The final instalment of Magic Round 2026 features the top two sides on the NRL ladder looking to flex their muscle and the bottom two sides determined to give their fans hope by starting the long climb back.
We launch our Sunday feast with the Titans (2-7) squaring off the dangerous Knights (6-4) who are ready to unleash Kalyn Ponga, Bradman Best, Dylan Brown and last week's five-try hero Greg Marzhew.
Up next it's the Warriors (7-2) and Broncos (5-5) doing battle, with the men from Auckland certain to have massive support among the boisterous Suncorp crowd.
The premiers have conceded 70 points across the past fortnight and more defensive lapses could prove fatal against the Wahs.
The final game of Magic Round features table toppers Penrith and the last-placed Dragons, a clash that pits runaway Dally M leader Nathan Cleary against the recalled Kyle Flanagan.
Like many of his embattled teammates, Flanagan is a man with a point to prove, but the assignment doesn't get any tougher than trying to contain the Panthers.
