The teams ranked first to fourth in the ladder (Panthers vs Roosters and Warriors vs Dolphins) meet to decide who advances straight to the Preliminary Finals, while fifth to eighth (Sharks vs Cowboys and Rabbitohs vs Knights) meet in the elimination matches – winners advance to next week's semi-finals, losers are out.

We begin on Friday with the Rabbitohs (6) vs Knights (7) at Sydney's Allianz Stadium.

South Sydney are back in the finals for the first time since 2022 and in good form after walloping the Roosters 50-20 with Latrell Mitchell looking good.

The Knights have done well to get this far after propping up the ladder last year and Kalyn Ponga, Bradman Best and Fletcher Sharpe have been in fine form.

On Saturday, ladder runners-up the New Zealand Warriors take on the third-place Dolphins in the first Qualifying Final.

The Go Media Stadium hosts a first playoffs game since 2023 and Wahs Nation will be all over this.

That's followed by the Sharks (5) vs Cowboys (8) back at Allianz Stadium in an eliminator.

Cronulla-Sutherland have lost four of their past five outings, while North Queensland have been inconsistent all season.

Braydon Trindall returns as playmaker for the Sharks, while Griffin Neame, Jeremiah Nanai and Zac Laybutt are all fit again for the Cowboys.

On Sunday, we close with minor premiers the Panthers facing the Roosters at CommBank Stadium.

Penrith topped the ladder on the final day and welcome back skipper Isaah Yeo to the lineup.

The Roosters went down 26-12 to the Dolphins last time out after challenging for the minor title, and lost star man Sam Walker to injury for the rest of the season.
