PANTHERS V EELS BATTLE OF THE WEST ON FRIDAY NIGHT
The premiers from Penrith, circling Sharks, Cowboys riding high, electric Eels, Melbourne’s Munster magic, red-hot Roosters, the Bunnies big guns and Ricky’s Raiders – will all combine in the only place you can watch every NRL Finals game, Channel 9, beginning at 7.00pm on Friday.
NRL on Nine will showcase four huge NRL finals, three NRLW games and seven hours of Live Sunday coverage from the new Allianz Stadium, including the Sunday Footy Show, in the ultimate feast of finals footy for week one.
Hosted by James Bracey, the best line-up of rugby league commentators in the game will assemble on Nine’s Wide World of Sports to cover every second of the action.
Rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns, premiership-winning captains Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Brad Fittler, Paul Vautin, Paul Gallen, Darren Lockyer, and multiple premiership winners Billy Slater, Sonny Bill Williams and Phil Gould AM will provide the best insight and analysis for every NRL finals game.
In commentary, Mat Thompson, Peter Psaltis, Chris Warren and Ruan Sims will call the action with Danika Mason, Allana Ferguson and Emma Lawrence on the sidelines.
On Friday night at 7.00pm, it’s the battle of Sydney’s west Part III – Panthers v Eels, firing up NRL finals footy for 2022. The Eels are two from two against the minor premiers this season, but can they do it in a Qualifying Final when it matters most in front of a boisterous Panthers home crowd? A crowd buoyed by the return of their best player, Nathan Cleary, after a five-week suspension.
On Saturday, a finals double-header begins from 5.00pm, when the Melbourne Storm pull out all their tricks at home with the magic of Cameron Munster, up against the Canberra Raiders inspired by Jack Wighton. The Raiders roll into AAMI Park as the underdogs who finished in eighth spot on the ladder, now on a mission to take down the masters of September success in an elimination final.
Straight after this game, at 7.00pm, the Cowboys and Sharks wage war for the right to a week off and a ticket straight to the preliminary final. Former Sharks premiership winners Valentine Holmes and Chad Townsend will be riding into town as Cowboys, tasked with silencing the ‘Up Up Cronulla’ victory song from Nicho Hynes and his hungry Sharks.
On Sunday afternoon from 3.00pm, the hatred level redlines again at Allianz Stadium for a second straight week when the Roosters meet the Rabbitohs, also an elimination final – the other win-or-bust encounter.
James Tedesco’s Roosters – red-hot after eight wins on the trot – need to take down the Rabbitohs big guns Latrell Mitchell, Cameron Murray and Cody Walker again to keep their premiership dream alive.
Adding to the action, every NRLW game of Round 4 will be available Live and Free this weekend. A Saturday NRLW double-header in Melbourne from 1.00pm places the Titans v Eels and Broncos v Dragons ahead of the two men’s NRL finals – all on 9Now, Channel 9HD and 9GemHD.
Then on Sunday, following the Sunday Footy Show live from Allianz Stadium at 11.00am, the Roosters and Knights NRLW match is live from 1.00pm, leading straight into the last NRL finals game of week one between the Roosters and Rabbitohs.

So Melbourne is meant to be getting 3 of 4 finals live on the main channel? (the exception being the Friday).
Which means the Melbourne Saturday Nine News bulletin is moved to 4.30pm.
If that is correct, that’s a great outcome for the NRL. Seven doesn’t do this for the AFL in NSW or QLD unless the local teams are playing.

Thanks, wow yes, Storm game should rate OK since it’s on before the AFL game, but yeah, dunno about my Sharkies!

Ray Warren: Calling Time
Friday, September 30, at 7:30pm on Channel 9
Nine’s Wide World of Sports will present a unique insight into the life of one of Australia’s greatest broadcasters and characters in Ray Warren: Calling Time, on Friday, September 30, at 7.30pm.
Nostalgic, funny and irreverent, this special tribute to his life relives the soundtrack to many of the most memorable moments in Australia’s sporting history and dives deeper into the world of the man affectionately known as Rabs.
From the way he prepared in his home office before calling some of the biggest moments in sports history to his upbringing in the regional New South Wales town of Junee, to the chemistry of how the commentary box worked behind the scenes – it’s all there in Ray Warren: Calling Time.
Hosted by James Bracey, a stellar cast of some of the biggest names in Australian sport as well as Rabs’ colleagues share their experiences and never-before-heard stories of working and travelling with him over four decades of his broadcasting career.
The special will feature Ian Thorpe, Paul Vautin, Peter Sterling, Phil Gould, Giaan Rooney, Bruce McAvaney, Andrew Johns, Johnathan Thurston, David Gyngell, Billy Birmingham (The 12th Man),Peter V’landys and many more personalities when it goes to air on Channel 9 in the build-up to the 2022 NRL Grand Final.
Nine Director of Sport, Brent Williams, said: “Ray Warren is without doubt one the greatest and most iconic sports broadcasters our country has ever seen – from the young boy calling marbles rolling down a slope to the legend providing the soundtrack to Origin’s most memorable moments, and everything in between. Calling Time is a celebration of Rabs’ incredible career and his remarkable journey to becoming the best ever.”

NRL Preliminary Finals and NRLW Semi-Finals head up a huge weekend of live and free footy on Channel 9 and 9Now
- Queensland hopes riding on Cowboys to beat the Eels
- Panthers v Rabbitohs Grand Final rematch on Saturday
- NRLW Semi-Finals and Prime Minister’s XIII in Sunday footy feast
A ticket to the big dance – the 2022 NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final – is up for grabs this weekend in two epic preliminary finals Live and Free on Channel 9HD and 9Now.
Only four teams remain: the pride of Queensland – the North Queensland Cowboys, the Parramatta Eels out to break the longest premiership drought in the NRL, the South Sydney Rabbitohs on a huge revenge mission, and the premiership powerhouse that is the Penrith Panthers.
From Friday night at 7.00pm, it’s lights, camera, action in Townsville when the Cowboys host a preliminary final for the first time in the club’s history, against an electric Eels outfit led by Mitchell Moses that is ready to shoot down their doubters and bring an end to 36 years of premiership heartache.
Written off at the start of the season, the Cowboys will have the whole state of Queensland saddling up with them to ride into the Grand Final, behind wrecking ball Jason Taumalolo and the X-factor of their superstar centre Valentine Holmes.
On Saturday night at 7.00pm, the immovable force of the Panthers, the minor premiers, meets the unstoppable force of the Rabbitohs, Latrell Mitchell, in a mouth-watering 2021 Grand Final rematch.
The Rabbitohs have a score to settle after finishing runners up, but will need to find a way to stop another halfback masterclass from Panthers playmaker Nathan Cleary.
A Sunday feast at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane will round out the weekend with four straight games, beginning with two action-packed NRLW semi-finals and the Women’s and Men’s Prime Minister’s XIII against Papua New Guinea.
Nine’s Wide World of Sports will have the best in the business covering a scintillating weekend of footy. Hosted by James Bracey, rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns, premiership-winning captains Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Brad Fittler, Paul Vautin, Paul Gallen, Darren Lockyer, and multiple premiership winners Billy Slater and Phil Gould AM, will make sure you don’t miss a thing.
In commentary, Mat Thompson, Peter Psaltis and Ruan Sims will call the action with Danika Mason, Allana Ferguson and Emma Lawrence on the sidelines.
