Team List Tuesday - Analysis Round 21

Wests Tigers v Melbourne Storm
Leichhardt Oval - Friday 7:45pm

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

Changes from Last Round
In - Farah, Seumanufagai, Santi Out - Lawrence, Taupau

Analysis - The Wests Tigers welcome back Robbie Farah after a long absence and they desperately need his experience and guidance to get them off the bottom of the ladder. The Tigers lose Martin Taupau who has been suspended for 3 weeks and Chris Lawrence to a leg injury.

Supercoach Studs - James Tedesco (75) is the only Tigers player you must have for the run home, he continues to be the focal point of the Tigers attack. Tim Simona (68) had a strong game against the Roosters despite the heavy defeat.

Supercoach Duds - Aaron Woods (39) was quiet but with the possible suspensions to Andrew Fifita and Jesse Bromwich you may have bigger problems in the front row this week.

1. Cameron Munster 2. Marika Koroibete 3. Will Chambers 4. Tohu Harris 5. Matt Duffie 6. Blake Green 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Cameron Smith 10. Tim Glasby 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Kenneath Bromwich 13. Ryan Hinchcliffe
Interchange: 14. Dale Finucane 15. Mahe Fonua 16. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 17. Christian Welch

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - Melbourne have hit their straps in the past fortnight with impressive wins over the Panthers and St George. Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith are really warming to the task despite missing Billy Slater, and their young forwards have stepped it up a notch.

Supercoach Studs - Cameron Smith (74) continues to be the leading hooker in the competition and there are none more reliable. Tohu Harris (73) hasn't let the switch to the centres dent his scores. Marika Koroibete (50) continues to burn down the sideline.

Supercoach Duds - Jesse Bromwich (47) could be in a lot of trouble as he faces the judiciary on Wednesday night to fight a biting charge on Josh Dugan…stay tuned. Will Chambers (44) was reasonably quite but didn't look too far away from the attack and generally produces good base stats.

Sydney Roosters v Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
Allianz Stadium - Friday 7:45pm

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Michael Jennings 4. Blake Ferguson 5. Brendan Elliott 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 19. Matt McIlwrick 20. Suaia Matagi

Changes from Last Round
In - Evans, McIlwrick, Matagi (all extended bench) Out - Nil

Analysis - The Roosters have now won their last 6 matches and head into their Friday night blockbuster against Canterbury with no changes. Mitchell Pearce becomes the youngest player to play 200 first grade games and Dylan Napa plays game number 50.

Supercoach Studs - James Maloney (77) has been in super form and is a great option for Shaun Johnson this week. Aidan Guerra (49) is a decent option as he offers dual position, which will be very handy with the amount of injuries in the backend of the season.

Supercoach Duds - Blake Ferguson (31) was an extremely popular buy last weekend and will come good. Certain hold.

1. Brett Morris 2. Curtis Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Timoteo Lafai 5. Sam Perrett 6. Moses Mbye 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. David Klemmer 9. Michael Lichaa 10. James Graham 11. Josh Jackson 12. Frank Pritchard 13. Greg Eastwood
Interchange: 14. Sam Kasiano 15. Shaun Lane 16. Lloyd Perrett 17. Tim Browne 19. Corey Thompson 22. Danny Fualalo

Changes from Last Round
In - Mbye, Thompson, Fualalo Out - Reynolds

Analysis - Canterbury will be as Des Hasler described it, ‘filthy' regarding their performance at Belmore against the Sharks last Sunday. The Dogs have a tough run home and need to really step up. They lose five-eighth Josh Reynolds for this important clash but Moses Mbye is a pretty handy replacement.

Supercoach Studs - Josh Morris (77) has been finding the stripe lately and has averaged nearly 65 over the last 5 rounds. Frank Pritchard (91) has been one of the Bulldogs best this year but is in doubt with a rib injury.

Supercoach Duds - Brett Morris (10) was a major dud for many teams last week. He received no ball due to the amount of penalties and drop ball which severely restricted his involvement. No need to panic. Josh Jackson (35) also produced an average score but like Aidan Guerra can offer value to your bench.

