2026 NRL Draw
- Thread starter innsaneink
- Start date
Probably would have been the Knights but they locked in Vegas.
Personally I reckon it should be Brisbane and they actually kick start their season in Vegas with the world club challenge but I understand Hull is in Vegas this year playing a round of the English comp.

Seems an oversight....Vegas is played 23 days after Round 1 starts? AI, right?

Conspiracy theory- punishment because we refused to go to Las Vegas

All battlers that would relish the opportunity of upsets that are regularly much more common at the start of a season. Now yet another home game in Brisbane for magic round and the donkeys is away, but yeah, random hey.
Yep, something is wrong.
It appears a stuff up without someone checking things.
The NRL games are actually played on 1 March.
That ad above referring to games played in February is also weird - there is a rubgy league tournament advertised for February but again these dates are out - and in any event are not the NRL teams involved:
NRL Las Vegas nines
The NRL are inviting both Men’s and Women’s teams to join in on an unforgettable experience where the spirit of Rugby League converges with the vibrant energy of the Entertainment Capital of the World.

It's not awesome getting the round 1 bye again...but we did loose 2 of 3 games after a bye round last year so it's not a massive benifit unless you need the week off for player recovery from injury....missing round 1 isn't that big a deal, it's a garentee 2 points, garentee no injuries no suspensions and we get an extra week to have a look at how every team plays and review our round 2 opposition. ,.I guess ..glass half full 😜

I’m kinda moved on now from Week 1 …I’m waiting to see how terrible the rest of the draw will turn out.. getting the third bye in Round 26 or 27 might be on the cards

Easter Monday v Parra will probably be an away game for us if its on an alternating basis

how is it fair that EVERY magic round game we have had we are the home team. EVERY year.
Also i did a 20 second A.I create a draw..... easily did one without the last two teams to have rd 1 byes (titans and us).... dolphins got the bye and we would of had a sat night game vs manly....
What is the bloody bet our first game will be an away game and lets forget only a few weeks later is our "home game" against parra for easter monday (what a joke)
No wonder richo doesnt want us playing vegas or magic round and i dare say when the agreed contract for magic round is up (which i think is '27 or '28) richo will bail on magic round so our 2 upgraded stadiums will get max games for us fans.
I now live up in gold coast and even i want the.tigers to get as many home games as possible.... if i dont get to see them live as much so be it....
Love my club!!!

It’s one of my biggest bug bears with the team … but only themselves to blame… they want the cash for selling one of their home games ,,,
