Front row is one of the key decision points in NRL SuperCoach 2026. Do you pay up for the proven premium and lock in safe minutes, or can you find value elsewhere without sacrificing points? We break down the major FRF options, looking at role security, minutes, base output, attacking upside, and price. The goal isn’t hype, it’s clarity, and helping you decide how much of your salary cap should be invested in the front row.

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