The 2026 NRL season is officially underway after a chaotic opening weekend in Las Vegas. We break down the Knights’ win over the Cowboys and ask the big question, was it the same old North Queensland with flashes of brilliance but not enough consistency, or are Newcastle genuine contenders behind a near-perfect Kalyn Ponga performance?

Then we dive into the Bulldogs vs Dragons thriller. Were the Dragons robbed in the dying moments? Was it a strip or a loose carry? We unpack the controversial call, Galvin’s impact and what both sides showed in Round 1.
