Seven Tackle Set | NRL Supercoach Podcast

Welcome back to Subscriber Surgery, the weekly segment where we review teams submitted by listeners and break down the moves we would make to improve them.

In this Round 2 edition we analyse real SuperCoach teams, suggest trades, discuss structure decisions, and highlight where coaches are getting things right and where they may be heading into trouble.

From trade priorities to cheapie management and captaincy strategy, we walk through the logic behind each recommendation and explain how small changes can dramatically improve a team’s outlook.

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

Round 1 delivered absolute chaos, and the scores were off the charts.

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.

NRL SuperCoach 2026: CAPTAIN'S CORNER Round 1 Calls

Tom Sangster

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.

In this episode we break down the key SuperCoach decisions in our Buy, Hold and Sell segment, analysing the players coaches should be targeting, the ones worth holding through uncertainty, and the traps that could derail teams early in the season.

We also dive into the cheapie landscape, identifying the must-have options emerging from team lists and early performances. With trades already becoming critical, this episode focuses on where value lies and which moves could shape the opening rounds.

In this episode, SCWhisperer is joined by Aman Talks NRL SuperCoach to break down the biggest day of the SuperCoach calendar, Round 1 Team List Tuesday, or as we call it, Christmas Day.

We dive into shock selections, unknown roles, and a boatload of cheapies that have completely reshaped team builds. With more questions than answers heading into the opening round, we separate real opportunity from early-season noise and help you navigate the chaos.

If you’re finalising your SuperCoach team, this is the episode you cannot miss.
