Team List Tuesday - Analysis Round 19

Parramatta Eels v Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
ANZ Stadium - Friday 7:35pm

1. Corey Norman 2. Semi Radradra 3. William Hopoate 4. Brad Takairangi 5. Ryan Morgan 6. Luke Kelly 7. Chris Sandow 8. Junior Paulo 9. Isaac De Gois 10. Tim Mannah 11. Manu Ma'u 12. Tepai Moeroa 13. Anthony Watmough
Interchange: 14. Darcy Lussick 15. Pauli Pauli 16. Danny Wicks 17. David Gower 18. Joseph Paulo

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - Parramatta host their bitter rivals Canterbury in a Friday night blockbuster which sees their season go on the line. No changes for the Eels, who are fresh off the bye. It's now or never for the Eels , who desperately need to make a statement.

Supercoach Studs - Semi Radradra (90) is again unstoppable and will no doubt be the key the Parramatta scoring points this Friday night. Chris Sandow (84) went into the bye flying but is not an option at this time of year.

Supercoach Duds - Brad Takairangi (8) didn't see much action against the Tigers. Darcy Lussick (19) moves to the bench this week.


1. Brett Morris 2. Curtis Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Timoteo Lafai 5. Sam Perrett 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. Shaun Lane 16. David Klemmer 17. Moses Mbye 22. Tim Browne

Changes from Last Round
In -Hodkinson Out - Nil

Analysis - Canterbury head into the local derby desperate to put their finals aspirations back on track. NSW Halfback Trent Hodkinson returns to the starting side, which sees young gun Moses Mbye start from the bench. Expect the Dogs pack to lift against the Eels after a scrappy showing against Brisbane last start.

Supercoach Studs - Shaun Lane (65) has come out of nowhere to become one of the best rookie buys of the season, bad luck to those who missed out as he went up a staggering $58k. Josh Morris (67) was again impressive and has been a keeper in the past. James Graham (53) is amazing value this week, as is fullback Brett Morris (46).

Supercoach Duds - David Klemmer (33) had a tough week and will see less minutes with the return of skipper James Graham. Curtis Rona (15) was kept very quiet against Brisbane.


Melbourne Storm v Penrith Panthers
AAMI Park - Friday 7:35pm

1. Cameron Munster 2. Marika Koroibete 3. Will Chambers 4. Hymel Hunt 5. Richard Kennar 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. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 17. Felise Kaufusi

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - Melbourne have made no changes for skipper Cameron Smith's 300th First Grade match and expect the Storm to want to send their club hero out a winner. Melbourne have now lost 4 on the trot and their last win was actually against the Panthers back in Round 13.

Supercoach Studs - Tohu Harris (58) registered a decent score but will be a popular trade to Paul Gallen this week. Cameron Munster (55) flew under most people's guards and has been a great cash cow.

Supercoach Duds - Richie Kennar (16) nearly scored a hat trick last week…but unfortunately none of his tries were given, could be an auto emergency nightmare! Will Chambers (20) was again quiet but will come good as the Storm push for the finals. The same can be said for Jesse Bromwich (47) and Cameron Smith (42) who are keepers until the end.


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

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - Penrith have stuck with the same 17 that were defeated by the Roosters on Saturday night. Bryce Cartwright has led the Panthers on a run of late and with halves Jamie Soward and Peter Wallace guiding them around the Panthers will be looking to hit back immediately down at AAMI Park on Friday night.

Supercoach Studs - Bryce Cartwright (70) is one of the buys of the round this week as he has almost certainly locked up a starting spot in Ivan Cleary's side for the rest of the year with his enterprising play. Elijah Taylor (71) was strong but Tyrone Peachey (33) will most likely eat into his game time.

Supercoach Duds - Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (25) put in a dud performance after emerging as a great point of difference in recent weeks. David Simmons (7) has gone nowhere near his 4 try performance against the Tigers a few weeks ago and now has a huge breakeven…trap.


