2026 NRL Train-and-Trial + Supplementary Player Analysis
Tuesday, 16 December, 2025

For the third season in succession, AJ and Rhys are back to analyse each club's train-and-trial prospects and those on supplementary deals (formerly development deals). It is a long and lengthy episode but we have made some slight tweaks to the format from previous seasons to ensure that the episode is enjoyable. To make it easier, here are the best attached timestamps so you can fast-forward to a club of your choice to listen to our assessment on junior talent.0:00 Intro4:14 Brisbane Broncos12:48 Canterbury Bulldogs19:28 North Queensland Cowboys28:06 Dolphins35:05 St George-Illawarra Dragons40:58 Parramatta Eels46:33 Newcastle Knights51:55 Penrith Panthers56:27 South Sydney Rabbitohs1:03:06 Canberra Raibers1:07:40 Sydney Roosters1:13:02 Manly Warringah Sea Eagles1:20:00 Cronulla Sharks1:25:50 Melbourne Storm1:31:05 Gold Coast Titans1:35:49 New Zealand Warriors1:40:42 Wests TigersAlso linked into this episode are the show notes, where you can read the same document that we are reading as we go through the mammoth lists. The change in format means we haven’t read every single player bio and analysis as opposed to previous seasons!https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQi-bQZ2cSIJYerWVSZgHueml6PApDMHL7RWb5LJVYRUdfFDagD6G5kq5gGbvfORwFeH9QspEpoNoV5/pub Thanks so much for your support in 2025 and we will see and hear from you again in 2026!AJ and Rhys
