Teamlist Tuesday Analysis - 2016 NRL Round 14

We're back to a full week of fixtures this week. Get Sam's breakdown of the ins and outs as well as the studs and duds in your fantasy leagues.


1. Darius Boyd 2. Corey Oates 5. Jordan Kahu 4. James Roberts 18. Greg Eden 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Josh McGuire 9. Travis Waddell 14. Jarrod Wallace 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 10. Sam Thaiday 15. Tevita Pangai Junior 16. Adam Blair 17. Kodi Nikorima

In - Corey Oates, Matt Gillett, Travis Waddell

Out - Herman Ese'ese, Joe Ofahengaue, Lachlan Maranta

Analysis - Brisbane host the Raiders it what looms as a vital match for the former competition favourites as they have now slumped to 3 losses in a row. The Broncos welcome back Queensland representatives Corey Oates and Matt Gillett to the starting side, which sees Herman Ese'ese and Lachlan Maranta drop out. Former Raider Tevita Pangai Jr holds his spot in the 17 against his former club.

Supercoach Studs - Tevita Pangai Jr (72) was outstanding against the Warriors and has held his spot in the 17, he is a great rookie option in the forwards this week, but does face some stiff competition for minutes. Ben Hunt (58) is still a solid option over the bye rounds and has a 3 round average of over 60pts.  

Supercoach Duds - Corey Parker (44) struggled to rack up a big score after Origin but did retain the kicking duties.  Anthony Milford (37) again struggled to rack up a big score but will be up for a big one against his former club. James Roberts (22) has also suffered during the Broncos dip in form  

1. Zac Santo 2. Brenko Lee 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Blake Austin 7. Aidan Sezer 8. Junior Paulo 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Paul Vaughan 11. Josh Papalii 12. Elliot Whitehead 18. Iosia Soliola
Interchange: 14. Kurt Baptiste 16. Clay Priest 17. Joseph Tapine 13. Luke Bateman

In - Zac Santo, Paul Vaughan

Out - Jack Wighton, Shannon Boyd

Analysis - Canberra have found form, making it 3 wins in a row after they defeated the Sea Eagles last Friday night at Canberra Stadium. They now face their biggest test of the season as they head to Suncorp Stadium to take on competition heavyweights Brisbane. Jack Wighton and Shannon Boyd will both miss the match through suspension, with former Cowboy Zac Santo getting an opportunity at fullback and Country Origin rep Paul Vaughan coming into the front row.

Supercoach Studs - Joseph Leilua (68) is the form centre of the competition and is a must for the run home. Josh Papalii (88) backed up his fantastic Origin performance with another big performance 2 days later against the Eagles. It's no coincidence that Josh Hodgson (68) has found form in the Raiders last 3 wins.

Supercoach Duds - Jarrod Croker (38) has a huge breakeven this week, however despite the potential drop in price he is a hold with the Raiders finding form. 


1. James Tedesco 2. David Nofoaluma 3. Tim Simona 4. Kevin Naiqama 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Luke Brooks 8. Aaron Woods 15. Dene Halatau 14. Sauaso Sue 11. Josh Aloiai 12. Chris Lawrence 13. Elijah Taylor
Interchange: 10. Ava Seumanufagai 9. Robbie Farah 16. Tim Grant 17. Kyle Lovett

In - Robbie Farah, Tim Grant

Out - JJ Felise

Analysis - The Tigers roller coaster continues, after they fell to the Roosters in atrocious conditions at Allianz Stadium. Despite media speculation that NSW hooker Robbie Farah may not be selected by coach Jason Taylor, a season ending injury to Matt Ballin has put rest to that theory and he has been named to start in the #9, with Elijah Taylor moving back to lock.   

Supercoach Studs - James Tedesco (81) picked up where he left off with a strong performance. His enormous breakeven saw him drop $15k, he will be a must in Round 16 as the Tigers have the bye next week…just hope he doesn't go too massive this week.

Supercoach Duds - Elijah Taylor (48) moved to hooker, which had an effect on his score, he returns to lock this week, provided there are no late changes. Josh Addo-Carr (30) didn't score a try but has a few more price rises. Josh Aloiai (21) can be downgraded to Tevita Pangai Jr this week. 

1. Cody Walker 2. Alex Johnston 3. Kirisome Auva'a 5. Dane Nielsen 19. Aaron Gray 6. Greg Inglis 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Thomas Burgess 9. Cameron McInnes 17. David Tyrrell 11. Paul Carter 4. Bryson Goodwin 13. Sam Burgess
Interchange: 12. Kyle Turner 15. Jason Clark 16. Siosifa Talakai 10. Nathan Brown

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - South Sydney have made no changes to the side that went down in Golden Point against the Gold Coast on Sunday night in Perth. The Rabbitohs return to ANZ Stadium as the away team against the Tigers and will be very keen to get their season back on track.   

