The NRL Supercoach War Room

SuperCoach has hit the big red button.
The stats provider has changed, prep has been blown up, and the War Room is in lockdown.
In this emergency pod, we break down what actually happened, why it matters short and long term, the key stat changes, and who the real winners and losers are by position.
Most importantly — what you should do right now as a coach.
It’s reactive.
It’s slightly unhinged.
And if you stay calm, this chaos might just be your edge.

Hooker & 5/8 are the decision-makers.
They can anchor your team — or quietly sink it.
In this War Room deep dive, we break down the hooker and five-eighth positions from every angle: role security, base vs ceiling, value plays, traps, and how team systems actually impact scoring.
We debate the must-haves, the risky fades, the mid-range headaches, and which cheapies are genuinely playable — not just preseason noise.
No locks. No fluff.
Just the opinions you need to build a clear plan at two of SuperCoach’s most influential positions.

CTW is chaos.
The deepest and most debated position in SuperCoach gets the War Room treatment.
In CTW: Deep, Deep, we break down listener Scout Reports, fire through CTW tiers, debate value vs regression, base vs ceiling, and identify which CTWs you can actually trust.
From the lone nuke to risky guns, mid-range grinders and cheapies fighting for Round 1 spots — we cut through the noise.
We finish by locking in the War Room CTW Lock, joining James Tedesco on the board.
Rapid-fire opinions. No fake certainty.
Five-star reviews help the pod — and might get you into the Oburg Cup.

The War Room is officially back.
In our first episode of 2026, we launch straight into the most volatile position in SuperCoach — fullback. From elite nukes to mid-price soldiers, we break down every serious option and separate reputation from reality.
We debate whether James Tedesco still belongs on SuperCoach Mount Rushmore, unpack the risk-reward chaos of Reece Walsh and Turbo, and analyse which “safe guns” might quietly win you the season. Mid-rangers like Kini, Fa’alogo, Gray and Fuller go under surveillance, while we call out traps, leverage plays, and ownership pivots.
We finish with our first War Room Lock of the season — one player, full buy-in — plus watchlist targets and rapid-fire takes that could swing early rounds.
This isn’t vibes.
This is preparation.
Lock in. Fullback briefing complete.
