Last year's top four teams may all miss finals, marking a historic first in league history.
They say it's hard to get to the top, and even harder to stay there - just ask last year's top four.
For Canberra, Melbourne, Canterbury and Brisbane, the 2026 top four is out of reach, and there is a big chance all four miss the finals completely.
It would be the first time ever in league history.
It would also be the first time since 1991 all top-four teams from one year miss out on the finals the year after.
According to Code Sports stats, over the past 10 years, in order for a team to make the top eight, they need an average of 13 wins.
