NRL 2024 ladder predicted: Every team’s results for first six rounds

There is no hiding a poor start to the NRL season can break your club’s year - but there’s a flip side to that coin. We predict every club’s ladder position through the first six rounds of the competition.

Who sits on top of the ladder through six NRL rounds?

Optimism is high at the start of an NRL season but premiership dreams can crumble in as little as six weeks.

According to the NRL’s official season promotion, when the Las Vegas extravaganza kicks off it will have been 13,276,980 seconds since Penrith recorded that remarkable grand final comeback victory over the Brisbane Broncos.

The slate has been wiped clean for the NRL’s 17 clubs and everyone is a winner in February, but the opening six rounds will give us a fair idea of who the 2024 premiership contenders and pretenders are.

Who will bolt out of the gates and assume early premiership favouritism and who is going to be in wooden spoon contention?

The NRL is Australia’s most unpredictable competition and picking the first six rounds before a ball has been kicked is a recipe for disaster.

But who better to take a look at how the first six rounds could play out than last year’s tipping competition wooden spoon recipient, TRAVIS MEYN.
