Teamlist Tuesday Analysis - 2016 NRL Round 16

Sam's back for a look at all the ins and outs, and supercoach studs and duds, ahead of NRL Round 16.

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 20. James Fisher-Harris 18. James Fisher-Harris

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - Penrith have made no changes to the side that completed the biggest comeback of the season, coming back from 24-4 down at halftime to defeat Manly in Round 14. NSW representatives Matt Moylan and Josh Mansour have been named to back up 48 hours after State of Origin.    

Supercoach Studs - Nathan Cleary (105) is the best cheapie by far this week after going huge against the Sea Eagles, he is projected to go up a whopping $77k this week.  The Panthers have no byes left, therefore Tyrone Peachey (95), Trent Merrin (69) and Bryce Cartwright (74) should be top of the shopping list from this week.  

Supercoach Duds - Chris Grevsmuhl (22) is not getting the minutes he was getting at Souths with the Panthers starting pack proving tough to crack.  

1. Cody Walker 2. Alex Johnston 3. Greg Inglis 4. Aaron Gray 20. Joe Burgess 6. Luke Keary 19. Ed Murphy 8. Thomas Burgess 9. Cameron McInnes 10. Nathan Brown 11. John Sutton 12. Kyle Turner 13. Sam Burgess
Interchange: 5. Tautalatasi Tasi 14. Jason Clark 15. Patrice Siolo 17. David Tyrrell 18. David Tyrrell 21. Ed Murphy

In - Greg Inglis, Adam Reynolds, Jack Gosiewski, Patrice Siolo, Tautalatasi Tasi

Out - Dane Nielsen, Paul Carter, Siosifa Talakai

Analysis - South Sydney have mass changes with an almost new look backline following their loss against the Eels. Origin stars Greg Inglis and Adam Reynolds return to the side provided they get through Wednesday night's match. Luke Keary will re-connect with Adam Reynolds in the halves, while Cody Walker will switch back to fullback and Alex Johnston moves back to the wing. Greg Inglis comes into the centres for Kirisome Auva'a, with former Bulldogs player Tasi Tasi to make his NRL debut on the other wing. Paul Carter has been suspended, which sees Patrice Siolo come onto the bench with Jack Gosiewski also earning a recall.    

Supercoach Studs - Cody Walker (74) has been outstanding and is a hold until further notice, he could be a keeper at this rate.  Alex Johnson (88) has scored 3 tries in 2 matches and moves back to the wing this week.  

Supercoach Duds - Sam Burgess (53) was doubtful with a shoulder injury and it looked to hamper him.  Siosifa Talakai (33) was a diabolical trade last week for those that took the plunge and has been ruled out with an ankle injury. 

1. Dane Gagai 2. Nathan Ross 3. Sione Mata'utia 4. Peter Mata'utia 5. Brendan Elliott 6. Jack Cogger 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. Sam Mataora 9. Danny Levi 10. Korbin Sims 11. Jacob Saifiti 12. Mitchell Barnett 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 14. Tyler Randell 15. Robbie Rochow 16. Daniel Saifiti 17. Mickey Paea

In - Peter Mata'utia, Nathan Ross, Robbie Rochow

Out - Jake Mamo

Analysis - Newcastle host the Dragons at Hunter Stadium in back to back home games after they were thrashed by the visiting Warriors last start. Jake Mamo is out with an ankle injury which sees former Rooster Brendan Elliott switch to the flank and Peter Mata'utia come in at centre. Second rower Robbie Rochow returns to the side after missing 2 months with a fractured arm.

Supercoach Studs - Sione Mata'utia (65) played his best game of the season against the Warriors, however with the Knights battling to score points each week, there are really no rock solid buys at all.

Supercoach Duds - Pauli Pauli (34) was a quick smash and grab job a few weeks back and should have been moved on during last week's bye.   

