Finals expose the clubs built for pressure and those still bluffing

Jai Arrow’s 100th game shows rugby league at its absolute best

I reckon Jai Arrow’s 100th game matters more than anything that happens on the scoreboard. It is rugby league wrapping its arms around a mate when he and his family need it most.