Canberra Raiders v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
GIO Stadium - Saturday 3:00pm

1. Jack Wighton 2. Edrick Lee 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Sisa Waqa 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Blake Austin 7. Kurt Baptiste 8. Paul Vaughan 9. Josh Hodgson 10. David Shillington 11. Josh Papalii 12. Iosia Soliola 13. Shaun Fensom
Interchange: 14. Joseph Leilua 15. Frank Paul Nuuausala 16. Jarrad Kennedy 19. Shannon Boyd

Changes from Last Round
In - Leilua Out - Williams

Analysis - Canberra host the Sharks at GIO Stadium and will be missing halfback Sam Williams with a pectoral injury for the next five weeks. He has been surprising replaced by bench hooker Kurt Baptiste… is Ricky Stuart playing smoke and mirrors here? Joey Leilua returns via the bench and may again see some time in the forwards unless there is a backline re-shuffle prior to kickoff.

Supercoach Studs - Blake Austin (85) was on fire against the Knights, scoring a hat trick in 15 minutes. Josh Papalli (77) is an intriguing point of difference, only owned by 7% of teams. Jarrod Croker (74) hit back and will be handy for the back end of the season.

Supercoach Duds - Shaun Fensom (50) is too much of a risk of not getting the minutes this year, despite his high work rate. Iosia Soliola (43) is getting close to the chopping block with players like Paul Gallen and Bryce Cartwright emerging as key buys this week. His dual position status is worth weighing up though.


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

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - The Sharks remain unchanged from their win over the Dragons on Sunday. The Sharks have now won 4 of their last five and are now in a position to make a run at the 8. With Paul Gallen back in the side and guns Andrew Fifita and Luke Lewis in form, they will fancy their chances down in the nation's capital on Saturday afternoon.

Supercoach Studs - Paul Gallen (77) is at his lowest price this year and played close to 80 minutes on Sunday which means he is a must at some stage. Luke Lewis (92) is a great buy for the backline and a point of difference. Andrew Fifita (82) again found the try line and is going to be a key figure for the Sharks run home.

Supercoach Duds - Jack Bird (39) has a big breakeven this week but has been superb this year and can be considered a keeper for those low on trades. Ben Barba (33) is starting to find some form but from the bench he is unlikely to rack up big scores.


Newcastle Knights v Gold Coast Titans
Hunter Stadium - Saturday 5:30pm

1. Kurt Gidley 2. James McManus 3. Sione Mata'utia 4. Dane Gagai 5. Akuila Uate 6. Jarrod Mullen 7. Tyrone Roberts 8. Kade Snowden 9. Tyler Randell 10. Korbin Sims 11. Beau Scott 12. Tariq Sims 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 14. Danny Levi 15. David Fa'alogo 16. Joseph Tapine 17. Sam Mataora 18. Paterika Vaivai

Changes from Last Round
In - Scott Out - Vaivai

Analysis - Newcastle were completely outclassed in Canberra on Friday night and are now desperate to turn things around. Experienced NSW backrower Beau Scott returns to the side in the only change.

Supercoach Studs - Kurt Gidley (102) tried his heart out in the freezing conditions and was assisted well from halves partner Jarrod Mullen (68). Akuila Uate (98) again dominated in a losing side and has averaged nearly 70pts in the last 5 rounds.

Supercoach Duds - Tariq Sims (32) had one of his poorer games. Tyrone Roberts (29) has come out during the week and said that Trent Hodkinson won't be getting his jersey next year without a fight…time to prove it.



1. David Mead 2. Anthony Don 3. James Roberts 4. Nene Macdonald 5. Kevin Gordon 6. Josh Hoffman 7. Daniel Mortimer 8. Luke Douglas 9. Beau Falloon 10. Nate Myles 11. Ryan James 12. Dave Taylor 13. Greg Bird
Interchange: 14. Agnatius Paasi 15. Eddy Pettybourne 16. Nathaniel Peteru 17. Chad Redman 18. Ben Ridge

Changes from Last Round
In - Bird Out - Burr

Analysis - The Titans were embarrassed at home against Manly and will be eager to put that performance behind them and get back on track against the struggling Knights in Newcastle. Gold Coast welcome back the experienced Greg Bird from an 8 week suspension in a huge boost for the team.

Supercoach Studs - Dave Taylor (89) was one of the few positive signs from their loss to the Sea Eagles and there will be hope he can do it again against the Knights. Nene MacDonald (55) has hit the ground running for his new club with another strong performance.

Supercoach Duds - Lachlan Burr (21) makes way for Greg Bird (suspended) and can be cashed in. Nate Myles (36) had an Origin hangover and scored poorly.


