Before tonight’s game, the Brisbane Broncos will try to three-peat in the NRLW grand final against the Roosters.

Enjoying grand final week
(AAP)
Grand final week is usually a strange, but by all accounts enjoyable, departure from the norm.
There are umpteen media events and trying to embrace the festivities while blocking out distractions is normally delicate balance, but this year has been a bit different.
With Penrith being in the final — and being there with such a young team, just like we were in 2003 — it brings back a lot of great memories.
I was in these kids’ shoes 17 years ago. I was only a young kid, I didn’t really understand the game.
I certainly didn’t know how hard it would be to get back into the grand final, but in time I realised just how much has to go right for you to get that chance.

It’s NRL grand final day!
(AAP)
At the end of a unique and wild NRL season it comes down to an unsurprising clash: 1 vs 2. Penrith vs Melbourne.
Coming into the finals, these were the consensus best teams (although I think everyone was a little bit wary counting out the Roosters) and that held firm throughout.
Now they meet in the grand final in a showdown between the form side of this year and probably the form side of the decade.
But before that, the two-time defending Brisbane Broncos take on the Sydney Roosters in the NRLW grand final. And we’ll bring you all that action as it comes in just over an hour’s time.
