It is the most wonderful time of the year - the business end of the NRL season.
This weekend we will witness two mouth-watering preliminary finals.
On Friday night you have arguably the best team of the modern era in the Panthers. Standing in their way are the Storm, who have three of the biggest "big game" players in the comp.
Then on Saturday night you have the red-hot Broncos hosting the super popular Warriors.
We have two huge occasions awaiting us this weekend, however history has shown that perhaps we may not have two close games.
At this end of the season, the truly elite sides are hitting peak form and sometimes brush aside their competition at the final hurdle.
Sometimes though, we are treated to magnificent games of footy despite the nerves that come along with such a huge stage.
Below are the top four, plus one honourable mention, of those very best games from the past decade:
Honourable Mention: Sharks 30 defeat Cowboys 20 - 2016
I simply could not produce a best Prelims list without including my favourite preliminary final of all time. My favourite game of all time.
This is absolutely personal, as in terms of a contest, this wasn't much of one. A late Cowboys flurry padded a very lopsided score-line.
On the night, 35,500 Sharks fans, and around 800 Cowboys fans, packed the old Allianz Stadium to send the Sharks through to a grand final.
James Maloney played as close to a perfect game as you'll ever see. The Sharks played as close to a perfect game as you'll ever see.
I challenge anyone to find party scenes in the stands like those seen when James Maloney took that late intercept and ran away to book the grand final spot for his side!
1. Panthers 20 defeat Rabbitohs 16 - 2020
Unfortunately much of the 2020 season is largely forgotten due to other events happening in the world.
This game, however, will certainly not be forgotten.
Played in front of a heavily Covid-capped crowd, in the middle of October, these two mega teams put on an all time classic Prelim. It really deserved 65,000+, which it otherwise would have enticed.
Alex Johnston's try in the third minute did away with any thoughts that Penrith might romp this game. Although it didn't take them long to reply with Brian To'o crossing just a few minutes later.
Penrith looked to finally have done enough, leading 20-12 with 10 minutes to go. Corey Allan's try in the 72nd minute set up an almighty finish.
Despite having 55% of the ball and a superior completion rate, the Bunnies just couldn't get home.
Penrith were, by far, the best team across the regular season. They won the Minor Premiership by five competition points.
They were pushed all the way to the literal final siren on this night by a Souths side who found form at the right end of the season.
If we witness a game half as good as this across this upcoming weekend, we'll be spoilt!
I’m impressed you remember so many games, and remember them in sufficient detail to balance one against the others.
