Turbo-charging this round but don't let Paps smear your season

Published: April 21, 2021, 1:23 a.m.

Round 7 is shaping up to easily be the toughest week so far this season, whether it be for trade options, captaincy picks, start-sit decisions and planning for the upcoming rounds.

As always the Champions are here to help navigate through the analysis paralysis. Aside from the usual injury chat (with NRLPhysio back and offering some seriously valuable insight regarding the likes of Papenhuyzen, Turbo and Taukeiaho), the teamlist takeaways, and the Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Week.

Strategy-wise, we debate:

  • how to best manage the fullback position (looking at Turbo, Ponga, Papenhuyzen and Teddy)
  • striking the right balance at hooker at the hooker position (Simpkin, Grant, Cook, etc.)
  • navigating the traps at FRF (including Papali'i vs the second tier options);
  • considering how many players to aim for in Round 13 bye coverage-wise.
