From injury news to breakevens and the most traded, here's everything you need to know ahead of NRL Supercoach round 2
NRLWelcome to Six Again, a weekly article I will be doing every Tuesday morning, that goes through everything you need to know ahead of the next week of NRL Supercoach!
Another round 1 is in the books, and boy, did it deliver some entertainment, especially in the Supercoach world.
After weeks of tossing and turning over which cheapies to pick in our sides, the answer ended up being we should have picked them all!!!
Every CTW cheapie scored 50+, Moses Leo leading the way with a emphathetic 95 in the Storm’s thumping victory.
2RF cheapies also decided to put on a show (albeit excluding a couple of them), with Noah Martin and his filthy haircut crossing over twice for 116 delicious points (for those who chucked the reserve on him).
But it wasn’t only the cheapies who delivered…the mid-rangers also made sure to turn up.
Luki and Mooney set the tone with big scores in Vegas, Fa’alogo, and Cody Walker continued the mid-range’s dominance throughout the weekend.

Anyway, enough marvelling on about the rollercoaster ride of round 1, if you want a in depth review on that, make sure to check out Nick Moon’s weekly wraps, which are always a stellar read.
We are here to look ahead and give you all the information you need to make the best trades moving forward.
We all know the age-old question after round 1: Is it too early to hit the trade button?
In terms of trading in players, of course, it would be beneficial to watch these potential trade-in targets before moving for them.
But with limited trades each week and price changes looming after round 3, maybe the play is to go early on some of these red-hot cheapies?
When deciding who to trade out, try your best not to overreact to a one-week performance, unless they really failed the eye test.
There is a reason that you have picked these guys in the first place; trust your decisions.
The last thing you want to do is trade someone out who goes on to ton up the very next week…
I am looking at you, Reece Walsh traders.
Thursday night at Suncorp, against an Eels side that just got whacked for 50, the Broncos, hungry for a bounce-back.
I know I wouldn’t want to watch that as a Walsh non-owner.

It will be the Bulldogs who miss out on the action this week, on the bye, and receive an extended break after their Vegas golden point victory.
We have some more blockbuster matchups this week, with the next chapter of the Roosters Rabbitohs rivalry on Friday night, as well as a heavyweight clash between the Panthers and Sharks on Saturday night.
Anyone who was brave/eager enough to start with West Tiger’s assets will be looking forward to seeing them in action for the first time, as the Cowboys visit Leichardt Oval Saturday afternoon.

Keep your eyes out for Team Lists on a Tuesday afternoon, where we will know a lot more about most of these injuries.
Scott Drinkwater (NQC): Suffered a rib cartilage injury in Vegas, played the game with pain relief. Expected to play this weekend.
Kurt Donoghoe (DOL): Minor re-injury of hamstring injury, aiming to return in round 3.
Jacob Liddle (STG): Suffered a serious hamstring injury in preseason, in contention to return as soon as this week, although not expected. Keep an eye on team lists.
Fletcher Sharpe (NEW): Confirmed to have been pretty much the best-case scenario with a PCL injury, expected back in Round 3.
Robert Toia (SYD): Didn’t play last weekend after failing to overcome footy injury, expected to be named this week.
Harry Grant (MEL): Went off early against the Eels with leg injury concerns, but has been reported to have been just severe cramping. Expected to be named.

No price changes will occur until after round 3, as they are based on a player’s 3-week average.
Nonetheless, going early on some of these low-breakeven options may be the move this week.
Generally speaking, when looking at who to trade in, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money.
Similarly, if you have some players with high breakevens in your team, maybe it’s time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.
