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.

In this Round 7 edition of Buy, Hold and Sell, we break down the key trade decisions shaping SuperCoach teams, headlined by the big question, is Chan no longer the man?

We analyse current trade trends, highlight the players worth targeting, and discuss whether it’s time to move on from popular options. With new opportunities emerging, we also look at whether going early on players like Lisati is worth the risk, and how to use cheapies to unlock upgrades.

This is a week where smart moves can create separation, and the wrong ones can set you back.

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

After a divisive week of captaincy calls, Round 6 shapes as a much clearer decision, with all eyes turning to Nathan Cleary. The question is whether you simply take the safe option or look for ways to hedge and gain an edge.

We break down Cleary’s outlook, the alternative captaincy plays, and how to approach the decision depending on your risk appetite and rank position.

This is a week where getting captaincy right could stabilise your season.
