NRL Round 27 Review: From 17 to 8! Here we Go!!
Monday, 8 September, 2025

AJ and Rhys return for the final regular season round of 2025. The top eight have been settled, while the post mortems have begun for those teams who will enjoy finals footy from home. - Were Melbourne right to play Jahrome Hughes. AJ and Rhys spar as they share their reasonings. Plus, the rise of Reece Walsh as Brisbane run riot against the Storm.- Wahs get it done inside 9 seconds, but they were poor in attacking situations and outside of Erin Clark and Sam Healey, offered little. Meanwhile, Manly send DCE out a winner.- Roosters run riot against the Rabbitohs but AJ is concerned about his side heading into September. Plus, some brutal post mortems on some Souths players.- Penrith flex their credentials as questions linger around the Dragons halves conundrum heading into 2026.- Titans avoid the spoon, send Foran out a winner and unearth their future starting 13. Plus, a disappointing end to a season of growth in Tiger Town- Bulldogs lose some bite heading into the finals, but where has their attack been the last few weeks. Cronulla flex professionally their way to a monster victory- Round 2 – AJ v Rhys as we debate whether the 50 point rule still counts given Canberra were playing a de-facto NSW Cup side – we analyse the Dolphins outside back conundrum heading into 2026. - Parramatta show how far they’ve come, despite the columns that have been written critical of their rebuild.
