NRL SuperCoach live scores and analysis: Viliame Kikau sin bin divides experts
Don't miss out on the headlines from Bulldogs. Followed categories will be added to My News. Lachlan Galvin is coming down to a lovely price. But Matt Burton won't give up the five-eighth spot after a stunning display, so where does Galvin fit in? Tom Sangster analyses King's Birthday action. SUPERCOACH WINNERS * Matt Burton (91) – Clearly doesn't want his five-eighth spot taken by Lachlan Galvin. Best player on the field with a try and try assist. * Harry Hayes (88) – We pumped him up in Draft a while back and he's produced big-time. * Jacob Kiraz (68) – With KL Iro and Savelio Tamale injured, Kiraz will be one of the most popular buys of the upcoming round. To think this is his floor – 20 runs and six offloads. * Lachlan Galvin (36) – Putting him on the winner's list is a bit loose after just 24 minutes. But he scored a try and looked strong in the pressure moments. He'll dip below $500K soon, hopefully at the same time he earns a starting spot. Bargain. SUPERCOACH LOSERS * Isaiah Iongi (32) – Thanks for the good times. Iongi will be one of the most popular sells of the upcoming round after making only $300K, plus upcoming tough schedule. * Jordan Samrani (10) – Barely any game time off the bench. Has made over $200K and has aforementioned poor draw. Sell. Originally published as NRL SuperCoach live scores and analysis: Lachlan Galvin debut, Viliame Kikau sin bin divides experts

Canterbury Bulldogs v Dolphins: Live NRL scores, updates and SuperCoach analysis
Torrential rainfall and depleted rosters isn't going to stop the fun tonight. In fact, it's going to add to the entertainment. The Origin period has brought with it some new-look line-ups as the Bulldogs host the Dolphins at Accor Stadium. The Bulldogs will be missing Max King, Stephen Crichton and Kurt Mann, while the Dolphins are without superstar fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow to Origin duties. The Dogs are also without star winger and SuperCoach stud Jacob Kiraz, who has been sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a calf injury. With all these big names out, SuperCoaches turn their attention to a number of other stars to salvage their scores on a tough week, including a popular trade-in from the Bulldogs and a captaincy option from the Dolphins. Check back in for kick-off at 7:50pm to follow our live coverage of the match. Bulldogs: • V iliame Kikau ($587,600) – The most popular transfer in from this fixture, SuperCoaches are hoping Kikau can enter beast mode and secure some points amid the chaos of Origin week. On a slippery night, the most backrower will be tough to handle out on that left edge. • Connor Tracey ($642,200) – One of the PODs of the round with the Dolphins leaking an average of 81 points to fullbacks over the last month. Coaches will need to cough up some serious cash with Tracey sitting on his fifth highest SC value ever. Dolphins: • Herbie Farnworth ($738,900) – Hoping not to put the blogger's curse on this, but Herbie has been one of the most reliable SuperCoach assets all season. In a week where SuperCoach sides have been decimated, Farnworth is someone we need to be up and around his average of 75. • J ake Averillo ($497,000) – The man donning the No.1 jersey in the absence of Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow. Has played 16 games at fullback in his NRL career and scored 11 tries in that time, but never in Dolphins colours. However, he's set to be a prime target for some Burton bombs in the wild Sydney weather, so he'll do well to come out of this fixture with no errors.

Kiraz's calf a blow for Blues and Bulldogs
Jacob Kiraz's State of Origin dream has been dashed, with the in-form Canterbury winger set for a prolonged stint on the sideline with a calf injury. One of the best wingers in the competition over the past six weeks, Kiraz will miss at least a month after reporting soreness following the win over Sydney Roosters. The injury comes at the worst possible time for Kiraz, who had loomed as a genuine wing option for NSW this year. Even had he been overlooked for the May 28 opener, there was every chance Kiraz could have featured in the series if any NSW outside back suffered an injury. That now appears highly unlikely, given Kiraz himself is in a race against the clock to even be back on the field before the end of the series. His injury also comes as a blow to the Bulldogs, with Kiraz having been crucial in early-set yardage for the ladder leaders this year. The Lebanese international has topped 150 metres in five of the six games he has played this year, busting 31 tackles in the past three weeks alone. Blake Wilson appears the most likely man to replace him. Canterbury are one of several clubs at the pointy end of the ladder likely to have a relatively unaffected Origin period. Stephen Crichton will likely only play one game between now and the end of round 16, but Kurt Mann will most likely be their only other representative. Regardless, the high-flying club do have challenges in their pack, with prop Daniel Suluka-Fifita (concussion) to add to the list of outs against the Dolphins this week. Josh Curran will be able to return from suspension on Thursday night, but fellow backrowers Jacob Preston and Sitili Tupouniua remain banned. Lock Jaeman Salmon is also out with a foot injury until about round 20, testing the club's depth following their 9-1 start to the year.
