After a divisive week of captaincy calls, Round 6 shapes as a much clearer decision, with all eyes turning to Nathan Cleary. The question is whether you simply take the safe option or look for ways to hedge and gain an edge.

We break down Cleary’s outlook, the alternative captaincy plays, and how to approach the decision depending on your risk appetite and rank position.

This is a week where getting captaincy right could stabilise your season.

In this Round 6 edition of Buy, Hold and Sell, the focus turns to one thing, how do we fix this?

With injuries piling up and only a limited number of trades available, most teams are now dealing with more problems than they can realistically solve in one week.

We break down the key trade priorities, which players need to go, who is worth holding through the chaos, and how to approach decisions when you simply can’t fix everything at once.

This is a week where smart prioritisation matters more than ever.

This episode is part of The Seven Tackle Set, the NRL SuperCoach podcast from SuperCoach Insight.
