Finals footy is here and although grand final day is only four weeks away, no one can settle on a favourite to lift the trophy.

And will we see ‘Big Papa’, Josh Papalii, line up in Canberra as the Raiders mount their finals campaign starting in pole position?

Michael Chammas and Christian Nicolussi from The Sydney Morning Herald dive head first into finals week one for 2025.
