2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

[Exsilium]

Ok im in a good mood. $50 to fave charity who finishes higher. Eels or Panthers NRL side. But I want a 4 point start

Eels will be bottom four again. No hate, just facts.

I like Parra this year. If Moses stays fit they'll cause some issues.

agreed - they'll push for 5-8 if Moses stays fit

Agreed, they'll give the top 14 a real shake.

Its a pretty crap squad overall. Pezet might help them out but they look short in the backs and forwards for 2026.

Moses takes them up to a whole new level. They are highly dependent on him. Even more than we are dependent on Nathan Cleary.

I think its a 3 horse race atm.

Penrith,Brisbane,Chooks.

Id say 1 or 2 other sides may make some noise like Raiders,Dogs,Warriors,Storm.
But if they missed the finals barring Storm) it also wouldnt be a shock.

You can add the Dolphins to that list as well.

They are a real chance.

They are a true dark horse.

Best team to watch in the competition IMO. Get a decent run with injury and they should be challenging for the 8. At that point anything can happen.

Parra wont be bottom four unless injuries get them. They were excellent over the back 3rd of last season, they should be big improvers if healthy.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Saints, Newcastle, Titans and Cowboys are my bottom 4, in no particular order.
I think Parra will be around that 8 sort of mark.

I dont mind the Knights squad. Forward packs not great but if Ponga stays fit and D.Brown becomes consistent I think they can be a dangerous side.

I don’t have any confidence in their depth, thats the issue for me. Teams need a good 30 man squad to be successful in this comp

They have no middles. Brown is overrated as f**k but even if he was a gun, no half is doing shit behind that pack

D.Brown will shine. He needed a change. Agree the pack is ordinary but I've heard they have some good forwards coming thru ranks.
I still think they are a top 8 chance if Ponga plays 20 + games. Thats a big if

 

[Fangs]

Knights have some good backrow options. Dylan Lucas has a big future.

Frizell has to be a full-time middle for them. Similar to what he did in 26. After Croker and Saifiti there aren't too many notable players left to do the job.

I agree.

They’ll have speed and decent line running back rowers across the park.

Dont they have the best young prop coming thru in comp? Forget his name.
They wont be a title threat but tbf only 3 or 4 sides are. A side with Ponga but is going to always be dangerous. I think hes the best ball player in game.

Ponga lifts his sides up considerably. On their day they can be dangerous.

I see them in a similar light to Parra with Moses. They are heavily reliant on their star player. A bit more than other sides in the competition. If they aren't fit and firing then they are staring down a bottom 4 finish.

 

[Copperhead]

Sharpe was a huge loss for them last year. There's few better attacking players than him. Hope he fully recovered.

Agree.Both extremely injury prone.
