NRL Grand Final 2021

This year will create history playing the grand final at the Suncorp Stadium Brisbane for the first time with less spectators and kicks off at 7.30pm.

For the two teams there are so many incentives for either club to win. For the Rabbitohs, it is to send Wayne Bennett and Adam Reynolds out as premiership winners in their final club games as coach and captain, respectively.

While for the Panthers, it is all about redemption after losing to the Melbourne Storm in last year’s decider.

Grand Final Week officially kicked off on Sunday evening with Brisbane City Hall, King George Tower and the Hilton lit up with iconic images from the season, tributes to Penrith and South Sydney, the game’s fans and a thank you to the Queensland community for their hospitality.

King George Square in the Brisbane CBD is being renamed King Wally Square in honour of Queensland Immortal Wally Lewis as part of a two-day NRL Fan Fest on Thursday and Friday, culminating with the appearance of both teams on Friday afternoon.
