NRL grand final week is never short of subplots, but this year's decider may have set a new precedent

And that was just the build-up.Debate has raged over whether Melbourne great Billy Slater deserved to be cleared of a shoulder charge, while Roosters supporters have been enduring an anxious wait to find out whether Cooper Cronk will overcome a serious shoulder injury and take the field

This is a grand final NRL fans deserve, with the Roosters and Storm having finished on top of the ladder, and some of the key match-ups on the field suggest it will be a season decider to remember

There is not much Tedesco has not done in his stellar first season at the Roosters

He took out the Brad Fittler Medal for his New South Wales star turn in State of Origin and topped the NRL in tackle busts

But before taking over the Kangaroos number one jersey, Tedesco faces the ultimate test on Sunday when he lines up against arguably the game's greatest ever full-back

The stage is set for the retiring Slater to end his glittering 16-season career with a title after he was controversially cleared of a shoulder charge

Cronk has arguably the most talked-about joint in Australia, as he battles to overcome his serious shoulder injury and line up against his former club Melbourne

If he pulls off a medical miracle, the number seven's next trick will be to dodge Storm traffic and overcome former understudy "Cronk clone" Croft in a classic master-versus-apprentice showdown

Croft has finally earned the Storm half-back jersey after a season-long battle with Jahrome Hughes and Ryley Jacks

Much has been made of NRL great Smith before the season decider — and rightly so.The veteran rake will add yet another accolade when he overtakes Darren Lockyer as the player with the most finals matches (36) and is no doubt yearning to win a third legitimate title with the Storm

Yet co-captain Friend is just as integral to the Roosters' success.The NRL's top tackler has arguably been more effective from dummy-half than Smith this year, setting up seven tries compared with the Storm captain's four

Adding intrigue is whether Smith carries on after he left the retirement door ajar if the Storm won

His long-time representative understudy will be out to spoil the party.Mitchell appears primed to wreak havoc after being forced to sweat on a grand final berth when sidelined last week for a crusher tackle ban

That is not good news for Chambers.The Storm's Queensland centre was terrorised by Mitchell in Origin this year, as the Blues claimed a rare series win

Chambers is still one of the game's premier defensive centres but will need to find another gear against the rising NRL superstar

Waerea-Hargreaves will not need to call out Bromwich to ensure a titanic battle up front on Sunday night

While Waerea-Hargreaves has had a poor record with targeting rivals in the past, the Kiwi giant has not had to say a word before the season decider after sounding his intentions by carrying the Roosters pack in the absence of suspended firebrand Dylan Napa

Bromwich will not need much motivation to again inspire in his fourth grand final for Melbourne

Accelerate leaves no doubt as to who's the Breeders' Cup Classic favorite - Duration: 9:26.

If there was any doubt that Accelerate is the best horse currently running, he erased all doubt by overcoming a bad start, wide turns and an Eclipse Award winner to win the $300,000 Awesome Again Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita

He should be the favorite for the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs

 It was the kind of race that you expect out of great horses. Despite all the trouble, Accelerate found a way to win, and in the end, it was by a comfortable 2 ¼ lengths

Advertisement  It started when he was fractious in the gate and then didn't break well

 "He left the gate slow, but he recovered nicely," said winning jockey Joel Rosario, who came from New York to ride the colt

He picked up the mount when regular rider Victor Espinoza was injured in a training accident

It's unclear when Espinoza will resume riding and if he will ride Accelerate again

 "[Trainer] John [Sadler] told me he is a little slow to get going, so I made sure we got ourselves in the game right away," Rosario said

 West Coast, last year's 3-year-old Eclipse Award winner, went to the lead in the 1 1/8-mile race

But this was his first race in more than six months, so no one knew what to expect

Entering the first turn, Accelerate was wide.  "We overcame adversity today and also probably a really wide trip," Sadler said

"They looked like they were floating him out a bit into that first turn."

Deep into the turn, Accelerate moved even with West Coast and poked his head in front at the top of the stretch

 "He was waiting on the turn and then he took off," Rosario said.  It was Accelerate's third straight win and sixth in seven races

This year he has won the Santa Anita Handicap, Gold Cup, Pacific Classic and now the Awesome Again

He has won almost $2.5 million lifetime.  "It's nice to see all those things that didn't go his way today, and he still came out on top," said Kosta Hronis, who owns the horse along with his brother Peter

"It just shows what kind of horse he is."  Accelerate, the heavy favorite, paid $2

60, $2.10 and $2.10. West Coast was second and Isotherm was third. The remainder of the field of six were Prime Attraction, The Lieutenant and Shades Of Victory

 "Maybe a race like this is better for him than what happened in the Pacific Classic, when he sort of just ran free," Hronis said of the Del Mar race he won by a record 12 ½ lengths

"Maybe the gutsy performance is better for him."  Despite West Coast's second-place finish, Baffert was pleased with the performance, especially after such a long layoff

 "He got beat by a really good horse," Baffert said. "I was really happy. He was trying to win

But he was empty a lot earlier than I thought. We would have liked to have won, but I think this really sets him up for the Breeders' Cup Classic

"  Mike Smith was back on West Coast after the colt was ridden twice by Javier Castellano

… He should move forward and I think forcing him a little more really helped him and it was just what he needed

"  It was the second "win and you're in" race for Accelerate. The Pacific Classic gave him his first free pass into the race

Now he has two, but it's not like he can transfer the invitation to another horse

 "Breeders' Cup is obviously next up," said Sadler, who has not won in 41 Breeders' Cup starts

"We'll train here at home and then go and follow Bob Baffert over there to Churchill a week before

We'll kind of walk behind Bob and creep up on him."  It will be Accelerate's third Breeders' Cup start

He finished third in the Dirt Mile in 2016 and ninth in the same race last year.  "It's a good feeling going into the Classic the favorite because I like being the favorite," Sadler said

"It has the highest probability of winning. He's a good horse, doing great and probably the best horse in the country now, clearly

We'll be ready."  No doubt, when he heads to Churchill Downs, people will mention that he has run 20 of his 21 lifetime races in California

The one race outside the state was this year in the Oaklawn Handicap. He finished second
