Who are the favourites?

Which players will have the biggest impact?

The 2026 NRL season is over, and it's time to review the teams that failed to make the top eight.I'm joined by the Daily Telegraph's Michael Caryannis to break down every NRL club that missed the finals this season.

We discuss what went wrong, which teams underperformed, the players and coaches under pressure, and what needs to change heading into the 2027 NRL season.

Which clubs can bounce back next year? Who needs to make big changes? And which teams have the biggest questions to answer over the off-season?

We look at the biggest disappointments of the 2026 NRL season and what the future holds for the teams that missed September football.

Before the 2026 NRL season started, I made my predictions for the year. Now that the season is over, it’s time to see just how right — or wrong — I actually was.I revisit my preseason predictions and look back at everything I got right, everything I got completely wrong and the calls that surprised me most throughout the 2026 NRL season.Who did I tip for the premiership? Which teams did I back to make the finals? Who did I predict would struggle? And which players did I expect to have breakout seasons?

Who had the Knights making the GRAND FINAL??? WOW What a season from Newcastle!This is the ultimate 2026 NRL prediction review.LIKE | COMMENT | SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to The Chad Townsend YouTube channel for NRL news, analysis, tips, interviews, player stories and weekly rugby league podcasts.If you like these videos please make sure you SUBSCRIBE!Join BearBet today for all my footy tips and multis throughout the season: https://www.bearbet.com.au/signup/ChadTownsendGamble ResponsiblyJoin FANSCOOP for members only exclusive insights and access:https://www.fanscoop.tv/chadtownsendMY WEBSITE:https://www.chadtownsend.com.au PLAYERS GOLF CLUB - SHOP HERE:https://www.playersgolfclub.com.auTHE CHAD TOWNSEND SHOW PODCAST:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EvFnF9...HUDDLE CONNECT:Huddle connect is an Aussie owned broadband provider delivering high performance internet speeds.
