NRL 2026: Alex McKinnon column, Dylan Brown, Knights, Kyle Flanagan, Dragons, Payne Haas, Broncos, Jonah Pezet, Eels

Any time that you come up against a team that present Dylan Brown, Fletcher Sharpe and Kalyn Ponga as your seven, six and one, you’ve got to be on your toes and it’s a very exciting prospect.
