Jayden Brailey is preparing for his inaugural season with the Canberra Raiders and acknowledges the significant challenge that lies ahead.

The former Newcastle Knights hooker joined the Raiders for the 2026 season, seeking a new beginning. However, he finds himself in a competitive landscape as he vies for a starting position against breakout star Tom Starling and emerging talent Owen Pattie in Ricky Stuart's lineup for Round 1.

Despite the pivotal role played by Canberra's hookers in securing the 2025 minor premiership, Brailey emphasizes that his primary concern is his personal performance, rather than the competition around him.

Anthony Seibold faces pressure as Manly Sea Eagles aim to improve after disappointing seasons.

As the Manly Sea Eagles enter 2026, Anthony Seibold finds himself in a high-pressure coaching position. The team's performance over recent seasons has been lackluster, failing to meet expectations.

The 2025 season proved particularly disappointing for the Sea Eagles. Despite having a roster that seemed capable of securing a top-eight finish, they fell significantly short. While injuries played a role, it's important to note that this is not a valid excuse, especially given the South Sydney Rabbitohs faced extraordinary challenges with player injuries throughout the same period.

However, there's potential for improvement within the Manly squad. After what has been described as one of his least effective seasons, longtime halfback Daly Cherry-Evans will be departing for the Sydney Roosters. He'll be replaced by Jamal Fogarty, who successfully led the Canberra Raiders to claim the 2025 minor premiership, a feat many critics did not foresee at the start of the season.
