2026 NRL Tipping

Extra
1

Hey all,
I know @Expensive_Horse5538 burnt out running it last year, so I’m offering to step up to the plate.
I know the season doesn’t kick off in a little over two weeks time, but thought I gauge interest on running it via ESPN Footy Tipping (https://footytips.com.au) this year - and posting a screenshot of the round’s results after each round to keep everyone updated.

Would like to hear your thoughts :slight_smile:

Would I still be able to post my tips here like usual or will it now be through Footy Tips?

I don’t mind either way.

I guess through Footy Tips so it counts it and allows you to compete against everyone else :slight_smile:
You’re still welcome to post your tips here though as you won’t see what others have tipped before the game starts

Polls seem positive about the shift to footytipping.com.au so, competition rules time…

Welcome to MediaSpy’s NRL Tipping Competition for 2026!

Rules

  • If you miss a match tip, you will NOT receive any points
  • Each competition member gets three ‘Joker’ rounds of their choosing. Once selected, you can receive double points for each game you tip correctly. The Joker will only impact YOUR scores, and will NOT double anyone else’s. Be strategic!
  • During Regular Season, a bonus three points is awarded to any competitor with the every game that round being correct.
  • You are ranked by margin. Game one of the first round you will additionally select a margin of how much the winning team wins by. If you are ever tied on the ladder with anybody, the person with the lowest overall margin for the whole competition is ranked higher

Modes

On top of the STANDARD tipping, an optional secondary competiton will run. Longest streak. Available to play under the ‘streak’ tab on the ‘Tip Now’ menu. It’s as simple as it sounds

Make sure you include the exclamation work when you enter the password to enter the competition. I almost fell into the trap when I register for the comp this afternoon.

It was a round of blowouts to open the competition, and the difference came down to the various margins set for the Newcastle V North Qld match.
Apologies if I do ping you and you aren’t in these positions, but leading after round one is
1st @JohnsonTV - Clear of all opposition, 6pts
2nd @sj2450 - Picked the margin for the match perfectly, 5pts (0)
3rd @ElCapitanCranky - Off by two points but couldn’t snag another point to level with 1st. 5pts (2)

That’s this week’s tipping update - make sure to get your tips in for Thursday night’s clash of the Broncos V Eels.