New Zealand Warriors v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
Mt Smart Stadium - Saturday 3:00pm

1. Sam Tomkins 2. Ken Maumalo 3. Konrad Hurrell 4. Solomone Kata 5. Manu Vatuvei 6. Chad Townsend 7. Tuimoala Lolohea 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Nathan Friend 10. Albert Vete 11. Ben Matulino 12. Simon Mannering 13. Sebastine Ikahihifo
Interchange: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 16. Charlie Gubb 17. Sam Lisone 18. Sione Lousi 21. Jonathan Wright

Changes from Last Round
In - Maumalo, Vatuvei, Hurrell, Lisone, Ikahihifo, Gubb, Lousi (extended bench) Out - Fisiahi, Johnson, Wright, Thompson, Rapira

Analysis - A heap of changes for the Warriors, the biggest loss of the season is that of star halfback Shaun Johnson. Tuimoala Lolohea has been handed the number 7 in his absence in possibly a sign of things to come in 2016. Bodene Thompson is also out which sees both Simon Mannering and Ben Matulino swith to the edges. There is some good news however, with the return of cult heroes Manu Vatuvei and Konrad Hurrell.

Supercoach Studs - As mentioned Simon Mannering (79) and Ben Matulino (74) switch to the second row and hopefully this shouldn't affect their scores as Mannering will likely still defend in the middle and Matulino will likely play more minutes.

Supercoach Duds - Shaun Johnson (51) is obviously a disaster for a lot of teams this week but the cash made on his freakish performances certainly cushions the blow. Bodene Thompson (54) goes for scans on his ankle shortly and is likely to be out for 1-2 weeks.

1. Michael Gordon 2. Sosaia Feki 3. Gerard Beale 4. Ricky Leutele 5. Valentine Holmes 6. Jack Bird 7. Jeff Robson 8. Chris Heighington 9. Michael Ennis 10. Sam Tagataese 11. Anthony Tupou 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen
Interchange: 14. Ben Barba 15. Matt Prior 16. Tinirau Arona 17. Jayson Bukuya 21. Junior Roqica

Changes from Last Round
In - Arona, Tupou Out - Fifita, Lewis

Analysis - The Sharks again showed tremendous fight to defeat the Bulldogs in front of a hostile crowd at Belmore and will grow in confidence as the head over to New Zealand to take on the Warriors. Andrew Fifita could be out for an extended period in a terrible loss for the side, likewise the loss of Luke Lewis is also a blow this week. A win here will really stamp the Sharks place in the Top 8.

Supercoach Studs - Paul Gallen (110) is an absolute must this week before his price starts to rise again. Wade Graham (81) has been outstanding this season and is a good point of difference.

Supercoach Duds - Andrew Fifita (59) is a hold until we find out the length of his suspension, which should happen by Friday. Luke Lewis (21) was a popular pick up last week but will be out for 1-2 weeks.

North Queensland Cowboys v Canberra Raiders
1300SMILES Stadium - Saturday 5:30pm

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. Rory Kostjasyn 15. John Asiata 16. Scott Bolton 17. Ben Hannant

Changes from Last Round
In -Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - The Cowboys head back to Townsville this week to face the up and down Canberra side who have not won in Townsville in 9 years! North Queensland are unchanged from the side who destroyed Parramatta late on Monday night.

Supercoach Studs - Jake Granville (127) again went huge at hooker and if you have him, keep him. Jason Taumalolo (104) finally fired but you might want to see if he can back it up against the Raiders before jumping on board.

Supercoach Duds - Ethan Lowe (45) has been great this year but needs to be moved on for a more consistent back rower.

1. Jack Wighton 2. Edrick Lee 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Blake Austin 7. Josh McCrone 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 - McCrone Out - Waqa

Analysis - Canberra left it late against the Panthers but came away with the valuable 2 points and will now look to put the competition on notice by upsetting the high flying Cowboys. Their away record has been outstanding winning 6 from 9 away games in 2015.

Supercoach Studs - Blake Austin (58) is a very good option for those looking for a point of difference for the run home, this is the last time the Raiders play a side currently in the Top 8 in the regular season. Josh Papalli (58) and David Shillington (59) are producing consistent scores.

