Roosters and Broncos set for another NRLW grand-final meeting
The Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos are due to meet in the NRLW grand final, while three prominent players—Ali Brigginshaw, Millie Elliott and Corban Baxter—are playing their final games before retirement. The men’s NRL decider between the Roosters and Newcastle Knights follows later in Sydney.
The Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos are set to meet in another NRLW grand final, with the match scheduled for grand-final day in Sydney, according to ABC News Australia’s live coverage. The fixture marks the fourth time in nine NRLW seasons that the Roosters and Broncos have met in the decider. The coverage also identified the match as the final appearance for three prominent players: Ali Brigginshaw, Millie Elliott and Corban Baxter.
The report said that only one NRLW grand final, in 2023, had been played without at least one of those three players. It described the 2025 contest as their last opportunity to compete on grand-final day before retirement. The men’s NRL final, between the Sydney Roosters and Newcastle Knights, was scheduled for later the same day.
A tribute to Jai Arrow was also due before that match. Earlier results listed in the live report included the Roosters’ 46-10 win over the Sharks and the Knights’ 22-14 victory over the Panthers. The Roosters had reached the final after beating the Dolphins 36-20, while Newcastle advanced after defeating the Panthers.
The live coverage also recorded a State Championship match in which the Redcliffe Dolphins led Penrith 40-4 at half-time. Dolphins five-eighth Jake Averillo was reported to have scored three tries, made three line breaks and provided three try assists at that stage.
