Week 1 of the NRL finals series is here. We take a look at some of the head-to-head and individual player stats heading into the weekend’s games.
The Warriors bandwagon flies into Penrith but they face an uphill task at the foot of the mountains. Penrith have lost just one game against the rest of this season’s top eight.
