IT’S ALL ON THE LINE IN NRL
FINALS WEEK TWO ON NINE
WATCH LIVE AND FREE ON CHANNEL 9HD, STREAM ON 9NOW
It’s win or bust for the Sharks, Cowboys, Roosters and Sea Eagles when they chase a preliminary finals spot in an epic NRL Finals week two, live and free on the 9Network this weekend.
First up on Friday night from 7.00pm, a hungry Cronulla Sharks outfit are out to break their run of eight consecutive finals losses when they take on a gunslinging North Queensland Cowboys side known for their all out attacking style.
With questions surrounding his big-game performances, Sharks playmaker Nicho Hynes is hellbent on delivering an emphatic answer. But to do so the Sharks will also need to drown the relentless scoreboard threats of Tom Dearden, Valentine Holmes and Scott Drinkwater.
On Saturday night It’s the battle of the birds when the Sydney Roosters meet the Manly Sea Eagles from 7.00pm. After being outclassed by the Panthers last week, the Roosters revert back to their chook pen at Allianz Stadium, where they’ll welcome back enforcer Victor Radley, as captain James Tedesco rallies his troops to keep their season alive in his 250th NRL game.
In two match-ups this season, it’s one win apiece for either side, and Manly will come with winning momentum and two of the NRL’s biggest names - Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Trbojevic - having a few tricks up their sleeve in what shapes as a bruising encounter.
The 9Network is the only place you can see every game of the 2024 NRL Finals Series, with the Wide World of Sports’ coverage available on Channel 9 and 9Now, culminating in exclusive coverage of the NRL Grand Final.

Yeah well getting down from Townsville wouldn’t have been a cheap exercise. I looked into making the trip up there for the Knights elimination final. The flight itself would have cost me about $850
