WINNERS

* Ryan Papenhuyzen (137) - Captained by just 10 per cent of SuperCoaches this week after last week’s early shower, Papenhuyzen had his hands on everything. Three try assists and perfect with the boot.

* Terrell May (86) – Another enormous performance from arguably the SuperCoach buy of the year. Six tackles busts and five offloads. The only down side is that SuperCoaches may need to prepare for being without Terrell over Origin.

* Harry Grant (83) - It’s been a quiet start to the year for Grant but is this the performance that breaks the ice? A try and try assist, although he did limp around at stages and earned an early mark.

* Grant Anderson (72) - The popular money-maker did just that, adding around $75,000 to his price with plenty more to come.

* Starford To’a (64) – The cheapie who got away. Will take his total price rises to around the $200,000 mark when lockout opens but is only owned by four per cent.

* Jahream Bula (73) – A try and try assist. Made Kalyn Ponga look second rate at stages.

* Thomas Cant (56) – All in pure base. Very solid performance from the most popular buy of the week, enacting a rise of almost exactly $100,000.

* Demitric Vaimauga (40) - Best SuperCoach performance of Vaimauga’s young career. Scored 40 in 44 minutes and it would have been a whole lot better if not for dropped ball over the line. Improving every week and should make decent cash eventually.

* Moses Leo (39) - Couldn’t notch any big attacking stats but may emerge as a genuine cheapie option for the coming week after a solid score in pure base.

LOSERS

* Kalyn Ponga (21) – Barely sighted except for two errors and two missed tackles. Massive blow for SuperCoaches given he was the most popular captain of the week.

* Jahrome Hughes (16) - This week’s fourth most popular SuperCoach buy failed to emerge after half-time due to a shoulder injury and is rated 50-50 for next week.

* James Fisher-Harris (12) - Suffered an early pectoral injury and will be sent for scans. Doesn’t sounds good.

* Jarome Luai (16) – Those who sold over the last few weeks are vindicated. Luai is playing as a game manager only at the Tigers and has shelved his running game.

* Jeral Skelton (17) - Forced from the field with a reoccurrence of a hamstring injury.

* Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (16) - His afternoon ended early due to concussion.

* Cameron Munster (51) - Notched a try assist but in general left the big attacking stats for others.
