NRL Season Review- MINOR PREMIERS TO MISSING THE 8! What Happened to the Raiders, Storm & Manly?
Description
The 2026 NRL season is over for the Raiders, Storm and Sea Eagles — but what the hell happened?
The Canberra Raiders went from minor premiers to missing the finals altogether. We break down where it all went wrong, the Sanders vs Black halfback debate, Owen Pattie’s impressive rise, their injury struggles and the ongoing issues in the backline.
Melbourne looked destined for another premiership after coming within a try of the 2025 title, but 2026 turned into a nightmare. We discuss the brutal off-field setbacks, the Big Three’s seasons, Sua Fa’alogo’s breakout year and the biggest question of all — has the Storm finally lost their aura?
Then there’s Manly, who started the year under Anthony Seibold and finished with Fozza at the helm, but still couldn’t find a way into the top eight. We discuss whether Foran is the right man for the job, Fogarty replacing DCE, the future of Turbo and Jurbo, Luke Brooks’ absence, Haumole’s incredible season and where Faulalo fits into the future.
Plus, we name our Player of the Year for each club and rank the Raiders, Storm and Sea Eagles from S Tier to F Tier.
