NRL SuperCoach 2026: R4 BUY HOLD SELL 🔄 Boost Again?

Season 4, Ep. 63
•

In this Round 4 edition of Buy, Hold and Sell, the chaos continues and the big question becomes unavoidable... do we boost again?


With injuries, suspensions and byes hitting teams hard, depth is being tested across the board. Many coaches are now facing difficult trade decisions, with limited options and multiple problems to solve at once.


We break down where trades should be prioritised, which players are worth bringing in, who can be held through the chaos, and whether using another boost is the right move this week.


This is shaping as one of the most important rounds of the early season. and the decisions made here could go either way.


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