Walker's on (again) and it's time to say Bye Bye Bye - Round 9, 2021

Published: May 5, 2021, 1 a.m.

Another week of massive scores, and another week to shake up the overall rankings. The race for overall glory continues to heat up but the injuries and suspensions also continue to climb! Round 9 is another tricky week and the Champions are here to help navigate through the analysis paralysis. NRLPhysio is out again this week but we still go through an injury wrap-up, we discuss the key takeaways from the Round 9 teams and match-ups and of course we nominate our Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Week.

Strategy-wise, we focus heavily on the Round 13 bye this week, going through the eight teams that play Round 13 and the potential targets in each team. We also go through our (current as of this week) best guess at the potential State of Origin teams for QLD and NSW respectively, including a discussion of which players may be on the fringe of selection and therefore a risk for Round 13 bye coverage. We also ponder the 18th man and how that might work (spoiler: the QLD and NSW teams don't know yet either!).
