NRL team lists Round 4: Injury crisis forces mass changes

CARNAGE! The first and third most popular players in SuperCoach — Dylan Brown and Adam Keighran — are out. FULL 21-MAN SQUADS INSIDE.

The Round 4 NRL teams — and it is absolute carnage everywhere.

SuperCoaches have a huge dramas to navigate with the first and third most popular players in the game — Dylan Brown and Adam Keighran — not named.

Scroll down for every 21-man squad and re-live our blog with Tom Sangster.

WINNERS

* Bronson Xerri — The potential cheapie will debut for the Sharks following an injury to Matt Moylan (Josh Dugan to fullback, Xerri to right centre).

* Kalyn Ponga — The five-eighth experiment is over. The Knights have confirmed Ponga will play fullback, where averaged 66 last year and almost won the Dally M.

* Jayden Okunbur — The third most purchased player this week following a strong 55 on debut for the Bulldogs.

* Luke Garner — The popular cheapie has been named for the Tigers despite an AC joint issue. Garner returned to the field against the Bulldogs with the aid of a painkilling injection.

* Nathan Cleary — Set to resume goalkicking duties following a minor groin issue.

* Corey Allan — The injury to Braidon Burns (hamstring) has opened a regular wing spot for the cheapie prospect. He is the eighth most purchased player and rising.

LOSERS

* Dylan Brown — The most popular player in SuperCoach is out indefinitely with a back injury. Thankfully, he is replaced by another cheapie in Jaeman Salmon.

* Adam Keighran — The third most popular player in SuperCoach has been dropped by Warriors coach Stephen Kearney. He is also replaced by a cheapie in Chanel Harris-Tavita.

* Matt Moylan — 13 per cent of SuperCoaches are on the hunt for a replacement following news Moylan is out for six weeks with a hamstring injury.

* Braidon Burns — Last week’s second most popular buy is out for a month with a hamstring issue and therefore a must-sell given the value buys in the position.

* Zac Lomax — SuperCoaches had their fingers crossed the popular pre-season cheapie would score a starting spot following the injury to Gareth Widdop. With Widdop out, Lomax is the only quality goalkicker at the club. However, coach Paul McGregor has opted to play Lomax from the bench.

* Jake Friend — Set to miss a fortnight with a shoulder injury.

Matt Moylan (right) is just one of the injured brigade in a Supercoach crisis.
