Starting with the outside backs, the Doc will run through some swift individual player debriefs. A guy like David Fusitua was good in 2016 but the loss of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck hampered his progress (the best is yet to come!)
A game of NRL Finals footy in Townsville and one in Canberra has given us 24 hours of rugby league awesomeness.
Otahuhu's Watson Heleta starts at fullback for Wests Tigers as they face off against Mounties, peep the round up of our Reserve Grade Kiiws in Finals footy.
Kalyn Ponga will make his NRL debut tonight (omg!!) so the Doc serves up a Kalyn Ponga mixtape. Wests Tigers also re-signed Junior Kiwi Esan Marsters and Manu Ma'u is the mantis.
Forget Benji Marshall, Gareth Widdop and Josh Dugan. The Dragons couldn't do much with a reasonably average forward pack this season.
James Fisher-Harris will face off against Josh Papalii and there's a few more epic encounters with the kiwi flavour. We've also named another Kiwis team just from the six teams still in the NRL Finals.
Tyrone Peachey and his Penrith Panthers homies will be looking to run Canberra around, only after we enjoy a blockbuster up in Townsville though.
Jesse Bromwich scored a try and put Jason Taumalolo in the shade, but both of our Kiwis won awards at the Rugby League Players Association Players Champion awards night.
Andrew McFadden has made way for Stephen Kearney as coach of the New Zealand Warriors and he'll now be Kearney's assistant coach ... which is why he came to Mt Smart in the first place.
The Rabbitohs reached a plateau in 2016 where they aren't the worst team in the NRL, but they've seen the NRL zoom past them in how the game's played.
Jahrome Hughes was named Queensland Intrust Super Cup fullback of the year and he's starting at fullback for Townsville Blackhawks this weekend. See which Reserve Grade Kiwis have been named as we enter another weekend of Finals footy.
Happy days for Kodi Nikorima as he's a Bronco for two more seasons. Get the low down from the Doc as he attacks it from all angles - as always.
Konrad Hurrell couldn't help Gold Coast beat North Queensland last weekend, not that it mattered because he's playing Finals footy tomorrow night. Suncorp Stadium, local derby vs Brisbane Broncos and the Koni Files are fizzing.
Tohu Harris and his Kiwis Storm Gang will try their best to slow down Jason Taumalolo as the #KiwiNRL takeover hits Finals footy. Plus, the Doc dishes up a Kiwis team from the eight teams in the NRL Finals.
Sam Kasiano's back just in time for a huge weekend of NRL Finals footy! Get the low down on all four games and enjoy the shenanigans.
Manly Sea Eagles spent money last summer but didn't get much of a return on their investment and it looks like their going to do the same thing going into 2017.
Kenny Edwards and his Parramatta Eels comrades were impressive this season, setting the stage for 2017.
Hey, at least the Dragons had Jason Nightingale serving up the goods all season right? Gypsy was great last week, as was Joseph Tapine, Suaia Matagi and Melbourne's Kiwi Gang.
Connor Watson was one of a handful of young guns the Roosters blended into the NRL this season, more reason for Roosters fans to be optimistic about 2017.
Let's run through a few cheeky Bottom-8 Awards with our usual Kiwi twist...
