The NRL grand final is here, with the Penrith Panthers and Parramatta Eels to square off in the biggest game on the calendar.

Grand final day will also bring us the NRLW decider between the Eels and Newcastle Knights, and a state challenge between NSW Cup premiers the Panthers and QLD Cup premiers the Norths Devils.

With that in mind, we asked our team who were winning all three games and a number of other questions.
