NRL Last Man Standing, the simplest tipping game there is
Each round you back a single NRL club to win. Win and you live to tip another round. Lose or draw and you're knocked out for good. Puntrs drop off week by week until one person is left standing, and that person takes the comp. The catch that makes it strategic: you can't pick the same club twice within a cooldown the game master sets, so you can't lean on the Storm or the Panthers every week. Save your strong teams for the rounds that matter.
The full 2026 NRL draw is built in
Everything is loaded and ready, including the Las Vegas opening round at Allegiant Stadium on 1 March, the regular season from 5 March, and Magic Round later in the year. Kick-off times show in each puntr's own timezone, so a Perth tipper and a Sydney tipper both see the right local time.
How it works
Pick one club
Each round, back a single NRL club to win. That's your only call.
Win to survive
Your club wins, you move on. Lose or draw and you're out for good.
Outlast everyone
Survivors thin out each round. The last one standing wins the comp.
Your rules
- Tip deadline, for example kickoff of the first game each round.
- Whether a draw eliminates you (the Bunker won't save you here unless you say so).
- The cooldown before you can pick a club again.
- How late or missed tips are handled.
- Whether picks reveal as they lock or all at the deadline.
Built for the whole group
Run it for the group chat, the office, or the footy club. There's a live leaderboard, full pick history, and a chat for the sledging. Puntr hides picks until kickoff, applies the results, and works out who's out, so there's no spreadsheet and nobody has to chase tips. It works in the browser, installs to the home screen, and is on the App Store and Google Play. Free, and it never takes bets or handles money.
Frequently asked questions
How do I run an NRL Last Man Standing comp?
Create a comp on Puntr, choose NRL and the Last Man Standing format, set your rules, and share the join code. Your group joins, picks one club a round, and the app handles results and eliminations.
When does the 2026 NRL season start?
The Las Vegas opening round is on 1 March 2026, with the regular season from 5 March 2026. The full draw is built into Puntr.
Can I pick the same club twice?
Only after a cooldown the game master sets, five rounds by default. That's what stops everyone just riding the favourites and makes it strategic.
