Expert Tipping: NRL & NRLW season winners

A hugely entertaining and often unpredictable home-and-away season of fixtures has ended, bringing the curtain down on Expert Tipping for 2026.

A huge thank you to all of our tipsters who participated - and well done to those at the pointy end who were in it right up to the final rounds.

NRL Expert Tipping - results

Congratulations to Lara Pitt for topping the pack by one point in a very competitive field, ahead of Fox League counterpart Braith Anasta and NRL.com's own Andrew Molinaroli.

Incredibly, six points was all that separated Pitt and wooden spooner Andrew Johns after 204 Telstra Premiership matches. 

NRLW Expert Tipping - results

A late charge from Ruan Sims earned her top honours over Lara Pitt by one point.

Peter Psaltis, who was leading the standings going into Round 9, was alongside Bronte Gioiello one further back. The top four were all square with two rounds remaining.

We hope you enjoyed your 2026 season of tipping and welcome you to sign up to NRL & NRLW Tipping in 2027.
