What players & parents say

The feedback speaks for itself.

My individual feedback gives me confidence for my games, every single week. They break my game down and always highlight the positives, not just the fixes.

The weekly personalised clips really were a game changer for my whole season. It lifted my game — and even helped me support my teammates.

PlayIQ has changed me as a future player. It gives me insight into my game that coaches and family don't always see.

Questions

Before you start.

Is The Playbook right for my kid's position?
Yes. The eight weeks span every position — scanning, support lines, attacking shape, kick IQ, tackle selection, defensive organisation, ruck control and kick pressure — and each week includes a guide for how the read applies to your position.
What age is it built for?
Players 14–25, across junior and rep levels. It's written to the player, and plenty of parents work through it alongside younger kids.
Is it drills and fitness, or theory?
Neither — it's about reading the game. You get real NRL footage broken down plus one habit to take to training, not running drills. If you're after at-home skill and conditioning work, that's the Player Development Series ($49).
How much time does it take each week?
Minutes, not hours. One short breakdown, a position guide, a one-page game-day cheat sheet and a 3-minute reflection — one habit a week over 8 weeks.
When will we see a difference?
It's a skill that builds with reps — most players start noticing they're reading the picture earlier within a few weeks. It's a how-to for seeing the game, not a promise about selection.
Can we do it during the season?
Yes. It's designed to layer on top of team training, any time of year — pre-season, mid-season or off-season.
For parents

Backing your kid’s footy — without the guesswork.

You want them developing properly, not wasting a season on vague advice. PlayIQ gives your child structure, expert feedback, and a clear plan — so their effort actually goes somewhere.
