2026 ANZ Premiership Previews – Round 6
Round 6 of the 2026 ANZ Premiership sees the competition begin to tighten, with important ladder positioning and key rivalries headlining another big weekend of action.
The Ascot Park Hotel Steel sit top of the ladder on the back of a four-match winning streak, while the VIP Frames & Trusses Tactix remain unbeaten at home this season after extending their home winning run to nine matches last round.

Stythe bringing the energy for Steel
It feels impossible not to smile in the effervescent presence of Carys Stythe.
The Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel are certainly reaping the rewards of the infectious energy the formidable defender brings to the team environment – not to mention a few, ahem, funky dance moves.
“I always take a little Jump Jam session on game day,” Stythe chuckles.
“Everyone does it which is really cool because there’s some people in the team who aren’t the most comfortable dancers, especially my dancing. Hey, they still take it on and I think that shows what we are like as a team – just do whatever it takes for each other. It brings a bit of fun.”
