In the Interstate Cup, the Warriors convincingly defeated the Bears, and Teddy Swims captivated the crowd with an impressive performance, perfectly capping off an incredible day.
The week also featured the Dally M Awards, announcements for the Kangaroos and Jillaroos squads, and the Koori Knockout tournament.
Here are 20 reflections from the grand final week:
1. We were incredibly fortunate to witness one of the all-time great grand finals last night. While some viewers expressed criticism regarding the defensive play, it seems that not all fans can be satisfied. We enjoyed a thrilling match in front of a large audience, culminating in a crucial try-saving tackle just before the final whistle. It truly doesn't get better than that.
