We break down both grand finals and look ahead to Nationals in Adelaide. Gem Hudson joins to unpack Bankstown's championship poise over Manly Warringah — composure, bench trust, defensive discipline, and why settling for threes cost Manly the paint. Then James sets the stakes for North Bears vs Sutherland Sharks: North's second-half comeback, Iggy Mitchell's response, the tactical swings, Tyler Robertson's shot-making, and why Fabijan Krslovic earned MVP despite a quiet box score. Plus early 2027 offseason coaching moves, commentary craft, spotting rising women's talent, and a tribute to North's behind-the-scenes builders.
