The 18th Man – Footy’s heartbeat, heading into the greatest game of the year.
Last week delivered two finals for the ages:
Melbourne Storm 22 def. Cronulla Sharks 14 — a brilliant composure display from the Storm, riding big performances from Munster and a gritty return from Jahrome Hughes.
Brisbane Broncos 16 beat Penrith Panthers 14 — after trailing 14–0 at half time, Brisbane roared back. A clutch conversion from Reynolds sealed it, ending Penrith’s run and booking their place in the decider.
