Sky cherry picked it last season (2011) and I've no reason to think they won't do the same again. I can't yet see it on their schedule, and they don't appear to have publicised it. I don't have Sky Sports so I don't know if subscribers know any better from any trailers that may have been run.
I've looked at the live events list on Premier Sports TV for the end of September and it's not there, although the UK Championship Grand Final is being covered on 30th September, the day of the NRL Grand Final at ANZ Stadium.

Think Sky have got the Grand Final live again like last year,then Premier are showing full highlights a day later on the Monday.You would had thought Premier would have the rights to the final,having shown every rounds in the season.

Fairly sure I remember seeing it mentioned in one of the trailers they run at the start of the season telling us about all the exciting RL coverage they've got. Very odd decision, particularly as they fail to mention the NRL the rest of the year (bit like the Championships actually).
