The Dolphins 2026 season review is here! Was this the start of a successful run for the Dolphins, or will this season go down as a one-off? We break down their year, including the worrying defensive performances that saw them concede 52 and 66 points at Redcliffe, and whether their forward pack has what it takes to compete with the best. There were plenty of positives in the backline, with Selwyn Cobbo returning to form, Herbie Farnworth putting together a phenomenal season, Max Bostock earning an Origin debut and Jamayne Isaako continuing to deliver consistently. But is there enough across the squad to take the next step? We also name our Dolphins Player of the Year and look at what needs to change heading into 2027. Can the Dolphins turn their potential into sustained success, or are there still too many question marks? Tune in to League of Inches for our full Dolphins season review!

The NZ Warriors finished equal first after the regular season, had the Wahs Nation firing, and looked like genuine premiership contenders… so how did it all end in straight sets? We review the Warriors' 2026 campaign, debating whether going out after two home finals is a failure, how much their struggles in the halves held them back, and whether they missed a golden opportunity to go all the way. We also discuss JFH's leadership, Leka's emergence as a centre, and the battle for the fullback jersey — has Taine Tuaupiki done enough to become the clear number one? Was 2026 a successful season for the Wahs, or a missed opportunity? Let's get into it!

The Cronulla Sharks were out of the finals after finishing the year with just 2 wins from their final 7 games, but is this season a step forward or another missed opportunity for the Sharks? On this League of Inches Season Review, we break down Cronulla's 2026 campaign, assess the halves dilemma and debate whether this squad has what it takes to genuinely challenge for a premiership. We also put the forward pack under the microscope, with big names like AFB and Briton Nikora delivering inconsistent performances throughout the year. Have the Sharks hit their ceiling, or is there enough talent in this squad to take the next step in 2027? We discuss where Cronulla are at, what needs to change and what the future holds for the Shire. Subscribe to League of Inches for more NRL season reviews, news, opinions and footy debate!
The South Sydney Rabbitohs had a season filled with emotion, controversy and plenty of questions, but did it all catch up with them when it mattered most? On this episode of League of Inches, we break down the Rabbitohs' 2026 season, including how the club handled the incredibly emotional period surrounding Jai and his family. We look at Cody Walker’s turnaround after some costly moments on the field, Latrell Mitchell’s outstanding form before his back injury, and whether South Sydney’s lack of quality in the spine ultimately proved to be their downfall. Cameron Murray and Keaon Koloamatangi were two players who stood tall throughout the year, but was it enough? And after such an emotionally charged season and an incredibly difficult few weeks, did it finally catch up with the Bunnies on the weekend?
