Grand Final week and this is the one we've waited all year for. The Roosters are $1.44 favourites against a Knights side that went from wooden spooners to the decider, chasing a first title in 25 years. If Newcastle get up, they become the biggest outsider to win a premiership in the NRL era.

The Dolphins have won eight straight since that 66-0 hiding to Sharks. The Knights are chasing their first prelim win in 25 years against a Panthers side that has won 15 of their last 16 finals.
