Team List Tuesday - Analysis

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v Wests Tigers
ANZ Stadium - Friday 7:45pm

1. Sam Perrett 2. Curtis Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Chase Stanley 5. Corey Thompson 6. Josh Reynolds 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. Aiden Tolman 9. Michael Lichaa 10. Tim Browne 11. Josh Jackson 12. Tony Williams 13. Greg Eastwood
Interchange: 14. Sam Kasiano 15. Lloyd Perrett 16. Frank Pritchard 17. Moses Mbye 19. Danny Fualalo 20. Antonio Kaufusi 22. Herman Essese

Changes from Last Round
In - Morris, Browne, Kasiano Out - Nil

Analysis - Three major inclusions for Canterbury with Josh Morris, Sam Kasiano and Tim Browne. The Dogs will be rapt that they picked up the 2pts against Manly considering the amount of troops missing and another win here would be a big bonus considering the players still due to come back in the coming weeks.

Supercoach Studs - Moses Mbye (70) has been outstanding and will likely see more game time somewhere in the side you would think, which may be bad news for Michael Lichaa (50) owners. Josh Reynolds' (88) recent criticism seems to have lit the fuse. Curtis Rona (81) is now a point of difference option over Origin. Lloyd Perrett (43) has a nice breakeven this week but job security may be an issue with David Klemmer to return next week, followed by James Graham the week after.

Supercoach Duds - Trent Hodkinson (18) must be under pressure from Moses Mbye and will need to improve dramatically this week if he is reclaim his NSW #7 jersey. Tony Williams (27) again went missing after halftime.


1. James Tedesco 2. Kevin Naiqama 3. Tim Simona 4. Chris Lawrence 5. Pat Richards 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Luke Brooks 8. Aaron Woods 9. Robbie Farah 10. Ava Seumanufagai 11. Curtis Sironen 12. Kyle Lovett 13. Martin Taupau
Interchange: 14. Dene Halatau 15. Matthew Lodge 16. Jack Buchanan 17. Sauaso Sue 18. Delouise Hoeter

Changes from Last Round
In - Lodge, Hoeter (extended bench) Out - Galloway

Analysis - Keith Galloway is out with a shoulder injury and is a big loss for the Tigers going into their second clash against the Dogs this season. Wests will be fired up after not only letting a 22 point lead slip against the Raiders on Sunday, but they also let the Bulldogs back into it in Round 4 with a horrible second half fade losing in Golden Point.

Supercoach Studs - Tim Simona (79) is a cracking buy this week for two reasons, he has a low breakeven of 18 and also has great bye coverage. James Tedesco (63) and Robbie Farah (70) have been very consistent over the last few weeks.

Supercoach Duds - Mitchell Moses (19) has struggled this season and may be having a case of the old second year syndrome.



Warriors v Gold Coast Titans
Mt Smart Stadium - Saturday 11:45am

1. Tuimoala Lolohea 2. Jonathan Wright 3. David Fusitua 4. Solomone Kata 5. Manu Vatuvei 6. Chad Townsend 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Thomas Leuluai 10. Ben Matulino 11. Bodene Thompson 12. Ryan Hoffman 13. Simon Mannering
Interchange: 14. Nathan Friend 15. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 16. Sam Lisone 17. Sam Rapira 18. Dominique Peyroux

Changes from Last Round
In - Fusitu'a, Faitala-Mariner, Rapira Out - Hurrell, Vete

Analysis - The Warriors have dropped Konrad Hurrell and moved David Fusitu'a into the starting side. Sam Rapira plays his first game of the season and will be hungry with the emergence of a few young guns in the forward pack. The Warriors will be expecting a big home crowd and really need to make a statement in Auckland.

Supercoach Studs - Shaun Johnson (73) has hit back to back scores and looks ominous here where he traditionally has his best games at home. Solomone Kata (84) has been one of the best rookies this year and Manu Vatuvei (74) has also hit form.

Supercoach Duds - Tui Lolohea (20) had a quiet game and is a hold this weekend..considering he made 68 the week before. Albert Vete (24) has not been included and is worth cashing in now.


1. Josh Hoffman 2. Anthony Don 3. James Roberts 4. William Zillman 5. David Mead 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. Matt White 15. Eddy Pettybourne 16. Matt Robinson 17. Kierran Moseley 18. Mark Ioane

Changes from Last Round
In - Myles, Pettybourne, Robinson Out - Paasi, Simkins, Taylor

Analysis - The Titans were impressive last week, streaking away from the Panthers 32-6 at Robina. They welcome back Nate Myles into the side and will look to catch the Warriors out.

