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.

In this episode, SCWhisperer reveals his current team for NRL SuperCoach 2026, breaking down the structure, key selections, and the thinking behind some massive calls, including a few very low-owned PODs. We walk through why these players have made the cut, where the risk lies, and how much confidence sits behind each decision.

This build leans into conviction rather than safety, with discussion around ownership, upside, and the trade-offs that come with backing players others are ignoring. Expect debate, pushback, and a few selections that won’t sit comfortably with the crowd.

This video looks at potential bounce-back candidates for NRL SuperCoach 2026, focusing on players coming off disappointing seasons who could rebound this year. We break down what went wrong, what has changed, and whether the price, role, or team context now creates value.

Not every bounce-back narrative is real. We discuss which players are worth backing, which risks still remain, and how to approach buying into players after down years without chasing false hope. This episode is about balancing upside with realism.
