Team List Tuesday - Analysis Round 20

Wests Tigers v Sydney Roosters
ANZ Stadium - Friday 7:35pm

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

Changes from Last Round
In - Nofoaluma, Buchanan, Santi (extended bench)
Out - Milone, Seumanufagai

Analysis - The Wests Tigers are now last on the ladder and will have their work cut out for them against the in form Roosters. David Nofoaluma returns to the starting side and will have to be on his game marking the electric Blake Ferguson. Captain Robbie Farah is still at least one week away.

Supercoach Studs - Aaron Woods (54) remains an option for the run home. Martin Taupau (65) bounced back to form and will be up for the clash against Kiwi teammates in Jared Warea-Hargraves and Sam Moa.

Supercoach Duds - Curtis Sironen (21) and Tim Simona (25) are the future of this young Tigers side but have had a terrible run with injuries in 2015.

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

Changes from Last Round
In - Cordner
Out - Hastings

Analysis - The Roosters thrashed the Warriors on Sunday which put the rest of the competition on notice. Boyd Cordner returns to the side after being rested by Coach Robinson last week, Jackson Hastings makes way.

Supercoach Studs - Blake Ferguson (89) has hit a rich vein of form and is a superb point of difference at this point in time. James Maloney (90) fired last week and again is a great option should Daly Cherry-Evans be ruled out. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is a serious VC choice this week.

Supercoach Duds - Jackson Hastings (15) will get more time next year as he looks like getting first shot in the halves following the departure of James Maloney to the Sharks. Currently, he has auto-emergency nightmare written all over him.

Brisbane Broncos v Gold Coast Titans
Suncorp Stadium - Friday 7:35pm

1. Darius Boyd 2. Lachlan Maranta 3. Jordan Kahu 4. Justin Hodges 5. Corey Oates 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Sam Thaiday 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Adam Blair 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Jarrod Wallace 15. Mitchell Dodds 16. Dale Copley 17. Kodi Nikorima

Changes from Last Round
In - Copley, Nikorima
Out - Reed, Parcell

Analysis - The Broncos head into the South East Queensland derby at the summit of the competition table and will be looking to keeping their winning streak going against the struggling Titans. Jack Reed has been suspended this week, which sees Jordan Kahu moves to centre and Corey Oates to the wing. Dale Copley and Kodi Nikorima return to the 17.

Supercoach Studs - Matt Gillett (61) continues the consistent scores with another solid performance. Ben Hunt (71) is also worth considering for the run home especially with the cloud hanging over Daly Cherry-Evans. Corey Parker (78) is of course the sensible captain choice this week.

Supercoach Duds - Jordan Kahu (11) was hooked for Corey Oates (61) but gets his chance to redeem himself in the centres, however he should have already been moved on.

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. David Hala

Changes from Last Round
In - Gordon, Sezer, Burr, Hala (extended bench)
Out - Taylor, Don, Peteru, Redman

Analysis - The Titans welcome back five-eighth Aidan Sezer in a big boost to the side. This sees Daniel Mortimer move to the bench as well as Lachlan Burr and Kevin Gordon returning to the side after the Titans worst performance of the season last weekend.

Supercoach Studs - Greg Bird (68) returned to the park last weekend and was one of the only Titans who could walk off the field with his head held high. Daniel Mortimer (51) as mentioned, returns to the bench to accommodate the return of Aidan Sezer.

Supercoach Duds - James Roberts (26) has again dipped in form and has a high breakeven, it's only a matter of time before he finds the stripe but he relies too heavily on attacking stats.

New Zealand Warriors v Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles
Mt Smart Stadium - Saturday 3:00pm

1. Sam Tomkins 2. Glen Fisiiahi 3. Tuimoala Lolohea 4. Solomone Kata 5. Jonathan Wright 6. Chad Townsend 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Nathan Friend 10. Ben Matulino 11. Bodene Thompson 12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 13. Simon Mannering
Interchange: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Sione Lousi 16. Sam Rapira 17. Albert Vete 18. Sam Lisone

Changes from Last Round
In - Fishiahi, Lisone (extended bench)
Out - Fusit'ua

Analysis - The Warriors were out classed and given an almighty lesson by the Roosters at Allianz Stadium and will need to bounce back quickly as the return home to host Manly. Glen Fishiahi returns to the side after a long term injury has kept him on the sidelines in 2015. A huge match for their finals aspirations.

Supercoach Studs - Simon Mannering (81) was strong in a losing side and is a must have in your backrow. Bodene Thompson (64) is also a must in the centres. Raymond Faitala-Mariner (65) has made a fist of replacing NSW second rower Ryan Hoffman who returns next week.

Supercoach Duds - Shaun Johnson (22) was bullied out of the game early by the Roosters pack but returns to comfortable Auckland and is a keeper to the end. Ben Matulino (40) is a concern for owners and is starting to leak cash, he could be upgraded to Paul Gallen this week.

