By Ben Harris 24 August 2026NRL Round 26: Tips, Predictions and Best Bets
Two rounds remain and one point of differential separates the Warriors from the Panthers at the top of the NRL ladder. Both sit on 38 competition points, and so do the Roosters, so the minor premiership is live for three clubs with two games each left to play. The Warriors host the Knights at Go Media Stadium, Penrith welcome the Bulldogs to CommBank Stadium, and the Roosters meet a Dolphins side on four straight wins at Allianz Stadium in the pick of the weekend. Below them the Rabbitohs and the Cowboys share 30 points, the Bulldogs sit on 28 and the Sea Eagles on 26, while Canberra take the bye already out of it. The round opens Thursday night at Suncorp Stadium, where the Broncos and the Storm meet with neither side able to reach the eight. Below you will find our tips, predictions and best bets for every Round 26 match, with the recommended play for each ready to take to your preferred NRL betting site.