Supercoach Studs - Kane Elgey (65) looks to have found his feet in the top grade and is due for more price rises, still no sign of Daniel Mortimer who is not named. Lachlan Burr (41) has also been solid and continues to make money.

Supercoach Duds - Ryan James (43) is done as a cash cow and is a definite sell this week. David Mead (19) caught a cold on the wing.



Newcastle Knights v North Queensland Cowboys

Hunter Stadium - Saturday 2:00pm

1. Kurt Gidley 2. James McManus 3. Dane Gagai 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Akuila Uate 6. Jarrod Mullen 7. Tyrone Roberts 8. Kade Snowden 9. Adam Clydsdale 10. Korbin Sims 11. Chris Houston 12. Tariq Sims 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 14. Tyler Randell 15. David Fa'alogo 16. Joseph Tapine 17. Jack Stockwell 18. Sione Mata'utia

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - Despite their disappointing loss to Parramatta the Knights have stuck with the same 17. After one of their best starts to the season in the club's history, Newcastle are now in a slump and come up against a red hot Cowboys side.

Supercoach Studs - Dane Gagai (87) was back to his best and if he misses Origin is a great buy. Akuila Uate (65) is in good form and is now a smokey to win back a spot on the NSW wing after Josh Mansour's injury.

Supercoach Duds - Adam Clydesdale (30) is a sell and could be upgraded to Isaac Luke or Nathan Peats this week. Kurt Gidley (30) is also a sell and could really start to leak cash soon.


1. Lachlan Coote 2. Justin O'Neill 3. Tautau Moga 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 19. Ray Thompson

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - No changes for the Cowboys as they continue their hot streak. Both these sides have been a mirror image in regards to their form this season and North Queensland will know better than anyone that Newcastle are due to hit back.

Supercoach Studs - Jake Granville (117) was enormous last week, bagging a hat trick and now has a huge breakeven. Still often shares the hooking duties with Rory Kostjasyn or Ray Thompson so minutes and security is still an issue. Lachlan Coote (96) played his best game of the season and was a great pick last week.

Supercoach Duds - Ethan Lowe (37) again had no attacking stats this week but is probably not a must sell just yet considering his early season form.



Sydney Roosters v St. George Illawarra Dragons
Allianz Stadium - Saturday 4:00pm

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Michael Jennings 4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 5. Nene Macdonald 6. James Maloney 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Dylan Napa 9. Jake Friend 10. Sam Moa 11. Boyd Cordner 12. Mitchell Aubusson 13. Siosiua Taukeiaho
Interchange: 14. Willie Manu 15. Isaac Liu 16. Kane Evans 17. Lagi Setu 19. Matt McIlwrick

Changes from Last Round
In - Moa Out - Warea-Hargraves

Analysis - The Roosters head into their traditional Anzac Day clash on the back of a 3 game losing streak, with their opponents on a 5 match winning streak. Jared Warea-Hargraves is a huge loss and will be out for 4-6 weeks.

Supercoach Studs - Sio Taukeiaho (66) was one of the buys of the round last week and has been a superb replacement for Aidan Guerra who is still a few weeks away. James Maloney (96) has been solid the last fortnight and the time is now if you have been waiting.

Supercoach Duds - Jared Warea-Hargraves (28) is a sell and will be out for at least a month with a pectoral injury.


1. Josh Dugan 2. Eto Nabuli 3. Euan Aitken 4. Dylan Farrell 5. Peter Mata'utia 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Benji Marshall 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Mike Cooper 11. Will Matthews 12. Joel Thompson 13. Trent Merrin
Interchange: 14. Ben Creagh 15. Jack de Belin 16. Jake Marketo 17. Heath L'Estrange 18. George Rose 19. Drew Hutchison 20. Yaw Kiti Glymin

Changes from Last Round
In - Rose, Hutchinson, Glymin Out - Nil

Analysis - The Dragons are top of the ladder! Who would have thought this would be possible at the start of the season where many had them tipped for the spoon. St George head into this traditional clash winning 5 straight and yet are still the underdogs.

Supercoach Studs - Mike Cooper (82) was again powerful for the Dragons and was a deserved man of the match. He is awkwardly priced but offers dual position. Gareth Widdop (71) looks to have hit some form and could be a pick up down the track with some consistent performances.

Supercoach Duds - Eto Nabuli (42) as predicted last week only needed a try and did it. He is still a borderline sell again this week, especially if you don't have the Panthers' George Jennings.


