In this episode, AmanTalks joins the show to reveal his team for NRL SuperCoach 2026, walking through a balanced, well-thought-out build focused on structure, role security, and smart salary cap use. We break down how his approach differs from the hosts, where he prioritises safety, and where he’s still willing to take calculated risks.

This team isn’t built around extremes. Instead, it leans into balance, flexibility, and making solid decisions across every position. We discuss the reasoning behind his selections, what he’s most confident in, and which parts of the team are most likely to evolve as the season approaches.

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

This is a short preview from our latest Patreon-exclusive episode, where we dive into the growing fullback chaos for NRL SuperCoach 2026. With prices high, roles unclear, and confidence low across the position, we explore whether the traditional fullback-heavy build still makes sense.

The discussion pivots into alternative structures, including the case for Nicho Hines at low ownership, where risk should actually be taken in 2026, and how one key structural fork can completely change the rest of your team. This clip gives a snapshot of the thinking, without giving away the full build.

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.
