The OG League Super Rugby Pacific 26, Round 10
Redemption, Rivalries, and the Waiver Wire Wizard
Super Rugby Pacific Round 10 saw the table tighten as the heavy hitters collided. The Crusaders continued their late-season surge, the Chiefs reminded everyone of their clinical edge, and the Force proved that their recent form is no fluke. For the founders of the OG League, it was a weekend where 14 years of experience met the harsh reality of the 2026 season; some rose to the occasion, while others were left staring at the “zeroes” on their team sheets.
In a round defined by narrow margins, it was the active managers who found gold, while the rest were left wondering where it all went wrong.

Trades
The Round 9 trade session saw some high-stakes gambling as managers tried to outmaneuver their oldest rivals:
The “Barrett” Gamble: Cargie (David) traded away last week’s hero Franco Molina for Scott Barrett. It’s a bold long-term play, but Barrett sat on the bench this week while Cargie narrowly escaped a scare.
The Highlanders Heist: Nelson Dale pulled off the move of the round, swapping out Nic Shearer for Adam Lennox (71). This move was pure fantasy alchemy, turning a fringe player into a match-winning 71-pointer.
Midfield Shuffles: Harrison Dale swapped Pita Ahki for Dallas McLeod (46), while Wylie brought in Patrick Tuipulotu (32) to add some much-needed weight to his engine room.
The “Lomax” Leap: Nelson also snagged Zac Lomax (27), a move that proved vital in the battle for the top spots.

Round 10 Fixtures:
Leicester We Forget vs. Ofa Tu’ungaFAST & The Furious
Result: 596 - 614 The battle at the summit! Blake (Ofa Tu’ungaFAST) narrowly held onto the #1 spot in a 600-point shootout. Damian McKenzie (75) and Dalton Papali’i (63) were the difference-makers. Harry (Leicester We Forget) put up a valiant fight led by Leicester Fainga’anuku (77) and Semisi Tupou Ta’eiloa (76), but a nightmare -1 from Taine Robinson, and Chay Fihaki being pulled pregame proved to be the literal difference between a win and a loss.
Roigardians of the Galaxy vs. SAMISONIC THE HEDGEHOG
Result: 524 - 606 The “Hedgehog” has found its prickles! Nelson (SAMISONIC) dismantled Nabung in a high-stakes clash. The story of the match was Nelson’s trade activity: Adam Lennox (71) and Anton Segner (74) were untouchable. Nabung (Roigardians) saw strong returns from Jeremy Williams (63) and Cam Roigard (60), but he was left to rue his selection choices. Nabung has now slumped to three straight losses; the group chat is likely a dark place for the former table-leader right now.
Lam & Order vs. Situti Down
Result: 518 - 533 A classic mid-table grind. Cargie (Situti Down) continued his ascent, edging out Sean in a nail-biter. Timoci Tavatavanawai (63) and Bradley Slater (57) led the charge for Cargie. Sean (Lam & Order) was powered by Pete Samu (61) and Sam Darry (60), but a -3 from AJ Lam acted as a handbrake on his title aspirations.
The Toole Shed vs. Expecto-Pa-TRY-trum
Result: 452 - 499 Andrew (Expecto) secured a vital win to keep his playoff hopes alive. Joey Walton (65) and Dylan Pietsch (49) provided the necessary spark. Wylie (The Toole Shed) saw solid production from David Feliuai (54) and Billy Proctor (51), but he was let down by his outside backs, including a dismal combined 9 points from Fehi Fineanganofo & Liam Coombes-Fabling.

The OG League Table After Round 10:
Blake (Ofa Tu'ungaFAST) holds a narrow lead at the top, but Nelson (SAMISONIC) has surged into 2nd place on the back of his trade masterstrokes. Nabung slips to 4th after his losing streak, while Cargie is now mathematically within striking distance of the top three. Wylie remains at the bottom, but the gap between 5th and 8th is now just one big weekend away from disappearing.
