CAMERON MURRAY
2RF - $548.9k
After only playing 1 game last year, and scoring 20 in a 30 minute stint, Murray enters the 2026 season with a discounted price on his 2024 production. As a result, a recent post shared by the offical SuperCoach page shared that Murray was featured in around 50% of drafts. However, I wonder how much of that comes down to the hype around what his discount *could’ve* been before the prices were released.
His price tag of 550k equates to around a 56 point average, down from a season average of 62 in 2024. This isn’t a very favourable discount at all on the surface, and he also averaged this mark the year prior. A shift in his role encouraged less responsibility with ball in hand, resulting in a bump in his tackle count. He also had a decline in attacking stats, including runs, offloads, and try involvements. An improved Rabbitohs pack doesn’t exactly help this notion moving forward. You would have to be even more sure of his stocks when you factor in the popularity of his teammates, with players like Mitchell, Fifita, Smith, Walker and Graham often featuring in teams. The more of them you start with, the tougher it gets to cover in round 4 when they have the bye.
It is worth noting though, that the two seasons before ’23 and ’24, Murray essentially averaged mid 70’s which would easily establish him as a keeper. I still think he’s a solid option and worth considering, but a 50% ownership would indicate that someone is nearly essential, which I don’t agree with.

FLETCHER SHARPE
5/8 - $730.7k
With dual positions getting more stingy than ever, as 2025’s best in Campbell and likely popular 2026 candidate in Brown becoming halfback eligible only, the 5/8 position is getting more shallow than ever. People like Munster and Walker aren’t getting any younger, also. The most expensive will be Sharpe, and while the price tag is bound to scare some people off, what I think is being underestimated is just how friendly his SC game is. In his time at 5/8 in 80 minute games, Sharpe averaged a ridiculous 48.5 B+P which puts him clear of any other 5/8 in 2025 SuperCoach. Munster finished the season with a 45 B+P average and was the only other player above a 40.
While the Knights’ draw leading up to origin will be well publicised, I think it’s worth noting the scheduling of these games. We can only try project the strength of the teams that the Knights will play at this point, but what is guaranteed is that after their vegas game, they play all their games in the day time leading up to the first major bye round. These conditions, along with an improved offence should supplement the usage that Brown will take on. If I’m wrong and Sharpe’s role is evidently reduced to past the point of return, at least his price tag is insurance to be able to downgrade to the 5/8 of your choosing.

HALFBACK
Jayden Campbell $712.3k
With the loss of his DPP and no longer being eligible at 5/8, it is natural to expect coaches to gravitate back towards the established halfback staples. Cleary and Hynes loom as the clear starting options, with Campbell previously viewed as one of a few viable plays in a shallow SuperCoach position.
While that logic holds, it is worth noting that Campbell’s average in non injury impacted games almost mirrors Hynes, sitting at a 76 average. That alone keeps him firmly in the conversation.
What really elevates his case is the Titans opening draw: Sharks, Dolphins, Cowboys, Dragons at home, Broncos at home, Eels and Warriors before the Round 8 bye. This stands in stark contrast to Cleary’s opening run over the same period, which includes the Broncos, Sharks, Roosters, Eels at home, Storm at home, Bulldogs and Dolphins.
With a new and capable coach in place and Campbell taking a pay cut to remain at the club, there is a strong case for continued SuperCoach relevance in 2026.
Two teams in the top 10 of @SuperCoachNRL aren’t eligible so 11th and 12th have officially finished in the top 10. That includes Myth from @RealmxMythSC@SupercoachSS another one in the top 10 🥳
@SupercoachSS Big shoutout to @teddypayne23 as well who was in and around the top 10 for most of the season
We also at one point (round 23) had 6 of the top 10 overall at the same time. Massive year for the secret society community 🔥
