NRL Supercoach Round 4 — Solo Trade Chaos, Team Lists & Captaincy Calls
Chris is missing this week — and Ryan's theory is pretty simple: he probably didn't want to jump on after Ryan outscored him 😭
So this week's Fantasy Files is a solo pod, with Ryan ripping through every team from the official NRL Round 4 team lists and breaking down the SuperCoach names that actually matter. The NRL's Round 4 lists were published on 25 March 2026, and they still reflect the new setup where clubs can name six players on the bench but only four can enter the game, which Ryan reckons is already impacting minutes, roles, and scoring early in the season.
We get into:
* Ryan's solo trade plan for Round 4
* the key SuperCoach players from every team
* the best buy / hold / sell calls
* injury hits and late team-list implications
* how the early rule changes are affecting scores
* the best captaincy options for Round 4
* why it's time to use those boosts
* and why you still need to save a couple for Rounds 7 and 8
Cap or Fact: if you're not boosting around Round 4, you're already behind.
Drop your trades in the comments: Who's your best buy, biggest sell, and who gets the captain's armband this week? Tell Ryan if he's building nicely… or absolutely cooked.
This week on Tackles & Tinnies, Ryan and Chris are officially at that point of the season where patience starts disappearing and the boost button starts looking very, very attractive.
For Round 3, the boys are ready to pull the trigger on three trades — but for very different reasons. Ryan's got money in the bank and is working through a smart 2–3 week restructure to fix the balance of his side, while Chris is fully locked in on the negative breakeven brigade and wants to jump early before the cash starts flying.
So now the big SuperCoach questions hit:
who's a hold,
who's carrying a massive breakeven and becoming a sell,
and which blokes are about to make serious cash if you move now?
On top of the trade chaos, the boys also break down the best captaincy options for Round 3 — safe plays, ceiling plays, and the guys who could either win you the week or absolutely bury you.
We get into:
* why both boys are ready to activate the boost
* Ryan's plan to fix his team structure over the next 2–3 weeks
* Chris chasing the best negative BE cash cows and value buys
* the biggest hold / sell / buy calls heading into Round 3
* which players are about to make bulk cash
* the dangerous trap of chasing points too hard
* the premium guns with a big breakeven and real sell pressure
* Round 3 captaincy options: safest picks vs high-upside plays
* whether aggressive trading early is smart… or just pure emotional damage
* the moves that could set up your season — or completely cook it
Cap or Fact: using your boost in Round 3 is the smartest way to get ahead of the pack.

Who's your best buy, who's your biggest sell, and who are you captaining this week? Tell us if Ryan and Chris are seeing it clearly… or completely cooked.

NRL Supercoach Round 2 - 🎧 News Around the Grounds + SuperCoach Trade Chaos (Ryan x Chris)
This week on Tackles & Tinnies, Ryan and Chris rip through the biggest news around the grounds before diving headfirst into the weekly SuperCoach addiction spiral.
We get into the noise around the Brisbane Broncos — what the Payne Haas situation means for the club, whether the pressure is starting to show, and how much of Brisbane's issues are actually footy… versus everything happening around them.
Then we talk the build-up to Rabbitohs vs Roosters, the hype around Alex Johnston's record chase, and whether fans storming the field would be an all-time moment… or an all-time disaster.
Then it flips into full SuperCoach mode.
Ryan and Chris break down the key players to:
* trade
* buy
* hold
* watch
There's talk around blokes like Jacob Laban, Jonah Pezzet, and Daniel Atkinson, plus the bigger question every coach is asking right now: when do you stay patient… and when do you feed the addiction and make the move?
Ryan's dangerously close to a full rage trade + boost week, and Chris is doing his best to figure out whether it's strategy… or pure emotional damage.
Cap or Fact: most SuperCoach coaches ruin their season in the first month by chasing points and trading angry.
Drop your trade plans in the comments — who's a buy, who's a sell, and is Ryan completely cooked for wanting to boost already?