Melbourne Storm v Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles
AAMI Park - Saturday 6:00pm

1. Billy Slater 2. Mahe Fonua 3. Will Chambers 4. Kurt Mann 5. Marika Koroibete 6. Blake Green 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Cameron Smith 10. Jordan McLean 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Tohu Harris 13. Dale Finucane
Interchange: 14. Ryan Hinchcliffe 15. Tim Glasby 16. Dayne Weston 17. Felise Kaufusi 19. Kenneath Bromwich 21. Tom Learoyd-Lahrs

Changes from Last Round
In - K Bromwich, Learoyd-Lars (extended bench) Out - Nil

Analysis - Melbourne got over the line in a tight one against the Roosters and will look to keep Olympic Park a fortress in 2015. The Storm again face their fierce rivals who they lost to in Round 2 at Brookvale.

Supercoach Studs - Cameron Smith (84) is a must and has been the most reliable in recent weeks as a captain choice. Will Chambers (66) is a keeper and will need to be considered post Origin. Cameron Munster (31) has been excellent and looms as one of the only cheapies this week…however expect Billy Slater back very soon.

Supercoach Duds - Cooper Cronk (34) despite kicking the winning point, still isn't up to scratch this season at Supercoach level.


1. Peta Hiku 2. Cheyse Blair 3. Brayden Wiliame 4. Steve Matai 5. David Williams 6. Kieran Foran 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Jake Trbojevic 9. Matt Ballin 10. Willie Mason 11. Jamie Buhrer 12. Justin Horo 13. Tom Symonds
Interchange: 14. James Hasson 15. Luke Burgess 16. Dunamis Lui 17. Ligi Sao 20. Jayden Hodges

Changes from Last Round
In - Foran, Hasson Out - Lyon

Analysis - The last placed Sea Eagles see Kieran Foran return in timely fasion in a huge game for the club against the Storm. Manly are now 4 points behind the pack and will need to win one of the toughest road trips in the NRL to get their season kick started.

Supercoach Studs - Daly Cherry-Evans (71) continues to be a consistent performer and without Jamie Lyon has the goalkicking duties. Jamie Buhrer (65) saw more minutes but wait and see if this continues.

Supercoach Duds - The outside backs in Cheyse Blair (14), Brayden Williame (12) and David Williams (15) are looking ordinary stop gap solutions to an under strength backline.



Brisbane Broncos v Parramatta Eels
Suncorp Stadium - Saturday 8:00pm

1. Lachlan Maranta 2. Corey Oates 3. Jack Reed 4. Dale Copley 5. Daniel Vidot 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Josh McGuire 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Adam Blair 11. Matt Gillett 12. Sam Thaiday 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Jarrod Wallace 15. Francis Molo 16. Mitchell Dodds 17. Kodi Nikorima

Changes from Last Round
In -Wallace, Molo Out - Glenn, Garbutt, Hodges

Analysis - The Broncos were out enthused for the most part against the Dragons last week and will look to bounce back against the Eels. Justin Hodges and Alex Glenn are big losses from the starting side, however the Broncos still should have enough depth in this clash against the Eels.

Supercoach Studs - Sam Thaiday (72) has turned his season around and starts in his favoured second row position this week. Andrew McCullough (77) has a last 3 round average of 68 and a sound upgrade option at hooker.

Supercoach Duds - Ben Hunt (10) fell back to earth with a thud, proving a nightmare for those who jumped on board last week. Corey Parker (52) was un-God like but never write him off.


1. Reece Robinson 2. Bureta Faraimo 3. William Hopoate 4. Brad Takairangi 5. John Folau 6. Corey Norman 7. Chris Sandow 8. Darcy Lussick 9. Nathan Peats 10. Tim Mannah 11. Manu Ma'u 12. David Gower 13. Anthony Watmough
Interchange: 14. Isaac De Gois 15. Joseph Paulo 16. Danny Wicks 17. Peni Terepo 18. Richie Fa'aoso

Changes from Last Round
In - Lussick Out - Nil

Analysis - Reece Robinson stays at fullback with Hopoate in the Centres as per the late change last week. A vital win last week has the Eels looking to continue their good away form against the Broncos, which they have proven to be a bogey side in the past.

Supercoach Studs - Nathan Peats (105) pulled out a top shelf performance against the Knights and like McCullough and Luke not a bad upgrade option as he tends to play backrow when De Gois comes on. John Folau (82) has been a superb buy and has more rises to come.

