Team List Tuesday - Analysis Round 13

Brisbane Broncos v Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles
Suncorp Stadium - Friday 7:35pm

1. Darius Boyd 2. Jordan Kahu 3. Jack Reed 4. Justin Hodges 5. Daniel Vidot 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Josh McGuire 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Adam Blair 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Sam Thaiday
Interchange: 14. Jarrod Wallace 15. Francis Molo 16. Corey Oates 17. Matt Parcell

Changes from Last Round
In - Hodges, Thaiday Out - Maranta, Parker

Analysis - The second placed Broncos have opted to rest lock Corey Parker after giving Justin Hodges and Sam Thaiday a spell last week. Brisbane are playing with plenty of confidence at the moment but will be wary of a fired up Manly after their narrow loss against the Cowboys last week.

Supercoach Studs - Ben Hunt (108) has hit some form in 2015 and is worth having a look at this week if you wanted to make a play for him. Jack Reed (110) is in a purple patch of form and could make you some quick cash, however traditionally he hasn't been a Supercoach performer. Andrew McCullough (75) has been very consistent of late. The Broncos don't play in the killer Round 14 and 17 byes.

Supercoach Duds - Corey Parker (71) is being rested…well even God rested after the seventh day! Darius Boyd (30) has not hit the heights of past years and is not on the radar with so many quality fullbacks to choose from.


1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Peta Hiku 4. Steve Matai 5. Tom Trbojevic 6. Jamie Lyon 7. Kieran Foran 8. Luke Burgess 9. Matt Ballin 10. Willie Mason 11. Blake Leary 12. Justin Horo 13. Dunamis Lui
Interchange: 14. Tom Symonds 15. Jake Trbojevic 16. Feleti Mateo 17. Ligi Sao 18. James Hasson

Changes from Last Round
In - Mateo Out - Nil

Analysis - Manly looked in control for most of the match against the high flying Cowboys last week and should take plenty of confidence heading up to Suncorp Stadium. Feleti Mateo returns in the only change to the side.

Supercoach Studs - Kieran Foran (71) looked quite comfortable in the #7 up against Jonathan Thurston and has again been named there in the place of star half Daly Cherry-Evans who has again not been named but may be a late inclusion. Tom Trbojevic (52) is a gun, doesn't play in Round 14 but looks like a very handy dual position player. His breakeven is high this week due to a -2 in his second game but should see a few price rises from Round 15.

Supercoach Duds - James Hasson (9) didn't get too much action and has been replaced by Feleti Mateo (DNP) who will see more minutes from the bench.


Wests Tigers v Gold Coast Titans
Leichhardt Oval - Friday 7:35pm

1. James Tedesco 2. Kevin Naiqama 3. David Nofoaluma 4. Delouise Hoeter 5. Pat Richards 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Luke Brooks 8. Aaron Woods 9. Dene Halatau 10. Sauaso Sue 11. Curtis Sironen 12. Chris Lawrence 13. Martin Taupau
Interchange: 14. Ava Seumanufagai 15. Keith Galloway 16. Kyle Lovett 17. Jack Buchanan 18. Manaia Cherrington 19. Matthew Lodge

Changes from Last Round
In - Nofoaluma, Woods, Galloway Out - Simona, Santi

Analysis - Wests Tigers welcome back cult hero Keith Galloway, as well as Origin prop Aaron Woods. Tim Simona is out, replaced by David Nofoaluma. The Tigers traditionally lift for games at their spiritual home, Leichardt Oval and will see this game as crucial after coming off the bye.

Supercoach Studs - James Tedesco (52) will be a very popular trade for those that own Matt Moylan and for good reason. Delouise Hoeter (34) has been a solid buy and shapes as a crucial player over the bye period, as he has great base stats.

Supercoach Duds - Pat Richards (29) has hit a flat patch, but with the good bye coverage he it a capable body for Round 14.


