Brisbane Broncos
Home Ground: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
Coach: Michael Maguire
What a torrid early test the Broncos face to defend their premiership crown. The Panthers, Eels, Storm and Dolphins, will all offer their own challenges. Still, the reigning premiers are always set to be tested, as everyone else wants to knock them over. The Broncos have managed to retain the majority of their 2025 squad, but it will be interesting to see whether news of Payne Haas’ signing with the Rabbitohs will dampen morale at all. They have also lost the young halfback they would have been lining up to eventually replace veteran Adam Reynolds. Can the Broncos build their own dynasty?

Canberra Raiders
Home ground: GIO Stadium Canberra
Coach: Ricky Stuart
The Raiders shocked everyone last season in taking out the Minor Premiership. They weren’t able to convert that success once the finals started, but they have the majority of their squad lining up to take another shot at it. The big loss will be halfback Jamal Fogarty, but they do have a formidable halves pairing in the two Ethans. If it was hard to imagine them finishing atop the ladder last season, then of course it is hard to see them repeating the performance, but they did prove themselves to be a very dangerous opponent, one that will not be taken lightly by anyone this year.

Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs
Home Grounds: Accor Stadium, Belmore Sports Ground.
Coach: Cameron Ciraldo
There really is no such thing as an easy game in the NRL, but the Bulldogs face a rather cushy start to the season and would be hoping to win at least three of the first four games they play, to add to their early bye. The club still has a halves problem, with neither Lachie Galvin nor Matt Burton a true halfback. They have also lost front-row muscle recruit Leo Thompson to injury for the first 10 weeks of the season. During their trial victory over Newcastle, Matt Burton left the field in the first half with a hamstring concern. Veteran halfback Sean O’Sullivan came on and controlled the game nicely. With injured half of the future Mitchell Woods an unknown quantity, O’Sullivan at half could well be the Bulldogs’ best bet.
Best side: 1. Connor Tracey 2. Bronson Xerri 3. Stephen Crichton 4. Matt Burton 5. Jacob Kiraz 6. Lachlan Galvin 7. Sean O’Sullivan 8. Leo Thompson 9. Bailey Hayward 10. Max King 11.

Cronulla Sharks
Home Ground: PointsBet Stadium (Shark Park)
Coach: Craig Fitzgibbon
The Sharks were agonisingly close last season, falling one game short of the Grand Final after beating the Roosters and Raiders before finding the Storm one hurdle too many. Concerningly they have made no real changes to their squad from last year, once again putting their trust in players emerging from their juniors. Are they able to win a premiership with basically the same squad?
Best side: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sam Stonestreet 3. Jesse Ramien 4. KL Iro 5. Sione Katoa 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Oregon Kaufusi 11.

Dolphins
Home Ground: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Kayo Stadium, Redcliffe
Coach: Kristian Woolf
The Dolphins continue their quest for a first finals appearance. They welcome Thomas Flegler back from a long injury break and have added Broncos and Queensland back Selwyn Cobbo to their ranks. They start the season with a mixed bag of opponents and will be looking for a strong start. During the offseason the Dolphins had a clean out, as coach Kristian Woolf stamped his mark on the squad; could this be the year they break into the finals?
Best side: 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Jake Averillo 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Isaiya Katoa 8. Daniel Saifiti 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10.

Gold Coast Titans
Home Ground: Cbus Super Stadium
Coach: Josh Hannay
The Des Hasler era is over as the Titans continue their eternal pursuit of success. It is now up to Josh Hannay to overcome the curse of the coast, and build himself a decent football team. There have been a lot of players pack their bags over the offseason, with no big-name replacements, but often a new coach and a few key roster changes can make a world of difference. Players like Luke Sommerton and Kurtis Morrin are no-nonsense, 110 percenters who will run through walls for their new coach and club. It is hard to see them making the finals this year, but they should improve.

Manly Sea Eagles
Home Ground: 4 Pines Park, Brookvale
Coach: Anthony Seibold
The Daly Cherry-Evans era is over, with the veteran halfback leaving the peninsula to join the Roosters. In his place will be Raiders half Jamal Fogarty, who will need to combine with Luke Brooks to steer the Sea Eagles around the park. Fogarty proved himself more than capable as he led the Raiders to the minor premiership last year. Each year we ask the pivotal question: Can Tom Trbojevic remain healthy? Regardless it is hard to see them faring any better than last season.

