The Warriors grind out a close win over the Dolphins on Anzac Day — but questions remain about their special jerseys, Herbie Farnworth, and Mitch Barnett.

The Broncos displayed impressive depth and resilience in their win against the Raiders, with replacements and lesser-known players stepping up to fill the void left by injuries.

The Wests Tigers absorbed a rough patch after an Api Koroisau sin bin, then regrouped in the second half to beat the Raiders, with Adam Doueihi leading the charge and concern lingering over Jahream Bula's shoulder injury.

Two rounds in and the NZ Warriors are already turning heads in the 2026 NRL season. Despite losing Luke Metcalf to injury, Tanah Boyd has stepped up brilliantly and given the Warriors a real platform to make a charge at the top of the table — if they can carry that form into their upcoming away games.

After a disappointing regular season that saw us miss the playoffs, the New Zealand Breakers have delivered something special - winning the inaugural 2026 NBL Ignite Cup. As a Kiwi living in Ipswich, this feels like more than just a consolation prize. It feels like a promise of what's to come.