Supercoach Studs - Sam Burgess (105) has been back to his damaging best since returning from injury and is a solid captain choice this week. Cody Walker (100) has been a revelation at fullback and is set for a potential $30k rise with another strong performance this week. Bryson Goodwin (67) is in career best form and has a 3 round average of over 80pts.

Supercoach Duds - Alex Johnston (40) looks set to continue on the wing due to the emergence of Cody Walker at fullback. 

1. Dane Gagai 2. Cory Denniss 3. Sione Mata'utia 18. Brendan Elliott 5. Jake Mamo 6. Jack Cogger 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. Sam Mataora 14. Tyler Randell 15. Korbin Sims 16. Jacob Saifiti 21. Mitchell Barnett 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 9. Danny Levi 10. Daniel Saifiti 12. Pauli Pauli 17. Mickey Paea

In - Jacob Saifiti, Korbin Sims

Out - Nil

Analysis - Newcastle return to Hunter Stadium to host the Warriors after they were flogged by the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville on Saturday night. The Knights welcome back Korbin Sims and Jacob Saifiti to the bench but coach Brown has stuck solid with last week's team.  

Supercoach Studs - Pauli Pauli (46) again played 80mins racking up some serious dollars for owners in the process. Nathan Ross (53) has been outstanding since switching from wing to centre but is in doubt with a calf injury.

Supercoach Duds - Cory Denniss (25) has been a slow burner but should still make some coin this weekend with a low breakeven. 

1. Tuimoala Lolohea 2. David Fusitua 3. Blake Ayshford 4. Solomone Kata 5. Manu Vatuvei 6. Thomas Leuluai 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Issac Luke 16. Albert Vete 11. Bodene Thompson 12. Ryan Hoffman 13. Simon Mannering
Interchange: 14. Nathaniel Roache 15. Sam Lisone 10. Ben Matulino 17. Charlie Gubb

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Warriors have named an unchanged line up after they blitzed the Broncos on Saturday in what was without a doubt their best performance of 2016. The Warriors now travel to Newcastle where they don't have a strong record against the Knights in a game they are expected to win. Are they rocks or diamonds? If Shaun Johnson and Tuimoala Lolohea play as good as they did last week they could rack up a cricket score, however so far in 2016 the Warriors travel like warm milk.  

Supercoach Studs - As the Warriors play Round 15, Shaun Johnson (118) is a must have this week and as mentioned could go large against the worst defensive side in the competition.  Bodene Thompson (64) has been ultra- consistent this year and is a quality addition to the backrow. Although Simon Mannering (64) has had an injury interrupted start to the season and hasn't been playing the full 80 minutes recently, he is very cheap this week some $60k cheaper than Thompson. Tuimoala Lolohea (99) looms as a serious point of difference if the Warriors are primed to go on their annual representative round run of wins.  

Supercoach Duds - Ben Matulino (50) hasn't quite got enough big scores to be rushed into your squad, with Thompson and Mannering ahead in the pecking order. 

1. Michael Gordon 2. Semi Radradra 3. Michael Jennings 4. Clinton Gutherson 5. Bevan French 6. Ken Edwards 7. Corey Norman 8. Daniel Alvaro 9. Isaac De Gois 10. Danny Wicks 11. Manu Ma'u 12. Beau Scott 13. Tepai Moeroa
Interchange: 14. Kaysa Pritchard 15. Peni Terepo 16. David Gower 17. Rory O'Brien

In - Michael Jennings, Rory O'Brien

Out - Kieran Foran, Brad Takairangi

Analysis - Parramatta come back from the bye missing two key omissions, with star halfback Kieran Foran who may miss the season along with centre Brad Takairangi who misses this game through injury. Michael Jennings returns from Origin duty in a boost to the backline, with Kenny Edwards switching to five-eighth, while former Dragon Rory O'Brien comes onto the bench.  

Supercoach Studs - Semi Radradra (84) proved to be an excellent captain choice in Round 12 against the Knights and is looking in ominous form in the try scoring department. Manu M'au (73) looks to be a safe option over the bye period and will be valuable in Round 15. Bevan French (39) was sensational on debut and looks to have nailed down a wing spot for now. He plays his third game in Round 15.

Supercoach Duds - Brad Takairangi (69) despite his recent good form looks set for a few weeks on the sideline which means bye coverage could be out the window.

1. William Zillman 2. Anthony Don 3. Josh Hoffman 18. Konrad Hurrell 5. Nene Macdonald 6. Tyrone Roberts 7. Ashley Taylor 8. Luke Douglas 9. Nathan Friend 10. Ryan James 11. Zeb Taia 12. Chris McQueen 13. Greg Bird
Interchange: 14. Nathan Peats 15. Leivaha Pulu 16. Agnatius Paasi 17. Eddy Pettybourne

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Titans are unchanged following their outstanding Golden Point win over the Rabbitohs, where rookie half Ashley Taylor booted the winning field goal in front of a great crowd in Perth on Sunday evening. The Titans have been the surprise packets of the season, and will be full of confidence as they travel down to Parramatta Stadium in order to make it 5 wins in a row.

