Clinton Gutherson	1.80%	$648,700
Trai Fuller	1.80%	$559,400
Connor Tracey	1.60%	$611,200

The most owned FLB in Supercoach, Sua Fa’alogo repaid owners with 116 points in his season debut for the Storm in the #1 jersey.

isaiah Iongi was a surprising pick to be among the top 3 owned fullbacks, particularly at his price of $640k, but nonetheless, he delivered 67 points in a team that scored 1 try and conceded 50 points last week.

Scott Drinkwater and Reece Walsh disappointed their 35,000+ owners with scores of 34 and 21. In Drinky’s defence, he did spend 12 minutes off the field nursing a rib injury.

POD players Tom Trbojevic and Dylan Edwards showed they shouldn’t be overlooked, both scoring a try and finishing with 104 and 85 points, respectively.

David Fale	9.20%	$235,600
Greg Marzhew	9.20%	$611,200
Will Warbrick	8.50%	$413,700

He didn’t play last week, but still boom Tigers rookie Heamasi Makasini is the most owned CTW to start 2026.

Speaking of rookies, Siale Faeamani and Moses Leo both scored in Round 1, repaying the faith to their owners.

Jacob Kiraz shrugged off any injury concern with 99 points in Vegas – at 13% ownership, he could be a nice pick up after his bye this week.

Tolutau Koula and Billy Smith flew under everyone’s radar when looking at centres for 2026.

Both thrived on their team’s dominant edge last week, scoring 80+ points each… and they are both at 1.1% ownership overall!

Jonah Pezet	73.30%	$235,600
Cody Walker	35.40%	$399,200
Cameron Munster	19.00%	$682,200
Ethan Strange	8.90%	$610,600
Fletcher Sharpe	8.00%	$730,700

Sandon Smith	2.60%	$506,200
Daly Cherry-Evans	2.30%	$618,700
Reece Foley	1.50%	$201,400
AJ Brimson	1.40%	$649,300
Te Maire Martin	1.30%	$235,600
Joash Papalii	1.20%	$340,000
Jack Cogger	1.10%	$359,000
Jayden Sullivan	1.10%	$270,800

Just 17 points for the most owned player in NRL Supercoach, Jonah Pezet. Still not worth a rage trade, as he is priced at $235k and just needs a decent score for owners to cash in.

Jaxon Purdue failed to deliver for his 32,000+ owners at centre, despite the Cowboys scoring 2 of their 3 tries down his edge.

He has the Tigers this week in a match-up that has seen at least 60+ points scored in the last 7 encounters. Maybe a hold?

Braydon Trindall stole the show with 132 points! At 6% ownership and not much going on for 5/8s, he looks tantalising…

But not all the glitter is gold. He averaged 43 last season, and I doubt he will be delivering 6 try involvements per game in 2026 with Nicho next to him.

Most Owned Halfbacks

Player Name	Owned %	Price
Nathan Cleary	63.60%	$826,100
Daniel Atkinson	43.80%	$235,600
Ethan Sanders	32.30%	$246,400
Mitchell Moses	22.10%	$543,100
Sam Walker	21.10%	$683,300
Nicholas Hynes	12.80%	$749,300
Jahrome Hughes	6.00%	$631,900
Dylan Brown	4.10%	$535,300
Tom Dearden	3.90%	$637,900
Lachlan Ilias	2.60%	$320,600
Adam Doueihi	2.20%	$556,000
Isaiya Katoa	2.10%	$639,300
Brad Schneider	2.00%	$305,100
Lachlan Galvin	1.90%	$555,200
Jamal Fogarty	1.20%	$667,200
Jack Cogger	1.10%	$359,000
Jett Cleary	1.10%	$201,400
Adam Reynolds	1.00%	$633,200
Ashton Ward	1.00%	$346,200

The majority of Supercoaches went all in on Nathan Cleary, and he spat out 62 points in a 26-0 win over the Broncos.

He will most likely lose a bit of coin, particularly as his B/E moves up to 100 for Round 2, so non-owners resist the FOMO for now.

Daniel Atkinson OR Ethan Sanders was the big question for a back-up HFB, and the Raiders #7 came up trumps with 94 against Manly.

Atkinson has Origin stars outside of him in SuA and Holmes, so owners shouldn’t feel too bummed out by his 32. However, with the Storm this week, maybe keep the R off him.

Nicho Hynes was the star of the round, scoring a monster 131 points against the lacklustre Titans. Just 12% of the comp had him in their team, so kudos to them!

However, with a staunch Penrith defence next up, the point scoring could be short-lived.

Most Owned Hookers

Player Name	Owned %	Price
Harry Grant	38.40%	$606,300
Reed Mahoney	38.20%	$418,100
Brandon Smith	24.10%	$235,600
Benaiah Ioelu	18.20%	$248,900
Blayke Brailey	14.40%	$654,400
Bailey Hayward	12.80%	$343,900
Sam Verrills	6.20%	$538,800
Phoenix Crossland	4.10%	$381,400
Tallyn Da Silva	2.90%	$235,600
Connor Watson	2.80%	$574,000
Owen Pattie	2.50%	$237,600
Ryley Smith	2.30%	$380,500
Ben Hunt	2.20%	$482,400
Wayde Egan	2.20%	$527,600
Damien Cook	2.10%	$526,500
Kurt Donoghoe	2.10%	$497,000
Mitch Kenny	2.10%	$427,800
Tom Starling	1.80%	$547,200
Bronson Garlick	1.60%	$355,800

Harry Grant rewarded his owners with 2 tries and 94 points; however, he scared them when he came off 20 minutes early with a hamstring cramp.

He has been named in Round 2, so hopefully he is back firing against the Dragons.

Speaking of the Dragons, Damien Cook made a crazy 70 tackles as well as a try assist to finish with 105 points. No Jacob Liddle again this week, will see Cook play the full 80, but when he is back, those points (and minutes) will disappear.

The best hooker in 2025 is pretty lowly owned at 14% to start the year. He showed his worth with 82 points against the Titans and is set for a positive price rise if he keeps his form up against the Panthers and then the Dolphins.

Lindsay Collins	2.30%	$414,600

Trey Mooney was enough on club debut for the Knights in Round 1; rewarding his 66,000+ owners with a mighty 94 points.

Other highly owned players, Tom Flegler, Jesse Colquhoun and Tino Fa’asuamaeleaui all couldn’t crack the half-century in their opening games.

Corey Horsburgh was a cheapie-keeper last season, but it looks like everyone forgot about him in the offseason. Big Red scored 75 points in 67 minutes and is only owned by 4.7% of Supercoaches…

Toby Couchman also made a statement with 72 points. Here are some FRFs owned by more than him: Sione Fainu, Ethan Bullemor, and Josh Papalii… A great SuperPOD play.

Noah Martin	10.20%	$250,800
Hudson Young	9.20%	$754,000
Kalani Going	8.50%	$201,400

Noah Martin was only owned by 10.2% of Supercoaches in Round 1, despite winning the right 2nd row spot for the Raiders.

He is playing next to one of the main attacking sparks for Canberra in Ethan Strange and is a noted tryscorer in NSW Cup scoring 15 tries in 19 appearances last season.

Must-have.

The Storm 2nd row duo of Ativalu Lisati and Joe Chan, both balled out with 88 and 87 points, respectively.

They are both sub $310k in price, but with Joe Chan on that right, he has a bit more job security as Shawn Blore will likely take Lisati’s starting position when he is back fully fit.

Viliame Kikau might need to be added to the watchlist after his 98 points against the Dragons.

The Bulldogs’ left side is stacked and will be getting plenty of attacking opportunities in 2026.
