They lost their final three games in a row, culminating in a shock loss to the last placed Tigers.</p> <p>Yet somehow when it really mattered, they rallied and reverted to their early season-selves to send the seemingly unbeatable Broncos packing in the Prelim.</p> <p>How will they fare against the Roosters who have been on a steady incline all season? Let’s take a closer look, while also examining some of the key markets for Grand Final day.</p>

<h2>NRLW Grand Final 2024 Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>The Roosters enter this one as comfortable favourites in the H2H market. It appears the Sharks' shock victory against the Broncos on the road hasn’t fully silenced the doubters, with the late season slump still fresh in most people’s minds.</p> <p>They traded the ridiculous for the sublime, losing to wooden spooners the Tigers in the final week of the regular season, before taking down three-time champions Brisbane, to qualify for this game.</p> <p>The Chooks had their own doubters too, mainly at the start of the season, after they lost a number of key players to long term injuries.</p> <p>NSW State of Origin five-eighth Corban Baxter was ruled out of the entire 2024 NRLW campaign after rupturing her ACL in the Tri-colours final preseason trial. She was also joined on the sidelines by Brydie Parker and Shawden Burton.</p> <p>Players like Jocelyn Kelleher, Tarryn Aiken and Brydie Parker have all stood up in Baxter and co.’s stead.</p> <p>Recent history also does not bode well for the Sharks. These two sides met just four weeks ago and on that occasion the Chooks ran out 40-0 winners.</p> <p>There is also the belief that the Shark’s victory last week was more the Broncos not being up to scratch as opposed to Cronulla being amazing.</p> <p>Add in the Roosters previous experience on the Grand Final stage and we simply have to back them to get it done here.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Sydney Roosters Women.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3> <p>Roosters’ fullback Samantha Bremner is simply cooking at the moment. She has four tries in her last two matches and shapes as a genuine threat to both the Cronulla defence and this market.</p> <p>Bremner took less than a minute to open the scoring two weeks ago and could be set to repeat these heroics on Grand Final day.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Samantha Bremner.</p>

<h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3> <p>There’s a feeling the Sharks are going to get simply run over by the Roosters here. However, it’s important to note that they managed to keep the Broncos scoreless last week, in Brisbane last week.</p> <p>Prior to that, the Queenslanders were on an absolute tear and looked nye unstoppable, so Cronulla clearly know how to quell superior attacking sides.</p> <p>We’re backing them to drag the Chooks into a similar grind here and ultimately go down swinging, while keeping the total match points under the 39.5 mark.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Under total match points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>NRLW Grand Final Date and Details</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Date: </strong>Sunday, October 6, 2024.</p> <p><strong>Kick-off:</strong> 2:55pm AEST.</p> <p><strong>Location: </strong>Accor Stadium, Sydney.</p>
