Our NRL SuperCoach Round 15 team analysis breaks down team list changes, cash cows, trade targets and key insights for every game.
Rabbitohs vs Broncos – Thursday 7:50PM at Accor Stadium
Rabbitohs
Tallis Duncan moves to centre to cover Campbell Graham, who is out for a month. Euan Aitken partners David Fifita in the back row. Lachlan Hubner starts at lock, covering Cam Murray who is on Origin duty.
Broncos
Hayze Perham, Antonio Verhoeven and Jordan Riki come into the starting side. Jack Gosiewski moves to prop. Haas, Walsh and Staggs are unavailable due to Origin duty.
SuperCoach Analysis
No interest at Souths with a bye coming next week. Fifita & Koloamatangi are on my watch list. A few people are buying Siegwalt, though I don’t have much interest.
Willison should score really well over the next month or so with Carrigan out injured and Haas missing games through Origin.
Dolphins vs Roosters – Friday 8:00PM at Suncorp Stadium
Dolphins
Trai Fuller, Tevita Naufahu, Felise Kaufusi, Brad Schneider and Oryn Keeley all come in for their Origin representatives. Issy Katoa has been named to play, despite being named as cover for the Blues in Origin 2.
Roosters
Cherry-Evans moves to halfback to cover Sam Walker, with Savala coming into the halves. Ramsey, Foley, Butcher, Talau, Foketi come in for Tedesco, Toia, Nawaqanitawase and Radley. Ioelu, Losalu, Bassingthwaite and De La Salle Va’a come onto the bench.
SuperCoach Analysis
Isaako and Farnworth are both excellent options.
Crichton is really cheap at $533k. There are a lot of good options in the back row, so I will be looking elsewhere but can understand those who take the leap.
Warriors vs Sharks – Saturday 5:35PM at Go Media Stadium
Warriors
Fisher-Harris is out with a calf injury, which sees Stowers-Smith replace him in the front row. Halasima is out with a hamstring complaint, which sees Niukore start on an edge. Barnett and Capewell miss out due to Origin commitments. Nicoll-Klokstad is listed on the reserves as he looks to return from injury.
Sharks
Ramien returns at centre. Fonua-Blake and Nikora are both in Origin camp, which sees Colquhoun and Burns come into the starting side. Hiroti and Hohepa Puru return to the bench. Sione Katoa is lingering on the reserves as he looks to return from injury.
SuperCoach Analysis
May, Pearce-Paul & Twal are all excellent buys this week with the Tigers awesome bye coverage if you don’t already own them.
Mulitalo & Iro both interest me, with the Sharks only having one bye to come (R17) as well as a relatively soft draw home. We know the Sharks are capable of putting points on, so I would be looking to jump on now or in Round 18 pending team makeup.
Eels vs Raiders – Saturday 7:35PM at Commbank Stadium
Eels
No changes for the Eels.
Raiders
Seb Kris returns at centre, shifting the versatile Daine Laurie to #6 to cover Ethan Strange who is in Origin camp. Jed Stuart comes in for Tamale, who enteres concussion protocols. Ata Mariota starts on an edge for Hudson Young who is also on Origin duty.
SuperCoach Analysis
No interest at the Eels.
Tapine is averaging 66, with 64.1 coming from base power. He has a 5RA of 77.2 after finding his offload recently. If you can cover him in R18 and R26, I like him as a purchase at $662k.
Wests Tigers – Sunday 4:05PM at Leichhardt Oval
Wests Tigers
Taylan May returns early from a shoulder injury, which sees Turuva move back to the wing. Makasini will partner him. Latu Fainu starts at hooker with Api Koroisau on Origin duty. Sione Fainu start at lock, with Sukkar starting on the edge.
Titans
Klese Haas and Jaylan de Groot come in at prop and centre respectively, replacing Origin due Jojo Fifita and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui.
SuperCoach Analysis
I like Taylan May, though have concerns around his health after a very early return. If he gets through the next week or two, I will look to work him into my side. Makasini will provide great bye coverage for those that still own, so I would be holding until post Origin. Pearce-Paul & May are must haves.
Some interest in Jayden Campbell and Beau Fermor, though this is team makeup specific and might not be for everyone.
