Seven Tackle Set | NRL Supercoach Podcast

Cheapie season is officially here. We run through the early cheapie watchlist for the 2026 NRL SuperCoach season, breaking down which players are worth tracking, who actually has a path to minutes, and which names look good on paper but could burn you fast. This isn’t about locking picks yet, it’s about being ready when team lists drop.This episode is part of The Seven Tackle Set, the NRL SuperCoach show from the Insight Fantasy Sports network.Whisperer's Team Reveal:    • NRL SuperCoach 2026: SCWhisperer’s Team Re...  Mattrix's Team Reveal:    • NRL SuperCoach 2026: SC_Mattrix’s Team Rev...  Braino's Team Reveal:    • NRL SuperCoach 2026: Braino's Team Reveal ...  HostsSC BrainInstagram:   / braintalksball  Twitter: https://x.com/BrainTalksBallSC WhispererInstagram:   / scwhisperer  Twitter: https://x.com/SCWhispererSC MattrixInstagram:   / sc_mattrix  Twitter: https://x.com/SC_MattrixSeven Tackle SetInstagram:   / seventacklesetnrl  Twitter: https://x.com/7TackleSetNRLIf you want the full experience and actual weekly edges, our Patreon is where everything lives.Exclusive podcasts and articles, weekly team reveals and trades, subscriber Q&A, consensus position rankings, premium Discord access, and direct 1-1 access to us.Join here:   / join  Insight Fantasy Sports NetworkFind our socials, sponsors, podcasts, and community links here:https://linktr.ee/InsightFantasySports0:00 Intro0:11 Welcome In + Why Cheapies Decide Your Season0:46 Cheapie Watchlist Explained + League Code Giveaway3:55 What Is a Cheapie and Why They Matter More Than Premiums7:06 🔥 Cheapie #1: Josh Patston (Titans Edge Opportunity)12:03 🔥 Cheapie #2: David Fale (Dragons Wing Cash Cow)17:03 🔥 Cheapie #3: Brandon Smith (Bottom-Dollar Bounceback?)22:03 🔥 Cheapie #4: Tom Chester (Injury Risk vs Massive Upside)25:53 🔥 Cheapie #5: Daniel Atkinson (Starting Halfback at 235k)28:46 🔥 Cheapie #6: Ethan Sanders (Raiders 7 + Goal Kicking)32:33 Atkinson vs Sanders: One, Both, or None?33:03 Who Would We Actually Play in Round 1?34:45 Final Cheapie Verdicts + Patreon Plug35:25 Tomorrow’s Show: Fullback Positional Breakdown

The app is open and the numbers are already telling a story. We dive into early ownership trends, the players everyone seems to have locked in, and the ones flying under the radar so far. Some picks shocked us for the right reasons, others raised serious red flags. This is all about first impressions and where the early SuperCoach crowd might be getting it right, or very wrong.This episode is part of The Seven Tackle Set, the NRL SuperCoach show from the Insight Fantasy Sports network.HostsSC BrainInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braintalksball/Twitter: https://x.com/BrainTalksBallSC WhispererInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scwhisperer/Twitter: https://x.com/SCWhispererSC MattrixInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sc_mattrix/Twitter: https://x.com/SC_MattrixSeven Tackle SetInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/seventacklesetnrl/Twitter: https://x.com/7TackleSetNRLIf you want the full experience and actual weekly edges, our Patreon is where everything lives.Exclusive podcasts and articles, weekly team reveals and trades, subscriber Q&A, consensus position rankings, premium Discord access, and direct 1-1 access to us.Join here: https://www.patreon.com/12428569/joinInsight Fantasy Sports NetworkFind our socials, sponsors, podcasts, and community links here:https://linktr.ee/InsightFantasySportsTimestamps00:00 App is LIVE: Ownership shocks from Open Day (Jan 20)02:40 How we’re doing this: Over-owned, under-owned, plus a POD pick each03:11 Over-owned alert: Thomas Flegler at 15% (minutes and injury risk debate)08:01 Under-owned or trap: Cody Walker at 19.8% (price, age, injuries, draw)13:01 Why is Cleary only 16.2% owned (hard draw vs set-and-forget captaincy)19:30 Chronically under-owned: Beau Fermor at 1.1% (role, draw, no Foran angle)24:03 Under-owned POD: Taylan May at 3.6% (Round 1 bye, Round 2 strike plan)29:02 The hill to die on: Selwyn Cobbo as the Dolphins value winger (bounce-back case)34:14 Wrap-up: Drop your biggest ownership shock and your favourite POD
