Andrew Ferguson and League Freak kick off the 2026 NRL season with their annual deep-dive preview – all 17 teams broken down, no holds barred! The boys run through every club's off-season moves: the big signings, the shock departures, the bolters ready to explode, and the question marks hanging over star players. As always, Fergo brings the stats and history, The Freak delivers the unfiltered opinions, and the pair bounce off each other with plenty of laughs, debates, and the odd controversial call. Whether you're a die-hard or just jumping back in for 2026, this is your essential guide to what's ahead in the NRL. Buckle up – footy is back!

Buckle up for a rip-roaring ride through the world of sports with Fergo and The Freak! We dissect Australia's dominant demolition of England in the lopsided 2025 Ashes series. Then, we celebrate the triumphant roar of the Pacific Championship, where underdogs turned into legends and rivalries ignited like never before. Shifting gears to footy frenzy, we slice and dice the 2026 NRL Draw: crowning the luckiest teams with dream runs and roasting the unluckiest with nightmare schedules that'll test even the toughest forwards. And for good measure, we rev up some high-octane Formula One banter—because who doesn't love a dash of speed with their stats? Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and the unfiltered truth only Fergo and The Freak deliver!
