Our NRL SuperCoach Round 10 team analysis breaks down team list changes, cash cows, trade targets and key insights for every game.
Dolphins vs Bulldogs – Thursday 7:50PM at Suncorp Stadium
Dolphins
Kodi Nikorima and Jeremy Marshall-King have been named on the extended bench.
Bulldogs
Bulldogs are 1-13. Harry Hayes and Sean O’Sullivan come on the bench. Sitili Tupounia and Josh Curran could be a game day swap as seen last week.
SuperCoach Analysis
Finefeuiaki continues to bust out huge numbers, and has shown he has an ability to find the line. I expect he might be a bolter for Origin 1. Farnworth now boasts an average of almost 90 and is a must have, as I say every week.
Minimal interest at the Bulldogs until we see more from them.
Roosters vs Titans – Friday 6:00PM at Polytec Stadium
Roosters
Angus Crichton has been named, but it remains to be seen whether he takes the field considering his injury last week. Mark Nawaqanitawase is out with an ankle injury, which sees Cody Ramsey come in on the wing. Lindsay Collins misses out with concussion, replaced by Spencer Leniu.
Titans
Jayden Campbell has moved to 5/8, which sees Zane Harrison come in at halfback and Lachlan Ilias move to the reserves. Klese Haas, Oliver Pascoe and Cooper Bai all start. Chris Randall moves to the back row, with Arama Hau, Sam Verrills and Kurt Morrin moving to the bench.
SuperCoach Analysis
Tedesco & Walker are still the targets here. Nawaqanitawase is a sell after picking up an ankle injury.
Kini & Jayden Campbell are the best options at the Titans, though people are starting to lose patience with Kini. I still recommend a hold as he covers the first two major bye rounds. Both Tino and Fermor have bottomed out showed better output last week, though I expect them to both play for Queensland in Origin 1, giving them awful bye coverage. Faeamani has now peaked and can be sold, though is out injured so can wait if there are other priority trades to make. Arama Hau looks to be a sell.
Cowboys vs Eels – Friday 8:00PM at Queensland Country Bank Stadium
Cowboys
Sam McIntrye starts in the back row, with Nanai being ruled out with a shoulder injury.
Eels
Tallyn Da Silva starts at hooker, with Ryley Smith missing with a sternum injury. Will Penisini looks to have been dropped, with Jordan Samrani coming in for him at centre.
SuperCoach Analysis
Scott Drinkwater is now averaging 80, and boasts a 5RA of 89.8. Priced at $784 and very unlikely to play Origin (due to the form of Edwards and Tedesco) he looks an enticing pick up as he plays the first major bye round. He misses the other two, however.
No real SC relevance at the Eels. Jack Williams might become an option from Round 13.
Dragons vs Knights – Saturday 3:00PM at WIN Stadium
Dragons
Clint Gutherson returns at fullback, with Sloan moving back to the bench. Kade Reed stats at halfback again. Ryan Couchman pairs Dylan Egan in the back row. Luciano Leilua is supended.
Knights
Knights are 1-17, with Harrison Graham added to the extended bench.
SuperCoach Analysis
Toby Couchman is averaging 65 in base power and is now has settled minutes compared to the start of hte season. He has a low score of 67 in his last 4 games and covers the first major bye. Setu Tu will become a sell in the coming weeks as he peaks in value.
Mixed outcomes from last weeks calls at the Knights. Ponga and Lucas especially performed well, though Mooney tonned up after I recommended selling. People who held will now make good cash, though I recommend a sale before the Round 12 bye. Sharpe still looks to be playing injured and is a wait and see at this point.
Rabbitohs vs Sharks – Saturday 5:30PM at Accor Stadium
Rabbitohs
Jye Gray returns, moving Matt Dufty to the bench. Koloamatangi returns to front row, with Euan Aitken coming into the second row. Campbell Graham moves to centre with Wighton out for around 6 weeks. Ed Kosi comes onto the right wing. Ashton Ward starts at halfback, with Jamie Humphreys moving to the bench.
Sharks
Sharks are 1-17.
SuperCoach Analysis
Latrell Mitchel is now worth almost $1.1m, and boasts a 3RA of 148.7 and 5RA of 131.6. He is absolutely unplayable at the moment, and I hope he carries this form into Origin. Koloamatangi will be a great pick up should be miss Origin selection, and is currently available at $526k. Cody Walker has likely peaked, however there aren’t many obvious buys at five-eighth, so most will likely just hold throughout the Origin period as he plays all major byes.
Iro, Hynes & Brailey are great options (as mentioned last week), though none will play Round 12. Fonua-Blake has bottomed out, however I would like to see more from him before recommending as a buy.
Sea Eagles vs Broncos – Saturday 7:35PM at 4Pines Park
Sea Eagles
Fogarty returns at halfback. Ethan Bullemor starts, with Kobe Hetherington entering concussion protocols.
Broncos
Tom Duffy will start at halfback again, with Reynolds ruled out due to concussion. Kotoni Staggs is suspended, which sees Jesse Arthars come in at centre. Antonio Verhoeven comes in on the wing, with Deine Mariner expected to miss around 8 weeks. Ben Hunt is listed amongst the reserves.
Supercoach Analysis
Koula & Olaukau’atu are my interesting options here, though I expect Haumole to play Origin. His performance last week was special and is now averaging 62 in base power.
Usual suspects appeal here, though both Walsh and Carrigan have Origin soon. I am avoiding Tom Duffy despite the -65 BE as Reynolds should be back next week.
Storm vs Tigers – Sunday 2:00PM at AAMI Park
Storm
Tyran Wishart is out with an ankle injury, though Jahrome Hughes has recovered in time and will take his place back in the starting side.
Wests Tigers
Heath Mason comes in at fullback, with Turuva moving to the wing. Starford Toa is replaced by Patrick Herbert at centre. Jock Madden comes in at halfback, with the luckless Adam Doueihi ruled out with a shoulder injury. Samuela Fainu is out with a foot injury, which sees Kai Pearce-Paul return and Sione Fainu earn a start on the edge.
Supercoach Analysis
Lisati put up 60 points on his return from injury, and you can justify a buy based on his output and current price ($377k) for another week.
May and Twal are must haves, averaging 79 and 83 in base power alone respectively. The Tigers do miss Round 12, so factor that into your decision. Doueihi is an unfortunate sell.
Raiders vs Panthers – Sunday 4:05PM at GIO Stadium
Raiders
Ethan Strange returns from an ankle injury, which sees Daine Laurie move to the bench and Kaeo Weekes play fullback. Joe Roddy is out with a hand injury, however big gun Hudson Young is back on deck. Jayden Brailey retains his starting place at lock.
Panthers
Panthers are 1-13.
Supercoach Analysis
Sasagi should be in most teams, but Tapine & Horsburgh (pending Origin) can be considered here considering the Raiders play the first two major byes. Young is great but is hard to recommend as a buy pre Origin.
Yeo, Cleary, To’o and Edwards are all assured or likely to play Origin this year.
