SuperCoach Origin is a separate game mode designed to keep coaches engaged during the State of Origin period. Rather than watching your Classic squad get decimated by representative call-ups, Origin gives you a clean slate and a brand new team to manage across the three Origin games.
How It Works
The format is simple. You pick 4 Queensland players and 4 New South Wales players with no salary cap - meaning you can pick whoever you want without any budget restrictions. Every game you also get a completely fresh start, so there is no hangover from the previous match. Pick your best team, every single time.
Your Squad Structure
| Position | Spots |
|---|---|
| Hooker (HOK) | 1 |
| Frontrower (FRF) | 1 |
| Backrower (2RF) | 1 |
| Halfback (HFB) | 1 |
| Five-Eighth (5/8) | 1 |
| Centre / Winger (CTW) | 1 |
| Fullback (FB) | 1 |
| Flex (any position) | 1 |
| Total | 8 |
Scoring
Scoring in SuperCoach Origin follows the same system as Classic SuperCoach, so everything you have learned about how players earn points applies here too.
Captaincy - Double and Triple Points
Origin puts a massive emphasis on captaincy decisions. Your vice captain earns double points for the game, and your captain earns triple points. Getting your captaincy right in Origin can be the difference between a great result and a forgettable one - and with no salary cap and a fresh team each game, there is no excuse not to have the best possible captain options available.