Supercoach Studs - Ryan James (157) has been outstanding for the Ttians and scored 2 tries in their win over Souths. He is a superb buy for those that can afford him as the Titans are playing next week. Ash Taylor (54) and Nathan Peats (66) are holds this week and next week.  

Supercoach Duds - Nathan Davis (33) has been named but speculation is rife that blockbusting Warriors recruit Konrad Hurrell (DNP) will be handed his Titans debut this weekend.

1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Mitchell Aubusson 4. Dale Copley 5. Blake Ferguson 6. Ryan Matterson 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Jake Friend 14. Sam Moa 11. Sio Siua Taukeiaho 12. Aidan Guerra 13. Kane Evans
Interchange: 24. Abraham Papalii 15. Eloni Vunakece 16. Mitchell Frei 17. Connor Watson

In - Mitchell Frei

Out - Isaac Liu

Analysis - The Roosters host Melbourne on the back of a solid victory over the Tigers in the wet on Sunday afternoon. Isaac Liu is injured and is replaced by Kane Evans at lock, with Mitchell Frei coming onto the bench. Fullback Latrell Mitchell has been named but is in doubt with an ankle injury.  

Supercoach Studs - Jake Friend (84) was back to his best with 2 try assists, in a man of the match performance. Ryan Matterson (59) made a very tidy $30k for owners which included a try assist. Jackson Hastings (54) returned to the starting line up in a very timely boost for those that held.  Sio Taukeiaho (54) was outstanding with the boot and while his score wasn't outrageous, he will now see plenty of game time due to Boyd Cordner being ruled out for a month through injury. The Roosters cover the killer bye rounds in Round 15 and 18 so don't trade.

Supercoach Duds - Latrell Mitchell (36) looks to be a popular sell this week due to his injury cloud but surely only for those who have solid numbers for Round 15.

1. Cameron Munster 2. Suliasi Vunivalu 3. Cheyse Blair 4. Ryan Morgan 5. Marika Koroibete 12. Tohu Harris 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Cameron Smith 10. Jordan McLean 11. Kevin Proctor 14. Kenneath Bromwich 13. Dale Finucane
Interchange: 14. Christian Welch 15. Tim Glasby 16. Felise Kaufusi 17. Nelson Asofa-Solomona

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - Melbourne are unchanged following their strong win over the Panthers on Saturday night. The Storm are really building nicely having not dropped a match since Round 6. The Storm are looking to make it a slice of seven on their visit to Sydney on Saturday night.

Supercoach Studs - Jesse Bromwich (80), Tohu Harris (64) and Cameron Munster (49) are all must haves this week. Cameron Smith (55) is a certain hold over Origin and is far and away the best #9 available in 2016.

Supercoach Duds - Suliasi Vunivalu (14) came back to earth against the Panthers but can be held for those struggling for numbers in Round 15, as he still has a low breakeven.

1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Tom Trbojevic 4. Brayden Wiliame 5. Matthew Wright 6. Dylan Walker 7. Apisai Koroisau 8. Darcy Lussick 9. Matt Parcell 10. Nate Myles 11. Lewis Brown 12. Jamie Buhrer 13. Jake Trbojevic
Interchange: 14. Blake Leary 15. Josh Starling 16. Addin Fonua-blake 17. Siosaia Vave

In - Jorge Taufua, Addin Fonua-Blake, Blake Leary

Out - Daly Cherry-Evans, Jamie Lyon, Brenton Lawrence

Analysis - Manly are in all sorts after losing key players Daly Cherry-Evans, Jamie Lyon and Brenton Lawrence following last week's brutal loss against the Raiders. In some good news, Jorge Taufua returns to the wing, while Dylan Walker and Apisau Koroisau form a new halves combination for the Eagles. With Steve Matai still out injured, Tom Trbojevic gets a start in the centres.  

Supercoach Studs - Owners of Matt Parcell (80) have received a timely boost with injuries meaning he is likely to continue playing 80 mins. Jake Trbojevic (102) is a machine and with the Eagles available in Round 15, he is a great buy.

Supercoach Duds - Brenton Lawrence (12) Jamie Lyon (19) and Daly Cherry-Evans (46) are all busted and are must sells.

