Brisbane and Penrith have made their way to the big dance, with the two powerhouse clubs demolishing their opposition in the prelim finals to set up a tantalising 2023 NRL decider.

After 27 rounds and three weeks of finals, it was the Broncos and Panthers who stood tall and will now square off at Accor Stadium on Sunday night in front of a bumper crowd. 

With the retirement of Ray Warren in 2022, there is now a distinct lack of familiarity for a lot of casual rugby league fans while tuning into free-to-air games, with the legendary caller the voice of the game for many decades.

As is the case every year, Channel Nine will cover the game live and exclusive, with a delayed broadcast of the game to be shown on Fox League following full-time.