19. Josh Dugan 2. Kalifa Faifai Loa 3. Euan Aitken 4. Timoteo Lafai 1. Jason Nightingale 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Benji Marshall 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Russell Packer 11. Jacob Host 12. Joel Thompson 13. Tyson Frizell
Interchange: 14. Jack de Belin 15. Will Matthews 16. Dunamis Lui 17. Jake Marketo

In - Dunamis Lui

Out - Tariq Sims

Analysis - The Dragons have been gifted with 4 competition points over the bye period facing a Origin depleted Cowboys in Round 12 and bare bones Melbourne Storm outfit last week. The Dragons lose new recruit Tariq Sims due to his contract not allowing him to play his former club in 2016 and he is replaced by Dunamis Lui on the bench. A win against the last placed Knights could see the Dragons leap into the Top 8 this weekend.

Supercoach Studs - Tim Lafai (77) finally fired for the Dragons but you would certainly want to see a lot more from him to be a consideration. Gareth Widdop (69) has been reasonable for owners who invested over the byes and is a wise downgrade to Nathan Cleary this week.

Supercoach Duds - The Dragons do not cover Round 18 and therefore Euan Aitken (45) can be moved on from this week. Jack De Belin (49) is not a keeper for 2016, with the acquisition of Tariq Sims likely to bite into his minutes. 

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 16. Matt Prior 11. Luke Lewis 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen
Interchange: 15. Chris Heighington 17. Sam Tagataese 18. Jayson Bukuya 19. Joseph Paulo

In - Sosaia Feki

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Sharks are unchanged as they look to make it 11 wins in a row against the Warriors. Cronulla have now firmed in the betting to be equal favourites to win their inaugural premiership. Sosaia Feki returns to the wing after picking up an injury against the Bulldogs in Round 13. 

Supercoach Studs - Andrew Fifita (79) and Paul Gallen (83) will be must haves post Origin III from Round 18.

Supercoach Duds - The time has come to decide whether Ben Barba (28) is a keeper, as his breakeven is 113pts this weekend. The Sharks look pretty good things at the moment.   

2. David Fusitua 21. Jonathan Wright 3. Blake Ayshford 4. Solomone Kata 5. Ken Maumalo 6. Thomas Leuluai 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Issac Luke 10. Albert Vete 11. Bodene Thompson 12. Ryan Hoffman 13. Simon Mannering
Interchange: 1. Tuimoala Lolohea 15. Sam Lisone 16. Ben Matulino 17. Charlie Gubb

In - Jacob Lilyman

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Warriors have now won 3 straight and this week's match up promises to be the acid test as to whether they are in fact finals contenders for 2016. Queensland prop Jacob Lilyman returns to the starting side, with Ben Matulino moving back to the bench, where he started last week. Thomas Leuluai left the field early against the Roosters but has been named at five-eighth.  

Supercoach Studs - Issac Luke (81) looks to be back to his best and it is no coincidence the Warriors are winning matches. Shaun Johnson (71), Bodene Thompson (80) and Simon Mannering (72) are all keepers but beware the Warriors offer no coverage for the last of the killer byes in Round 18.

Supercoach Duds - Ben Matulino (56) was strong off the bench but can be upgraded to a keeper this week. Tuimoala Lolohea (49) was moved to five-eighth early in the match but returns to fullback this week, where he generally scores better. The re-shuffle also affected David Fusitua (27) who couldn't find the tryline against the Roosters but made over $20k, owners will be praying for a try this week. 

1. William Hopoate 2. Curtis Rona 23. Brett 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 20. Asipeli Fine 13. David Klemmer
Interchange: 14. Sam Kasiano 15. Tony Williams 16. Danny Fualalo 17. Craig Garvey

In - Danny Fualalo

Out - Tim Browne

Analysis - Canterbury host the Broncos at ANZ Stadium in what promises to be a crucial game for their momentum in the back half of the 2016 season. The Bulldogs finally put a side away in the Dragons in Round 14 and will be looking to back that up with another strong display. NSW centre Josh Morris has been named despite being ruled out of Origin with a groin strain, while brother, Brett has not been named despite being due back from a long injury lay off. Check for late mail in this one.

Supercoach Studs - Josh Reynolds (66) has been in great form of late and has been a strong point of difference in the last 5 weeks averaging over 73pts per game. David Klemmer (68) has been averaging over 65pts since moving to lock. Will Hopoate (112) has been enormous for Canterbury but will likely move to centre to accommodate the return of Brett Morris, who has not been named.

