Finals fever is taking over Sydney and it's never been easier for fans to show their true colours and get behind their team's push for premiership glory.
A host of fan events have been planned leading up to three bumper finals across the weekend and it couldn't be easier for supporters to get involved, with free public transport for all ticket holders.
The Rabbitohs and Knights will kick off the finals frenzy with a sudden-death playoff at Allianz Stadium on Friday night.
Just seven days after the Full House sign went up at the venue, another big crowd is expected as both clubs put their title hopes on the line.
Rabbitohs supporters can take the light rail direct from Souths Juniors in Kingsford to the ground with services also running from Central and Surry Hills to Moore Park.
Souths fans will also unite for a public display of their support prior to kick-off, with supporters encouraged to assemble at SCG Gate B at Driver Ave at 6.40pm before marching to the ground.
The NRL and Newcastle Knights have combined to put on free buses for Knights fans travelling to Sydney to support their team. The buses will depart from McDonald Jones Stadium from 4pm and return to Newcastle after full-time.
Supporters can also catch the intercity train from Broadmeadow Station with return trains also running from Central after the match.
Just 24 hours later Allianz Stadium will become Sydney's very own Shark Tank as Cronulla fans turn the venue black, white and blue.
Direct trains to Central will leave Cronulla station every 15 minutes from 3pm, with return trains to the Shire departing Central until 12.45am.
The G-Train will depart Cronulla station at 5.02pm, with supporters encouraged to deck out the carriages in black, white and blue.
The Sharks are also running free buses from Ocean Protect Stadium to Allianz Stadium, with the first round leaving Cronulla at 3.50pm.
Cronulla will host an official pre-game party at Watson's in the Entertainment Quarter from 4pm with fans to march to the stadium at 7pm.
A large contingent of Cowboys fans is also set to make the trip from Townsville to Moore Park, with supporters set to meet at the Tap House on Flinders St.
The Sydney Stampede will then descend on Allianz Stadium from 6.45pm as they support North Queensland's bid for an upset victory.
East and west will collide on Sunday afternoon when the Roosters and Panthers converge on CommBank Stadium with a spot in the preliminary final on the line.
Penrith won nine of 11 at home this season but the Roosters have prevailed in the past two clashes between the sides at the Parramatta venue and this game is not to be missed.
Direct trains from Penrith to Parramatta will run every 15 minutes, with return trains to Penrith also running every 15 minutes after full-time.
Public transport will also make the journey easy for Roosters fans, with trains from Central to Parramatta running every 10 minutes. Free trains will help fans get back home, with trains running from Parramatta to Central every 15 minutes.
