Is your SuperCoach team ready for Origin? Because if you're not planning RIGHT NOW, you're already behind. 😤

In this video, SC Brain & SC Matrix break down EVERYTHING you need to know about the 2024 NRL SuperCoach buy period - which teams to target, which stars to trade OUT (yes, even the big guns), and how to absolutely DOMINATE rounds 12 through 19.

⚡ We cover:

✅ Major buys vs mini buys - and why people get BURNT by rounds 13, 16 & 19

✅ Why Latrell Mitchell could be your secret weapon to SELL

✅ The ONE CTW you MUST own through this period (hint: he just dropped 100 on the Panthers)

✅ Broncos, Panthers & Souths players to hold vs trade

✅ Strength of schedule breakdown - who to TARGET and who to AVOID

✅ How to gain 20,000+ ranks during Origin

Whether you're an overall player, head-to-head, or both - this episode will change how you approach the next 6 weeks. Don't get caught short. 🔥

Round 8 is done and your SuperCoach season might have just shifted. We are back with the full live recap covering every game of the round, every big score, every tank job and everything you need to know heading into Round 9.

Captains came through across the board with every popular armband pick cracking triple figures, giving coaches the perfect platform for a massive round. But the standout score of the week belonged to Dylan Edwards, whose super pod status was well and truly justified with a 150-plus point performance that topped the competition and separated the coaches who backed him from those who did not.

Scott Drinkwater continues to be the must-have fullback in the game. Another dominant display puts him at the top of the FLB conversation and if he is not in your squad, you need to ask why. At FRF, Alex Twal and Jackson Ford put together a combined performance that has the SuperCoach community talking and has both names firmly in the frame for NSW Blues selection.
