The Panthers will be hunting down their third consecutive premiership win, and if they’re successful, they’ll be the first team to win three times in a row in 40 years – the last to do it was the Parramatta Eels. The Brisbane Broncos last won a premiership in 2006, and they’ll be looking to upset Penrith’s chances of a three-peat.
It’s tough conditions for both teams tonight, with temperatures reaching 36° Celsius (96° Fahrenheit) in Sydney today, though it’s become cooler in the evening. The Australian Rugby League Commission’s (ARLC) chairman, Peter V’landys, says there are protocols in place for the unseasonably warm conditions.
With two premierships from the last two years already under their belt, the Penrith Panthers know exactly what to expect from a grand final, and they also get to benefit from a home ground advantage. Meanwhile, the Brisbane Broncos are in hostile territory, and only two of its players have grand final experience – Adam Reynolds and Kurt Capewell, with Capewell being an ex-Panther himself.
It was only fitting that the two best teams in the NRL this season would meet in the Grand Final, but only time will tell if the Penrith Panthers have their fairytale finish. Will they make the three-peat? We’re about to find out. Read on for how to live stream the NRL Grand Final from wherever you are, including how to watch Panthers vs Broncos for free.
