NRL
April 8, 2026
Saturday night made sure to remind us of just how much of a rollercoaster the game of Supercoach can be.
One moment, we had Reece Walsh tip-toeing down the sideline for one of the better tries you will see this season, the next moment, the try was called back, and Walsh was knocked out cold with a fractured cheekbone.
38 points and less than a half of footy was all that we got from the most popular captaincy pick of the week, ruining the scores of thousands of managers.
If you were one of these managers, don’t be too disheartened.
We are just 5 weeks into a long 27-week season, so there is still plenty of time for the tables to turn and the good fortune to come your way.

In case you didn’t get to catch much footy last week, here is my rapid recap of round 5.
Going in chronological order:
A FOZball surprise with Manly thrashing the Dolphins, led by Ola (128), Koula (104), and a rested Turbo (72), what could’ve been. A garbage time try helped Herbie (92) deliver.
Latrell (101) continued his hot form while Duncan (101) reminded us what he is capable of.
The Panthers continued their domination, putting away the Storm with ease. Cleary (115), Jenkins (109), Edwards (108), and McLean (104) the standouts.
The Cowboys dispatched a sorry Dragons outfit led by Clifford (125), Purdue (108), Dearden (89), and Drinkwater (88).
While the Broncos battled injuries, it was Mam (97) who stood up and led them to victory. Haas (49) and Kini (44) both disappointed.
Sir Nicho Hynes (144) led the Sharks to a massive win, alongside Kennedy (113), who impressed. DWZ (103) tonned up despite the loss.
Another huge win for the Knights, led by their outside backs in Gagai (131) and Dom Young (86). Sasagi (95) was immense for new owners.
A thrilling win for the Tigers led by their forwards in KPP (120), May (90), and Twal (86).

Round 6 will kick off at 7:50pm AEDT, Thursday, the 7th of April, with the Bulldogs hosting the red-hot Panthers.
We have a great slate of games once again this weekend, with the Sharks and Roosters showcase in Perth looking like a very tasty matchup.
The Storm and Warriors will battle in a matchup of recently struggling sides, while the in-form Tigers and Knights will also duel to try to prove their legitimacy.
It will be the Dolphins who are on the bye this week, which some might say is a much-needed break after their embarrassing performance against Manly.

Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.
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.
