  NRL Season Review- WHO THE F* FAILED? BRONCOS’ COLLAPSE, EELS’ DISASTER & BULLDOGS’ MELTDOWN!

  Sep 8, 20261h 29m

  The 2026 season is over, and it’s time to put the Brisbane Broncos, Parramatta Eels and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs under the microscope! BRONCOS: From premiers to bottom four — WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! We dive into Brisbane’s dramatic fall from the top, the blame game surrounding Madge, the players and club management, and whether Adam Reynolds went one year too long. With 677 points conceded at 28 points per game, was there a genuine attitude problem? Plus, we look at the emergence of Willison and the return of Walters as some much-needed positives. EELS: A horror start, conceding 50 points in Round 1, was followed by failed recruitment attempts, the losses of Dylan Brown and Lomax, a brutal injury toll and serious questions over leadership. Did Parramatta underestimate what they lost? And was their injury crisis as bad as it was made out to be? We also discuss the emergence of TDS and another consistent season from Jack Williams. BULLDOGS: From top-four contenders to 12th! What went wrong at Canterbury? We break down the confusion around the spine, the Bulldogs’ struggles in attack, averaging just 19 points a game, and whether coaching arrogance played a role. But there are positives, with Lachlan Galvin producing a sensational season despite playing out of position, while Preston took another huge step forward. Three clubs. Three very different stories. Who failed the most in 2026?

  NRL Season Review- DRAGONS' YOUNG GUNS, TITANS' BIG QUESTIONS & TIGERS' COLLAPSE!

  Sep 7, 20261h 33m

  The season is officially in the books, and it’s time to put the Dragons, Titans and Tigers under the microscope! Who impressed, who disappointed, and which teams have a genuine future ahead of them? ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS From 0-11 after Round 12 to finally breaking through against the Broncos in Round 13, the Dragons endured a brutal season. With the Flanagan era ending early, serious questions over the halves and an ageing spine holding them back, is there finally light at the end of the tunnel? The young forward pack could be the foundation of something special. GOLD COAST TITANS Was the Josh Hannay era really an improvement? We compare this season to last year's numbers under Des and ask whether the Titans are actually heading in the right direction. With exciting young talent in Kini, JC, Harrison and Pascoe , the future could be bright — but is it time for the Titans to move on from Brimson and reshape the squad? And why could they only manage two wins after Origin? WESTS TIGERS The ultimate tale of two seasons . The Tigers sat third after Round 8 with a 5-2-1 record and looked like a genuine finals contender, only to win just three more games for the rest of the season. Did Jarome Luai's departure derail the playing group, and perhaps most importantly — is Benji Marshall the right man to lead this team forward? Plus, we name our Player of the Year for each club and hand out our brutally honest S–F tier rankings for the season! Who deserves the highest grade — and who gets an F?

  RD27 NRL Preview- WILDCARD ROUND CHAOS! Are We Really Doing This? MASS RESTINGS & Huge Signing News!

  Sep 2, 20261h 11m

  Round 27 is here and there’s plenty to unpack as we head towards the finals! The boys kick things off by discussing the Wildcard Round proposal for future seasons — is it something the NRL should introduce, or is the current finals system better left alone? Volkman has extended with the Eels for another two years, with Danny Weidler reporting a deal worth around $250K per season, while reports today suggest Max King is set to sign with the Chiefs from November 1 . We break down both moves and what they could mean for the clubs moving forward. We also react to the latest Team List Tuesday news, including no changes for the Bulldogs, before debating the massive restings from both the Sharks and Roosters. Are the clubs making the right call, or are they risking momentum heading into the finals? Plus, we review our RD26 best bets results before locking in our RD27 tips and best bets .
