Our NRL SuperCoach Round 21 team analysis breaks down team list changes, cash cows, trade targets and key insights for every game.
Eels vs Panthers – Thursday 7:50PM at CommBank Stadium
Eels
Moses returns for Parra.
Panthers
Panthers are 1-19.
SuperCoach Analysis
No interest at the Eels.
McLean, Yeo and Edwards are worth considering. Jenkins and Cleary are must haves. The Eels concede points everywhere, but there is a trend toward Supercoach scoring for opposition halves and backs. Jenkins and Cleary are obvious VC options this week.
Knights vs Roosters – Friday 6:00PM at McDonald Jones Stadium
Knights
Fletcher Hunt comes in at centre for Dane Gagia, who is out with calf tightness.
Roosters
James Tedesco returns at fullback, with Ramsey dropping out. Toia returns at centre, with Savala dropping to the bench.
SuperCoach Analysis
Ponga, Best, Marzhew, Lucas and Sharpe are your considerations here. Roosters concede the 3rd most SC points to FRF of all teams.
Tedesco and Nawaqanitawase are your options at the Chooks. Bucking recent season trends, the Knights are actually not a great SC matchup in 2026. They concede 5th most points to FLB, but have kept things tight against other positions.
Rabbitohs vs Storm – Friday 8:00PM at Accor Stadium
Rabbitohs
Cam Murray and Tallis Duncan are both out, replaced by Lachlan Hubner and Latrell Seigwalt. David Fifita has been named but will need to successfully downgrade his judiciary charge tonight to play. There are rumours Latrell Mitchell wont play again in 2026.
Storm
Jahrome Hughes returns at halfback, moving Wishart to #6. Moses Leo comes onto the wing, with Will Warbrick out for the season.
SuperCoach Analysis
Minimal interest at Souths considering their injury list. I would still be holding the likes of Koloamatangi and Fifita, however wouldn’t be buying now. I lean toward holding Tallis Duncan, but that decision largely comes down to whether or not you can cover him while out. Storm concede more SC points on average to 2RF, CTW & FLB, compared to the rest of the NRL.
Grant is still a buy. Faalogo is a hold. South Sydney concede the 2nd most point to FRF in the NRL.
Raiders vs Wests Tigers – Saturday 3:00PM at GIO Stadium
Raiders
Owen Pattie is out, which sees Tom Starling return to start at hooker. Hudson Young will miss the rest of the season, which sees Hosking move to the edge. Matty Nicholson has been added to the 6 man bench.
Wests Tigers
Latu Fainu and Adam Doueihi will fight charges at the judiciary tonight. Javon Andrews and Jock Madden will take their places if they are unsuccessful. Patrick Herbert returns at centre with Sunia Turuva, while Junior Tupou and Faaletino Tavana are on the wing. Ethan Roberts starts in the back row. Api Koroisau returns to the starting side.
SuperCoach Analysis
Some interest in Sasagi, Hosking & Tapine. Hotspots for Tigers conceding points are at FRF and CTW, though all positions score well on average.
May is a must have. Twal will be a buy in a week or two. HLF and FRF typically score well against the Raiders.
Bulldogs vs Warriors – Saturday 5:35PM at Accor Stadium
Bulldogs
Stephen Crichton returns in the halves. Kikau will start after a successful return last week from the bench.
Warriors
Warriors are 1-13.
SuperCoach Analysis
No interest at the Bulldogs. Kiraz is a hold if you own, but his injury record makes him hard to recommend. Kikau and Preston can be considered at a pitch, and 2RF do tend to score well vs the Warriors.
No interest at the Warriors.
Cowboys vs Broncos – Saturday 7:35PM at Accor Stadium
Cowboys
Jake Clifford has again been recalled after Todd Payten’s yearly dropping of him despite being the Cowboys best player most weeks. Purdue moves to centre, while Tom Mikaele starts after returning from concussion.
Broncos
Xavier Willison starts on an edge, with Preston Riki starting in the front row. Billy Walters is part of the extended bench.
Supercoach Analysis
Drinkwater, Burns & Purdue can be considered pending team balance. HLF & FLB tend to score well vs the Broncos.
I am all aboard Reece Walsh. Something appeared to click last week, and I see no reason why this shouldn’t continue after finally finding his mojo. At his price, he is a must have. Haas is also a must, while I would be considering Carrigan and Willison. Cowboys concede points everywhere, but are particularly weak against HOK, 2RF, HLB & FLB.
Dragons vs Titans – Sunday 2:00PM at St George Venues Jubilee Stadium
Dragons
Dragons are 1-19.
Titans
Jaylan de Groot replaces the concussed AJ Brimson at centre.
Supercoach Analysis
Both Couchman brothers are still all I am interested in here. Titans concede most points to FRF, 2RF, 58 and CTW.
Kini, Campbell & Tino are the targets here. Dragons concede more points than any team to both CTW and FLB.
Sea Eagles vs Sharks – Sunday 4:05PM at 4Pines Park
Sea Eagles
Lehi Hopoate will play fullback, with Koula moving to the wing and Feledy playing centre. Ben Trbojevic returns from concussion in the back row. Nic Lenaz has been named on the bench.
Sharks
Jesse Ramien returns at centre. Addin Fonua-Blake has been named despite dealing with a pec injury. Talakai and Colquhoun return via the bench.
Supercoach Analysis
Olakau’atu is a must have. Hopoate and Koula can be considered pending team balance.
Hynes is a must have. Brailey, Iro and Mulitalo can be considered for the Sharks soft run home.
