2026 NRL General Discussion Thread

Theyre all working as security guards waiting for the second nz team. Soon all night clubs will be stacked with uber eats drivers while they're waiting for their next order.

Scaffolding mate, scaffolding. Without them nothing new would get built here, they’re helping us expand in other ways. I heard the last one to leave nz has been asked to turn the lights off.

For everyone except the Warriors, of course. They're going to have their talent spread thinner before they've had any success. Unless the NRL plan on giving them that sweet sweet fairytale premiership they've been whinging for.

Their CEO will have to send out more Tweets... has done them well with the whistle

Teams should set up bases with the intent to grow the game, with help from the NRL (which won't happen).
Gold Coast-South Island
Brisbane- Ipswich, Toowoomba and Logan
Perth- South Africa
Dolphins-Central Queensland
Melbourne- Victoria and Southern NSW

Gold Coast can have the city to themselves and northern NSW.

Brisbane can have Ipswich and Toowoomba. Along with Wynnum and Easts.

Canberra can regain Logan.

Dolphins can have Norths, Redcliffe & Capras.

Melbourne can have Sunshine Coast.

Perth gets North Sydney and Central Coast. If they want South Africa good luck to them.

If we're taking a State of Origin approach, here is the Broncos squad:

Ezra Mam, Cory Paix, Patrick Carrigan, Billy Walters, Cameron Bukowski, Jaiyden Hunt, Braithen Scott & Beni Allen

They'd also get

Sam Walker, David Fifita*, Kurt Capewell, Phillip Sami, Max Plath, Kulikefu Finefeauaki, Harrison Graham, Jake Simpkin, Josiah Pahulu, De La Salle Va'a, Lhykan King-Tongia, Joe Litidamu, Luke Cesari, John Radel

among others.

Melbourne can have Victoria and Canberra can have the ACT. They can get the **** out of my state.

Canberra had Souths before you or even the Broncos were born. They can have it.

Alright, we'll call Melbourne the Sunshine Coast Storm. Sure, it'll cost the NRL millions in advertisements and television rights but at least there won't be any of that dishonesty!

NSW had all of Australia before we were born, it doesn’t make it ok in 2026.

Or the Storm could add something to our game instead of leeching off everywhere else. About time, I say.