1. Josh Hoffman 2. Anthony Don 3. James Roberts 19. Brad Tighe 5. Kevin Gordon 6. Aidan Sezer 7. Kane Elgey 8. Luke Douglas 9. Daniel Mortimer 10. Nate Myles 11. Ryan James 12. Dave Taylor 13. Lachlan Burr
Interchange: 14. Mark Ioane 15. Eddy Pettybourne 16. Ben Ridge 17. Kierran Moseley 18. Agnatius Paasi

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - No changes for the Gold Coast whose form improved against the Rabbitohs and in the end they were unlucky not to come away with the 2 points. The Titans will hope they can build on last week with a win which sees them appear for the first time in 2015 on a Friday night game.

Supercoach Studs - James Roberts (63) returned to his blistering best and will be looking to zero in on Canterbury's Curtis Rona at the top of the tryscoring list. Lachlan Burr (50) was a handy pick up and very nearly went big but unfortunately for owners, he dropped the ball cold over the stripe.

Supercoach Duds - Kane Elgey (17) has been and outstanding buy and one of the best rookies this year, however unless you need him for Round 14 and upgrade to James Maloney this week or another halves keeper may be a good option.


Newcastle Knights v Canberra Raiders
Hunter Stadium - Saturday 3:00pm

1. Dane Gagai 2. James McManus 3. Sione Mata'utia 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Akuila Uate 6. Carlos Tuimavave 7. Kurt Gidley 8. Kade Snowden 9. Adam Clydsdale 10. David Fa'alogo 11. Beau Scott 12. Tariq Sims 13. Jack Stockwell
Interchange: 14. Tyler Randell 15. Chris Houston 16. Korbin Sims 17. Sam Mataora

Changes from Last Round
In - Gidley, Snowden Out - Roberts, Tapine

Analysis - The bells continue to ring in Newcastle after yet another loss and they will be under huge pressure to turn their season around in front of their home fans. The effort from Newcastle was clearly there last week in Auckland, so there will be no excuses as they welcome back skipper Kurt Gidley and front row leader Kade Snowden.

Supercoach Studs - Dane Gagai (107) was outstanding at the back against the Warriors and he looked dangerous with every touch. He looks very comfortable in the #1 and could be a great buy for the run home. Akuila Uate (93) has been very good in a losing side of late.

Supercoach Duds - Tyrone Roberts (2) is out injured and thankfully the Knights have Kurt Gidley (DNP) returning. Sione Mata'tuia (30) hasn't yet found his electric form from the backend of 2014.


1. Jack Wighton 2. Edrick Lee 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Sisa Waqa 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Blake Austin 7. Sam Williams 8. Paul Vaughan 9. Josh Hodgson 10. David Shillington 11. Josh Papalii 12. Iosia Soliola 13. Shaun Fensom
Interchange: 14. Kurt Baptiste 15. Jarrad Kennedy 16. Frank Paul Nuuausala 17. Shannon Boyd

Changes from Last Round
In - Rapana Out - Bateman

Analysis - Canberra have gone from 3 straight wins to 3 straights losses in the blink of an eye and the young side will have learnt how quickly things can change in the NRL. The Raiders welcome back Jordan Rapana, which sees Sisa Waqa move back to centre and Jarrad Kennedy move to the bench.

Supercoach Studs - Shaun Fensom (76) again returned to 80 minutes, but with Jarrad Kennedy (67) moving back to the bench does this mean he will be back in the forward rotation? We will know more this week. Iosia Soliola (65) bounced back and showed he will be a keeper in the dual position of backrow/centre this year.

Supercoach Duds - Kurt Baptiste (6) has looked sharp coming off the bench but the form of Josh Hodgson (57) has limited his minutes.


