How does the nrl finals work?

Answer 1

The two lowest placed losers from the first round, however if three of the bottom 4 teams in the 8 win and the 4th team loses, then the 4th team (i.e Storm) is gone and if all of the bottom 4 teams win then 3 and 4 (i.e. Titans and Storm) are gone. The top 2 teams get a second chance.

The top two placed winners from Week 1 are straight through to Week 3 without having to play week 2.

The 4th ranked winner from week 1 plays the 2nd ranked loser from week 1 in week 2, and the winner of that game plays the top ranked winner from week 1 in week 3.

The 3rd ranked winner from week 1 plays the top ranked loser from week 1 in week 2, and the winner of that game plays the 2nd ranked winner from week 3.
