WINNERS

* Cameron Murray - The boom buy has been named for the Rabbitohs, but is a 50/50 chance due to a hamstring injury. Murray started training on Tuesday with the rehabilitation group before joining the full squad for part of the session.

* Andrew Fifita - Named for the Sharks after being cleared of an ACL injury, but remains in doubt with a minor meniscus issue.

* Simon Mannering - Starts for the Warriors following the injury to Leviaha Pulu (ankle, indefinite). The great of SuperCoach is predicted to drop by almost $60,000 after this week.

* Sam Burgess - Returns from a two week suspension for the Rabbitohs.

* Jai Arrow - The most popular buy of the last fortnight has been named despite failing to finish last week due to back spasms.

* Christian Crichton - Last week’s best-performing cheapie now has improved job security following the injury to Josh Mansour (fracture cheekbone).

* Ryley Jacks - Most popular buy this week following two strong displays for the Storm. Predicted to rise by $82,000 after this week.

* Jack Gosiewski - The Manly cheapie option will be named to start in the forwards once again and is therefore the second most popular buy.

* Ryan Matterson - Already the second most popular buy going into teams day, Matterson’s claimed have been boosted by Mitch Aubusson’s move to centre.

LOSERS

* Paul Gallen - Out for 4-6 weeks with a medial ligament injury.

* Matt Lodge - Named for the Broncos despite a rib cartilage issue, but with a break even of 37, he is a sell.
