A new champion will be crowned when the NRLW grand final takes place this weekend.

Sporting News Australia takes you through the key details of the upcoming decider.

Who is playing in the 2022 NRLW grand final?

The 2022 NRLW grand final features an unlikely pairing, with both the Newcastle Knights and Parramatta Eels failing to make the finals last season.

In the semi-finals, the Knights comfortably defeated the Dragons to book a spot in the decider, coming away as 30-6 victors.

The Eels, on the other hand, caused a major upset, shocking the reigning champion Roosters 24-10.

When the Knights and Eels met in Round 3 this year, Newcastle claimed a narrow 18-16 victory at home.
