That’s followed by the first of the two NRLW Preliminary Finals, with the Roosters – who topped the table in the regular season with a 100% record – and the Raiders going toe-to-toe for a Grand Final berth.

Saturday’s action concludes at 5.30pm, with Super League Leaders’ Shield winners Wigan hosting Wakefield at The Brick Community Stadium. The Warriors can complete the treble this year, but Trinity stand in their way of Old Trafford, hoping to book a first-ever Grand Final appearance of their own.

Next up to be decided is the NRL Grand Final line-up, which will be completed by either Minor Premiership winners Penrith or the Knights, who only finished seventh in the regular season but will look to spring another shock here/

This weekend’s action concludes at The Brick, where Wigan and York Valkyrie meet in the Women’s Super League Grand Final, with the Warriors’ only defeat in any competition this season coming only earlier this month against Sunday’s opponents!
