🏉 Finals Week 1 Matchups & Storylines:

⚡ Storm vs Bulldogs – 1st Qualifying Final
Melbourne got ambushed by the Broncos last week… and now they face the giant-killing Dogs. AAMI Park is a fortress, but can Ciraldo’s crew shock the comp again?

The defending champs in sudden death? Wahs have home ground, but Penrith are loaded. This is the most dangerous elimination final in years.

🦈 Sharks vs Roosters – 2nd Elimination Final
The Chooks are the hottest team in the comp — but Cronulla at home are no easy beat. Nicho vs Walker. Hynes vs history. One goes home.

🟢 Raiders vs Broncos – 2nd Qualifying Final
Canberra finished top. Brisbane finished strong. Both teams believe they can win the comp — and this could be the Grand Final preview in disguise.

🚫 Out: Rabbitohs, Eels, Knights, Dragons, Titans, Tigers, Sea Eagles, Cowboys
