Six Again | NRL Supercoach Round 25, everything you need to know


<p>Let&#8217;s engage in an exercise of time travel, back to my article from just two weeks ago where I wrote:</p>



<p>&#8220;NRL Supercoach 2026 round 22 will go down in the history books.</p>



<p>Four teams amassed the once unfathomable score of 2000 points!!! While teams who &#8216;only&#8217; managed 1500 points were faced with major red arrows.</p>



<p>32 scores of 90+, 20 scores of 100+, 7 scores of 120+, and even a double-century chucked in there.</p>



<p>We know that defences typically tend to open up late in the season, and points flow, so is this the start of a generationally high point-scoring run in NRL Supercoach?&#8221;</p>



<p>Well, the answer to my question is a big, fat, resounding, NO!</p>

<p>For those who thought round 23 was bad, round 24 made sure they quickly replaced that sour memory with one that was even worse.</p>



<p>Round 24 was a round of disaster for so many Supercoach sides. 1458 points was enough to take home team of the week, while 1200 points was probably enough to see some green arrows.</p>



<p>Just 6 players reached triple figures. DCE and Lachlan Ilias made up two of them, which probably says enough in itself. Congratulations to the 26 managers in the top 5% who own one of the two!</p>



<p>Captain picks flopped, injuries hit hard, and just about everything that could have gone wrong did. </p>



<p>With just three weeks of the season to go, let&#8217;s just pray the Supercoach gods can all give us a bit of luck to end the year on a high.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NRL ROUND 25 PREVIEW</strong></h3>



<p>Round 25 will kick off at <strong>7:50pm AEST, Thursday, the 20th of August</strong>, with Melbourne hosting a Penrith side desperate to return to winning ways.</p>



<p>It is a week of graveyard matchups, with the Souths vs Warriors really being the only game where both teams have something on the line.</p>



<p>I mean the Raiders vs Broncos is the only true &#8216;graveyard&#8217; game between two teams that have both been eliminated from Finals contention already. However, I would not be shocked to see a massive Raiders&#8217; performance for Big Papa&#8217;s Canberra send-off.</p>



<p>The rest of the games this week are between a team whose season is very much alive and a team whose season is done. Logic would say we may have a few absolute hidings on the cards this week, but it doesn&#8217;t always seem to go that way.</p>



<p>This week it is the Cowboys who get the bye, as they prepare for a big last push to cement themselves in the top 8.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>KEY AVAILABILITY WATCH</strong></h3>



<p>Each week, we will list players whose injury statuses have changed in the week prior. </p>



<p>Keep your eyes out for Team Lists on a Tuesday afternoon, where we will know a lot more about most of these injuries.</p>



<p><strong>Reece Walsh (BRI):</strong> Horrible news for Walsh, who suffered a lower leg injury that will rule him out for the rest of the season.</p>



<p><strong>Connelly Lemuelu (DOL): </strong>Suffered a minor hamstring injury that is expected to rule him out for at least a couple of weeks.</p>



<p><strong>Dane Gagai (NEW):</strong> Suffered a suspected minor hamstring injury that may see him miss some time.</p>



<p><strong>Keaon Koloamatangi (STH): </strong>Came from the field with a shoulder concern but is expected to be good to go this week.</p>



<p><strong>Simi Sasagi (CBR):</strong> Was rested last week as expected with an ongoing shoulder injury, reported to be playing this week for Papa&#8217;s farewell.</p>



<p><strong>Braydon Trindall (SHA):</strong> Suffered a dislocated shoulder and is likely to miss the rest of the regular season.</p>



<p><strong>Luke Metcalf (NZL):</strong> Suffered a hamstring strain; at best, will still likely rule him out for the rest of the regular season.</p>
