WATCH | Running It Straight previews the 2024 NRL Finals

The top eight has been decided - but who's ready to go on a premiership-winning run when the intensity lifts for finals footy?

Week 1 of the 2024 NRL Finals kicks off this Friday with the defending champion Penrith Panthers hosting the Sydney Roosters, before a Saturday double of the Melbourne Storm versus the Cronulla Sharks and the North Queensland Cowboys taking on the Newcastle Knights. The first week wraps up with an all-Sydney clash between the Bulldogs and Sea Eagles - and all games will be live on SENZ.

While the NZ Warriors finished 13th on the ladder, SENZ's weekly rugby league show Running It Straight is still going strong until the end of the season.

Hosts Sam Hewat and Anthony Gelling are joined by SEN League's Denan Kemp for a special preview edition of the 2024 Finals live on SENZ this Wednesday from 2pm NZ time.
