NRL Grand Final review: Roosters 19–18 Knights, Ponga, Tedesco and the Super League final

<p>NRL Grand Final review: the Roosters beat the Knights 19–18, and Footy IQ breaks down what actually happened. </p><p>Chris Danks and Blake Austin look at how the Knights hung on for dear life with less than half the ball, how Kalyn Ponga delivered a near 80-minute performance, and how the Knights&#39; first try came out of a flat line from Fletcher Sharpe. Blake explains why a front-foot attack that looks risky isn&#39;t, and what clubs can really do about it in 2027. Plus: Trent Robinson&#39;s call on Spencer Leniu, the Clive Churchill Medal for James Tedesco, the debate over six-again versus the penalty, and the pre-game entertainment. Then the Super League Grand Final: Wakefield Trinity beat Warrington, a former Warrington player&#39;s view, and what a Wakefield versus Roosters World Club Challenge could look like. Footy IQ is tactical NRL analysis: systems, decision-making and trends, not noise. </p><p>Subscribe for the weekly NRL breakdown on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.</p><p><br></p>
