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.
