Rugby league journalist Brad Walter joins Brendan Telfer on It's Only Sport recapping round 22 of the 2024 NRL season, that proved pivotal in the race for top eight spots ahead of the finals series. The Warriors and Brisbane Broncos - top four sides from a season ago - are all but out of the top eight race, after losses to teams ranked lower than them on the ladder (at the time of playing). Other key results include the Dragons upsetting the Storm 18-16 in Melbourne and the Bulldogs edging the Canberra Raiders 22-18 at home.
