Every round lodged in full before that round's first kick-off · never revised · graded on the final result

The complete record of the ClutchTip engine's NRL predictions for the 2026 season — every single game, wins and losses alike, nothing removed, hidden, or gated. Every round's picks were lodged before the first kick-off of that round — all eight games at once, typically Thursday night — and never changed closer to the game, so nothing here benefits from late team news, weather or market moves that came after the slate was set. Each pick was then graded against the final score below.

How the record stacks up

A hit rate on its own means little. These are the external yardsticks the 2026 NRL record was measured against — a human tipping competition, the best tippers on the official national platform, the betting market's own closing favourite, and other published AI tipsters.

The claim, stated carefully

On every published, verifiable 2026 NRL record we have been able to find — Channel 9's expert panel, the top tippers on the official NRL platform, the most profitable OLBG community tipsters, the Alphr machine-learning model and the betting market's own closing favourite — ClutchTip's 69.1% across the full 204-game slate is the highest — and it was achieved with every round lodged in full before that round's first game, not pick-by-pick at kick-off, a stricter standard than most published records use. We are not aware of a more accurate publicly graded NRL predictor in 2026. If one exists, we would like to see its full-slate ledger, and we will list it here.

Tipping competition

Champion

ClutchTip's picks were entered in a 66-entrant season-long NRL tipping competition against former players, dedicated followers and other systems, and finished equal first after leading the aggregate ladder for most of the year — scored externally by the competition, not by us. Two manual overrides of the engine during the season both lost; on its untouched picks the engine would have finished clear of the field.

vs Channel 9's experts & national tippers

Ahead

On identical scoring rules, the top-ranked tippers on the official NRL tipping platform averaged about 5.55 points per round through Round 22; ClutchTip's comp entry averaged 5.86 (the engine's untouched card 6.14). Against Channel 9's expert panel over the same 27 rounds, ClutchTip's 141 correct finished two winners clear of Brad Fittler (139) and 16 clear of Andrew Johns (125) — the two best tippers on the broadcaster's own board. Fittler's 68.1% is the closest any published human or model record came.

vs the betting market

+7.1 pts

Joined to closing odds on 195 gradeable games, the engine went 69.7% against the closing favourite's 62.6%. It disagreed with the market 36 times and won 25 of them (69%) at an average price of $2.32 — a split random chance produces about 1.4% of the time. The engine sees no odds; it forms its picks blind.

Sources: ClutchTip season ledger (this page); OLBG best rugby league tipsters table (strike rate on the tipster's own selected bets across league and union, so not a full-slate figure); Channel 9 expert tipping panel end-of-season standings (raw correct tips, all games, as at 15 September 2026); Alphr's published 2026 NRL results page (65.2% across 208 tips, 133W–71L, as at 15 September 2026); closing odds from aussportsbetting.com joined to every gradeable 2026 game; our own fitted model backtested round-by-round with training restricted to earlier games. Sample windows differ slightly by source, which is why each record is shown with its denominator. None of this is a promise about next season — it is a measurement of this one.
