Roosters v Broncos: Amber alert for champs; Prince sticks solid

The top two teams of the season are set to clash in a decisive match as the Roosters take on the Broncos to determine this year's champion.

The Roosters secured the minor premiership by finishing the season without a loss, while the Broncos only faced defeat once-against their grand final rivals in Round 3.

Despite finishing the regular season with impressive statistics, including the highest-scoring offense (404 points) and the strongest defense (only 116 points conceded), the Broncos missed the top spot due to that early loss against the Roosters, preventing them from repeating their success from the previous year.

Heading into this final, the teams present contrasting narratives: the Broncos surged ahead with a confident performance against the Knights in sweltering Brisbane conditions, entertaining an impressive crowd of 21,367 at Suncorp Stadium.

In contrast, the Roosters faced a tough challenge from the Sharks, their 2024 grand final opponents, but managed to secure a narrow 17-16 victory, with Jocelyn Kelleher kicking the decisive goal in her milestone 50th NRLW match.

Featuring some of the league's biggest stars alongside emerging talent, the upcoming game promises to be an exciting conclusion to the rugby league season.
