Teamlist Tuesday Analysis - 2016 NRL Round 15

Sam Bourke returns for another week of ins and outs along with all the key supercoach studs and duds for each of the eight sides in NRL's fifteenth round.


1. Alex Johnston 2. Dane Nielsen 3. Kirisome Auva'a 4. Siosifa Talakai 5. Aaron Gray 6. Cody Walker 7. Luke Keary 8. Thomas Burgess 9. Cameron McInnes 10. David Tyrrell 18. John Sutton 12. Kyle Turner 13. Sam Burgess
Interchange: 14. Damien Cook 15. Jason Clark 11. Paul Carter 17. Nathan Brown

In - Luke Keary, Damien Cook, Jack Gosiewski

Out - Greg Inglis, Adam Reynolds, Bryson Goodwin

Analysis - South Sydney lose Origin stars in Greg Inglis and Adam Reynolds, as well as Bryson Goodwin to injury, as they look to bounce back from their disappointing loss to the Tigers last Friday night. Luke Keary and Cody Walker re-unite in the halves for their clash against the Eels, with Alex Johnston moving back to fullback. Aaron Gray moves to the wing, with rookie Siosifa Talakai moving from the forwards to centre. Damien Cook returns to provide some spark from the bench.   

Supercoach Studs - Cody Walker (91) has been a revelation in the #1 jumper and his move to five-eighth is not necessarily a negative for owners given his strong early season form in the #6. Alex Johnson (91) scored 2 tries and moves from the wing to fullback this weekend.

Supercoach Duds - Sam Burgess (20) left the field after 20 minutes with a suspected fractured collarbone, he has been cleared of any serious injury and is expected to play. He is a good VC option considering the lack of numbers from most sides this weekend.  Bryson Goodwin (14) looks set for a spell on the sideline after being in career best form.

1. Michael Gordon 2. Semi Radradra 3. Clinton Gutherson 4. Vai Toutai 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 - Vai Toutai

Out - Michael Jennings

Analysis - Parramatta were excellent against the Titans in humid conditions in Darwin on Saturday night, and will be looking to keep the good form going against the Rabbitohs. The Eels lose NSW centre Michael Jennings, which sees Vai Toutai come in as his replacement.

Supercoach Studs - Michael Gordon (90) rewarded owners who kept the faith with his best performance of the season. Corey Norman (78) and Semi Radradra (62) are great loophole options this weekend if you fancy the Eels chances in this match.  Manu M'au (62) provides rock solid bye coverage and is the standout in the Eels pack. Bevan French (33) is the best cheapie this week, however lacks base stats as he isn't the type of blockbusting winger that goes looking for the ball and will rely on tries to get his price up. 

Supercoach Duds - Michael Jennings (27) was keeping himself fresh for Origin, which is fair enough as NSW will need plenty of points up at Suncorp Stadium in Game II.  

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: 14. Jack de Belin 15. Will Matthews 16. Siliva Havili 18. Jake Marketo

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Dragons have made no changes to the side that were beaten by the Bulldogs, but may lose Tyson Frizell should Wade Graham be suspended for Origin. The Dragons managed to stay with Canterbury early on in the match but were simply bulldozed in the second half. They now have a great opportunity for a gift 2 points, facing competition heavyweights Melbourne without their Origin stars. 

Supercoach Studs -Tyson Frizell (81) was simply outstanding in a losing side but may be rushed into Origin as mentioned.  Kurt Mann (70) scored 2 tries on the wing and holds his spot this week. 

Supercoach Duds - Euan Aitken (43) has been a tremendous bye and is a certain hold for this week. Jack De Belin (48) returned from injury via the bench and therefore will likely see a bigger involvement this week. Expect him to start despite being named on the bench again this week. 

17. Young Tonumaipea 2. Suliasi Vunivalu 3. Cheyse Blair 4. Ryan Morgan 5. Marika Koroibete 6. Tohu Harris 21. Brodie Croft 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Kenneath Bromwich 10. Jordan McLean 11. Kevin Proctor 22. Slade Griffin 13. Dale Finucane
Interchange: 12. Felise Kaufusi 14. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 16. Christian Welch 20. Ben Hampton

In - Blake Green, Young Tonumaipea

Out - Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk

Analysis - Melbourne were electric against the Roosters, thrashing them 46-0. Cameron Munster was unstoppable for the Storm and a lot of their attack will rest on his shoulders with the losses of lynch pins Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith. Blake Green returns to halfback in a big boost after missing last week's thrashing and Tohu Harris will again be forced to move into the halves.

Supercoach Studs - Cameron Munster (183) scored the highest Supercoach points of all time in a sublime performance. He is simply a must this week before his price skyrockets out of reach. Suliasi Vunivalu (91) scored a hat trick and is now worth close to $300k, he is a hold this week and can be cashed in for Round 16. Cameron Smith (88) is a must post Origin and a hold pre Origin.

Supercoach Duds - Jesse Bromwich (42) didn't need to do too much in a 46-0 thrashing and is a great buy this week. Tohu Harris (43) has again been named in the halves but will eventually return to the second row.  