Supercoach Duds - Kerrod Holland (72) has been a superb buy this year and despite his strong base stats Holland has done his job and can be upgraded to a keeper if you haven't already done so. 

1. Darius Boyd 2. Corey Oates 3. Tom Opacic 4. James Roberts 5. Greg Eden 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Josh McGuire 9. Travis Waddell 10. Jarrod Wallace 11. Jaydn Sua 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Herman Essese 15. Tevita Pangai Junior 16. Adam Blair 17. Kodi Nikorima

In - Tom Opacic, Jaydn S'ua

Out - Jordan Kahu, Alex Glenn

Analysis - Coach Wayne Bennett has named all 6 Origin stars to play against the Bulldogs but expect some late changes to the 18 man squad named.  Tom Opacic will make his NRL debut in the centres, replacing Jordan Kahu. Sam Thaiday moves into the second row for Alex Glenn, with rookie Jaydn S'ua coming onto the bench.

Supercoach Studs -Darius Boyd (119) was outstanding against the Raiders and is clearly in career best form. Corey Parker (114) announced his retirement during the week, the messiah of Supercoach could rise once again and might be a target for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Tevita Pangai Jr (19) didn't get big minutes but what an impact he made. Owners will hope he gets a bit more game time with a few tired bodies from Origin II against a physical Bulldogs pack. Ben Hunt (33) registered his lowest score of the season against the Raiders but has still averaged over 63pts this season.  

3. Josh Hoffman 2. Anthony Don 12. Chris McQueen 4. Nathan Davis 5. Nene Macdonald 6. Tyrone Roberts 7. Ashley Taylor 8. Luke Douglas 9. Nathan Peats 10. Ryan James 11. Zeb Taia 15. Leivaha Pulu 13. Greg Bird
Interchange: 14. Eddy Pettybourne 18. Ryan Simpkins 16. Agnatius Paasi 17. Nathan Friend

In - Greg Bird

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Titans host the Raiders after they bounced back with a bang, totally outclassing the Sea Eagles on Monday night 30-10. NSW backrower Greg Bird returns to lock which sees Agnatius Paasi move back to the bench. The Titans now sit in 8###sup

Supercoach Studs - Ryan James (118) is a sensation, however his price has skyrocketed past the $500k mark with a 3 round average of over 112pts. Nathan Peats (56) started at hooker last week and has been officially named in the #9 for the first time in Titans colours this week.

Supercoach Duds - Ash Taylor (24) was taken from the field with the game in the bag with a slight groin strain and is a great option to downgrade to rookie Nathan Cleary this week. 

1. Jack Wighton 2. Brenko Lee 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Blake Austin 7. Aidan Sezer 16. Paul Vaughan 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Shannon Boyd 11. Josh Papalii 12. Elliot Whitehead 15. Iosia Soliola
Interchange: 14. Kurt Baptiste 8. Junior Paulo 13. Luke Bateman 17. Joseph Tapine

In - Jack Wighton, Shannon Boyd

Out - Zac Santo, Clay Priest

Analysis - Canberra were given a huge wake up call last start against the competition heavyweights the Broncos, where they were flogged despite being touted as Top 4 contenders pre-match. They will be looking for a strong response as they again travel to South East Queensland to face the Titans. Jack Wighton and Shannon Boyd return from suspension, replacing Zac Santo and Clay Priest respectively.  

Supercoach Studs - Joseph Leilua (53) is no doubt a keeper to the end and an obvious trade target in the next few weeks, with a high breakeven this week.  

Supercoach Duds - Jarrod Croker (46) has been leaking plenty of cash in recent weeks but did climb quite quickly in the first place, worth persisting with if you have a look at the Raiders stretch of home games coming up. Josh Hodgson (39) was outshone by Kurt Baptiste (70) however has been one of the Raiders best in 2016 and should bounce back. 

