NRL Supercoach Round 4 — Solo Trade Chaos, Team Lists & Captaincy Calls
Chris is missing this week — and Ryan’s theory is pretty simple: he probably didn’t want to jump on after Ryan outscored him 😭 So this week’s Fantasy Files is a solo pod, with Ryan ripping through every team from the official NRL Round 4 team lists and breaking down the SuperCoach names that...

Supercoach - Round 3: SuperCoach Trade Chaos + Captaincy Calls (Ryan x Chris)
This week on Tackles & Tinnies, Ryan and Chris are officially at that point of the season where patience starts disappearing and the boost button starts looking very, very attractive. For Round 3, the boys are ready to pull the trigger on three trades — but for very different reasons. Ryan’s got...

Tackles and Tinnies - E41 - Brisbane Broncos 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Broncos were box office in 2025 — 4th, 15 wins, +172, and they could score from anywhere. The problem? The defence wasn’t always on the same level as the highlights, and that’s the difference between “contenders” and “hold the trophy.” In this episode, Ryan breaks down the 2025 story properly…
more -
Tackles and Tinnies - E40 - Melbourne Storm 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
Melbourne were still pure premiership tier in 2025 — 2nd, 17 wins, +212… best differential in the comp — and it still stung because they didn’t finish the job. The vibe all year was simple: Bellamy’s still got it… but the spine couldn’t stay fully healthy together when it mattered. In this…

SuperCoach 2026 — Team Reveal #3 (Ryan's "Spend Big Everywhere" Build)
Ryan's team reveal #3 is live, and he's gone with a strategy that’s either elite… or criminal. The plan: spend big in almost every position so I’ve got maximum flexibility when the price changes hit. I don’t want to be trapped holding mid-rangers — I want options. The big swing? I’ve gone super...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E39 - Canberra Raiders 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Raiders were the 2025 minor premiers — and now the question is simple: was that the ceiling… or the new standard? In this episode of our 17-part 2026 NRL mini-series, Ryan breaks down how Canberra got to 1st (19 wins) and why 2026 might be the year they turn “regular season bullies” into the...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E38 - Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Bulldogs in 2025 were one of the most fascinating watches in the comp — because the footy was improving… but the identity kept getting rewired mid-season.In this episode of our 2026 team-by-team mini series, Ryan breaks down the Dogs’ 2025 and asks the big question: did they change too much,...
-
🎧 SuperCoach Draft Review 2026 — Team-by-Team + Rounds 1–3 Breakdown (12-Team League)
It’s draft season and Ryan’s done the full autopsy. In this episode, he goes team-by-team through all 12 coaches and breaks down the first three rounds of picks — player by player — to see who actually built a weapon… and who’s already cooked before kickoff. This is a proper draft board…

Tackles and Tinnies - E37 - South Sydney Rabbitohs 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
NOTE**: This epsiode with filmed on the 24/1/26. The Payne Hass bombshell has dropped in recent days so please be wary that we don't speak about this on the Pod for this epsiode. We will deep dive this conversation point when the Brisbane Broncos preview/ review drops. Nonetheless, Souths…

Tackles and Tinnies - E36 - Wests Tigers 2025 Review & 2026 Preview ft. Chris
The Tigers were way more watchable in 2025 — the attack had more shape, Leichhardt/Campbelltown actually felt like an advantage again… but the same old story popped up late in games: game management falling apart when it mattered. In this episode of our 17-part 2026 NRL mini-series, we dig into…
more -
Tackles and Tinnies - E35 - Cronulla Sharks 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Sharks had a strong 2025 on paper — 5th, 15–9, +109, with a top-6 attack and top-4 defence… but it still felt like classic Cronulla: flat-track bullies against the bottom half, then just not killer enough against the elite. They did go on a legit finals crack — beat the Roosters (Week 1) and...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E34 - New Zealand Warriors 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Warriors were right in the mix in 2025 — 6th with 14 wins — and “Up The Wahs” wasn’t just a meme, it was a weekly mood. But 2026 is the real test: can they back it up when the comp tightens and the close games swing the other way? Because the data-led read we’re working off has them as a...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - Supercoach Team Reveal (Jake)
SuperCoach 2026 Team Review (90-Min Monster) ft. Jake & host, Ryan. We’re back, legends — and we’re starting 2026 the only way we know how: ripping into a full SuperCoach team build with Jake. This one’s a 90-minute monster where we go position-by-position, player-by-player, and actually explain...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E33 - Penrith Panthers 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
Penrith finished 7th in 2025… and somehow still felt like the team nobody wants to see in September. In this episode of our 2026 NRL mini-series, Ryan breaks down what actually went wrong (and what still screams “system club”) — because the Panthers don’t do chaos, they do standards. We get into:...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E32 - Sydney Roosters 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Roosters were good enough to sneak into September… but 2026 is where the pressure cranks. Because if you add DCE + Reece Robson to a spine that already has Teddy + Sam Walker, you’re not allowed to be “just top eight” anymore. We get into: 2025 snapshot: what 8th (+132) actually says about...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E31 - Dolphins 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Dolphins in 2025 were pure chaos in the best way — the comp’s best attack, huge moments, and that “anyone can get it” confidence… but the defensive lapses and consistency swings kept them 9th and watching September from the couch. In this episode of our 17-part 2026 mini-series, we break down...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E30 - Manly Sea Eagles 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
Manly are the ultimate “what version are we getting this week?” side. They finished 10th in 2025 (12 wins) and now the 2026 draw has basically handed them a gift — easiest schedule in the comp. But here’s the catch: the roster changes are real, and the whole season still swings on health, combos,...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E29 - Parramatta Eels 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
Parramatta are stuck in the hardest spot in footy: not bad enough to blow it up… not good enough to scare anyone in September. They finished 12th in 2025 (10–14, -76) and the vibe was basically “transition year, identity pending.” In this episode of our 17-part 2026 NRL mini-series, we break down...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E28 - North Queensland Cowboys 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Cowboys are one of the hardest teams in the comp to read — flashes of genuine top-four footy mixed with weeks that leave you shaking your head. In this episode of our 17-part 2026 NRL mini series, Ryan breaks down the North Queensland Cowboys’ 2025 season and looks ahead to what 2026 really...
-
Tackles and Tinnies - E27 - St George Illawarra Dragons 2025 Review & 2026 Preview
The Dragons sit in one of the most frustrating spots in the NRL: not bad enough to bottom out, not good enough to matter. In this episode of our 17-part 2026 NRL mini series, Ryan breaks down the St George Illawarra Dragons’ 2025 season and asks the hard question — are the Dragons actually…

In this episode: 2025 ladder finish and what the numbers don’t tell you Why...
