NRL's 2026 season shows surprising struggles for top teams Broncos, Raiders, Bulldogs, and Storm, now ranked 11th to 15th.
2026 was always going to be a different year in the NRL.
Last year's top four - the Broncos, Raiders, Bulldogs and Storm - in their majority came out of the blue.
While the Broncos and Storm were tipped widely to keep on rolling somewhere near the top of the ladder, at the end of Round 15, the clubs are going to sit somewhere between 11th and 15th on the table.
Before Sunday's game between the Titans and Tigers, they actually sit in back-to-back positions, all with either five or six wins from 13 or 14 games.
