Las Vegas Sinners 20.11.131 defeated Chicago Sharks 18.12.120
(Real: 1971 vs 1798)

This was much closer than the scoreboard would suggest, and I genuinely thought the Sharks were a chance before adding up the scores. A 120 to end their season is nothing to frown about, but we all know that their best could've taken the flag if provided consistently. Oliver was huge as Shark CC and had late support by Barrass and Hurn, but had a few meh scores, including his other CC, while the Sinners were much more even around the ground, and of course were helped out by Sydney playing Norf. Hewett back would be huge...

Best
Las Vegas: Naitanui, Petracca, Butters, Dawson, O'Meara, Gulden, Himmelberg
Chicago: Oliver, Hurn, Andrews, Perryman, Sicily, Parker


Wisconsin Cockerels 18.11.119 defeated Boston Terriers 18.10.118
(Real: 1790 vs 1777)

Is this the choke of the century? Tex (91 average), Brodie Smith (83.5) and Keays (104) needed 122 between them, but scored 40, 28, and 40 to completely shower the bed and gift Wisconsin a Grand Final spot. CCs Laird and Neale did everything and more to get the Terriers towards the win but were let down by three croms. Also, between Parish (120) and Moore (101) and hell even Morrison (65 - well more than the three non-playing EMGs), that trade was literally the difference here, as Duggan (89), Battle (52) and whoever else was in that bum trade watched from home.

Best
Wisconsin: Gawn, Whitfield, Parish, Macrae, Moore, Clark
Boston: Laird, Neale, McInerney, Parfitt, Hall, Sidebottom
