Check out our team list analysis for Round 25!
Please note, all ownership stats are focused on the top 10%, rather than collective ownership.
Rabbitohs vs Dragons – Thursday 7.50PM at Accor Stadium
Rabbitohs
Keaon Koloamatangi is back on deck, starting in the front row. Tallis Duncan will play centre again, as he has recently. Jai Arrow moves to the back row, with Lachlan Hubner returning at lock. Cody Walker and Brandon Smith are again named on the bench.
Dragons
Jacob Halangahu, Ben Murdoch-Masila and Blake Lawrie come in for the concussed trio of Hamish Stewart, Jack de Belin and Hame Sele. Tyrell Sloan comes onto the bench.
SuperCoach Analysis
Tallis Duncan continues to get the job done, however I feel non-owners have missed the boat and should not be buying now.
Mathew Feagai continues to get the job done, boasting a 3RA of 92.3, however he is unlikely to come up against defence as bad as Adam Pompey’s last week again. Fixtures are decent, especially if Penrith decide to rest players before finals. With a BE of -32, he is expected to make cash, however cash generation is not high on the priority list currently. Luciano Leilua is a reasonable pick up this week in draft competitions considering their bench makeup.
Panthers vs Raiders – Friday 6.00PM at Glen Willow Oval
Panthers
Isaah Yeo is likely to return from a shoulder issue after being named in the extended squad. I would expect Matt Eisenhuth to drop out of the 17 should he be fit.
Raiders
Raiders are 1-17.
SuperCoach Analysis
Plenty of Supercoach interest at the Panthers, as usual. I am less keen on Edwards now that he is not goal kicking, however he is still a good option at fullback. McLean (2.3%), Jenkins (3%), Talagi (5%) and To’o (12.7%) are all viable options to run due to their strong scoring potential in such a good side.
A tricky fixture this week, however the Raiders then have the Tigers and Dolphins to finish the season. Young (50.1%), Tapine (23.3%) and Kaeo Weekes are considerations for final teams, however if you have spare trades left I would be looking to use them on more desirable matchups this week.
Storm vs Bulldogs – Friday 8.00PM at AAMI Park
Storm
Ryan Papenhuyzen has been named in the extended squad, with Munster continuing at fullback for now. Shawn Blore is out, with Joe Chan replacing him in the back row. Keep an eye on final team lists for any changes.
Bulldogs
Bulldogs are 1-17, though Montoya and Tupouniua are both part of the extended squad as they look to return from injury.
SuperCoach Analysis
Katoa, Munster and Grant are all very highly owned, with good reason. Alternative options to consider are Meaney (6.6%), Wishart (1.4%) & Coates (0.7%), though I do believe there are better fixtures to target.
A less than desirable run home has me not overly interested in Bulldogs players, though I wouldn’t sell any if you already own. The exception to this is Jacob Kiraz obviously, who is the #1 CTW in Supercoach with Herbie Farnworth out injured.
Sea Eagles vs Dolphins – Saturday 3.00PM (AEST) at 4 Pines Park
Sea Eagles
Reuben Garrick is out with a shoulder injury that could end his season. Tommy Talau comes in for him, while Aaron Schoupp comes onto the bench.
Dolphins
Felise Kaufusi and Francis Molo both return from suspension, which sees Mark Nicholls return to the bench and Aublix Tawha drop out of the 17. Max Feagai is back at centre, which pushes Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow to fullback. Trai Fuller is named on the bench.
SuperCoach Analysis
Tom Trbojevic (22.1%) is looking decent again, however I am still warning people off him unless you have 4+ trades left and can afford to move him on if he gets injured again. Upcoming games against the Dolphins and Dragons all appeal. Daly Cherry-Evans (1.1%), Tolutau Koula (2.5%) and Lehi Hopoate (10.6%) can all be considered due to their great strength of schedule.
A favourable upcoming run for the Phins, along with a Grand Final match against the Titans in Round 26 has me somewhat interested. Katoa (3.5%), Marshall-King (1.9%) and Tabui-Fidow (1.2%) all have crazy low ownership and can be considered for the run home.
Titans vs Warriors – Saturday 5.30PM at Cbus Super Stadium
Titans
Brian Kelly and Jojo Fifita return to the starting side, which pushes Beau Fermor to the back row. Jaimin Jolliffe is out for the season, which sees Reagan Campbell-Gillard start at prop. David Fifita has had ankle surgery, and will miss the rest of the season.
Warriors
Kurt Capewell, Te Maire Martin and Rocco Berry all return. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad moves to fullback, which sees Taine Tuapiki move to 18th man. Leka Halasima is preferred on the bench. Jackson Ford is suspended, which gifts a start to Demitric Vaimauga.
SuperCoach Analysis
Jayden Campbell is my only interest here.
The Warriors have a great run home, so I do have some interest there. Tuivasa-Sheck (13.9%), Erin Clark (55%) are my picks here, as Webster keeps mucking around with Halasima’s minutes.
Eels vs Roosters – Saturday 7.35PM at CommBank Stadium
Eels
Iongi has been named at fullback, which moves Joash Papali’i to the #6 jersey. Dylan Walker starts at lock.
Roosters
Daniel Tupou is out with concussion. Junior Tupou takes his place on the wing. Naufahu Whyte moves to prop with Siua Wong named to start in the back row.
Supercoach Analysis
The Eels have a reasonable run home, however their performance against South Sydney last week was abysmal. Lomax is the obvious options, however Josh Addo-Carr (0.4%), Jack Williams (1.7%) and Isaiah Iongi (0.1%) can be considered at low ownership due to their decent strength of schedule.
James Tedesco hit back very strongly last week and showed exactly why is owned by 94% of the top 10%. Watson, Nawaqanitawase and Crichton are all viable, however I love Sam Walker (4.6%) as a buy this week.
Knights vs Broncos – Sunday 2.00PM at McDonald Jones Stadium
Knights
Phoenix Crossland returns from concussion at hooker, which moves Jayden Brailey to the bench.
Broncos
Jack Gosiewski is replaced by Jaiyden Hunt. Jesse Arthars has been named on the bench.
Supercoach Analysis
I have some interest in Best (1.6%), Marzhew (1.8%) & Kai Pearce-Paul (1.2%), however there are a lot of good options at CTW & 2RF so it will depend on individual team makeup.
Walsh posted a mammoth score after suggesting him as a POD option last week. At 14% ownership and with the security of kicking goals, he is a great option for the run home.
Wests Tigers vs Cowboys – Sunday 4.05PM at Leichhardt Oval
Wests Tigers
Tigers are 1-17.
Cowboys
Cowboys are 1-17.
Supercoach Analysis
Terrell May (99.4%) continues to be the standout asset at the Wests Tigers. After mentioning Adam Doueihi (9.5%) as a POD option last week, he scored 111 and now has more favourable matchups to come.
Scott Drinkwater (82.5%) and Tom Dearden (7.6%) are the targets at the Cowboys.
