From the report
How outlets headlined it
Each outlet's own headline. Struck through: the loaded words our version leaves out. Plainest first.
- The Age NRL Highlights: Roosters v Knights - 2026 NRL Grand Final plain
- WAtoday Watson ruled out of grand final after failing bid to overcome concussion plain
- ABC News (Sport) Roosters blow as Watson ruled out of NRL grand final plain
- Brisbane Times Knights coach ‘couldn’t be prouder’ as Roosters celebrate grand final victory plain
This is a summary. The indicators are not. The scores were measured over this summary alone, which is less of the article than we would like and makes them less certain.
