What is PlayIQ

A player development platform built for ambitious young footballers.

PlayIQ helps young rugby league athletes train smarter, build better skills, and understand the game on a deeper level. We give players the clarity, structure, and guidance they’ve been missing, so they can improve with purpose and confidence.

We don’t do hype. We break down real footage, hand you the drills, and analyse your game, so every session has intent behind it.

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.

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 to 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
