WHERE ARE NRL FINALS BEING PLAYED?

Fast facts

Last finishing in the top eight in 2011, Wests Tigers are enduring the longest active finals drought in the NRL – every other club has reached the play-offs at least once since 2016.

The only teams to win three consecutive Grand Finals in the past 50 years are Parramatta (1981–83) and Penrith (2021–23), with the Panthers going one better to hit four in 2024.

The last team to reach the Grand Final from outside the top four was North Queensland Cowboys in 2017.

Only four current clubs – Parramatta (last won in 1986), Canberra (last won in 1994), the Warriors and Gold Coast (both searching for their maiden premiership) – have not won the competition under the eight-team NRL finals system.