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. Tom Symonds 13. Ligi Sao
Interchange: 14. Luke Burgess 15. Jayden Hodges 16. Justin Horo 17. Josh Starling 18. James Hasson

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - No changes to the Manly side, however Daly Cherry-Evans is in considerable doubt with a suspected pectoral injury in their loss to the Cowboys. Ligi Sao will need to beat a charge from the judiciary to play. Manly now need to win their remaining games to be any chance of making this years finals series.

Supercoach Studs - Jamie Lyon (48) was again solid since his return from injury but is only worth keeping an eye on should Manly bounce back. Jake Trbojevic (56) has been the find of the season at Brookvale.

Supercoach Duds - Daly Cherry-Evans (25) left the field at halftime and is now in doubt for the rest of the season which would be a brutal blow. We may have to wait until game day to find out his fate and downgrading to Adam Reynolds is not a bad option should he be ruled out. Feleti Mateo's (32) resurgence looks over and he is an upgrade option this week.

Melbourne Storm v St. George Illawarra Dragons
McLean Park - Saturday 5:30pm

1. Cameron Munster 2. Marika Koroibete 3. Will Chambers 4. Tohu Harris 5. Richard Kennar 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 - The Storm host the Dragons at AAMI Park and have made no changes. Melbourne were sensational for skipper Cameron Smith's 300th game, putting the Panthers to the sword in their best performance this year.

Supercoach Studs - Cooper Cronk (126) was sensational against the Panthers but hasn't been Supercoach relevant in 2015. Will Chambers (71) bounced back and owners will be hoping for a similar performance this week, he is incredibly cheap this week. Marika Koroibete (109) is explosive and has the capacity to go large if the Storm hit form.

Supercoach Duds - Not too many didn't star last Friday, Ryan Hinchcliffe (30) and Tim Glasby (30) were even pretty good considering their minutes.

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. Heath L'Estrange 17. Will Matthews 18. Drew Hutchison 20. Mark Ioane

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - No changes for the Dragons, who welcomed back a lot of cattle last weekend against the Rabbitohs. St George have now lost six in a row and have now slipped out of the Top 8. They will be desperate to try and turn their season back on a positive path.

Supercoach Studs - Josh Dugan (70) may be traditionally made of glass but he has been outstanding for the Dragons and is also available in the centres. Solid pick up for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Gareth Widdop (5) has had a nose dive in form, quite similar to the Dragons fortunes and needs to go. Jason Nightingale (31) didn't get too many opportunities against the Bunnies.

South Sydney Rabbitohs v Newcastle Knights
ANZ Stadium - Saturday 7:30pm

1. Greg Inglis 2. Alex Johnston 3. Dylan Walker 4. Bryson Goodwin 5. Aaron Gray 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. Ben Lowe 15. Chris Grevsmuhl 16. David Tyrrell 17. Thomas Burgess

Changes from Last Round
In - Luke
Out - McInnes

Analysis - Souths like all the favoured sides last weekend made a big statement to remind the competition that they are the defending premiers. Isaac Luke returns to the starting side and with Greg Inglis and Adam Reynolds back to their best, Souths could be about to make a run.

Supercoach Studs - Greg Inglis (84) is one of the buys of the round, despite the fact he is only available at fullback. His form in Origin was sensational and last week he looked ominous with every touch. Adam Reynolds (70) also looked a lot fitter after his injury and is a bargain buy this week.

Supercoach Duds - Aaron Grey (11) and Chris Grevsmuhl (21) have done their dash for 2015.

1. Kurt Gidley 2. Jake Mamo 3. James McManus 4. Dane Gagai 5. Akuila Uate 6. Jarrod Mullen 7. Tyrone Roberts 8. Kade Snowden 9. Adam Clydsdale 10. Korbin Sims 11. Beau Scott 12. Tariq Sims 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 14. Danny Levi 15. David Fa'alogo 16. Chris Houston 17. Clint Newton

Changes from Last Round
In - Clydsdale
Out - Randell

Analysis - Newcastle finally broke through last week after a horrible stretch of losses. The Knights have no time to celebrate as they come up against the defending premiers. Adam Clydsdale returns to hooker in the only change.

Supercoach Studs - Kade Snowden (85) was again strong for the Knights and has been flying under the radar, good point of difference in the front row. Tyrone Roberts (70) demonstrated that he is a good footballer the week after Trent Hodkinson was recruited to the club for next year.

Supercoach Duds - Dane Gagai (20) left the field and sent straight to hospital with an irregular heartbeat but has been named to make an incredible return this week.

Penrith Panthers v Canberra Raiders
Pepper Stadium - Sunday 2:00pm

1. William Smith 2. Waqa Blake 3. Dean Whare 4. Isaah Yeo 5. David Simmons 6. Jamie Soward 7. Peter Wallace 8. Nigel Plum 9. James Segeyaro 10. Regan Campbell-Gillard 11. Lewis Brown 12. Sika Manu 13. Elijah Taylor
Interchange: 14. Tyrone Peachey 15. Jeremy Latimore 16. Sam McKendry 17. Bryce Cartwright 18. Apisai Koroisau 21. Robert Jennings

Changes from Last Round
In - Simmons, Manu
Out - Nil

Analysis - Penrith were embarrassed last start against the Storm and will be desperate to bounce back when they host the Raiders. Dave Simmons and Sika Manu return to the starting side, which sees young gun Bryce Cartwright return to the bench.

