NRL SuperCoach live scores and analysis: Lachlan Galvin debut, Viliame Kikau sin bin divides experts

There were many positional questions prior to Lachlan Galvin’s Canterbury debut, and some – not all – were answered as Matt Burton put his stamp on the No. 6 jersey against the Eels. See all the winners and losers from the King’s birthday clash.

Lachlan Galvin is coming down to a lovely price.

But Matt Burton won’t give up the five-eighth spot after a stunning display, so where does Galvin fit in?

Tom Sangster analyses King’s Birthday action.

SUPERCOACH WINNERS

* Matt Burton (91) – Clearly doesn’t want his five-eighth spot taken by Lachlan Galvin. Best player on the field with a try and try assist.

* Harry Hayes (88) – We pumped him up in Draft a while back and he’s produced big-time.

* Jacob Kiraz (68) – With KL Iro and Savelio Tamale injured, Kiraz will be one of the most popular buys of the upcoming round. To think this is his floor – 20 runs and six offloads.

* Lachlan Galvin (36) – Putting him on the winner’s list is a bit loose after just 24 minutes. But he scored a try and looked strong in the pressure moments. He’ll dip below $500K soon, hopefully at the same time he earns a starting spot. Bargain.

SUPERCOACH LOSERS

* Isaiah Iongi (32) – Thanks for the good times. Iongi will be one of the most popular sells of the upcoming round after making only $300K, plus upcoming tough schedule.

* Jordan Samrani (10) – Barely any game time off the bench. Has made over $200K and has aforementioned poor draw. Sell.
