In this episode, SC Mattrix reveals his team for NRL SuperCoach 2026, breaking down a build that leans heavily into proven guns, premium scoring, and reliable roles. We walk through why he’s comfortable paying up in key positions, how this structure prioritises consistency, and where the value sits around the edges.

This team focuses on minimising risk, locking in high floors, and backing players with strong roles and scoring history. We discuss where this approach can give you stability early, where it might limit flexibility, and how it compares to the more POD-heavy builds from the other hosts.

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