Supercoach Duds - Iosia Soliola (23) has done his dash and can be moved on if you have the trades.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles v Brisbane Broncos
Central Coast Stadium - Saturday 7:30pm

1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Jamie Lyon 4. Steve Matai 5. Peta Hiku 6. Kieran Foran 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Jake Trbojevic 9. Matt Ballin 10. Willie Mason 11. Feleti Mateo 12. Justin Horo 13. Blake Leary
Interchange: 14. Jesse Sene-Lefao 15. Michael Chee-Kam 16. James Hasson 17. Josh Starling 20. Jayden Hodges

Changes from Last Round
In - Horo, Leary, Chee-Kam, Sene-Lefao Out - Symonds, Sao, Burgess

Analysis - A host of changes to the Manly side which sees Justin Horo come in for Tom Symonds and Blake Leary return for Ligi Sao. Manly upset the Warriors in New Zealand which is no mean feat and will back themselves at Brookvale.

Supercoach Studs - Jorge Taufua (86) has returned to form in a big way and a huge point of difference for those willing to roll the dice. Brett Stewart (75) is on fire and returns to Brookvale where he scores more than Lenny Kravitz.

Supercoach Duds - Steve Matai (5) left the field concussing himself, he has been named this week.

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. Jarrod Wallace 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Jo Ofanhengaue 15. Mitchell Dodds 16. Corey Oates 17. Kodi Nikorima 18. Dale Copley

Changes from Last Round
In -Reed, Ofahengaue Out - Blair

Analysis - The Broncos have now won 8 on the trot and will get closer to guaranteeing a home semi with another win at Brookvale. The Broncos welcome back Jack Reed from suspension, which sees Jordan Kahu move to the wing.

Supercoach Studs - Ben Hunt (93) and Anthony Milford (98) are obvious options for those looking to replace Shaun Johnson. Corey Parker (104) scored a try and is a solid captain choice as usual. Matt Gillett (65) averages over 60 and does get the odd try.

Supercoach Duds - Justin Hodges (25) is winding down after Origin but expect to see him light up around finals time. Andrew McCullough (39) had a quiet game against the Titans.

St. George Illawarra Dragons v Newcastle Knights
Jubilee Oval - Sunday 2:00pm

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. Jack de Belin 15. Jake Marketo 16. Craig Garvey 17. Will Matthews 18. Mark Ioane

Changes from Last Round
In - Garvey Out - L'Estrange

Analysis - It's now 7 losses in a row for the struggling Dragons and they will be desperate for the win against the battling Knights. Craig Garvey replaces Heath L'Estrange as the bench hooker and Ben Creagh has been named to start with Will Matthews on the bench. This is surely it for the Dragons finals chances.

Supercoach Studs - Josh Dugan (58) has been the Dragons best in their recent losses and looks determined to lead them to victory since his Origin return. Extremely good value this week.

Supercoach Duds - Gareth Widdop (17) has slumped dramatically, reflecting St George's recent form. Mike Cooper (42) is back in the forward rotation and receiving less minutes than in recent weeks.

1. Kurt Gidley 2. Jake Mamo 3. Sione Mata'utia 4. Dane Gagai 5. Chanel Mata'utia 6. Carlos Tuimavave 7. Tyrone Roberts 8. Kade Snowden 9. Adam Clydsdale 10. Korbin Sims 11. Beau Scott 12. Tariq Sims 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 14. Tyler Randell 15. David Fa'alogo 16. Chris Houston 17. Clint Newton

Changes from Last Round
In - Tuimavave, Randell Out - Levi, McManus

Analysis - Newcastle were embarrassed last week against a rampant South Sydney side and it ultimately cost Rick Stone his job. It will be very interesting to see how Newcastle respond to this, with club great Danny Buderus taking the reins for the rest of the season.

Supercoach Studs - Kade Snowden (97) scored the first try of the match and has been outstanding in the back half of this year. A great replacement for Fifita or Bromwich should they be wiped out for 2015.