1. Matt Moylan 2. Josh Mansour 3. Waqa Blake 4. Tyrone Peachey 5. Dallin Watene Zelezniak 6. Bryce Cartwright 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Leilani Latu 9. Peter Wallace 10. Regan Campbell-Gillard 11. Isaah Yeo 12. Trent Merrin 13. Suaia Matagi
Interchange: 14. Sitaleki Akauola 15. Jeremy Latimore 16. Chris Grevsmuhl 17. Moses Leota

In - Moses Leota, Sitaleki Akauola

Out - Jamie Soward, Sam McKendry

Analysis - Penrith have made some huge changes following their loss to the Storm with Jamie Soward being dropped. Rookie half Nathan Cleary has retained his spot in the run on side. Bryce Cartwright shifts to five-eighth and Suaia Matagi will start in the back row. Sam McKendry's suspension means Leilani Latu will also start at prop. Moses Leota and Sitaleki Akauola have been included on the bench.     

Supercoach Studs - Josh Mansour (69) bounced back to form with a try and 15 hit ups, he will play Origin. Bryce Cartwright (69) moves to five-eighth which may take away from base stats but may also increase attacking stats. Trent Merrin (76) is a must from Round 16.

Supercoach Duds - Tyrone Peachey (35) had a reasonably quiet game at centre but plays well in any position as we have seen in recent weeks.

1. Jason Nightingale 2. Kalifa Faifai Loa 3. Euan Aitken 4. Timoteo Lafai 5. Kurt Mann 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Benji Marshall 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Russell Packer 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Joel Thompson 13. Michael Cooper
Interchange: 21. Jack de Belin 15. Will Matthews 16. Siliva Havili 17. Jake Marketo

In - Siliva Havili

Out - Josh McCrone

Analysis - The Dragons host their bitter rivals the Bulldogs after having the week off last round. Only the one change from their last start win over the Cowboys, with Siliva Havili replacing Josh McCrone on the bench.

Supercoach Studs - Euan Aitken (75) has been one of the best buys over the representative rounds, producing keepers like scores and is due for another rise this week. Mike Cooper (60) has been the main beneficiary of Jack De Belin's injury.  

Supercoach Duds - Will Matthews (44) has been solid and won't lose money however he hasn't yet proved to be a major cash cow that owners had hoped prior to Round 12.

1. William Hopoate 2. Curtis Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Kerrod Holland 5. Sam Perrett 6. Josh Reynolds 7. Moses Mbye 8. Aiden Tolman 9. Michael Lichaa 10. James Graham 11. Josh Jackson 12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 13. David Klemmer
Interchange: 22. Tony Williams 15. Sam Kasiano 16. Tim Browne 17. Craig Garvey

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - Canterbury are unchanged following Monday nights heartbreaking loss to the Sharks, where a James Maloney sideline conversion from the sideline resulted in their first back to back loss of the season. The Bulldogs will be desperate to get their season back on track on Monday and won't lack motivation against traditional rivals the Dragons.

Supercoach Studs -James Graham (78) has been enormous for the Bulldogs win or lose and is a keeper. Josh Reynolds (66) has been in strong form following his NSW omission and along with Moses Mbye (48) was the match winner in this corresponding fixture in 2015.

Supercoach Duds - Kerrod Holland (46) has been a sensational cash cow, but with Canterbury having the bye and Brett Morris close to a return he can be moved on this week or next.

1. Ben Barba 14. Ricky Leutele 3. Jack Bird 4. Gerard Beale 5. Valentine Holmes 6. James Maloney 7. Chad Townsend 8. Andrew Fifita 9. Michael Ennis 10. Matt Prior 11. Luke Lewis 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen
Interchange: 10. Sam Tagataese 15. Chris Heighington 16. Jayson Bukuya 17. Joseph Paulo

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Sharks are unchanged after making in 9 wins in a row after their gutsy win over the Bulldogs on Monday night. The Sharks now sit in the third line of betting to take out this year's competition and will be looking to rocket into favoritism with a win over last year's premiers the Cowboys in what is the match of the round.    

Supercoach Studs - Ben Barba (77) is finally back to being a keeper for the first time in years. Andrew Fifita (74), Paul Gallen (59) and Jack Bird (79) will all be trade targets from Round 16 with only Origin III to go.  

Supercoach Duds - James Maloney (25) was kept in check by the Bulldogs defence despite kicking the winning goal from the sideline.

1. Lachlan Coote 2. Kyle Feldt 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

In - Michael Morgan

Out - Ray Thompson

Analysis - The Cowboys again cruised to victory over the Knights and will be sure to get a very tough workout against the premiership heavyweights in the Sharks at Shark Park on Monday night. QLD utility Michael Morgan returns after suffering a concussion in State of Origin, replacing Ray Thompson at five-eighth.

Supercoach Studs - Kyle Feldt (88) bounced back from his QLD Origin omission with a strong performance. Gavin Cooper (71) and Jason Taumalolo (59) have been good pick ups over the bye period.

Supercoach Duds - Jonathan Thurston (43) will likely drop below $400k next week and is a must post Origin.
