The 2026 NRL season is over, and it's time to review the teams that failed to make the top eight.I'm joined by the Daily Telegraph's Michael Caryannis to break down every NRL club that missed the finals this season.

We discuss what went wrong, which teams underperformed, the players and coaches under pressure, and what needs to change heading into the 2027 NRL season.

Which clubs can bounce back next year? Who needs to make big changes? And which teams have the biggest questions to answer over the off-season?

We look at the biggest disappointments of the 2026 NRL season and what the future holds for the teams that missed September football.
