Six Again | NRL Supercoach Round 5, everything you need to know


<p>The first month of Supercoach is now behind us, and things are starting to heat up in the Supercoach world.</p>



<p>With a mixture of injuries, suspensions, and byes rattling our sides this past week, many managers were forced into a boost to even field a full side.</p>



<p>Despite a cool-off in the carnage this week, it still shapes up to be a big trading week, with so many cheapies crashing down, and many guns putting their hand up as must-haves.</p>



<p>From a strategic perspective, it will be up to managers themselves to decide if this is the week to attack and try to bring in the in-form players of the comp, or sit tight and save those trades?</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NRL ROUND 4 RAPID RECAP</strong></h3>



<p>If you want a full recap of round 4 from the best of the best, make sure to check out <strong><a href="https://scplaybook.com.au/blog/2026/03/30/nrl-supercoach-2026-round-3-wrap-8-things-we-learnt" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Nick Moon's Weekly Wrap">Nick Moon&#8217;s Weekly Wrap</a></strong>, but in case you didn&#8217;t get to catch much footy last week, here is my rapid recap of round 4.</p>



<p>Going in chronological order:</p>



<p>A right-side assault by the Roosters, led by Toia (122) and Marky Mark (108). Despite Manly being disappointing, Turbo (76) outduels Teddy (46).</p>



<p>Big upset win for the Tigers led by their main man Doueihi (112). Twal (97) and KPP (90) POD flyers, anyone? Boyd (84) continues his stellar year.</p>



<p>Walsh (95) and Herbie (82) were extremely solid, but it was Finefeuiaki (99) who stole the show.</p>



<a id='O-QF75SWTphdrr2IBy02iw' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2268728166' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'O-QF75SWTphdrr2IBy02iw',sig:'AesK1sxd-wcrgRyZUaEVLyDRHU5XNrjLcXzWZjBCZes=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2268728166',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p>Another game, another upset with Dom Young (108) and Lucas (86) leading the Knights to victory. Burton (102) shifted to centre and impressed in a losing side.</p>



<p>Penrith continued their domination. The sky is the limit for Jenkins (121) and Cleary (117).</p>



<p>In a week of upsets, the Cows also snuck past the Storm despite Warbrick&#8217;s (135) four tries. Both star fullbacks delivered with Drinkwater (93) and Sua (93).</p>



<p>Another clinic from Hynes (100) and Trindall (95). Sasagi (97) continues to impress.</p>



<p>The unexpected shining light in a sloppy matchup was the man, the myth, the Hau (116). JC (97) impressed again, and Holmes (75) solid again.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NRL ROUND 5 PREVIEW</strong></h3>



<p>Round 5 will kick off at <strong>8:00pm AEDT, Thursday, the 2nd of April</strong>, with the Dolphins hosting a Keiran Foran-coached Manly side.</p>



<p>We have some great games scheduled for the Easter long weekend, starting with Good Friday, with two blockbuster clashes in the Souths vs Dogs and Panthers vs Storm.</p>



<p>From a Supercoach perspective, many games seem to hold high-scoring potential this week, setting us up with plenty of captaincy options.</p>



<p>It is the Roosters who are on the bye this week, which should not impact too many Supercoach sides.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NRL SUPERCOACH BREAKEVENS</strong></h3>



<p>Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.</p>



<p>Generally speaking, when looking at who to trade in, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money.</p>



<p>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.</p>
