Round 5 presents a heavyweight matchup, with Cleary and Fa’alogo going head-to-head in a tough contest. With both facing resistance, this may be the week to look elsewhere for an edge.

We analyse the key captaincy options, including Turbo, Herbie, and Reece Walsh, along with a range of alternative plays that could separate you from the pack.

If you’re chasing upside or looking to avoid the obvious traps, this is a crucial captaincy week.

After a chaotic start to the season, Round 5 feels like a pivotal week where there are multiple directions coaches can take, but none of them feel completely safe.

We break down the key trade targets, who is worth holding through uncertainty, and which players may not be worth the risk. With teams now stabilising, the big question becomes how aggressive you should be and whether it’s worth using another boost.

This is a week where decisions could shape your season… for better or worse.

In this Round 3 edition, we break down the biggest issues appearing in listener teams and the trades that could fix them. A major talking point this week is whether Sua Fa'alogo is becoming a must-have option, and how coaches should approach the growing cheapie value across the competition.

Many teams are now facing a fork in the road, do you trade out guns to chase cash generation, or risk missing the growth entirely? We walk through the decisions we’d make, where teams are going right, and where things may already be heading off course.

In this week’s Rage Trade Sunday, we react to the biggest talking points from the opening round of NRL SuperCoach 2026. With referees handing out six-agains everywhere and attacking footy flowing, the scoring exploded across the competition.

We break down the key performances, including Tom Trbojevic turning back the clock to 2021 with another monster score, and discuss what the high-scoring environment means for trades, captaincy, and team structure moving forward.

Captaincy can make or break a SuperCoach round, and in 2026 it finally gets its own show.

Welcome to Captain’s Corner, where we break down the best captaincy options each week and help you decide where to place the armband. For Round 1 we look at the elite options, compare the safest plays with the bold picks, and identify the risky captains that could burn coaches early.

If you want to maximise your weekly score, getting captaincy right is crucial, and this is the show designed to help you do it.

We dive into the Knights’ spine and whether Kalyn Ponga is becoming a must-have, assess whether Zac Kiraz can be trusted, and examine Crichton’s role on the left edge. We also unpack the Cowboys bench and what it could mean for Reed Mahoney, along with discussion around Toby Couchman, Sete Tu, and Luciano Leilua’s scoring outlook.

With Round 1 fast approaching, this episode focuses on what’s real, what’s noise, and where coaches need to adjust.

Not every cheap price leads to a breakout. We discuss which underpriced players have genuine reasons to improve, where the risk still lies, and how to approach buying into value without chasing points from last year. This episode is about identifying upside early and understanding when the price is actually wrong.

This episode is part of The Seven Tackle Set, the NRL SuperCoach podcast from SuperCoach Insight, formerly Insight Fantasy Sports.

We break down why these players stand out, what we love about their situations, and what could still change as the preseason unfolds. This isn’t about locks or guarantees, it’s about conviction, comfort, and the players we’re happiest to build around early.

Hooker is one of the most important positions to get right in SuperCoach, and one of the hardest to predict. We discuss minutes, role changes, price points, and bounce-back candidates, including whether the top-end hookers are worth paying for or if there’s value to be found elsewhere.
