The NRL 2020 Grand Final is in sight, but first, four teams at the top of their game must battle it out in the preliminary finals. First up, the Melbourne Storm will go head-to-head with the Canberra Raiders this Friday (October 16) night at 7:50pm AEDT. The Raiders are coming off the back of a gritty victory over the Roosters last weekend, and while they managed to knock the reigning premiers out of finals contention, they’re sure to be fatigued from the effort. The Storm could have the advantage after a week spent recuperating, so Canberra will have to dig deep if they want another shot at the Grand Final. On Saturday (October 17) night, the Panthers will clash with the Rabbitohs at ANZ Stadium. Penrith have had a near-perfect run this season, only losing one game this year back in round 8. To keep their dreams alive, they’ll need to get past a stellar South Sydney team, who’ve put a total of 144 points on the board in their past three games. It looks set to be a high-scoring match, and you can catch the action at 7:50pm on October 17. We’re just one round away from the Grand Final, with every team in their best form – we can’t wait to see what week three brings us. All this action can be watched live on free-to-air, pay TV and streaming service platforms, starting with the Storm vs Raiders game tonight (October 16) at 7:50pm AEDT from Suncorp Stadium.
