The 2026 NRL season isn’t far away, and there’s so many things to cover before the first game kicks off in Las Vegas, so in addition to bold predictions, Captain Hindsight’s obvious observations, season outcome calculations and a Donkey giving sharp opinions, we offer up our look at one of the NRL’s most valuable commodities with the 2026 NRL Jerseys Ratings with AI Grek Norman.
Our 2026 NRL Jerseys Review goes through every team’s offering in the fashion department for 2026, rated them in order of the average out of 10 for the home and away jersey, and have even got Gurgler favourite AI Grek Norman to run his eye over it all with comments.
Note: we have only included the main home and away jersey of each team, except the Roosters, couldn’t find their away kit. Yes, we know this will be about five short of the amount of jerseys the Wests Tigers and Warriors will release this season, but it will have to do.

DOLPHINS
AI Grek says: Less of the putrid gold/sand colour is a good thing. They fixed up the home jersey last season, and offer up a classy away offering this season, that looks a lot more Redcliffe than Dolphins.
ROOSTERS
AI Grek says: Two new additions of note to the Roosters jersey for 2026, Adidas stripes which look cool, and Daly Cherry-Evans which looks decidedly less cool.
SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS
AI Grek says: The Minties wrapper jersey is back. And not before time.
PARRAMATTA EELS
AI Grek says: Full of retro charm, the Eels will be hoping a trip back in time will lead to a trip back to winning the premiership. From the same era.
WARRIORS
AI Grek says: Aside from that sponsor circle being too big, it’s another quality offering from the Warriors.
MANLY SEA EAGLES
AI Grek says: Double flashback of retro jersey is always good. Home is the 1990’s Pepsi era one, which one associates with Mark Carroll battering people. The other is a nice 70’s / 80’s throwback. Boxes ticked.
CRONULLA SHARKS
AI Grek says: Doing what they can with limited colours. Black away jersey is particularly good.
PENRITH PANTHERS
AI Grek says: Wondering if they are too superstitious to change their jerseys, or I I’m too ignorant to notice the difference. Either way, they still look good.
MELBOURNE STORM
AI Grek says: Better than previous years. Purple is hard to work with. At least the away jersey doesn’t look like it has been worn by Donald Duck.
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS
AI Grek says: Standard home jersey, but great Illawarra theme for the away jersey.
BULLDOGS
AI Grek says: The neatness of the colour flip is good, but the logo has too much real estate.
CANBERRA RAIDERS
AI Grek says: The home jersey looks pretty standard for a Raiders effort, but who wants an ACT Brumbies rip off for a second jersey. Seems silly to kind-of promote another sport with a jersey.
BRISBANE BRONCOS
AI Grek says: Lucky the blue one has more stripes as you could barely tell them apart. The new logo might impress marketing folk, but it’s a meh from me. And many others.
WESTS TIGERS
AI Grek says: Tiger patterns on the sleeves look pretty cool, but it also looks like 1990’s golf shirts. And I’d know.
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
AI Grek says: The bars on the jerseys will act much like the prison for their 2026 ambitions.
NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS
AI Grek says: Still look like Regional Council polo shirts.
GOLD COAST TITANS
AI Grek says: Looks like one of those template jerseys you see on Temu.
