With six rounds remaining in the NRL finals-race period we have: Melbourne still in the box-seat for the Minor Premiership, Panthers likely locking in 2nd spot, Easts and Cronulla tussle out Top 4 as the Bulldogs and Cowboys chomp at the bit as darkhorses alongside Manly. Dolphins, Raiders and Dragons battle it out for 8th position as the Warriors and Knights hang by a thread. Bronx, Titans and Souths look like they’ve left their run too late with an Eels and Tigers battle of the spoon looming. We also dive into the Super League Round 19 results, NRLW Round 1 results and an announcement for the RLWC 2026 hosts, before our “Bunker Review” segment where Clarkie and Guildy play some 300-gamer trivia!
