In a stunning turn of events, the highly anticipated Zac Hosking has found himself on the bench, leaving many SuperCoach players scrambling to find a new star player to bring into their lineup.

It's time to search far and wide for that hidden gem, as Tom Sangster delves into the round three teams with the precision of a seasoned coach.

Joey Lussick is the man of the hour, basking in the glory of an 80-minute hooker role after Brendan Hands was shown the door.

While his recent attacking stats might raise a few eyebrows, Lussick's solid base of 31 points makes him a reliable choice for any team in need of a boost.

The fans have spoken, and Lussick is the clear frontrunner for this week's must-have player.

Meanwhile, Payne Haas has shrugged off a minor knee injury to take his place in the Broncos lineup, solidifying his position as the top pick for FRF in many SuperCoach teams.

Ben Trbojevic continues to dominate the game with a staggering 68 per cent ownership, and with Josh Schuster's struggles in the NSW Cup, Trbojevic's job security is looking stronger than ever.

As for the unfortunate Zac Hosking, the former Panther's benching has left many scratching their heads in disbelief.

With Elliott Whitehead making a triumphant return, Hosking's time in the spotlight has been cut short.

It may be a tough pill to swallow for those who had high hopes for the young star, but sometimes in the world of Rugby League, you have to roll with the punches.

And let's not forget Heilum Luki, whose promising season took a hit with an ankle injury that will sideline him for the next 6-8 weeks.

It's a tough blow for anyone who had Luki on their radar, but in the game of Rugby League, injuries are just another part of the challenge.

In the end, SuperCoach is a game of strategy, resilience, and a fair share of surprises.

The road to victory is never easy, but with the right combination of players and a bit of luck, anything is possible.

So lace up your boots, grab your jersey, and get ready for another thrilling round of Rugby League action.