Melbourne Storm
Home Ground: AAMI Park, Melbourne
Coach: Craig Bellamy
Coach Craig Bellamy remains at the helm, with his open-ended contract a well deserved reward for his incredible ongoing success at the club. One win away from another premiership last season, 2026 promises to be more of a challenge, with some key players departing. Ryan Papenhuyzen is the biggest loss, but his absence allows exciting fullback Sua Fa’alogo to embed himself in the side. Jonah Pezet has gone and his utility value may be missed should injuries join State of Origin in depleting the Storm during the season, while star winger Xavier Coates will miss the first couple of months through injury. Still, the Storm never seem to struggle.
Best side: 1. Sua Fa’alogo 2. Xavier Coates 3. Nick Meaney 4. Jack Howarth 5. Will Warbrick 6. Cameron Munster 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Josh King 9. Harry Grant 10. Stefano Utoikamanu 11.

Newcastle Knights
Home Ground: McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle
Coach: Justin Holbrook
The Knights have made the key purchases of Dylan Brown and Sandon Smith to reinvigorate their spine after finishing last season with the wooden spoon. They also sacked head coach Adam O’Brien and brought in Justin Holbrook. They have a strong and loyal supporter base who deserve much more than they have produced in recent times, and with the only way being up, the Knights are expected to show much improvement in 2026. With a large proportion of their salary cap running around in the halves and backs, there are some concerns about the potency of their engine room. If the forwards can hold their own and cut down on the errors, the Knights will be hard to stop out wide.

New Zealand Warriors
Home Grounds: Go Media Stadium, Auckland
Coach: Andrew Webster
The Warriors started the 2025 season on fire and looked certain to go deep into the finals, and then, halfback Luke Metcalf did his knee. The wind was knocked out of their sails and they limped home after that. If they can keep their full-strength lineup on the park they will again be tough to beat. They have had a bit of clean out of their squad in the offseason, but haven’t signed anyone of note. Their starting lineup is pretty much unchanged, but their depth could again prove to be an issue if injuries raise their ugly heads.
Best side: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Ali Leiataua 4. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 5. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 6. Te Maire Martin 7. Luke Metcalf 8. James Fisher-Harris 9.

North Queensland Cowboys
Home Ground: Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville
Coach: Todd Payten
The Cowboys would not have been pleased with their 2025 season, with inconsistency plaguing the Townsville side. The biggest change to their lineup has been in the hooking role where Blues No.9 Reece Robson has departed for the Roosters, replaced by Bulldogs dummy-half Reed Mahoney. Mahoney could just prove to be the added spark that the Cowboys need to inspire them through the down times. He knows how to upset the opposition and how to direct play around the ruck. Tom Dearden and Jake Clifford form one of the league’s better halves combinations and with Scott Drinkwater chiming in from fullback, they certainly have no problems in the spine department. They need a lift in performance from the forwards and a concerted effort to play a full 80 minutes of football each and every week.
Best side: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Murray Taulagi 3. Jaxon Purdue 4. Zac Laybutt 5. Robert Derby 6. Tom Dearden 7. Jake Clifford 8. Jason Taumalolo 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Griffin Neame 11.

Parramatta Eels
Home Ground: CommBank Stadium Parramatta
Coach: Jason Ryles
The Eels face one of the toughest starts to the season of any team, starting with a road trip to visit both of last year’s grand finalists. They might feel a bit of relief next up in facing the Dragons at home, but then they have the Panthers and Tigers to test them. They have lost star five-eighth Dylan Brown, who didn’t exactly light it up last year after announcing his departure. The fitness of Mitchell Moses and the potency of his one-year combination with Jonah Pezet will be key to their success. On their day they can be tough to beat, but there is something about their pack and backline that doesn’t exactly scream “premiership threat”.

