In this episode, the three hosts combine their thinking to reveal the NRL SuperCoach 2026 consensus team — a squad built through debate, compromise, and shared strategy to create the strongest possible structure heading into Round 1.

We explain why each player made the cut, where opinions differed, and how this build balances safety, upside, and ownership leverage. This preview offers a glimpse into the process, while the full discussion and ongoing updates are available exclusively on Patreon.