St. George Illawarra Dragons v South Sydney Rabbitohs
Sydney Cricket Ground - Saturday 7:30pm

1. Josh Dugan 2. Justin Hunt 3. Euan Aitken 4. Peter Mata'utia 5. Jason Nightingale 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Benji Marshall 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Ben Creagh 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Joel Thompson 13. Mike Cooper
Interchange: 14. George Rose 15. Will Matthews 16. Jake Marketo 17. Heath L'Estrange 18. Drew Hutchison 19. Charly Runciman 20. Mark Ioane

Changes from Last Round
In - Dugan, Marshall, Frizell, Thompson Out - Nil

Analysis - St George welcome back Josh Dugan, Benji Marshall, Joel Thompson and Tyson Frizell in a timely boost for the struggling side. The Dragons will be desperate for the 2 points against traditional rivals Souths as they have now lost 5 in a row.

Supercoach Studs - Euan Aitken (35) has been one of the buys of 2015 and can be upgraded this week for a gun. Mike Cooper (66) continues the consistent scores and is has been a great money spinner. Charly Runciman (86) has been squeezed out for the returning Josh Dugan.

Supercoach Duds - Gareth Widdop (34) is leaking cash but does get regular halves partner Benji Marshall back this week.


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

Changes from Last Round
In -Inglis, McInnes, Grant, Tyrrell Out - Reddy, Luke, Clark

Analysis - Souths are fresh off the bye and will be looking to hit back at the SCG after their heavy defeat to the Panthers last start. Greg Inglis returns to fullback, which sees Alex Johnson return to the wing. Issac Luke has been suspended and is replaced by Cameron McInnes.

Supercoach Studs - George Burgess (67) has bounced back from his form slump and is now a keeper until the end of the season. Issac Luke (80) looked sharp against the Panthers but has copped a 1 match suspension. Greg Inglis (Origin) was outstanding in the last 2 Origin games and is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Supercoach Duds - Aaron Grey (18) has been a solid cow and should have been moved on last week.


Sydney Roosters v New Zealand Warriors
Allianz Stadium - Sunday 2:00pm

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Michael Jennings 4. Blake Ferguson 5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 6. James Maloney 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Jake Friend 10. Dylan Napa 11. Boyd Cordner 12. Mitchell Aubusson 13. Aidan Guerra
Interchange: 14. Sam Moa 15. Isaac Liu 16. Kane Evans 17. Siosiua Taukeiaho 18. Jackson Hastings

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - The Roosters host the Warriors in what promises to be the match of the round. Aidan Guerra returns to the run on side at lock after a tough Origin schedule in the only change. The Roosters can push their Top 4 chances with a win at Allianz Stadium.

Supercoach Studs - Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (88) is outstanding and will be looking to give his future club a glimpse of 2016. Blake Ferguson (87) was man of the match against the Panthers and is worth keeping an eye on for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - James Maloney (36) had a quiet game but history suggests he will turn it around. Boyd Cordner (30) like a lot of other Origin players last weekend looked very flat.


1. Sam Tomkins 2. Tuimoala Lolohea 3. David Fusitua 4. Solomone Kata 5. Jonathan Wright 6. Chad Townsend 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Nathan Friend 10. Ben Matulino 11. Bodene Thompson 12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 13. Simon Mannering
Interchange: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Sione Lousi 16. Charlie Gubb 17. Albert Vete 18. Sam Rapira

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

Analysis - The Warriors were outstanding against the Storm, moving into the Top 4 for the first time in 2015. Playing the Roosters in Sydney will be the real acid test to see where they are at and if they are in fact the real deal in 2015.

Supercoach Studs - Shaun Johnson (118) is blowing them out of the water with another 5 star performance, he is a must in this form but could be too expensive for those who didn't select him earlier. Speaking of must haves, Bodene Thompson (89) is a great buy this week. Tuimoala Lolohea (72) is getting plenty of ball and making it count, he is due for another big pay rise this week.

Supercoach Duds - Solomone Kata (37) can be upgraded this week to a keeper…possibly even to team mate Bodene Thompson. Ben Matulino (40) played a full game but did not return a great score. Raymond Faitala-Mariner's (29) hands let him down, dropping 2 good chances close to the line, but looks to be getting a fair crack at Ryan Hoffman's position while he is out injured.