Penrith Panthers
Home Ground: CommBank Stadium Parramatta
Coach: Ivan Cleary
The Panthers took a break from winning premierships last season, but any observer of the way they finished the year, after a sluggish start, will be well aware that their window has definitely not closed. New five-eighth Blaize Talagi took a while to find his place in the side, but once he did and with Nathan Cleary free from injury, the outside backs started to tear oppositions apart. They face a testing start to the season, meeting the premiers first up and finishing their five-game stretch with last year’s runner-up. For the first time in years, they have not lost any big name players through salary cap pressure, the squad is instead settled and ready to fire after last year’s preliminary final run.
Best side: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Brian To’o 3. Izack Tago 4. Paul Alamoti 5. Casey McLean 6. Blaize Talagi 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Mitch Kenny 10. Lindsay Smith 11. Liam Martin 12. Scott Sorensen 13. Isaah Yeo Bench: 14. Jack Cole 15. Liam Henry 16. Isaiah Papali’i 17. Luke Garner

St George Illawarra Dragons
Home Ground: Netstrata Jubilee Stadium [Kogarah] WIN Stadium [Wollongong]
Coach: Shane Flanagan
The Dragons roll into the 2026 season after scrambling to avoid the wooden spoon last year. They welcome halfback Daniel Atkinson from the Sharks and prop Josh Kerr returns from the Dolphins. Apart from those two acquisitions, the offseason has mainly been used to clean out a whole raft of players. Will that provide the freshen up the Dragons need to turn their fortunes around? They certainly face a massive test with their first three games being against the Bulldogs, Storm and Eels. Fans of the proud club will be hoping to see a bit of fight early and a lot more consistency moving through the season.
Best side: 1. Clinton Gutherson 2. Christian Tuipulotu 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Moses Suli 5. Tyrell Sloan 6. Kyle Flanagan 7. Daniel Atkinson 8. Josh Kerr 9. Damien Cook 10. Toby Couchman 11.

South Sydney Rabbitohs
Home Ground: Accor Stadium (Olympic Stadium Homebush)
Coach: Wayne Bennett
The Rabbitohs had a miserable year to welcome back Wayne Bennett with injuries and a lack of consistency seeing them in a battle to avoid the wooden spoon. Bennett has been busy in the offseason making some major purchases, mainly in the engine room, with Payne Haas on his way for 2027. The two big questions are: Can the best of the Bunnies stay fit throughout the season? And can Bennett sort out his best spine and have them perform week in and week out? One thing is for certain, if anyone can turn the Rabbitohs around it will be Bennett.
Best side: 1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Campbell Graham 4. Jack Wighton 5. Tyrone Munro 6. Cody Walker 7. Jamie Humphreys 8. Tevita Tatola 9. Brandon Smith 10. Keaon Koloamatangi 11.

Sydney Roosters
Home Ground: Allianz Stadium
Coach: Trent Robinson
The Roosters limped into the finals last year before crashing straight out, losing to the Sharks. Never a club to be satisfied with anything short of a premiership, the Roosters have given the squad an overhaul. The biggest move being the signing of veteran Queensland halfback Daly Cherry-Evans. The last time the Roosters made a similar signing they went on to win back-to-back titles. DCE and James Tedesco don’t have too many years left in their legs, but you can rest assured that they will form a crucial part of an even more competitive Roosters side in 2026.
Best side: 1. James Tedesco 2. Mark Nawaqanitawase 3. Billy Smith 4. Robert Toia 5. Daniel Tupou 6. Sam Walker 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Spencer Leniu 9. Reece Robson 10. Lindsay Collins 11.

Wests Tigers
Home Grounds: Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leichhardt Oval
Coach: Benji Marshall
The Tigers showed plenty of improvement last season, yet still fell short of breaking their finals drought. They start 2026 with a guaranteed two points from the bye before launching their season on the hallowed turf of Leichhardt Oval against the very beatable Cowboys. Their first five games should allow them to get off to the kind of start that will build confidence and hopefully see them break into the Top 8 at the pointy end of the season. Coach Benji Marshall has assembled a squad which should be capable of playing finals football. If they fail again, Marshall himself will come under enormous pressure and the Tigers will start that familiar walk towards starting all over again.
Best side: 1. Jahream Bula 2. Heamasi Makasini 5. Taylan May 4. Starford To’a 5. Sunia Turuva 6. Latu Fainu 7. Jarome Luai 8. Alex Twal 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. Terrell May 11. Kai Pearce-Paul 12. Samuela Fainu 13. Adam Doueihi Bench: 14. Jock Madden 15. Alex Seyfarth 16. Royce Hunt 17. Fonua Pole
