Seven Tackle Set | NRL Supercoach Podcast
NRL SuperCoach 2026: CAPTAIN’S CORNER 🧢 Spicy POD's Emerge!
Round 7 is shaping as a make or break week for captaincy and we’ve got some huge decisions to tackle in this edition of Captain’s Corner.
Nathan Cleary is back in the mix and demands immediate attention, but is he the safe play or is there more upside elsewhere? Sua Fa’alogo is quickly becoming one of the most exciting options in SuperCoach with serious upside if you’re chasing rank. Latrell Mitchell looms as a high-risk, high-reward play in a matchup that could define your round, while Jacob Preston continues to put himself firmly in the captaincy conversation with his consistency and work rate.
We break down the numbers, matchups, role analysis and realistic scoring ceilings to help you decide who deserves the armband in Round 7.
