NRL tipping, the way your group actually wants to play it
Puntr runs your NRL comp two ways. Go full-season (tip every game, earn points, climb a ladder) or go Last Man Standing (one team a round, win to survive, lose or draw and you're out). You can even run a Last Man Standing side-game alongside the ladder, so there's drama every round on top of the long campaign.
The 2026 NRL season is built in
The full 2026 NRL draw is ready to load, 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 player's own timezone, so a Perth tipper and a Sydney tipper both see the right local time.
How it works
Create the comp
Choose NRL, pick your format, and set your rules. Sensible defaults are ready if you'd rather not fiddle.
Share the code
Drop the join code in the group chat. Players join and make their first pick in seconds.
Let it run
Puntr hides picks until kickoff, applies results, updates the ladder, and knocks players out. No spreadsheet.
Rules you control
- Tip deadline (for example, kickoff of the first game each round).
- Whether a draw eliminates you in Last Man Standing.
- The cooldown before you can pick a team 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 whole extended family. There's a live leaderboard, a full pick history, a chat for the sledging, and online indicators so you can see who's about. It works in the browser, installs to the home screen, and is on the App Store and Google Play.