22. Young Tonumaipea 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 15. Felise Kaufusi 13. Dale Finucane
Interchange: 14. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 16. Kenneath Bromwich 17. Ben Hampton 17. Christian Welch

In - Blake Green, Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Munster

Out - Brodie Croft, Slade Griffin

Analysis - Pay no attention to the Storm's loss to the Dragons, as this week they welcome back big guns in Blake Green, Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Cameron Munster who was a late withdrawal against the Dragons. The Tigers pushed the Storm to Golden Point in Round 7 and will be certain not to be taking them lightly.  

Supercoach Studs - Suliasi Vunivalu (62) has scored 12 tries in 8 games in an incredible effort from the Fijian rookie. Vunivalu is a hold moving forward and should see some more price rises in the next few weeks before being sold prior to Round 18. Jesse Bromwich (61) is a keeper to the end, get him in.

Supercoach Duds - Cameron Munster (DNP) was a nightmare withdrawal for most and cost a fair few teams in their head to heads. Tohu Harris (46) moves from five eighth to the second row and will likely be as low as $360k next week. 

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

In - Jordan Rankin

Out - Josh Addo-Carr

Analysis - The Tigers fresh off the bye head to AAMI Park in Melbourne, where they will be looking to ambush the Storm, as they did at Leichardt Oval in Round 7, where they were desperately unlucky not to get the win. Robbie Farah has been again named on the bench due to his Origin selection, with Dene Halatau to start. Jordan Rankin returns to the wing in place of Storm bound winger Josh Addo-Carr.    

Supercoach Studs - James Tedesco (71) is the buy of the week this week, with the only risk being that if NSW lose Origin then he may get a crack in Game III. Kevin Naiqama (119) was outstanding against the Bunnies and will be looking to keep the attacking flair going against a solid defensive outfit in the Storm. 

Supercoach Duds - Elijah Taylor (53) and Josh Addo-Carr (23) have done their job and can be moved on. 

1. Lachlan Coote 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Justin O'Neill 4. Kane Linnett 5. Antonio Winterstein 14. Rory Kostjasyn 7. Johnathan Thurston 8. Matthew Scott 9. Jake Granville 10. James Tamou 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Ethan Lowe 13. Jason Taumalolo
Interchange: 15. John Asiata 16. Scott Bolton 17. Ben Hannant 18. Patrick Kaufusi

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Cowboys again have named the usual 17, including their 5 Origin representatives for their Monday night clash at 1300 Smiles Stadium where the host Manly. North Queensland will be looking to bounce back after their narrow defeat to Cronulla in Round 14.

Supercoach Studs - Ethan Lowe (60) and Jason Taumalolo (67) have offered solid bye coverage and again offer cover for Round 18.

Supercoach Duds - Jonathan Thurston (31) is leaking plenty of cash, but if you wanted to sell you really needed to commit to it weeks ago. He will bounce back. 

1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Tom Trbojevic 6. Dylan Walker 4. Brayden Wiliame 20. Jamie Lyon 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Darcy Lussick 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. Martin Taupau 11. Nathan Green 12. Jamie Buhrer 13. Jake Trbojevic
Interchange: 14. Lewis Brown 15. Josh Starling 16. Addin Fonua-blake 17. Siosaia Vave

In - Daly Cherry-Evans, Dylan Walker, Addin Fonua-Blake, Nathan Green

Out - Liam Knight, Matt Parcell, Pita Godinet

Analysis - Manly welcome back star half Daly Cherry-Evans, along with NSW centre Dylan Walker in a huge boost to the struggling side who were flogged by the Titans last start. Hooker Matt Parcell has been ruled out with a hamstring injury and replaced by Api Koroisau who moves to hooker from halfback. Dylan Walker will play in the #6, with early season favourite Nathan Green returning to the side in the second row..

Supercoach Studs - Tom Trbojevic (63) and Jake Trbojevic (68) are absolutely keepers for the run home. Be aware that Tom has picked up an ankle injury which will require surgery and was quoted as ‘playing on one leg' by Trent Barrett post-match.  

Supercoach Duds - Matt Parcell (49) has been a dream buy at hooker and with his injury he can be sold this week.