South Sydney Rabbitohs v Warriors
nib Stadium - Saturday 5:30pm

1. Greg Inglis 2. Alex Johnston 3. Dylan Walker 4. Bryson Goodwin 5. Aaron Gray 6. John Sutton 7. Luke Keary 8. Thomas Burgess 9. Issac Luke 10. David Tyrrell 11. Nathan Brown 12. Chris McQueen 13. Jason Clark
Interchange: 14. Cameron McInnes 15. Chris Grevsmuhl 16. Tim Grant 17. George Burgess 18. Ben Lowe 19. John Olive

Changes from Last Round
In -Lowe, Olive (extended bench) Out - Nil

Analysis - No changes for the Rabbitohs, who give up their home game for NIB Stadium in Perth where they host the New Zealand Warriors. Much has been made of Greg Inglis' form and you get the feeling he is well overdue for a huge performance.

Supercoach Studs - Chris Grevsmuhl (83) was superb for the Bunnies last week and will be a key player over the bye period. Nathan Brown (59) has emerged as a decent cash cow now he is starting in the backrow. Issac Luke (71) returned decent numbers finally. John Sutton (78) has been outstanding two weeks in a row.

Supercoach Duds - Dylan Walker (15) has been a disaster but will surely come good. Aaron Gray (11) couldn't keep his high scores coming but will be handy for numbers in the coming weeks.


1. Sam Tomkins 2. Jonathan Wright 3. Tuimoala Lolohea 4. Solomone Kata 5. Manu Vatuvei 6. Chad Townsend 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Nathan Friend 10. Ben Matulino 11. Bodene Thompson 12. Ryan Hoffman 13. Simon Mannering
Interchange: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Sebastine Ikahihifo 16. Sam Lisone 17. Albert Vete 18. Dominique Peyroux 21. Ken Maumalo

Changes from Last Round
In - Maumolo, Peyroux (extended bench) Out - Nil

Analysis - The Warriors face a long road trip to Perth and will be looking to consolidate their position in the Top 8. If the Warriors are to be a force this season then they need to continue solid away form, winning 2 out of their last 3…although they were against the Sharks and the Eels. They need a big scalp.

Supercoach Studs - Shaun Johnson (75) has been in good form and manages to come up with some high scoring plays with his exciting brand of football. Manu Vatuvei (75) has flown under the radar and could be an excellent purchase over the bye period.

Supercoach Duds - Sam Tomkins (13) returned with a very quiet performance. Nathan Friend (33) will share the hooking duties with Siliva Havili (26) and not the full game as first thought.


Penrith Panthers v Melbourne Storm
Pepper Stadium - Saturday 7:30pm

1. Dallin Watene Zelezniak 2. Waqa Blake 3. Dean Whare 4. Isaah Yeo 5. David Simmons 6. Jamie Soward 7. Peter Wallace 8. Regan Campbell-Gillard 9. James Segeyaro 10. Sam McKendry 11. Lewis Brown 12. Sika Manu 13. Elijah Taylor
Interchange: 14. Bryce Cartwright 15. Jeremy Latimore 16. Tyrone Peachey 17. Nigel Plum 18. Adam Docker

Changes from Last Round
In - Whare, Peachey, Docker (extended bench) Out - Moylan, R Jennings

Analysis - Matt Moylan is a huge loss for the Panthers and has been ruled out between 6 to 10 weeks. Penrith do get centre Dean Whare back, while Dallin Watane-Zelezniak moves to fullback for Moylan. Tyrone Peachey (DNP) returns from suspension in another boost. Penrith have managed to perform without key players already this season but this was usually off the back of the brilliance of Moylan so this will be a big test.

Supercoach Studs - Bryce Cartwright (101) was simply outstanding in a losing side and may push his way into the starting side against the Storm. James Segeyaro (65) returned to playing 80 minutes at hooker in a great sign for patient owners.

Supercoach Duds - Matt Moylan (3) as mentioned is out for an extended period and is an immediate sell. Jamie Soward (22) was controversially hit late and left the field with a shoulder injury.


