NRL Round 21 2026: Preview, Tips and Best Plays
Through 20 rounds, we're sitting at +57.34 units for the season. Eight games this round and a play on every one.

Starter Squad to Beat — Round 21
Our full Round 21 GameDay Squad benchmark side - the Starter Squad to Beat, broken down pick by pick across every position.

Primetime Squad to Beat — Round 21
Our full Round 21 GameDay Squad Primetime team, position by position, for the Thursday and Friday night-only competition.
For each of the seven positional groups we take the SuperCoach points every club has conceded per game this season, then measure how far a club sits from the competition average at that position in standard deviations. Only clubs more than one deviation out are listed, so a position where every side is much of a muchness never produces a row. Players come from the published team lists, so an edge is only shown when someone is actually named opposite it. Bench and reserve names are excluded. The same numbers drive the full matchup strength table.
Projections, prop hit rates and the full DVP breakdown for every player are part of a 7-day free trial.
