It’s Round 16 of the 2026 NRL Telstra Premiership and we have seven games to look forward to as State of Origin representatives aim to back up for their clubs.<\/p>\n

The final game of the round holds the greatest intrigue. The Roosters and Sharks are locked together on 20 competition points, with the home side hopeful all seven of their Origin stars can return after maximum rest and the visitors potentially welcoming back key cogs Blayke Brailey and Nicho Hynes from injury.<\/p>\n
