•
The NRL Supercoach 2026 season has hit a road bump in the form of injuries and suspensions, with moves to be made, are we convinced in-form New Zealand Warriors duo of Tanah Boyd and Jackson Ford have evolved into genuine Supercoach guns?
Former NRL Supercoach runner-up Tim Williams is joined by the SC Spy and Winston Neville ahead of NRL Supercoach Round 4.

They then discuss the fullback position with their short-terms, including whether to hold or sell Keano Kini, before looking at the most traded in players headlined by Joe Chan, then reveal their trade and captaincy plans for Round 4.
