All-rounder Marcus Stoinis his for 76, David Warner supplied 64 and Captain Steve Smith hit 55. Travis Head was also a
Eight sides took the field in week one of the finals of the Telstra 2017 NRL Premiership competition and when all was said and done, it might well go down as one of the most compelling finals weeks in the annals of the game. Fourteen total points was all the separated the four losers from
