BREAKING: Maroons selectors are considering handing Briton Nikora his Origin debut. Selectors will continue to meet over the weekend to discuss the potential call which would be a minor shock given his form has been up and down in 2026. 📝 @badel_cmail
Koula on the left edge at Sea Eagles is an absolute tragedy. Has not had one run in Manly’s attacking half. Supposedly one of the best centres in the game, someone let Brooks know.
🐬 Jamayne Isaako | CTW | $678,600 📊 77 PPG 💪 Healthy ✅ Try-scoring role 🎯 26/28 goal-kicking 🤝 Better ball with Trai Fuller 🌂 Elite bye coverage 😶🌫️ POD play 🗓️ 5/6 in QLD 🔒 Set and forget 📈 Upside Jamayne Isaako is quietly putting together a strong season at 77ppg and with his health looking good and high scoring nature of today’s NRL, the SuperCoach output is following. Five tries in eight games is pretty standard for him, but the dead eye dick goal kicking is a huge plus. He’s only missed two all season, which is giving you around 14 extra points a game and creating a strong floor. The key with Isaako has always been health. When he’s fit, the work rate is big, the tackle busts come, and the explosiveness athleticism leads to ample attack. Right now, that’s exactly what we’re seeing, with around 19 runs/game over the last month. The combination with Trai Fuller looks like a genuine plus as well. Fuller’s running threat is forcing defenders to commit and once he gets eyes in, Isaako is getting early ball with space. We saw that on the weekend with the try double. Then you look at the bye coverage & the fact that they barely leave QLD in the next couple of months - they only miss one game between now & Round 21 & play all major byes. That’s about as good as it gets. The matchups in those major bye rounds stack up nicely too with Canberra leaking massive SC points, Roosters down Origin players & Newcastle potentially the same. The BE of 80 means there’s no urgency, so you could wait. But as always, I’m a firm believer in getting ahead of the curve. I’m expecting him to be a staple for supercoaches over the bye period but given the Dolphins have the bye in RD13, he will be an awkward trade-in RD12. My theory is that you can lock him in early with a great matchup this week, a couple of solid scores the following fortnight then focus your origin trades elsewhere. He’s probably not the type you’re buying expecting huge scores every week, but he’s one of those CTWs that can give you solid output consistently with potential upside. For me, that combination of floor, upside and elite bye coverage makes him a very strong POD play heading into the Origin period. #NRLSuperCoach #NRLDolphinsStorm
It's hard getting to the top... but it's even harder to stay there. Who will win the Dally M race for 2026? 👀