Supercoach Duds - Reese Robinson (15) didn't score many points but was a gun at Fullback when playing their for the Raiders in the past. Not sold just yet though.



Penrith Panthers v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
Pepper Stadium - Sunday 2:00pm

1. Matt Moylan 2. George Jennings 3. Dean Whare 4. Waqa Blake 5. Dallin Watene Zelezniak 6. Apisai Koroisau 7. Isaac John 8. Sam McKendry 9. James Segeyaro 10. Jeremy Latimore 11. Sika Manu 12. Isaah Yeo 13. Nigel Plum
Interchange: 14. Tyrone Peachey 15. Sam Anderson 16. Regan Campbell-Gillard 17. Bryce Cartwright 18. Tupou Sopoaga 22. Robert Jennings

Changes from Last Round
In - G Jennings, Whare, Anderson, Sopoaga, Smith (extended bench) Out -Mansour, Kite

Analysis - The Panthers were smashed on the Gold Coast…we've all been there. Penrith lose more key players in Josh Mansour and Brent Kite but get Dean Whare back. The Panthers are desperately missing the direction provided by Jamie Soward and Peter Wallace and don't look the same side as early in the season.

Supercoach Studs - Waqa Blake (60) was an excellent buy last week and will push his way into many starting sides this week. Regan Campbell-Gillard (60) continues to make cash. George Jennings (DNP) returns…finally! A must have this week after his earlier season heroics.

Supercoach Duds - Josh Mansour (10) is out for at least a month and could be a sell or a hold depending on your depth. May not have the time to make Origin in 2015. Robert Jennings (39) was strong on debut and worth keeping an eye on.


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

Changes from Last Round
In - Gallen Out - Nil

Analysis - Cronulla are on fire and head to Pepper Stadium full of confidence as they put the woeful start to their season well and truly behind them. They will take a huge amount of confidence beating Souths without big guns Andrew Fifita and their fearless leader Paul Gallen.

Supercoach Studs - Jack Bird (71) is looming as a dead set keeper and has been the best rookie in years. Luke Lewis (81) has also hit form in the last few weeks but may be in line for NSW on the bench.

Supercoach Duds - Paul Gallen did not play but could be a great pick up next week with a breakeven of 122. Ben Barba (11) continues to play the impact role off the bench, which is no good.



South Sydney Rabbitohs v Canberra Raiders
Barlow Park - Sunday 4:00pm

1. Greg Inglis 2. Alex Johnston 3. Dylan Walker 4. Bryson Goodwin 5. Joel Reddy 6. Cameron McInnes 7. Luke Keary 8. George Burgess 9. Issac Luke 10. David Tyrrell 11. Glenn Stewart 12. Chris McQueen 13. Jason Clark
Interchange: 14. Chris Grevsmuhl 15. Nathan Brown 16. Tim Grant 17. Thomas Burgess

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - The Rabbitohs continue their slump, but do have a decent turn around against the Raiders this week. Clearly the Rabbits are missing Adam Reynolds which sees Cameron McInnes named as a stop gap solution in the halves this week. Expect John Sutton to push for a late inclusion.

Supercoach Studs - Greg Inglis (65) was great in atrocious conditions on Monday night and has good form against Canberra. Glenn Stewart (66) is a certain hold over the bye period.

Supercoach Duds - Isaac Luke (44) has bottomed out and is a good option for those looking to upgrade at hooker. Dylan Walker (23) will bounce back.


1. Jack Wighton 2. Edrick Lee 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Sisa Waqa 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Blake Austin 7. Sam Williams 8. Paul Vaughan 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Frank Paul Nuuausala 11. Josh Papalii 12. Iosia Soliola 13. Shaun Fensom
Interchange: 14. Kurt Baptiste 15. Jarrad Kennedy 16. Mark Nicholls 17. Shannon Boyd 18. Kyle O'Donnell 19. Jeremy Hawkins

Changes from Last Round
In - Fensom, Nicholls Out - Tilse, Bateman

Analysis - Canberra pulled off the biggest comeback in the club's history to defeat the Tigers and wasn't Ricky Stuart proud of the effort. Canberra really put themselves to the test here and will need to get off the bus.

Supercoach Studs - Jarrod Croker (72) is a keeper this season and is a great buy over the Origin period from now. Paul Vaughn (67) is a points per minute machine and gets his chance to start in the front row after Dane Tilse bid farewell last week, certainly worth having a look at.

Supercoach Duds - Edrick Lee (19) is up and down and not a good cash cow as many have now realised.
