Six Again | NRL Supercoach Round 6, everything you need to know


<p>Saturday night made sure to remind us of just how much of a rollercoaster the game of Supercoach can be.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>If you were one of these managers, don&#8217;t be too disheartened.</p>



<p>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.</p>

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



<p>In case you didn&#8217;t get to catch much footy last week, here is my rapid recap of round 5.</p>



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



<p>A FOZball surprise with Manly thrashing the Dolphins, led by Ola (128), Koula (104), and a rested Turbo (72), what could&#8217;ve been. A garbage time try helped Herbie (92) deliver.</p>



<p>Latrell (101) continued his hot form while Duncan (101) reminded us what he is capable of. </p>



<p>The Panthers continued their domination, putting away the Storm with ease. Cleary (115), Jenkins (109), Edwards (108), and McLean (104) the standouts.</p>

<p>The Cowboys dispatched a sorry Dragons outfit led by Clifford (125), Purdue (108), Dearden (89), and Drinkwater (88).</p>



<p>While the Broncos battled injuries, it was Mam (97) who stood up and led them to victory. Haas (49) and Kini (44) both disappointed.</p>



<p>Sir Nicho Hynes (144) led the Sharks to a massive win, alongside Kennedy (113), who impressed. DWZ (103) tonned up despite the loss.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>A thrilling win for the Tigers led by their forwards in KPP (120), May (90), and Twal (86). </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NRL ROUND 6 PREVIEW</strong></h3>



<p>Round 6 will kick off at <strong>7:50pm AEDT, Thursday, the 7th of April</strong>, with the Bulldogs hosting the red-hot Panthers.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</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>
