No coloured in-goals at the grand final. Last time the NRL did it was 2019. No team logos on the field either. Damn shame, it’s just a little touch but always added to the occasion.

There was nothing we could do about it. Babu Frik was a made man, and Grogu wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Mandalorians. It was real greaseball shit. They even shot Grogu in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.

Remember when the main criticisms of Holden Cup were the wild scorelines and poor defence? This NRL is now on track to have more high-scoring shootouts and one-sided floggings than the last year of under-20s in 2017. On @aap_sports #NRL aapnews.aap.com.au/a/pplPnUo…

Uncharted territory: how NRL became like old under-20s

The NRL is on track for its highest-scoring season of all time, with an average of more than 50 points scored per game over the opening 10 rounds.

City Origin selectors are watching Alex Twal very closely ahead of next month's clash with their arch rivals, Country. Love what Twal's become. Never too late to change. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-14/a…

How this Wests Tigers cult hero went from meme to machine

For years, Alex Twal was best known for the things he didn't do but, after helping the Tigers surge up the ladder, the cult hero forward has become one of the most improved players in the NRL.

First footy yarn of the year - after three years out of footy, Pat Herbert's gone from an excavator to an NRL pre-season. Hope he makes it, love a comeback abc.net.au/news/2026-02-07/p…

Just making it back to the NRL was a fair effort from Herbert and so far he’s ended up having the game of his life. Love it.

12 set restarts awarded by Klein in the 1st half - a new record. A penalty/set restart awarded every 10.4 play the balls Previous high was 11 in Round 2 2026 & Round 6 2020 Allegedly some rugby league was played as well but am waiting for independent verification

Round 2 was the first time there have been more set restarts awarded than penalties outside of *that* 2021 season. By just how many may astound you. Plus expected point charts for every game rugbyleagueeyetest.com/2026/…

The set restarts will continue until morale improves, plus Round 2 expected points - The Rugby...

Since set restarts were introduced in Round 3 2020, only 10 rounds have had more set restarts awarded than penalties. And it wasn’t usually by a big margin – only two of them were by 1, one by 2, and...
