 The New Zealand Warriors forward has surged to the top of the 2026 Dally M Medal standings as the surprise early leader following two commanding performances in the Warriors' wins to open the season. He's the only player with maximum votes across the opening rounds so far, showcasing his workhorse style in the middle. In Round 1 against the Roosters (Warriors 42-18 win), Ford was awarded the full 6 Dally M points for a mammoth effort: 22 runs, 218 metres gained (game-high), 112 post-contact metres, and 28 tackles (team-high). He was dominant upfront and helped set the tone for the victory. Then in Round 2, he backed it up with another strong showing — including scoring this EPIC try! 

 The NRL Telstra Premiership Ladder after Round 2 (2026 season) shows a strong start for several teams, with the top six all on 4 points but separated by points difference. The Melbourne Storm lead convincingly with an impressive defensive record and big wins, while the New Zealand Warriors and Penrith Panthers also remain unbeaten. Teams with a bye (like Wests Tigers and Bulldogs) sit high despite playing fewer games. Lower down, several sides are still searching for their first win or consistency. Here's the current standings (sourced from official NRL and reliable updates as of mid-March 2026):

  South Sydney Rabbitohs legend Alex Johnston has etched his name into rugby league immortality. In a packed Allianz Stadium showdown against the Sydney Roosters, the 31-year-old winger broke the all-time NRL try-scoring record — a mark that had stood for over five decades. Johnston entered the game needing just one try to equal Ken Irvine's long-standing record of 212. He got there in the first half with a sharp finish off a Latrell Mitchell flick pass. Then, just one minute into the second half, he exploded down the left edge for a brilliant coast-to-coast runaway try — his 213th in the NRL — surpassing Irvine and claiming the crown as the greatest try-scorer in Australian rugby league history. The scenes were electric. Fans ignored warnings and stormed the field in wild celebration, swarming Johnston and his teammates in a sea of red and green. Even reports suggest the Australian PM joined the chaos on the pitch. The game paused amid the joy, a fitting tribute to one of the game...

Broncos skipper Adam Reynolds was forced off late in their recent loss to the Eels after a heavy direct hit to the ribs — the classic mechanism for one of the most painful injuries in rugby league. Rib issues hurt like hell because every breath and twist aggravates them. Players often call it sharp, stabbing pain that's tough to shake. The good news? Scans showed no fracture — just cleared of any break. That makes it mainly a pain management case rather than needing full bone healing time. Without a fracture, it's often about controlling the pain and protecting the area. Many players bounce back fast with: Pain meds Injections if needed Extra padding or taping Reynolds is hoping to push through with padding and pain relief, and he's set to resume contact training ahead of the big clash with Melbourne. Players in similar spots frequently return the next week, though pain can sometimes force 1–2 games off, and there's always a higher risk of making it worse. If it had bee...

There were plenty of eyebrows raised when the Knights picked $13m man Dylan Brown at halfback for their season opener, but the way the game is evolving is proof it can work. Any time that you come up against a team that present Dylan Brown, Fletcher Sharpe and Kalyn Ponga as your seven, six and one, you’ve got to be on your toes and it’s a very exciting prospect.
