The NRL Losers Belt · current holder
Cronulla Sharks
Cronulla Sharks picked it up on September 19, 2026, losing to Sydney Roosters 46–10. To get rid of it, they have to win a game.
Same schedule, same rules, flipped: the Losers Belt passes to whoever loses to its holder. It's the crown nobody wants, and some teams have worn it for years. It started on March 2, 2017, when Cronulla Sharks lost to Brisbane Broncos.
