I built 18th Man because I was coaching at the grassroots level and couldn't find tools that spoke the language of rugby league. The drills, the sets, the defensive structures — everything coaches actually talk about on the training field.
Name your block, choose how many sessions, and AI plans every single one upfront — balanced across Attack, Defence, Completions, and Skills. The whole season, sorted before it starts.
Three specialist AI coaches in one platform. The Coaching Assistant handles drills, tactics, and session planning. The S&C Coach covers conditioning and gym programs. GameSense builds your entire season structure. All trained on rugby league.
"Give me a 15-minute defensive line speed drill for U16s that I can run with limited space..."
Draw drills on a digital canvas exactly as you would on a whiteboard — players, cones, arrows, zones. Build your private library and share with the community.
Create a club, invite your coaching staff into private groups, and collaborate on session plans. Share coaching blocks across the team so everyone is working from the same plan.
Every week, a coaching topic takes centre stage — Edge Defence, Line Speed, Completion Rate. Drill breakdowns, session ideas, and community discussion, all in one place. Your club can set its own focus, or follow the platform-wide topic.
Track how your squad is travelling off the field. Check-ins, load monitoring, and mood tracking give you the picture before the session starts — so you can adjust your training plan to what the group actually needs.

Name your block, choose the number of sessions, and let AI plan every one upfront — balanced across all four focus areas. Your whole season structured before you step on the field.
A week before each session, open it, review the AI plan, set the date, and add your own drills. If the team struggled on the weekend, swap sessions — the rotation stays intact.
Publish drills to the community library. Discover what coaches across the game are running. Rate, comment, and build a coaching reputation.
Three specialist AI coaches, one platform. The Coaching Assistant speaks rugby league — drills, sets, tackles, defensive structures, positional play. The S&C Coach handles conditioning, gym programs, and recovery. GameSense structures your entire season. Ask a coaching question, get a coaching answer.
Every drill you create automatically receives an AI-generated coaching guide — key points, common errors, progressions, and warm-up suggestions — so your whole squad understands the intent, not just the movement.
The best coaches in rugby league have always shared knowledge freely. 18th Man is the digital home for that tradition — where your best session plan can help a coach three clubs away run a better training night.
A dedicated space for rugby league coaches to discuss tactics, share discoveries, ask questions, and debate what works at every level of the game — from grassroots through to elite.

Twenty years in professional rugby league as a player and coach. I watch footage the way I used to study tape before a big game — and I'll tell you exactly what's there.
Match Review
Send me footage of your player in a match or a training session. I'll watch it properly, tell you exactly what they're doing well and where they're costing your team, and give you something you can act on in your next session.

Opposition Scouting
I've played against the best and the worst at every level. Give me footage of your next opponents and I'll break down their defensive shape, their set-play calls, where they go under pressure, and where the edge is. You'll walk into that dressing room knowing more about them than most of their own coaches do.
