With teams for the Vegas games dropping, two weekends of major NRL trials finished, it's time to dive into the all-important Supercoach cheapie analysis for 2024.

In this week's episode of the SC Playbook podcast, 2020 runner-up Tim Williams, the SC Spy, 2019 champion Dez Creek and Matty the Waterboy are on deck for the NRL Supercoach 2024 Vegas round 1 show.

The boys assess the winners and losers from NRL team lists, with question marks around popular mid-range forwards Jai Arrow and Terrell May.

They also do a deep dive into the entire crop of cheapies to start the year, and analyse the NRL draw to determine the clubs with the softest and hardest starts to the season.
