Week 2 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.
Two feelgood stories for NRL 2023 collide in Auckland as Newcastle and Warriors duke it out for the honour of playing the Broncos.

For balance, there’s a comparison between two of the toilers Tohu Harris and Tyson Frizell.
