Seven Tackle Set | NRL Supercoach Podcast

Cheapie season is officially here. We run through the early cheapie watchlist for the 2026 NRL SuperCoach season, breaking down which players are worth tracking, who actually has a path to minutes, and which names look good on paper but could burn you fast. This isn’t about locking picks yet, it’s about being ready when team lists drop.

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

The app is open and the numbers are already telling a story. We dive into early ownership trends, the players everyone seems to have locked in, and the ones flying under the radar so far. Some picks shocked us for the right reasons, others raised serious red flags. This is all about first impressions and where the early SuperCoach crowd might be getting it right, or very wrong.

We’re breaking down @BrainTalksBall's NRL SuperCoach team as he looks away from the 3 fullback meta loading up at halfback. With a couple of spicy POD's and other anchor safety picks to start the season, there's just enough left of field to create a gap on the competition.

We’re breaking down SCMattrix’s first draft for the 2026 NRL SuperCoach season. He’s taken a completely different approach from Whisperer’s build, with some big swings, some safe plays, and a few picks that will definitely divide the comments. Early structure, cash gen, minutes, and job security all go under the microscope.
