THE 2018 NRL grand finalists have been decided with the Sydney Roosters to tackle Melbourne Storm — but will Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk play?

Both sides have huge question marks hanging over them in the build-up to the blockbuster clash at ANZ Stadium, with Slater needing to beat a shoulder charge ban and Cronk racing the clock to be fit.
