2026 Grand Final Betting Market Review

The Roosters have completed a remarkable run to the Grand Final and are now $1.44 premiership favourites after beating the Dolphins 36-20 at Suncorp Stadium. Sydney were $11.00 following their qualifying-final loss to Penrith, before eliminating Cronulla and then accounting for the Dolphins to book their place in the decider.

Newcastle are the $2.85 outsiders after producing the biggest result of Finals Week 3, eliminating premiership favourites Penrith 16-14. The Knights were as long as $67.00 entering the finals and have now knocked out South Sydney, the Warriors and Panthers on their way to the Grand Final.

It leaves a Roosters-Knights decider that few would have predicted entering September. Sydney's dominant finals performances have them at the top of the market, while Newcastle's three consecutive elimination victories have turned one of the longest-priced teams in the original top eight into the final challenger for the 2026 premiership.