Supercoach Studs - Isaah Yeo (59) has been strong since replacing Jamal Idris in the centres. Tyrone Peachey (59) saw big minutes due to the injury to Bryce Cartwright.

Supercoach Duds - Bryce Cartwright (14) injured his knee early against the Storm and failed to return. Ivan Cleary hates Supercoach which has been obvious all year and here he has named his best player from the last 6 weeks on the bench! Horrible news! James Segeyaro (39) has been named to start this week, with Api Koroisau (13) named on the extended bench. Wait and see for late changes.

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 were left heart broken when they went down to Cronulla in Golden Point on Saturday. Josh McCrone has been handed the number 7 jersey for this vital game at Pepper Stadium.

Supercoach Studs - Blake Austin (79) continued his red hot form and will be looking to continue his white hot form against his former club the Panthers. David Shillington (74) has wound back to clock this year. Josh Papalli (62) scored a try and was great in the second half. A sound point of difference given the Raiders only play one Top 8 side on the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Joseph Leilua (13) was very ordinary against the Sharks and is probably lucky Sisa Waqa (32) is injured this week. Kurt Baptiste (13) was a foil for a late change in the halves as suspected last week.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
Belmore Sports Ground - Sunday 4:00pm

1. Brett Morris 2. Curtis Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Timoteo Lafai 5. Sam Perrett 6. Josh Reynolds 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. Aiden Tolman 9. Michael Lichaa 10. James Graham 11. Josh Jackson 12. Frank Pritchard 13. Greg Eastwood
Interchange: 14. Sam Kasiano 15. Shaun Lane 16. David Klemmer 17. Moses Mbye 20. Tim Browne

Changes from Last Round
In -Browne (extended bench)
Out - Nil

Analysis - Canterbury dispatched of their fierce rivals the Eels with a dominant second half performance. The Bulldogs head back to Belmore this Sunday and welcome back favourite son Michael Ennis, which should ensure a vocal and passionate local crowd. Josh Reynolds and Trent Hodkinson have again been named in the halves with young gun Moses Mbye to start from the bench.

Supercoach Studs - Brett Morris (102) was a sensational buy last week and showed he will be on the end of a lot of the Bulldogs attacking plays. Josh Jackson (98) was also superb and is a great buy this week as he is available in both the backrow and centres.

Supercoach Duds - Not many disappointments in the Dogs side on Friday. James Graham (39) has been eased back from injury by Des Hasler.

1. Michael Gordon 2. Sosaia Feki 3. Gerard Beale 4. Ricky Leutele 5. Valentine Holmes 6. Jack Bird 7. Jeff Robson 8. Andrew Fifita 9. Michael Ennis 10. Sam Tagataese 11. Luke Lewis 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen
Interchange: 14. Ben Barba 15. Chris Heighington 16. David Fifita 17. Jayson Bukuya 18. Matt Prior 21. Anthony Tupou

Changes from Last Round
In - Barba, Prior, Tupou
Out - Nil

Analysis - The Sharks were elated to leave Canberra with a deserved 2 points and will hope this can kick start their run to the finals. The Sharks will be up against a very hostile home crowd and Ben Barba, who returns to the 17 this week, will certainly know where he is when he comes on from the bench. Anthony Tupou has been named on the extended bench, returning from a horrible broken jaw against the Warriors back in Round 9.

Supercoach Studs - Andrew Fifita (83) scored a try and should have had two after the video ref spectacularly got the call wrong. Paul Gallen (79) is again a super buy and must be considered this week. Luke Lewis (79) like Josh Jackson is a superb addition to the backline.

Supercoach Duds - Jack Bird (27) has now done his dash and can be moved on after a enormous rookie season.

North Queensland Cowboys v Parramatta Eels
1300SMILES Stadium - Monday 7:00pm

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 18. Sam Hoare

Changes from Last Round
In -Tamou
Out - Nil

Analysis - The Cowboys like the other contenders flexed their premiership credentials against the Sea Eagles. Jonathan Thurston is in career best form and looks odds on for another Dally M this season. North Queensland will now fix their eyes on the Minor Premiership race with the Broncos

Supercoach Studs - Jonathan Thurston (86) is carving up and is worth considering as captain against the Eels who are decimated by injury. Michael Morgan (89) was superb in the second half and is a left field option for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Jason Taumalolo (40) hasn't fired since his return from a knee injury and can't be considered at this stage.

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 - Robinson, Joseph Paulo, Kelly, Alvaro, De Gois
Out - Sandow, Norman, Watmough, Wicks

Analysis - Parramatta are officially in crisis, losing Corey Norman, Anthony Watmough and Danny Wicks for the season. Further to this halfback Chris Sandow looks to have played his last game for the club.

Supercoach Studs - Semi Radradra (67) is a freak and just keeps finding the line. Tim Mannah (78) was again strong and has lead by example all year.

Supercoach Duds - Danny Wicks (22), Anthony Watmough (48) and Chris Sandow (10) will not return in 2015.
