Quantium Data Analysis: 2025 NRL Supercoach Ownership Stats, Rd 1

Analysing the NRL Supercoach ownership of players across the top teams heading into the last week of Supercoach.

To make life easier when identifying true ownership of NRL Supercoach players, each week we’ll break it down into ranking brackets.

Whether you’re chasing ranks, or playing it safe up top, it’ll help identify the best ways to try and achieve your Supercoach goals.

The tables below sets out the proportion of Supercoach teams in the top 1%, top 5%, top 10% and overall that own each player. 

This season, there are over 150,000 Supercoach teams, so top 1% would be roughly the top 1500 teams, top 5% is the top 7,500 teams and top 10% is top 15,000 teams.

Let’s take a look at the ownership of players heading into Round 27.

Fullback (excluding DPP)

Isiah Iongi was the most owned Supercoach player to kick off the 2025 season with nearly two thirds of Supercoaches picking him.

He saved his score with a late try finishing on 69, which is pretty good in a thumping against the Storm in Melbourne. He had plenty of involvement making 21 runs, and now he has a 3-game run of Sunday 4pm games vs Tigers, Dogs and Manly.

Tom Trbojevic and Kalyn Ponga seem to be the go-to fullbacks this season at 75% and 70% ownership amongst the top 10% of Supercoaches this season.

KP did well to score 82 in a low-scoring affair in Campbelltown, whilst Turbo continued being absolutely unstoppable at Brookvale with 113 points.

Ryan Papenhuyzen was understandably lowly-owned with the upcoming Round 2 bye, but following a score of 131 points vs Eels he could be a sneaky POD play from Round 3 onwards.

CTW

Robert Toia was owned by 92% of the top 7,500 Supercoaches after Round 1 with a 30/70 split starting/benching him.

That % is set to climb as he is currently the 7th most traded-in player for Round 2 following his 92 points vs Broncos – but have those trading him in seen his next opponent…

Reuben Garrick is the most owned, high-priced CTW with nearly two thirds of the top 5% of Supercoaches playing him in Round 1. Manly have a great draw to start and Reuben’s 86 vs Cowboys was just the start of what could be a high-scoring first 6 weeks.

A former must-have CTW, Jamayne Isaako scored 96 points against the Rabbitohs. It looks like the Phins right edge attack might be their most potent in 2025 with Finefeuiaki, Katoa, Herbie, Isaako and the Hammer chiming in.

5/8

Forget the Round 2 bye, it seems the majority of Supercoaches couldn’t help but bring Cam Munster into their team early and he rewarded owners with 99 points against the Eels.

Luke Metcalf was the talk of the town in pre-season, however he could only manage 12 points in Vegas. His 46.7% ownership overall has taken an early hit, as he is already the most traded out player heading into Round 2 with Ethan Strange the most popular replacement.

Ethan Strange was superb for the Raiders in Vegas with 89 points including 3 try assists, and was only owned by 4% of Supercoaches to start the season.

HLF

Sandon Smith and Tom Duffy are the most owned halfbacks in Supercoach but the majority of owners had them on the bench and hopefully not reserved as they scored 50 and 27 respectively.

Daly Cherry-Evans wound back the clock for the 6% of Supercoaches who bought him, scoring 130 points against the Cowboys. With Manly’s draw, he could be a solid POD option for the next 5 rounds.

Nicho Hynes got through Vegas with 50 points against the defending premiers. His draw softens up in the next 2 weeks with the Cowboys and Rabbitohs where he hasn’t scored lower than 74 in his last 3 games against each opponent.

FRF

Terrell May is very highly owned with 77% of the top 10% of Supercoaches owning him. He didn’t disappoint the masses scoring 78 in a low-scoring affair against the Knights.

Payne Haas was only owned by 16% of Supercoaches heading into Round 1, but that might sky rocket as he already the most traded in player for Round 2 following his 104 points against the Roosters.

Emre Guler had a solid start with his new club, the Dragons, scoring 50 points. Priced at $331.9k and at 7.2% ownership, he could be a nice little POD option off your bench that can earn you some cash.

2RF

Corey Horsburgh repaid his many owners with a 61 in Vegas to start the season. With Tapine out for the next 2 weeks, hopefully Big Red will get more ball and minutes in the middle to push his price up.

Lachlan Hubner has surprisingly high ownership at 63% for the top 10% of Supercoaches.

He was solid for the Rabbitohs in his starting debut with 45 points – 35 of which came from tackles. He is giving me 2024 Morgan Smithies vibes, although his reserve grade stats do suggest he has a high work rate.

Isaah Yeo below 15% ownership is crazy to me, he only had 3 scores under 60 last season and started 2025 with 90 points. He is a POD who won’t let you down.

HOK

With Harry Grant up against the bye in Round 2, I get why his ownership is quite low for the start of the season. However, like last season, there wasn’t many stand-out scores in the hooker position for Round 1.

Max Plath scored 83 points in the 2nd row with a try. He also made 35 tackles and made 11 runs, so he could still very well be a top scoring hooker as a DPP.

Peter Mamouzelos was the most owned hooker in Supercoach in Round 1, but I don’t know how much longer he will hold that mantle after scoring 37 in 72 minutes against the Phins.