1. Billy Slater 2. Mahe Fonua 3. Will Chambers 4. Kurt Mann 5. Marika Koroibete 6. Blake Green 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Cameron Smith 10. Tim Glasby 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Tohu Harris 13. Dale Finucane
Interchange: 14. Ryan Hinchcliffe 15. Kenneath Bromwich 16. Dayne Weston 17. Felise Kaufusi 18. Christian Welch 19. Ben Hampton 20. Hymel Hunt

Changes from Last Round
In - Slater, Welsch, Hampton, Hunt (extended bench) Out - Munster

Analysis - Melbourne were thrashed by the Roosters on Monday night and will be bitterly disappointed with their performance. Billy Slater returns in a huge boost for the side. The Storm have named a big bench, which suggests players are on notice.

Supercoach Studs - Cameron Smith (51) was the highest scorer in one of Melbourne's poorest performance in recent memory. He will be a must have as soon as he gets the all clear after Origin 3.

Supercoach Duds - Jesse Bromwich (39) and Will Chambers (36) had quiet games from their usual standards but can be forgiven.


Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Sydney Roosters
Remondis Stadium - Sunday 4:00pm

1. Ben Barba 2. Valentine Holmes 3. Gerard Beale 4. Blake Ayshford 5. Michael Gordon 6. Jack Bird 7. Jeff Robson 8. Andrew Fifita 9. Michael Ennis 10. Matt Prior 11. Luke Lewis 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen
Interchange: 14. Jayson Bukuya 15. Chris Heighington 16. David Fifita 17. Sam Tagataese 18. Sosaia Feki 19. Ricky Leutele

Changes from Last Round
In - Gallen, Heighington, Feki, Leutele (extended bench) Out - Sauiluma, Arona

Analysis - The big news out of the Sharks line up is the return of skipper Paul Gallen, who is making a late audition for NSW Origin selection. The naming of Feki and Leutele on the extended bench gives the indication that there could be late changes.

Supercoach Studs - Jack Bird (54) continues his great scores in a losing side and is firming as a keeper. Andrew Fifita (62) will be primed for a big game with his spot on the NSW bench under threat.

Supercoach Duds - Ben Barba (30) again failed to fire and left us wondering how long he can hold on to the #1 jersey with so many contenders waiting on the flanks. Jeff Robson (8) made zero runs and 8 tackles.


1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Michael Jennings 4. Mitchell Aubusson 5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 6. James Maloney 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Jake Friend 10. Sam Moa 11. Boyd Cordner 12. Aidan Guerra 13. Isaac Liu
Interchange: 14. Jackson Hastings 15. Siosiua Taukeiaho 16. Kane Evans 17. Dylan Napa

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - The Roosters are unchanged from their eye catching performance against Melbourne on Monday night. What is scary is that the backline has been dominant and still have Blake Ferguson to return. Hard to see them not continuing their red hot form against the Sharks.

Supercoach Studs - As mentioned, the Roosters backline were amazing with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (90) Mitch Aubusson (94), Shaun Kenny-Dowall (99) all scoring tries. James Maloney (55) is at a bargain price this week and the way the Roosters are playing could be a very handy pick up for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Aiden Guerra (36) had one of his quieter games and can wait until Origin is over. Michael Jennings (28) was one of the only backline stars not to get many points on Monday night.


Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v St. George Illawarra Dragons
ANZ Stadium - Monday 4:00pm

1. Sam Perrett 2. Curtis Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Moses Mbye 5. Corey Thompson 6. Josh Reynolds 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. Aiden Tolman 9. Michael Lichaa 10. James Graham 11. Josh Jackson 12. Frank Pritchard 13. Greg Eastwood
Interchange: 14. Sam Kasiano 15. Tim Browne 16. Tony Williams 17. David Klemmer

Changes from Last Round
In - Graham, Hodkinson, Morris, Jackson Out - Kaufusi, Fualalo, Phillips

Analysis - Canterbury will be refreshed after their big win at Canberra Stadium in Round 11 and welcome back key players in skipper James Graham, half Trent Hodkinson as well as Josh Morris and Josh Jackson in this huge Queens Birthday clash against fierce rivals the Dragons.

