Seven Tackle Set | NRL Supercoach Podcast

Round 8 has presented us with some elite matchups to pick from. We talk through them all, from halfback stats against the Cowboys to fullback trends against the hapless Dragons.

We bring you the safe picks, the captains no one is looking at, the risky picks that present plenty of upside and we tell you who to avoid in Round 8 of NRL SuperCoach!

In this Round 7 NRL SuperCoach recap, we run through all the top scorers, shock pods and heartbreaking busts from every game of the weekend so you can separate genuine keeper form from one-week outliers. We break down how the monster scores from Teddy, Latrell and Cleary reshape the captaincy and trade landscape, what to do with red-hot options like Fa’alogo, Farnworth and Sasagi, and whether Jackson Ford’s huge performance is a sign of things to come or a perfect sell-high moment.

We also dig into the cheapies, mid-rangers and popular trade-ins that failed to fire despite the huge round-wide scoring, highlighting which underperformers are clear sells and which struggling guns might actually be buy-low opportunities heading into Round 8. If you’re chasing overall rank, trying to win your head-to-head leagues or just looking for smart SuperCoach strategy after a wild Round 7, this episode gives you the key takeaways, trade targets and captaincy talking points you need before lockout lifts.
