Episode Summary:
With the NRL finals almost here, Ian and Steve ask the big question; has the premiership race already narrowed to just two teams?
The Warriors and Panthers have been the standout sides across the season, and both enter September with massive advantages. Penrith are getting key players back at exactly the right time, while the Warriors could potentially stay in New Zealand all the way through to Grand Final day. The boys discuss whether anything other than a major injury can stop one of these two teams from lifting the trophy.
There’s still plenty of intrigue behind them. The Dolphins have already produced a hugely successful season and look capable of making a serious finals run, while the Roosters face a major test without Sam Walker. Daly Cherry-Evans now has the opportunity to take control of the team and put an exclamation mark on the back end of his career. South Sydney also loom as the wildcard, with Latrell Mitchell returning and a largely experienced squad that could cause real problems if they hit form at the right time.
The boys also look at which teams are resting players in the final round, whether finishing first or second actually matters, which opponent nobody wants in week one, and what success should look like for the Panthers, Warriors and Dolphins once the finals begin. Plus, the latest predictions for the weekend and another stack of comments from Warriors fans who continue to dominate the Sport Is Life community.
