2026 NRL season developments

Entities: Wests Tigers · Parramatta Eels · Benji Marshall · New Zealand Warriors · North Queensland Cowboys

Overview

In late July 2026, coverage focused on the women’s NRLW competition, where the New Zealand Warriors edged the Parramatta Eels 14‑12 after a disputed last‑minute try was disallowed. The win gave the Warriors back‑to‑back victories and moved them up the ladder, while the Eels remained near the bottom of the NRLW standings. The report also noted the St George Illawarra Dragons’ upcoming home game against the Eels.

A week later the attention shifted to the men’s NRL, previewing Rounds 22‑23. The Wests Tigers entered a crisis after a heavy loss and a six‑game skid, while the Parramatta Eels came off a close 24‑18 defeat to Penrith. The preview listed upcoming fixtures across the league, highlighting the Eels’ next challenges and the broader schedule for the season’s closing stages.

On 2 August 2026 the Eels turned the tables, defeating the Wests Tigers 16‑13 at CommBank Stadium. Tigers halfback Adam Doueihi, recalled after a dispute with coach Benji Marshall, scored a try and kicked a field goal to give his side a brief 13‑12 lead, but Eels winger Isaiah Iongi intercepted a pass and ran for the winning try. The loss extended the Tigers’ losing streak to seven games, while the Eels capitalised on the Tigers’ errors to secure a valuable win.
