The NRL SuperCoach podcast space is crowded — and 90% of it is noise. If you're trying to decide which show to add to your Tuesday night rotation, here's the honest, ranked shortlist of NRL fantasy podcasts that actually move the needle in 2026. We've listened to every one, tracked their weekly cadence, checked what they cover at Team List Tuesday, and flagged where each one fits in your week.
One caveat up front: yes, we're on this list. We've ranked ourselves honestly — but feel free to start at #2 if you want the coverage without the conflict of interest. The other six are all worth your ears.
1. Such Is Fantasy — NRL SuperCoach & Fantasy Podcast
Such Is Fantasy — NRL SuperCoach & Fantasy Podcast
Host: Stephen · Frequency: 3× per round (TLT Tuesday, waiver wire Thursday, round review Monday)
Built for coaches who want a live-reaction Team List Tuesday without the legacy-media filler. Every episode ships with a written article recap on this site, so you can skim the buy/sell/hold calls even when you can't listen. Topics covered weekly: captain picks, trade targets, cheapies, injury watch, VC loophole calls.
The edge: written recaps are indexed and searchable, and paid members get pre-lockout trade alerts via The Coaches Box Discord.
✓ Best for written + audio comboListen: Spotify · Apple Podcasts
2. Seven Tackle Set (Molten Fantasy Sports)
Seven Tackle Set
Hosts: The Molten Fantasy Sports crew · Frequency: Multiple episodes per round
One of the most consistent independent NRL fantasy podcasts in 2026. Strong position-by-position breakdowns (their fullbacks, halves and hookers episodes are genuinely useful pre-season), and the "Captain's Corner" segment has become one of the better weekly captain-pick primers going around.
Where it shines: deep-dive episodes on scoring changes, rookie analysis, and consensus position rankings. Where it's light: no written companion content.
✓ Best for captaincy strategyListen: Acast
3. SC Playbook NRL Podcast
SC Playbook NRL Podcast
Hosts: Tim Williams, "Spy" and the SC Playbook crew · Frequency: Multiple episodes per week in-season
The longest-running independent NRL SuperCoach media brand. Their written content at scplaybook.com.au is the SERP gold standard, and the podcast mirrors it — round previews, team reveals, stats-system deep dives. "Spy's team reveal" is a cultural moment every pre-season.
Where it shines: credibility, cadence, depth. Where it's heavy: episodes can run long, so it's not ideal if you're short on commute time.
✓ Best for deep-dive analysisListen: Acast · scplaybook.com.au
4. The SuperCoach NRL Podcast (official)
The SuperCoach NRL Podcast
Host: Tom Sangster + rotating cast · Frequency: Weekly in-season
The official SuperCoach NRL podcast from news.com.au. Covers Team List Tuesdays, Buy/Hold/Sell, draft strategy, and weekly trading advice. If you're new to NRL SuperCoach in 2026, this is the most approachable starting point — Sangster's format is friendly and the guests are well-connected.
Where it shines: accessibility, guest access, brand stability. Where it's light: being "official" can soften some of the trade calls.
✓ Best for beginnersListen: Apple Podcasts · Omny.fm
5. JB Fantasy Analysis
JB Fantasy Analysis
Host: JB · Frequency: Weekly (sometimes more during BBL/NRL overlap)
A multi-sport fantasy podcast with a strong NRL SuperCoach and Fantasy focus. JB goes deeper on positional analysis than most — particularly halves and backs — and his community is active on Discord. Useful second listen for coaches who want a contrasting take on the week's big calls.
✓ Best second-listen for contrasting takesListen: Spotify
6. SuperCoach 360
SuperCoach 360
Hosts: Burgs, Con and Juzzy · Frequency: Weekly in-season
The people's podcast. Less polished, more personality. SC360 is great if you want a hangout-style listen with teams/players/guests covered week-to-week and listener Q&As woven in. Not the sharpest round-by-round trade-call podcast, but one of the most fun.
✓ Best for community vibeListen: player.fm
7. The Keeper League Pod
The Keeper League Pod
Host: Heff + crew · Frequency: Weekly
If you play NRL SuperCoach Draft (not Classic), this is your podcast. The Keeper League owns the draft-format conversation in 2026, with the "Ultimate Rankings Spreadsheet" as their hero asset behind a Gold/Silver membership paywall. Good pod, narrower audience.
✓ Best for Draft format onlyListen: keeperleaguepod.com.au
How we ranked these podcasts
We scored each show across five factors that actually matter if you're using podcasts to improve your SuperCoach rank: Team List Tuesday coverage, trade call accuracy over Rounds 1–6 2026, captain pick hit rate, information speed (how quickly late mail and team news get covered), and written companion content.
Shows that publish written recaps alongside audio ranked higher — they're more useful mid-week when you're skim-scanning a trade decision. Shows that cover Team List Tuesday live (or within hours) ranked higher than shows that wait until Wednesday to react. And independent voices scored above official/sponsored shows for trade honesty.
The one podcast habit that actually moves your rank
Don't listen to seven podcasts. Listen to one Team List Tuesday episode, one round review, and read one written recap per week. That's it.
Most SuperCoach coaches lose rank not because they didn't hear the call, but because they heard the same call from four different shows and panicked into a bad trade. Pick one primary podcast, one secondary, and one written source — that's the full rotation you need.
