Popular SuperCoach buy Greg Marzhew struggled against the Sea Eagles after copping a monster early hit from Nathan Brown.

Marzhew has been one of the most purchased players of the last few weeks, but could barely run after copping a cork.

He stayed on the field but could only muster 23 SuperCoach points.

Check out our full wrap of round 19.

SUPERCOACH WINNERS

* Tom Trbojevic (129) - Made it look easy on his return to fullback with a try, two try assists and four try contributions. He’ll be the most purchased player of the upcoming round.

* Lehi Hopoate (119) - Gave up the fullback spot to Turbo but got served up two tries on a platter by the Manly superstar while playing on the wing. Plus a brilliant try assist of his own.

* Jason Saab (112) - When Turbo’s on fire, the Manly wingers go well.

* Reuben Garrick (99) - Very strong score as the most popular SuperCoach captain of the week. Gave up the kicking duties at stages to Jamie Humphreys, which could be a SuperCoach issue going forward.

* Christian Tuipulotu (129) – The Dragons’ hat-trick hero easily eclipsed 100 points as his edge tore the Broncos apart.

* Kyle Flanagan (100) – Flanagan orchestrated the Dragons’ terrific win, finishing with three try assists and five goals while making 17 tackles without a miss.

* Jayden Campbell (104) – The Titans five-eighth was everywhere in his comeback game. When the Gold Coast’s attack shines, it’s Campbell that usually cashes in with SuperCoach scoring. The return of AJ Brimson at fullback didn’t seem to diminish Campbell’s impact.

* Clint Gutherson (96) – Gutherson was valiant in a losing side, scoring a try and assisting another in a big shift at fullback. ‘The King’ almost cracked 100 and is still a great fullback option.

* Braydon Trindall (127) - With no Nicho Hynes it was up to Trindall to step up and he did in a massive way. Led the charge from the front, had a high involvement rate and was kicking goals for fun.

* Ronaldo Mulitalo (133) - Three tries, big metres and line breaks galore equal a huge score for the Sharks winger.

* Briton Nikora (99) - One point shy of cracking the century, Nikora completed his job to perfection on the edge and was rewarded with a try in the second half.

* Jesse Ramien (84) - A bombed try away from triple figures.

* Kayal Iro (77) - Set the tone in the first five minutes when he took on the line to score easily. Had 67 points in the first 40 to cap a fantastic first half.

* Jack Bostock (108) - Topped the SuperCoach scoring thanks to his try and 271 run metres.

* Alex Johnston (103) - Accumulated points late thanks to his two tries while teammate Jacob Gagai (98) wasn’t far off after crossing for three times.

SUPERCOACH LOSERS

* Deine Mariner (27) – A quiet night for the young Bronco who played at centre for most of the game before a brief cameo on the wing at the end.

* Jordan Riki (34) – Low score from Riki despite a decent game in defence. Just didn’t get enough ball with his team on the front foot.

* Keano Kini (24) – Got shifted to the interchange with AJ Brimson returning from injury and only played a handful of minutes in the second half. Maybe time to sell now that his job security is gone.

* Kieran Foran (24) – Foran took the backseat with Campbell’s flourishing attack. That’s all he has to do in the team to keep them in their current good form, but it won’t translate very well for SuperCoach scoring.

* Api Koroisau (24) - Copped a harsh call when he was sent to the sin bin. Went off late in the game with injury in a forgettable night for his owners.

* Adam Doueihi (24) - Has been good in his return from a lengthy injury but tonight wasn’t one of his better nights. The Sharks had his number from the opening stages.

* Stefano Utoikamanu (30) - Another who was off from the opening whistle. Has all the outside talk of his contract status started to take its toll?

* Lachlan Galvin (28) - Didn’t have much of a platform to work his magic and the young star wasn’t able to show his best.

* Alex Lobb (16) - Just couldn’t get his way into the game at all. Really quiet night from the rookie and his score reflected that.
