The Newcastle Knights have completed one of the most remarkable turnarounds in NRL history, stunning minor premiers Penrith. Three things we learned.
Newcastle are through to their first grand final in 25 years after holding on to beat Penrith 22-14 with 12 men, after Panther superstar Nathan Cleary sufffered an ankle fracture in a hip-drop tackle.
Panthers star playmaker Nathan Cleary has been medicabbed from the pitch with a compound fracture just minutes after making his first appearance from the bench.
Defending premiers Brisbane are through to another NRLW grand final showdown with Sydney Roosters after ending the dream run of the Gold Coast in the preliminary final.
Sam Walker has revealed the details of the 24/7 recovery operation that got him back in record time from injury to fire Sydney Roosters into the grand final.
Tyson Frizell is the only member of the NRL's 300-game club not to play in a grand-final qualifier. The Newcastle veteran doesn't plan to waste this one.
