Hello ballrs and welcome to the SC Ballrs podcast heading into Round 8. The phrase never count out a SuperCoach gun came to the fore this week when Greg Marzhew broke 21 tackles to go large, while Hudson Young is officially on the gun list after his weekend heroics. But many SuperCoaches may not be able to get them thanks to so much carnage before games kicked off in Round 7. This week Matt (66th), Dan (979th) and CMac (54th) guide you through.

Carnage Corner & Monday Meat and Potatoes
Welcome to the Monday Snap – a special Easter Monday edition of the SC Ballers’ Sunday Snap!
Jono and Tubes are back to unpack the chaos of Round 7, which delivered carnage for Supercoaches across the board. With big-name injuries, sudden late outs, and a few monster scores, the boys rename Rage Trades to Carnage Corner as they triage Plath, Grant, Walsh, Campbell, and co.
They break down:
• Why Karaz, Herbie & Lehi Hoppa are buy-round gold
• Whether to hold or fold on Ponga, Marzhew & Gutho
• Big swings on Young GI, Wishart, and Tubes’ newest Titan-turned-Dog Connor Tracey
• The return of Nico Hines as a Ready to Explode
• And Tubes plants a flag on breakout forward Leka Halasima
There’s plenty of banter, bye planning, bold predictions, and legal threats from Tubes.
Plus, check out their Little Black Book picks and the ever-growing Doggies hype.

Jono and Tubes are back to discuss all the weekend topics, including poor captain performances, terrible Garrick trades and huge injury tolls.

It’s the most important week of the SuperCoach NRL season with players from 15 teams on the bubble for price changes going into Round 3. But the biggest question is: What to do with Tom Trbojevic? Yes, he has been named for the Manly Sea Eagles this week - in the last game of the round – but is it worth the risk with his troublesome hamstrings?
The Turbo issue is just one of many that has polarised opinions between our experts Matt (497th), Tubes (65,150th) and our resident physio Dan (624th) this week, so join them as they break it all down.

The SC ballrs are back to dissect Round 2 team lists and trades you are safe to pull the trigger on this week before the bubble bursts on price rises.
Join Matt and Danny Boy for all the banter, including giving it to the absent Tubes for his Sunday Snap comparison of champion cheapie of the week Gehamat Shibasaki to a young Greg Inglis. We look at the surprise relevance of FRF to start the season, the scary prospect for owners of Cowboys and ask the question: How many Broncos is too many?
