NRL Women Tips & Preview | Round 1

• Nick Tedeschi
The NRLW season kicks off on Thursday night and what a stellar season we have to look forward to with plenty of player movement making 2026 one of the most exciting yet. Cronulla Sharks Women vs Newcastle Knights Women 9:45pm Thursday | Ocean Protect Stadium, Sydney Under 38.5 ($1.90) The NRLW season opens up with the Sharks hosting the Knights and it is a match that should be a hard-fought defensive battle. Teams were generally very slow to fire with their attack in Round 1 last year with only one match topping 38 points. The Sharks and Knights have met…

This is your weekly dose of NRL truth-telling, as tipster and rugby league raconteur Nick Tedeschi tears through the good, the bad and the indefensible, with absolutely no regard for bruised egos. We Will Never Forget Laurie Daley Few television programs in history were as poignant or as poetic as the classic coming-of-age drama The Wonder Years.

One day you’re in diapers,…

• Nick Tedeschi
We have a full slate of games with all the State of Origin stars on hand and it is a compelling weekend of games that will have a major bearing on the finals hopes of a number of teams including Melbourne, Canterbury and Brisbane sitting out of the Top 8 and looking in. Parramatta Eels vs South Sydney Rabbitohs 9:50pm Thursday | CommBank Stadium, Sydney South Sydney -6.5 ($1.96) Parramatta have been far more resolute of late but it is impossible to look past South Sydney’s domination of the Eels when tackling this game. Souths have won the last three…

This is your weekly dose of NRL truth-telling, as tipster and rugby league raconteur Nick Tedeschi tears through the good, the bad and the indefensible, with absolutely no regard for bruised egos. The First Change That Should Be Made For Origin III Is A New Coach The decision to rehire Laurie Daley was an objectively moronic decision by the NSWRL and one that should have immediately seen the entire board sacked and Dave Trodden driven to the Victorian border and warned that there would be dire consequences if he was to ever find himself north of the Murray. Daley was…