Supercoach Duds - It's getting harder to see where the Knights are going to get their points from, Dane Gagai (33) has had a terrible fortnight but is a proven Supercoach performer. Time to weigh up his keeper credentials.

South Sydney Rabbitohs v Penrith Panthers
ANZ Stadium - Sunday 4:00pm

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

Changes from Last Round
In -Turner Out - Lowe

Analysis - Souths sent a message to the rest of the competition last weekend and the form of star players Greg Inglis, Dylan Walker and Issac Luke was certainly impressive. The Rabbitohs will be looking to continue their great form and look very hard to stop in this one.

Supercoach Studs - Greg Inglis (153) is a superstar that many forgot about. He was like a man playing against the under 7's last week. Adam Reynolds (68), Issac Luke (92), Dylan Walker (100) and John Sutton (76) are all options for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Not many bad performers in the Rabbitohs side. Joel Reddy (17) and Ben Lowe (9) weren't involved in the try fest.

1. William Smith 2. Robert Jennings 3. Waqa Blake 4. Isaah Yeo 5. Josh Mansour 6. Isaac John 7. Jamie Soward 8. Nigel Plum 9. James Segeyaro 10. Regan Campbell-Gillard 11. Lewis Brown 12. Sika Manu 13. Elijah Taylor
Interchange: 14. Apisai Koroisau 15. Jeremy Latimore 16. Tyrone Peachey 17. Bryce Cartwright

Changes from Last Round
In - Mansour, John, Koroisau Out - Whare, Wallace, Plum

Analysis - Penrith were well in the game against the Raiders but couldn't quite take control of the match and in the end the Raiders literally ran away with their slim finals hopes, unless they can turn it around against the defending premiers. Josh Mansour and Isaac John return from injury and Api Koroisau returns to the 17.

Supercoach Studs - James Segeyaro (125) was superb against the Raiders but did pick up a niggling calf injury, which may explain Api Koroisau being added to the bench in a blow for owners.

Supercoach Duds - Bryce Cartwright (43) has again been named on the bench but Cartwright does make an ideal back up player outside your 17 for those with limited trades.

Gold Coast Titans v Parramatta Eels
Cbus Super Stadium - Monday 7:00pm

1. Josh Hoffman 2. David Mead 3. James Roberts 4. Nene Macdonald 5. Kevin Gordon 6. Aidan Sezer 7. Kane Elgey 8. Luke Douglas 9. Beau Falloon 10. Nate Myles 11. Ryan James 12. Lachlan Burr 13. Greg Bird
Interchange: 14. Agnatius Paasi 15. Eddy Pettybourne 16. Matt White 17. Daniel Mortimer 18. Dave Taylor 19. David Hala

Changes from Last Round
In - Mortimer, Taylor, Hala (both extended bench) Out - Redman

Analysis - The Titans were beaten up by big brother the Broncos on Friday night but return home to host the Eels in Monday night football. Daniel Mortimer returns to the squad in the only change

Supercoach Studs - Luke Douglas (58) has been scoring decent scores but there are better options in the front row this week.

Supercoach Duds - James Roberts (44) is in the same boat long term as Dane Gagai in that he has been a weapon this year but hard to see where the points are coming from…although he is a certain hold this week against Parramatta.

1. Reece Robinson 2. Semi Radradra 3. William Hopoate 4. Brad Takairangi 5. Ryan Morgan 6. Joseph Paulo 7. Luke Kelly 8. Junior Paulo 9. Nathan Peats 10. Tim Mannah 11. Manu Ma'u 12. Tepai Moeroa 13. David Gower
Interchange: 14. Pauli Pauli 15. Darcy Lussick 16. Daniel Alvaro 17. Isaac De Gois 18. Cody Nelson

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - Parramatta woes continued against the Cowboys where they were thrashed by the Cowboys in the second half. The Eels travel to the Gold Coast with no changes and are down to the bare bones of their squad after a horror injury toll.

Supercoach Studs - Semi Radradra (56) is the only Supercoach relevant player from the Eels and continues to knock out decent scores.

Supercoach Duds - Tim Mannah (34) didn't keep his high scores going last week. Will Hopoate (23) needs to lift if Parramatta are to beat the Titans.
