SuperCoach Draft Round 6 Review: Rattle Stations

The host of the Rugby League Guru Podcast delivers a raw, self-critical review of his SuperCoach draft team after a brutal Round 6, admitting for the first time that he may not win the competition this year. Despite a strong injury-free start and early optimism, his team has collapsed under the weight of underperforming high-value picks—especially first-round selection Val Holmes and late-round gamble Trey Fuller, who remains on the bench. The turning point came when Kurt’s vice-captain Simi Sasangi scored 100 points, while the host’s own captaincy choices failed to deliver, leaving him 30-40 points behind in key matchups. He reveals he’s now relying on waiver wire pickups like Hugo Savala (84 points) and Noah Martin (60) to stay competitive, admitting he’d have been 800+ points if he’d played them instead of deadwood like Dan Atkinson. With no injuries to blame, he’s forced to confront a new reality: his strategy of bold gambles has backfired, and his team is now a 'white-knuckle affair' just trying to survive. The season feels like a holding pattern, with the only hope resting on Trey Fuller breaking into the Dolphins’ starting lineup—something he calls the 'only way out.' The stakes are high as he faces off against SC Playbook’s Stevie Hevner in a crucial match for pride and ladder positioning.
