It was a high-scoring Sunday, but a host of injuries are set to bite SuperCoaches.

SUPERCOACH WINNERS

* Isaiah Iongi (92) - Plenty have sold in recent weeks due to a poor bye schedule but those who held were rewarded.

* Zac Lomax (91) - Produced some huge plays backing up from Origin.

* Dean Hawkins (86) - Who is Mitchell Moses? Great showing from the fill-in halfback.

* Mark Nawaqanitawase (129) – Two tries and nine tackle busts in his most dominant performance yet in NRL – and that’s saying something given his impact this season.

* James Tedesco (95) – Did the job as the most popular captain of the week.

* Hugo Savala (75) – He may not have the skill of some halfbacks but he’s a great support player and also notched two try assists.

* Braidon Burns (85) – By far the best of a well-beaten Cowboys. Try, six tackles busts and five offloads.

* Connor Watson (74) – Great showing backing up from a rough Origin loss.

* Payne Haas (100) - The Broncos captain was at his rampaging best, running for 194m, making nine tackle breaks and 40 tackles.

* Blayke Brailey (96) - The Sharks hooker scored and made a mammoth 51 tackles to be the equal-best SuperCoach performer for Cronulla.

* Briton Nikora (96) - The second-rower ran for 134m, made two line breaks and had a try-assist in a drama-filled game.

* Josiah Karapani (93) - The winger scored twice for the Broncos, with his second helping put Brisbane in front late in the second half. Definite cheapie option.

* Reece Walsh (89) - Raised concerns when he was caught limping in the warm-up but look unimpeded during the game. Walsh ran for 178m, made a line break, assisted with three others and helped set up a try.

SUPERCOACH LOSERS

* Jayden Campbell (10) - Suffered a category 1 concussion, which limited him to just 10 points. Plus he won’t be available next week and has the bye in round 18. In other words we misses the next two weeks and will lose big money when he returns. Sell.

* Sandon Smith (68) – It’s a handy score but Sandon came off late with a knee injury. The Roosters say it’s not serious and they have the bye in the coming week so hopefully he’s back for the Chooks’ next clash.

* Ryley Smith (26) - Came off late with a nasty gash to his knee.

* Tino Fa’asuamaleaui (36) - Backing up from Origin while carrying a sternum injury was always going to be tough.

* Jaxon Purdue (24) – Finding life in the halves pretty tough.

* Siua Wong (15) – Came off with a medial ligament injury and is set to miss some time.

* Scott Drinkwater (56) – The Cowboys had no momentum and Drinky suffered.
