The Sea Eagles now move on to a preliminary final against South Sydney. Here are the talking points from a week two finals beatdown.
I don’t know about you but I’m pleased to see the rugby league grand final going back to Brisbane after 24 years.
If you look at Friday night’s game between Manly and the Roosters, your eyes instantly go to the number ones’ battle between Tom Trbojevic and James Tedesco.
If our goal is for the NRL to be run properly, effectively, evenly and fairly then Craig Bellamy should be the next CEO of the NRL.
The first week of finals brought us three excellent encounters and a blowout, and this weekend’s semi-finals could bring us more closely run action. This is The Roar’s NRL expert tipping panel for Week 2 of the finals.
And then there were six. With the Titans and Knights left pondering what could have been, four sides head into the do-or-die semi-finals weekend with a spot in the prelims on the line. The two beaten sides will have only Mad Monday to look forward to.
It is no secret that the Wests Tigers have performed well below standard over the last few years, and with only 26 wins from 68 matches since the start of the 2019 season, there is increasing pressure on one man: the Wests Tigers head coach, Michael Maguire.
After a tight edge-of-your-seat thriller, the Newcastle Knights in consecutive years are eliminated in the opening week of the finals.
It will be the same rugby league conversation right up the east coast this week.
Eels centre Waqa Blake couldn’t have asked for a better bounce.
While he engaged in a vocal exchange via the media with Wayne Bennett in Penrith’s last finals match, coach Ivan Cleary has kept his response short and sweet this time around.
The Sydney club not only lost their final against Manly 42-6, but also what Robinson termed as “possibly the greatest ever Rooster” in Craig Fitzgibbon, as well as rugby league legend Josh Morris. However, Robbo didn’t let that disappointment overshadow the season.
The Sea Eagles coach discovered a quick way to wrap up a presser is to weird out all the journos.
The Roosters 2021 season came to an end after a 42-6 loss to Manly in Mackay. It was the final game for centre Josh Morris, who brought his 14-year NRL career to a close, after 325 games and 158 tries – sadly without a premiership to his name.
Even the usually unflappable Ray Warren was left in stitches!
