Our NRL SuperCoach Round 11 team analysis breaks down team list changes, cash cows, trade targets and key insights for every game.
Sharks vs Bulldogs – Friday 6:00PM at Suncorp Stadium
Sharks
Sharks welcome back stalwarts Jesse Ramien and Ronaldo Mulitalo this week. Talakai moves to the bench, with Hiroti moving to the extended bench. Brayke Braileys streak of consecutive games played comes to an end due to concussion, with Jayden Berrell deputising. Cam McInnes misses out with an ankle injury.
Bulldogs
Burton, King and Mann all return. Hughes shifts to the bench, with Curran and O’Sullivan moving to the reserves.
SuperCoach Analysis
Iro & Hynes are still 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. Blayke Brailey should be part of the Origin setup and is out this week, so I would be looking elsewhere at Hooker.
No real interest at the Bulldogs.
Rabbitohs vs Dolphins – Friday 8:05PM at Suncorp Stadium
Rabbitohs
Latrell Mitchell returns at centre, which drops his namesake to the extended bench. Alex Johnstone is out injured, which sees Bentley-Hape come onto the wing.
Dolphins
Dolphins are 1-13.
SuperCoach Analysis
Most would have sold Latrell last week, which I still think was the right play. Cody Walker has peaked, though he can be kept for the Round 12 bye round.
Isaako put up a monster score and will be very popular this week as he covers all 3 bye rounds. Jack Bostock is interesting as a POD play. He has a base power average of 44 and plays in a side that scores points. He is elite in the air and will always be a target for attacking kicks, and benefits from the new try assist scoring changes playing at centre. Herbie is a no brainer as always.
Wests Tigers vs Sea Eagles – Saturday 3:00PM at Suncorp Stadium
Wests Tigers
Terrell May returns at prop. Latu Fainu start at hooker, with Tristan Hope moving to the bench.
Sea Eagles
Jamal Fogarty has been named to return. Clayton Faulolo will play fullback as he did last week, with Koula returning to his usual starting spot at left centre. Brandon Wakeham is suspended, so Jake Simpkin comes in for him.
SuperCoach Analysis
Both May brothers, Alex Twal and Pearce-Paul are the players to target at the Tigers.
Koula and Olakau’atu are the players to target at Manly.
Roosters vs Cowboys – Saturday 5:30PM at Suncorp Stadium
Roosters
Watson starts at lock with Radley suspended. Lindsay Collins returns to the starting side, which sees Spencer Leniu move to the bench.
Cowboys
Jake Clifford moves to halfback, with Tom Dearden set to miss 2 months. Liam Sutton has been named in the #6 jersey and will make his NRL debut. Matt Lodge starts, with Jason Taumololo being rested.
SuperCoach Analysis
Tedesco, Toia, Walker, Crichton and Wong all have varying degrees of Supercoach relevance, though up to 4 of this bunch could play Origin.
Drinkwater, Purdue & Luki are your considerations at the Cowboys.
Eels vs Storm – Saturday 7:45PM at Suncorp Stadium
Eels
Eels are 1-19.
Storm
Sua Faalogo has been named at fullback. Moses Leo comes in on the wing, with Hugo Peel out.
SuperCoach Analysis
Jordan Samrani put up amazing numbers last week. If he can continue with that sort of output, he becomes an option. Jack Williams is someone to consider after Round 12.
Faalogo, Hughes, Utoikamanu, Grant & Lisati are your considerations. Lisati in particular is putting up unreal numbers and could end up being a season long hold. He now has a base power average of 71 (only behind Twal, May & Ford)
Titans vs Knights – Sunday 2:00PM at Suncorp Stadium
Titans
Titans are 1-13. Luke Sommerton comes onto the bench for Sam Verrills.
Knights
Knights are 1-13, with Cody Hopwood coming into the 17.
Supercoach Analysis
Kini, Campbell, Pascoe, Fermor and Fa’asuamaleaui are all viable options this year, though they have an upcoming bye in Round 13 and a few that could be selected for Origin. Pascoe was super impressive last week and looks to have a very fantasy relevant game. Hopefully he continues to get the minutes
Plenty of relevance at the Knights, though they have a less than ideal bye schedule. Ponga, Best, Marzhew, Sharpe & Lucas are all great options with their incredibly soft run to come. The next games are Titans, Eels, Storm, Dragons, Tigers & Dolphins.
Warriors vs Broncos – Sunday 4:05PM at Suncorp Stadium
Warriors
Barnett comes in at prop, with Jackson Ford moving to the bench. Leiataua & Egan both return and will start. Tuivasa-Sheck and Luke Metcalf both are out.
Broncos
Adam Reynolds returns at halfback, with Ben Hunt moving back to the bench. Philip Coates makes his NRL debut on the wing. Xavier Willison moves to prop, with Jaiyden Hunt named in the back row.
Supercoach Analysis
Ford on the bench isn’t ideal, however nobody expected his ridiculous minutes to continue. I still expect him to play 65 minutes or so, and have huge output as he has already shown.
Only interested in Origin players at the Broncos at this point (Walsh, Carrigan)
Panthers vs Dragons – Sunday 6:25PM at Suncorp Stadium
Panthers
Jack Cogger comes onto the bench for Jack Cole.
Dragons
Flanagan returns at halfback due to the injury to Kade Reed. Moses Suli returns at centre, which sees Sloan move to the bench. Tuipulotu comes onto the wing for Mat Feagai. Daniel Atkinson and Luciano Leilua return.
Supercoach Analysis
Jenkins has a BE of 126 but has the Dragons this week so might have bottomed out. He hasn’t scored above 50 since Round 7 but is still averaging 84 – shows how ridiculous his season opening was. Papali’i amd McLean are ones to consider post Round 12. Yeo, Cleary and Edwards are elite, but will play Origin.
Both Couchmans are very relevant. Ryan has a base power average of 69, despite rarely starting games (top 5 of all players) Dylan Egan is a weapon and someone I will be keeping a very close eye on in the coming weeks after easing back in against the Knights.
