Nathan Friend has credited Gold Coast's unlikely surge to the NRL finals to Neil Henry's courage in cutting players he saw as dead wood from the club.

Canterbury skipper James Graham has thrown his support behind Will Hopoate's decision to sit out Sunday's NRL elimination final with Penrith due to his religious beliefs.

For half of the NRL's fans, the season is now over. But who should you hitch your bandwagon to?

Rookie Manly coach Trent Barrett has blamed a wretched run of injuries as the reason why the Sea Eagles have missed the NRL finals for the second straight season.

Robbie Farah sat on the balcony of the Leichhardt Oval scoreboard drinking beer for more than an hour after full-time on Sunday. Next year he will be close to being the highest paid player in the game after the Wests Tigers agreed to foot $750,000 of his salary in 2017.

Penrith coach Anthony Griffin says he didn't have any input in electing to play this weekend's elimination final against Canterbury at Allianz Stadium, after the Panthers leapfrogged the Bulldogs into sixth spot with a 36-6 win over Manly.

Leichhardt certainly wasn't the Tigers' jungle on Sunday. From the moment Tim Simona's kick-off to the match sailed dead at the Iron Cove end, drawing groans around the ground, it was evident this might not be their afternoon.

Melbourne Storm are confident their ability to win in the face of adversity will serve them well in the NRL finals.

Cronulla Sharks coach Shane Flanagan says his side won't be sweating on the availability of hooker Michael Ennis or whether they will get a qualifying final in Sydney.

When can a trial be considered a success even if the thing being trialled is never used?

Sam Perrett will sit out Canterbury's elimination final in week one of the NRL playoffs as he continues to battle a neck injury.
