The NRL season has reached Magic Round, with plenty of exciting games lined up for the festival of rugby league at Suncorp Stadium.
It's Magic Round, the weekend where the entire NRL, apart from the Raiders, heads to Brisbane to battle it out on the hallowed turf of Suncorp Stadium. I
Round 10 saw the Panthers continue on their winning way, the Bulldogs collect another loss, the Storm finally break their losing streak and the Sharks have a complete shocker.
The NRL season rolls into Round 10, with the Panthers standing out at the top of the ladder as the most reliable team in the competition.
With the season settling into rhythm, the narratives around the game's brightest young stars have become less about projection and more about action.
Round 9 saw plenty of points scored and some really close contests, Round 10 once again throws up some tricky tipping prospects.
Another incredible weekend of NRL action is in the bag, with the Bulldogs and Storm still struggling to get out of their own way, the Roosters winning a tense battle of two halves and the Sea Eagles giving the Panthers a run.
The Warriors have overcome a plucky Parramatta but appear no closer to solving their halves headache after a 36-14 win at CommBank Stadium.
Round 8 turned out to be a walk in the park for some tippers, but Round 9 looks like it is throwing up the usual challenges.
Who said tipping was particularly tough this NRL season? Fresh on the back of our perfect eight-from-eight in Round 8, we are brimming with confidence here in the ESPN bunker.
The depleted Broncos continued to impress, dismissing the dismal Bulldogs, the Tigers were sensational in their Leichhardt Oval victory over the Raiders, and the Storm slumped to yet another heavy defeat, this time at the hands of the Rabbitohs.
The Warriors have regained their place in the NRL's top two with a frenetic 20-18 victory over the Dolphins in a brutal Anzac Day clash in Wellington.
The first real sample size of the 2026 season is in, and the movement both up and down the Big Board has already been significant.
Will shock losers from last week bounce back? Will the Dragons rise from the ashes of the Shane Flanagan reign? Are the Cowboys serious contenders or hopeless pretenders? Will the Storm win another game this season, and if so, when?
It is hard to believe that Anzac Day is here already, as the NRL season rolls into Round 8 and we take a minute to remember those brave souls who gave everything so that we might have the freedoms that we currently enjoy.
An early try double from flying winger Alofiana Khan-Pereira against his former team has set the Warriors up for a 28-20 win over Gold Coast that kept them firmly in the top three on the NRL ladder.
With the NRL charging ever onwards, we pause to ponder; where does the game we all love currently stand?
The 2026 NRL season continues to confuse and confound, providing plenty of headaches for tippers throughout the year. Tipping all the winners each weekend is near impossible, so we'll give you some extra help with three standout games.
This week throws up some more conundrums. Do teams bounce back from shock losses last week? Do those showing unexpected form reversals continue to shine? And, is it at all possible that the Storm will slump to a fifth-straight defeat?
The upsets continued over the weekend, starting with the biggest of them all as the Bulldogs toppled the Panthers. The Storm's woes continued, while the Rabbitohs and Sharks really should have won their games in the Perth.
Finally cracking a win against Melbourne, the Warriors are hoping to use their statement performance as a springboard for the remainder of the NRL season.
Craig Bellamy says his Melbourne team may as well have "gone to the pub" after his focus on defence failed to stop a Warriors onslaught at AAMI Park that ended a 12-year losing streak.
