Round 8 has presented us with some elite matchups to pick from. We talk through them all, from halfback stats against the Cowboys to fullback trends against the hapless Dragons.

We bring you the safe picks, the captains no one is looking at, the risky picks that present plenty of upside and we tell you who to avoid in Round 8 of NRL SuperCoach!