Supercoach Studs - Josh Reynolds (103) was simply outstanding and was the difference against the Raiders in a positive sign for Bulldogs fans. He could well loom as a quality point of difference with the Bulldogs also playing in Round 14. Michael Lichaa (92) has been superb and made those that sold him for Issac Luke early on regret it.

Supercoach Duds - James Graham (DNP) has a high break even, thanks to him coming off with concussion in Round 10 against the Roosters. Great buy next week if he is not part of your squad.


1. Josh Dugan 2. Eto Nabuli 3. Euan Aitken 4. Peter Mata'utia 5. Jason Nightingale 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Benji Marshall 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Mike Cooper 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Joel Thompson 13. Trent Merrin
Interchange: 14. Ben Creagh 15. Will Matthews 16. Heath L'Estrange 17. Jack de Belin 19. Jake Marketo

Changes from Last Round
In - Thompson Out - Nil

Analysis - The Dragons will be relishing the prospect of taking on a near full strength Bulldogs side as a chance to prove they are now one of the teams to beat this season. Joel Thompson returns in the only change from last weeks thrashing of Cronulla.

Supercoach Studs - Gareth Widdop (88) again put on a clinic and has averaged close to 80pts in his past 3 games. Should the Dragons keep winning he will be pivotal. Likewise Josh Dugan (80) who has been one of the form fullbacks of the competition.

Supercoach Duds -Euan Aitken (31) has been a super buy and could be handed off either this week or next week. Trent Merrin (42) doesn't seem to be commanding the minutes he was and may not be a keeper this season unless his minutes improve.


Parramatta Eels v North Queensland Cowboys
Pirtek Stadium - Monday 7:00pm

1. Reece Robinson 2. Semi Radradra 3. William Hopoate 4. Brad Takairangi 5. Ryan Morgan 6. Corey Norman 7. Chris Sandow 8. Junior Paulo 9. Nathan Peats 10. Tim Mannah 11. Manu Ma'u 12. Tepai Moeroa 13. Anthony Watmough
Interchange: 14. David Gower 15. Daniel Alvaro 16. Danny Wicks 17. Pauli Pauli

Changes from Last Round
In - Gower Out - Joseph Paulo

Analysis - David Gower returns at the expense of Joseph Paulo. Parramatta finally got a deserved win on Friday night and will face a red hot Cowboys side. Chris Sandow will again be the key and the Eels will be looking to get the Semi ‘Trailer' Radradra plenty of ball.

Supercoach Studs - Semi Radradra (113) has been a highlight at the Eels and looks like scoring every time he touches the ball. A pure excitement machine. Of course Chris Sandow (64) followed up his previous score of 3 with a man of the match performance.

Supercoach Duds - Danny Wicks (38) has been a great buy this season and can be held due to Parramatta's great bye coverage, although a trade to South's Nathan Brown this week is not out of the question.


1. Lachlan Coote 2. Matthew Wright 3. Justin O'Neill 4. Kane Linnett 5. Antonio Winterstein 6. Michael Morgan 7. Johnathan Thurston 8. Matthew Scott 9. Jake Granville 10. James Tamou 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Ethan Lowe 13. Jason Taumalolo
Interchange: 14. Ray Thompson 15. John Asiata 16. Ben Hannant 17. Sam Hoare 19. Rory Kostjasyn

Changes from Last Round
In -Kostjasyn (extended bench) Out - Nil

Analysis - North Queensland on the back of the form of Jonathan Thurston and Michael Morgan are one of the form sides, but it was their form of their props Matt Scott and James Tamou that should also be noticed. Look very hard to beat in this match up, going for their 10th straight victory.

Supercoach Studs - Jonathan Thurston (93) again lead by example and looks in irresistible form heading into Origin 2. Likewise Matt Scott (130) who was unstoppable scoring 2 tries. Jason Taumalolo (76) is a red hot buy this week and won't come any cheaper.

Supercoach Duds - Ethan Lowe (48) has a high breakeven this week but is a must over the rep season, if not for the rest of the season.
