Rugby League 26 Unveils the Ultimate NRL XIII in Gaming Glory
Rugby League 26 is finally here, and if you’re anything like me, the first thing you did was dive straight into the player ratings. There’s always a buzz around who tops the charts and who didn’t quite live up to the hype—and this year, the game developers didn’t disappoint. With player stats officially out, we now have the highest-rated starting 13 in the game, and let me tell you, it’s a stacked lineup that mirrors some of the best performers in the real NRL competition.
Let’s kick it off at fullback—this one was too tight to call, with both Dylan Edwards and James Tedesco earning a 91 rating. Whether you're loyal to the Penrith Panthers or backing the Roosters legend, you can’t go wrong picking either one. On the wings, Brian To’o holds his spot strong at 90, and it’s a toss-up between Xavier Coates and Zac Lomax , both landing on 89.
In the centres, Stephen Crichton comes in with a 91, and he’s joined by Herbie Farnworth , who earns a well-deserved 90. Crichton's defensive reads and attacking prowess really shine, even in the digital arena.

Now, the spine. This is where the magic happens. Cameron Munster takes the six jersey with a rating of 90, and he partners the game’s highest-rated player— Nathan Cleary , who stands out with a 93. If you’re looking to dominate the virtual field, this combo will absolutely tear through defenses.
Up front, Payne Haas and Joseph Tapine are your props, both rated highly at 93 and 90 respectively. At hooker, Harry Grant gets the nod with a 91—one of the most dynamic dummy-halves in the league and the game.
The back row is as fierce as it gets. Angus Crichton packs a punch with a 91, while the second row spot is a bit of a carousel— Eliesa Katoa , Liam Martin , Teig Wilton , and Hudson Young all share the 89 rating, giving you flexibility and depth depending on your style of play. And locking it all together is Isaah Yeo , whose rating of 92 is a testament to his consistency and leadership on the field.
What’s great about Rugby League 26 is how well it reflects current form and performance. This isn’t just a flashy lineup—it’s based on real stats, impact, and influence. Whether you're building a dream team or taking your club to the top in career mode, this rated 13 is your benchmark.
It’s also interesting to see how these players’ ratings will evolve throughout the NRL season and into future updates. But for now, this group stands at the top of the digital league, and if you haven’t checked them out in-game yet, now’s the time.
Rugby League 26 didn’t just update graphics and gameplay—it brought the heat with this all-star selection. So load up, take the field, and see how you go controlling the best in the business.
