So we have two games this weekend! 1) Dolphins vs Rorters and 2) Knights vs Penrith Cheetahs! Who wins to book a place on the Grand Final? I'll go for Dolphins and Knights!
That would be the best Grand Final in my opinion! My reason is 1) Dolphins have never won and they're the newest team in the NRL and them winning would be encouraging for the Perth Bears coming into the NRL next year!
2) The Knights haven't won for awhile and they're also out of the top 4 and no team in the current NRL system has won a Premiership outside of the top 4. 3) The Dolphins have also been beaten by 50 points and no team has won a premiership that's been beaten by 50 !
The other two sides! Tired of the Penrith Cheetahs and the Rorters!

I hate to say it because it reinforces the fact that the salary cap isn't working, but the Roosters and the Panthers are the top 2 teams this year and are deserving of a GF.
I think the Panthers will win it as long as Cleary is fit.
The Dolphins will find it hard against both these sides, and the Knights aren't close to either the Panthers or the Roosters.
A win for the NRL would definitely be Knights or best case scenario the Dolphins as it proves that new franchises can still work and be successful.
My money is on the Panthers beating the Roosters in the GF.
Only way to beat Penrith is to attack their edge and isolate T'OO in the air. Knights can win but they will need to be attacking all day. If Panthers geto 12-0 at half time, they will choke the game away from the knights. In tonights game, Dolphins have the best backs in teh comp and a good forward pack. They have to play their game too and risk the pass here and there. Otherwise Roosters will close it down and come through the middle. Go Phins.
