The Brisbane Broncos' 2025 triumph is still fresh, but the focus has already shifted to a 2026 campaign defined by roster turnover, changing club identities, and the looming entry of Perth in 2027. The Broncos, Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers sit atop the favourites list once again, Brisbane boasting depth and stability, Melbourne gearing up for one last push with their established core, and Penrith determined to prove their premiership era isn’t finished.

Predicting the Top 8 remains divisive, but trends are emerging. The Cronulla Sharks and Canberra Raiders loom as unpredictable forces: capable of another strong surge but equally vulnerable to slipping backwards. The Canterbury Bulldogs, Dolphins and South Sydney Rabbitohs carry high ceilings and low floors, while the Titans and Knights appear locked into development seasons rather than genuine premiership contention.

Isaiya Katoa is widely tipped to secure the 2026 Dally M Medal, and Manly are projected to drop sharply as they navigate life beyond the Daly Cherry-Evans era. 

With no clear standout, 2026 shapes as a season full of volatility, opportunity and storylines waiting to unfold.