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

In - Ken Maumalo, Toafofoa Sipley

Out - Jacob Lilyman, Manu Vatuvei

Analysis - The Warriors are looking to make it 3 wins on the trot for the first time in 2016, as they host the Roosters at Mt Smart Stadium. Star halfback Shaun Johnson has been declared fit after leaving the field with 15 minutes remaining against the Knights with a corked thigh. Manu Vatuvei is out with a hamstring tear and has been replaced by Ken Maumalo. Jacob Lilyman comes into the Queensland squad to replace Nate Myles, which sees Ben Matulino starts at prop and youngster Toafofoa Sipley come onto the bench.

Supercoach Studs - The Warriors were a Supercoach gold mine last start, as expected with Shaun Johnson (69) and Tuimoala Lolohea (78) causing the Knights plenty of issues. David Fusitua (140) was the star however, bagging 4 tries and looms as a cash cow this week.  Issac Luke (104) looks to be getting back to his best and even kicked a few goals to push him over the century mark. Bodene Thompson (83) will get the job done and gets the odd try, while Simon Mannering (66) is still a bargain buy this week and produced another solid score since returning to lock since and is again playing consistent minutes.

Supercoach Duds - Ben Matulino (29) is clearly on the outer at this stage, starting from the bench despite being named to start. He is leaking cash but can be held for numbers this week, but looms as a definite sell next week.

1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 4. Dale Copley 5. Joseph Manu 6. Ryan Matterson 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Jake Friend 10. Sam Moa 11. Sio Siua Taukeiaho 12. Mitchell Aubusson 13. Dylan Napa
Interchange: 14. Isaac Liu 15. Kane Evans 16. Connor Watson 17. Chris Smith

In - Dylan Napa, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Chris Smith, Joseph Manu, Isaac Liu

Out - Blake Ferguson, Aidan Guerra, Abraham Papalii, Eloni Vunakece

Analysis - The Roosters have rung in the changes following their thrashing from the Storm. Things don't get any easier for the Tricolours who now travel to Auckland to face an inform Warriors. Dylan Napa and Shaun Kenny-Dowall return to replace Origin players Aidan Guerra and Blake Ferguson. Half Mitchell Pearce hasn't been named but is close to a return.  

Supercoach Studs - Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (58) was strong in a losing side and will be out for a big one in New Zealand. Ryan Matterson (44) has been a superb buy, with solid base stats win or lose. Sio Taukeiaho (53) hasn't really lived up to the hype since moving into the starting side and didn't get any kicks at goal.

Supercoach Duds - The Latrell Mitchell (17) roller coaster continues but he is a certain hold for this week at least. Jake Friend (45) will do the job this weekend as cover for Cameron Smith.  

1. William Zillman 2. Anthony Don 3. Josh Hoffman 4. Nathan Davis 5. Nene Macdonald 6. Tyrone Roberts 7. Ashley Taylor 8. Luke Douglas 17. Nathan Peats 10. Ryan James 11. Zeb Taia 12. Chris McQueen 13. Agnatius Paasi
Interchange: 14. Eddy Pettybourne 15. Leivaha Pulu 16. Ryan Simpkins 9. Nathan Friend

In - Nathan Davis, Ryan Simpkins

Out - Greg Bird

Analysis - The Titans couldn't match it with the Eels in the hot conditions in Darwin and return home to CBUS Stadium where the host the Sea Eagles in Monday Night Football. The Titans lose Greg Bird to Origin, which sees Agnatius Paasi move to lock, with Ryan Simpkins returning to the 17 on the bench. New recruit Konrad Hurrell is in doubt with a calf injury, which sees Nathan Davis return to centre.

Supercoach Studs - Ryan James (61) has skyrocketed out of contention and proved to be a good pick up last week. Ash Taylor (58) is a certain hold, with a sell looming. 

Supercoach Duds - Nathan Peats (35) remains on the bench but may bob up at lock, so check late teams. Konrad Hurrell (21) as mentioned suffered an injury and is a no go at this stage. 

1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Tom Trbojevic 11. Lewis Brown 4. Brayden Wiliame 19. Pita Godinet 7. Apisai Koroisau 8. Darcy Lussick 9. Matt Parcell 10. Martin Taupau 15. Josh Starling 12. Jamie Buhrer 13. Jake Trbojevic
Interchange: 14. Blake Leary 5. Matthew Wright 18. Liam Knight 17. Siosaia Vave

In - Jamie Lyon, Martin Taupau

Out - Dylan Walker, Nate Myles

Analysis - Manly looked all set to be storming to victory after racing out to a big lead against the Panthers before being run down in the biggest comeback this season. Manly lose Dylan Walker to NSW duty and Nate Myles who looks set to spend a few weeks on the sideline through injury. Jamie Lyon returns to replace Walker at five-eighth, with enforcer Martin Taupau returning from suspension in the front row to replace Myles.

Supercoach Studs - Dylan Walker (101) was sensational and justified his Origin selection, he will also make some serious coin for those that jumped on in the last 2 weeks.  Tom Trbojevic (71) and Jake Trbojevic (63) are legitimate buys for the run home this weekend. 

Supercoach Duds - Apisau Koroisau (29) was solid at halfback and should be better for the run.  Jamie Buhrer (43) hasn't lived up to the hype that he may return to his past keeper like scores.
