JB Fantasy Analysis

@SCWhisperer Yes changes should still be coming in SC and fantasy. Scores have changed on nrl app but not fantasy app as yet. I see brailey picked up an assist I think..

As someone who plays NRLFantasy, which runs off the same scoring, I can tell you, that updates in fantasy are still rolling in at 9:30-10am on a Monday morning. “Faster lockout” and “less updates” is like the Monorail in the Simpsons. It’s a false promise.

@Gnr4life1 @SCWhisperer That’s the problem

@SCWhisperer For the whole 2 or 3 weeks Robson is out

“Benaiah is our 9, he will dominate that role.” - Trent Robinson

@SCWhisperer @james1777777777 @SCSpy1 Walsh didn’t get his either for the long range try. These are 50/50 it’s tough. 100% an assist in my eyes the cleary 1..

@james1777777777 @SCSpy1 @Fantasy_Jamie is your man for NRL(.)com scoring. But the way all my fantasy friends have explained it to me, is that not every try will be given a TA, especially if it’s deemed the scorer has done too much work himself.

Bump xx

@SCWhisperer Where was this said?

Jacob Laban ($299k) is set to be rewarded after a standout preseason as he will be named to start on the right edge partnering Kurt Capewell ($440k) for Round 1. Leka Halasima ($502k) is being seen as a utility that can cover centre, edge and middle. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck ($670k) and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak ($402k) will be given every opportunity to find stability on the wings, with Alofiana Khan-Pereira ($541k) set to miss out on a chance to start come round 1.

@ask10inthebin Both Murray (big mins) and garlick come in + fifita. Lots of ins. Hard to see 70 mins a game for Kolo when it isn’t needed early like it was needed when they were short

❓ANTI-POD HAAS❓ A whopping 57%, or 62,172 teams, have locked in Payne Haas at $852k. This is after a career year in 2026, averaging 10 points more than his highest season average. Can coaches start without him, or are the “delete the app” comments fair game? Over the past 5 years, Haas has averaged 76 points between rounds 1-8. He’s been a consistently fast starter, especially in 2025, averaging 95 points in the same period. It’s understandable coaches are heading towards Haas for a safe captaincy option. I’ve had a close look at the position, and the only alternative I can find is Keaon Koloamatangi ($666k). There’s a massive $186k between their prices, or a roughly 20pt average difference. That’s a massive gap between two genuine big-minute props. We got a great sample size of Koloamatangi playing middle without being injury affected last year. In this period, he boasted a massive 80+ point average with consistently high minutes and output. With no new prop signings and no other big-minute props at the club, there’s no reason why this role would change. Leaving the club at the end of 2026, Bennett won’t be looking at preserving his asset. There is a genuine scenario where Haas & Koloamatangi both average between 70-80pts to start the 2026 season. It’s an interesting thought given the massive swing in price and ownership. Are we picking Haas whilst being anchored to his 2025 performances? Are we buying too high and losing out on value? Do I need to delete the SuperCoach app? #NRLSuperCoach #NRL

@SCWhisperer @Gridlocked82 @scplaybook1 @SCSpy1 @NRL_SC_Addicts Yes or usually a bat back then another pass happens. It’s rare to see the bat into a quick put down. I wouldn’t overthink this 1.

@Fantasy_Jamie my go to for all things NRL(.)com scoring and stat allocation, tells me it’s not a simple black and white answer. If a winger bats a ball back to a centre and he falls over the line, then yes a kicker will be rewarded. But usually it’s just the man who bats it back as there is stuff that happens after that initial tap back.

This might seem like an obvious answer but with the changes to last touch gets the TA will the kicker still get the TA or will the tap back from a bomb class as last touch? @scplaybook1 @SCSpy1 @SCWhisperer @NRL_SC_Addicts

@SCWhisperer Let’s go!!!!

In unrelated news, NRL Fantasy is now the number 1 most downloaded app in the last 20 minutes.

@SCWhisperer Yeah we have worked out if you run to the line and throw a short ball both players get the run metres they made seperately, if they pass back to where they caught it then no run

@Fantasy_Jamie Katoa is the “all runs” goat.

I have a very very funny feeling “all runs” on the NRL website is where you need to be looking, not hit ups. I think HFBs will see a MASSIVE bump with this new scoring. 👀

@SCWhisperer Runs is now an even nicer stats than it was last year then

@Fantasy_Jamie Pretty easy to workout If a player has had 10 runs for 90 metres Then is on 11 runs for 99 metres…. That’s a 2 point run

@SCWhisperer This will be interesting. The very odd occasion we would see 2 try assists given for a kick and a bat back for a try. I’m assuming that’s the type of TC that will be given

Try Contributions in 2026….. stay. But with a twist. 🤔

@SCWhisperer Wow

This has MASSIVE SuperCoach implications. NRL Fantasy, using offical NRL stats provider have traditionally counted last pass as the try assist, where as SuperCoach, it’s always been muddy over who gets it. Centres like Latrell and Val, among others could see major uptick!

@SCWhisperer Impressive mate!

@InsightFSports @SCWhisperer @SCSquiddy @SilverTopHurls @SC_Flanders @Mullin_FF @IFSMaverick @SCDeadly @DfabInsight @Secko_IFS @_HAMMER_32 Congrats legends!

🥳 1 MILLION VIEWS 🥳 A cool milestone, achieved in just under 3 years, as we tick over 1 million YouTube views. 🙏🏼 A huge thank you from the whole team to everyone who has tuned in over the last 3 years as we’ve grown from a couple of blokes talking footy to a whole podcast network covering all #Supercoach & #Fantasy Sports. 🎥 Shout out to the legends that get behind the camera & mic multiple times a week to make it happen. This is only the beginning. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 @BrainTalksBall @SC_Mattrix @SCHorse_ @7TackleSetNRL @SurgesSixesBBL @BallLogicNBA

@Diabolicalangle Hahaha I think I just decided I am doing the same thing. Which thunder to drop for the week is the decision. Shadab or Sam’s

@Diabolicalangle Frantic and bbl supercoach - they work well together, what a 15 mins that was. Always when we are busy..

The dust has settled and this is all that I have left! #BBLSupercoach

@SCWhisperer There’s been fake news on Lucas all week, hope this isn’t true

Follower who is apparently at training just messaged me saying Dylan Lucas has left training injured. Absolutely nothing concrete. And it’s just a random message, but weird lie if it isn’t true.

@SC_Mattrix @SCWhisperer @InsightFSports @SC_Brain I see 3 x 25 mins or less guys on that bench. Interesting

I’m scared for owners I hate the bench for Connor Rethink if you’ve got him! #nrlsupercoach #nrl #nrlfantasy

Congrats to everyone who had a great season! 658th for myself with a decent finish. How did you go?

@Diabolicalangle Great work mate another cracking season

Overtaking 507 points in one round is going to be a bridge (and much more) too far, but I am proud to have given it another crack, and I am not about to die wondering. #bblsupercoach
