2026 NRL Train-and-Trial + Supplementary Player Analysis
Description
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).

Also 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!
