Second row is one of the most important positions to get right in NRL SuperCoach, and one of the easiest to get burned by. We break down the key 2RF options for 2026, looking at the reliable minute-eaters, the upside plays, and the names that come with real risk attached. Role security, base, attacking upside, and durability all come into the discussion as we try to answer the big question, who can you actually trust in your starting squad?

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