In this episode, SC Brain reveals his team for NRL SuperCoach 2026, walking through the structure, key selections, and the thinking behind some bold calls and low-owned POD picks. We break down why these players are in, where Brain is leaning into risk, and how this build differs from more popular setups.

This team prioritises upside, ownership leverage, and role-based value, with discussion around which selections could separate you from the pack and which ones might test your nerve. Expect strong opinions, pushback from the other hosts, and plenty of debate.

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