Brisbane Broncos v Wests Tigers
Suncorp Stadium - Sunday 4:00pm

1. Darius Boyd 2. Lachlan Maranta 3. Jack Reed 4. Justin Hodges 5. Jordan Kahu 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Sam Thaiday 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Adam Blair 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Jarrod Wallace 15. Mitchell Dodds 16. Corey Oates 17. Matt Parcell 18. Daniel Vidot

Changes from Last Round
In -Hodges Out - Nil

Analysis - The Broncos were impressive against the highly fancied Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium last week and go in red hot favourites against cellar dwellers the Wests Tigers. Brisbane welcome back strike centre Justin Hodges in a big shot in the arm to their chances.

Supercoach Studs - Matt Gillett (61) is a great point of difference and certainly worth considering, especially with the season ending injury to prop Josh McGuire, which forces Sam Thaiday (76) to prop. Corey Parker (78) should also see plenty of minutes….as he should. Anthony Milford (67) continues his great form.

Supercoach Duds - Darius Boyd (36) is in a similar mold to the Warriors Sam Tomkins in that his efforts don't tend to reflect into big Supercoach scores. Jack Reed (28) is back to normal.


1. James Tedesco 2. Kevin Naiqama 3. Nathan Milone 4. Tim Simona 5. Pat Richards 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Luke Brooks 8. Aaron Woods 9. Dene Halatau 10. Sauaso Sue 11. Kyle Lovett 12. Chris Lawrence 13. Martin Taupau
Interchange: 14. Manaia Cherrington 15. Ava Seumanufagai 16. Keith Galloway 17. Brenden Santi 18. Jack Buchanan

Changes from Last Round
In - Simona, Brooks, Galloway Out - Hoeter, Drinkwater

Analysis - Robbie Farah has not been named, but the Tigers do welcome back half Luke Brooks, as well as the experienced Keith Galloway and attacking centre Tim Simona. Delouise Hoeter and Josh Drinkwater make way. The Tigers make the trip to Brisbane as heavy underdogs.

Supercoach Studs - James Tedesco (113) is enjoying his best ever season and is a must for the run home. Kyle Lovett (50) has been a very handy addition over the bye period and should be cashed in now.

Supercoach Duds - Martin Taupau (44) has slipped a bit recently but will look to lead the young Tigers pack against the experienced Broncos.


Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles v North Queensland Cowboys
Brookvale Oval - Monday 7:00pm

1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Jamie Lyon 4. Steve Matai 5. Tom Trbojevic 6. Kieran Foran 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Jake Trbojevic 9. Matt Ballin 10. Willie Mason 11. Feleti Mateo 12. Tom Symonds 13. Dunamis Lui
Interchange: 14. Luke Burgess 15. Josh Starling 16. Justin Horo 17. Ligi Sao 19. Jayden Hodges

Changes from Last Round
In - Lui Out - Nil

Analysis - Manly are making a last ditch run to the finals and will relish the chance to test themselves against a full strength Cowboys at Brookvale Oval. The Sea Eagles were ruthless against the Gold Coast and enter this clash full of confidence. The match up of Daly Cherry-Evans versus Jonathan Thurston is worth the price of admission alone.

Supercoach Studs - Jamie Lyon (96) has been a keeper in past seasons and looked in great touch in his first match back from injury. Jorge Taufua (83) has also been back to his best. Brett Stewart (87) went big away from Brookvale!

Supercoach Duds - Daly Cherry-Evans (44) has been quiet in the past fortnight but no need to panic, like James Maloney history suggests he will fire sooner or later.


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. Ben Hannant 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Ethan Lowe 13. Jason Taumalolo
Interchange: 14. Rory Kostjasyn 15. John Asiata 16. Scott Bolton 17. Sam Hoare 19. Patrick Kaufusi

Changes from Last Round
In -Morgan, Thurston, Scott Out - Thompson, Lui, Hall

Analysis - The Cowboys welcome back superstar Jonathan Thurston, as well as key players Matt Scott and Michael Morgan. Fresh off the bye, North Queensland will be looking to kick on to consolidate the Top 4 spot.

Supercoach Studs - Jake Granville (74) has been a great point of difference and has averaged over 70 in the last 5 rounds. Gavin Cooper (59) should continue his decent scores with Thurston back in the side.

Supercoach Duds - If you didn't sell him last week, Lachlan Coote (49) is a sell this week and has been a great cash cow.
