Game Introduction

Greetings for the NRLW grand final! This competition has developed substantially and advanced annually, starting with only four squads back in 2018 to a considerably larger 12 teams. Remarkably, the championship match includes the Roosters and Broncos in the grand final, exactly like back in 2018.

Both teams have been outstanding this season – Sydney remains undefeated in 2025 and Brisbane has dropped just one match. Both sides display star players across the park and both are perfectly capable of claiming victory on their day.

The last matchup between them occurred in the third round – during July – when the Roosters secured a close win by just four points. In that game, the Roosters started strongly, established a substantial interval advantage, before the Broncos staged a late game rally. Olivia Kernick scored a crucial late try to secure the victory for the title holders in an entertaining encounter. If both teams duplicate that effort from that previous meeting, fans can expect a magnificent game today.

Given the anticipation coming up, the action commences!
