The stage is set… After the Brisbane Broncos ended the Penrith Panthers streak (and arguably their dynasty) in the dying moments of an incredible Preliminary Finals match, as well as seeing the Finalist Specialists in the Melbourne Storm knock-off the Sharks to enter their 11th Grand Final under Craig Bellamy, we are in for an insane NRL Grand Final in 2025!.. The boys cover the prelims as well as give an extensive preview of the upcoming NRL GF and their predictions for who will win and the Clive Churchill medalist predictions… In ATGs: Leigh and St Helens progress to the Semis to face Wigan and Hull KR respectively with Saints winning after the hooter, the NRLW GF will see the 3rd edition of Roosters v Broncos, the NZ Warriors (NSW Cup Premiers) will face Burleigh Bears (QLD Cup Premiers) in the State Championship, and much more!
