In this episode, SC Sister reveals her team for NRL SuperCoach 2026, walking through the basics of team building for newer players. We cover how to approach structure, what to prioritise when selecting players, and how to avoid common mistakes that can trip people up early.

This episode is designed for beginners or anyone wanting a simple, clear explanation of how to build a SuperCoach team without overcomplicating things. We talk through roles, balance, value, and decision-making in a way that’s easy to follow, while still applying the same logic experienced coaches use.

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