Which club leaks points to which position, matched against the players actually named opposite them in Round 16. Free, and rebuilt every time the team lists move.

NRL Round 16 2026 Preview & Tips
Through 15 rounds plus Origin we're sitting at +56.23 units. Seven games this round and a Best Bet on every one — the named teams matter more than usual as the Origin men filter back in.
For each of the seven positional groups we take the SuperCoach points every club has conceded per game this season, then measure how far a club sits from the competition average at that position in standard deviations. Only clubs more than one deviation out are listed, so a position where every side is much of a muchness never produces a row. Players come from the published team lists, so an edge is only shown when someone is actually named opposite it. Bench and reserve names are excluded. The same numbers drive the full matchup strength table.
Projections, prop hit rates and the full DVP breakdown for every player are part of a 7-day free trial.
