SuperCoach

What SuperCoach is

SuperCoach is a salary-cap fantasy game. You get a budget and pick a squad; each player has a priceand earns SuperCoach points each round on how they actually played. As players rise and fall in price you trade to bank cash and upgrade. Three things drive everything: how a player scores, how their price moves, and how many points they're projected to score next.

How points are scored

NRL SuperCoach scores come from Champion Data's base statistics — every meaningful action on the field carries a points value, added up live. Unlike a simple try-and-goal tally, it rewards the full contribution of forwards and playmakers, not just scorers.

You're rewarded for:

• Tries, try assists, line breaks and line-break assists
• Tackles, tackle breaks, offloads and forced drop-outs
• Run metres, kicks/goals and other attacking involvements

and penalised for:

• Errors (handling/ball control) and missed tackles
• Penalties conceded and being sin-binned / sent off

A score near 50 is solid; gun forwards and halves push 70–100+. The system is deterministic — the same stat line always gives the same score. It's clean enough that we can reconstruct it from the box score exactly(R² = 1.00), so the values are fully transparent.

How prices move

A player's price tracks recent scoring — SuperCoach divides points by a “magic number” and updates off a rolling average of the last few games, so price chases form. The key trading idea is the breakeven: the score a player must post to hold their price. Beat it and they rise; miss it and they fall. Cheap players who keep beating their breakeven are cash cows — buy low, let them make cash, sell before they plateau. Our Prices page tracks round and season price change and flags the cash cows.

Positions

Players are classified by position — FLB (fullback), CTW (centre/wing), 5/8, HFB(halfback), HOK (hooker), FRF (front row) and 2RF (second row). Some hold two, giving handy trade flexibility. We show every player's position(s) throughout.

What the metrics mean

Price

Current SuperCoach salary. Rd $ / Szn $ are the change this round and across the season.

Proj

SuperCoach's own projected score for the upcoming round.

Avg / L3 / L5

Season average, and the average of the last 3 and last 5 games.

Form

L3 average minus season average — positive means heating up.

Consist

100 × (1 − SD ÷ mean) over games played; higher = fewer cheap weeks.

Own%

Share of teams holding the player. Differentials are low-owned, high-projection players.

Value

Projected points per $100k of price — best bang for your salary.

v Opp / @ Ven

The player's historical average against this round's opponent and at the venue.

Where the data comes from

All figures are pulled live from SuperCoach's public feed and refreshed through the week (prices settle after each round). We add the derived metrics — value, form, consistency and the sparklines. This is an independent stats resource and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by SuperCoach or the NRL.
