The history of the NRL Grand Finals spans over a century, dating back to the inception of rugby league in Australia in 1908. Key matches have left an indelible mark on the sport’s legacy. The 1989 Grand Final between the Balmain Tigers and Canberra Raiders, with a last-minute try, remains iconic as the “Miracle at Leichhardt.” In the ’90s, the Brisbane Broncos, led by rugby league legends like Wally Lewis and Darren Lockyer, dominated the competition. The Melbourne Storm, featuring Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, and Cooper Cronk, became a powerhouse in the 2000s, claiming multiple titles.
