Melbourne have given themselves a shot at grand-final redemption, with the club's new big four booking a spot in the NRL decider with a 22-14 win over Cronulla.
Brisbane must find a way to collectively make up for the loss of suspended lock Pat Carrigan or risk being exposed by Penrith in the middle of the park in the grand-final qualifier.
Ahead of Friday and Sunday's preliminary finals, there are four potential grand final matchups, Darren Arthur considers which decider would be most attractive.
Josh Reynolds believes the two teams from outside the Top 4, the Sharks and Panthers, will win through to the grand final this weekend.
Peter V'landys says he wants Mark Nawaqanitawase to be picked for Australia in the Ashes, even with the Sydney Roosters sensation plotting a path back to rugby.
Melbourne are rolling the dice with Jahrome Hughes, naming the injured superstar halfback among three key inclusions as they gear up to host Cronulla in Friday night's NRL grand final qualifier.
