Team List Tuesday - Analysis Round 17

Penrith Panthers v South Sydney Rabbitohs
Pepper Stadium - Friday 7:45pm

1. Dallin Watene Zelezniak 2. Josh Mansour 3. Dean Whare 4. Waqa Blake 5. David Simmons 6. Jamie Soward 7. Peter Wallace 8. Regan Campbell-Gillard 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. Nigel Plum 11. Isaah Yeo 12. Bryce Cartwright 13. Elijah Taylor
Interchange: 14. Lewis Brown 15. Jeremy Latimore 16. Sam McKendry 17. Tyrone Peachey 23. Sika Manu

Changes from Last Round
In - Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - Penrith have made no changes to the side that comprehensively dismantled the Tigers on Sunday. The Panthers are one of the few sides that are unaffected by Origin and will be looking to make it two in a row against the Rabbitohs.

Supercoach Studs - Josh Mansour (89) came back from injury with a bang and will be a popular trade target this week as he is a keeper until the end. Api Koroisau (65) was very strong and is a great replacement for those who are still holding James Segeyaro, who is still another month away from returning. Dave Simmons (155) scored an amazing 4 tries, however won't maintain the high scores. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (101) is a decent point of difference with Matt Moylan not due back until Round 24 at best.

Supercoach Duds - Bryce Cartwright (36) didn't get the time nor the score many expected but is a certain hold due to numbers this week. Jamie Soward (10) is not worth considering when you take into account the quality halves going around at the moment.


1. Alex Johnston 2. Joel Reddy 3. Dylan Walker 4. Bryson Goodwin 5. Aaron Gray 6. Luke Keary 7. Adam Reynolds 8. George Burgess 9. Issac Luke 10. Tim Grant 11. Glenn Stewart 12. John Sutton 13. Chris McQueen
Interchange: 14. Ben Lowe 15. Chris Grevsmuhl 16. David Tyrrell 17. Thomas Burgess 18. Jason Clark 19. Cameron McInnes 20. Daryl Millard

Changes from Last Round
In -Reddy, Clark, McInnes, Millard Out - Inglis

Analysis - The defending premiers lose their captain Greg Inglis to Origin, which sees Alex Johnson return to fullback, with veteran Joel Reddy coming onto the wing. Glenn Stewart moves to the second row with Chris McQueen to start at lock.

Supercoach Studs - George Burgess (76) has hit some form and with limited numbers is a decent VC choice this week. Aaron Grey (107) rewarded loyal owners with a huge score and is due to rise in price over the next few weeks. John Sutton (67) is a great point of difference for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Adam Reynolds (18) was again in the wars but will plummet in price and will be a bargain buy come Round 19. He was averaging 74 before his knee injury on Good Friday. Issac Luke (42) couldn't kick the side of a barn on Friday and has been disappointing for owners. Dylan Walker (44) is on the chopping block this week as patience is starting to wear thin.


St. George Illawarra Dragons v North Queensland Cowboys
WIN Stadium - Saturday 7:30pm

1. Jason Nightingale 2. Yaw Kiti Glymin 3. Euan Aitken 4. Peter Mata'utia 5. Eto Nabuli 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Benji Marshall 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Ben Creagh 11. Will Matthews 12. Jake Marketo 13. Mike Cooper
Interchange: 14. Nathan Green 15. George Rose 16. Rory O'Brien 17. Heath L'Estrange 18. Craig Garvey

Changes from Last Round
In - Glymin, Green, Rein, Rose, O'Brien Out - Dugan, Farrell, Thompson, Frizell, Merrin

Analysis - A host of changes for the Dragons. Josh Dugan and Trent Merrin are away with NSW, while Dylan Farrell, Joel Thompson and Tyson Frizell are all injured. This sees youngster Kiti Glymin handed his debut, with Jake Marketo and Will Matthews to start in the second row. This match will really test the Dragons depth as they look to snap a 3 game losing streak.

Supercoach Studs - Euan Aitken (90) played the best game of his career against the Eels and has now got at least 2 weeks of price rises to come. Mike Cooper (62) continued his consistent scores and is worth considering this week. Trent Merrin (72) received increased minutes due to the injuries to Thompson and Frizell.

Supercoach Duds - Tyson Frizell (40) was a popular buy last week but is out this week. Gareth Widdop (36) had a quiet this week and has a huge break even of 125.


1. Lachlan Coote 2. Matthew Wright 3. Justin O'Neill 4. Kane Linnett 5. Antonio Winterstein 6. Ray Thompson 7. Robert Lui 8. Ben Hannant 9. Jake Granville 10. Sam Hoare 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Ethan Lowe 13. Jason Taumalolo
Interchange: 14. Rory Kostjasyn 15. John Asiata 16. Scott Bolton 17. Patrick Kaufusi 18. Glenn Hall 20. Ben Spina

Changes from Last Round
In -Thompson, Lui, Bolton, Hall, Spina (extended bench) Out - Thurston, Morgan, King, Tamou, Scott

Analysis - The Cowboys winning streak came to an end last weekend against the Sharks. North Queensland will be without their Queensland Origin quartet for their trip to Wollongong, severely testing their depth.

Supercoach Studs - Jake Granville (64) has been an outstanding buy for the Cowboys in 2015. Kane Linnett (58) was a strong performer in a beaten side.

Supercoach Duds - Lachlan Coote (35) is a hold this week and can be upgraded next week if at five-eighth, maybe even a keeper in the fullback position for the run home.


Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
Brookvale Oval - Sunday 4:00pm

1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Peta Hiku 4. Steve Matai 5. Tom Trbojevic 6. Kieran Foran 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Jake Trbojevic 9. Matt Ballin 10. Luke Burgess 11. Feleti Mateo 12. Tom Symonds 13. Dunamis Lui
Interchange: 14. James Hasson 15. Ligi Sao 16. Justin Horo 17. Willie Mason 22. Josh Starling

Changes from Last Round
In - Mason Out - Nil

Analysis - Manly would have been disappointed with their second half performance against the Rabbitohs and will be looking to bounce back at home against bitter rivals Cronulla. The Sea Eagles welcome back the experienced Willie Mason to their front row rotation in their only change.

Supercoach Studs - Daly Cherry-Evans (56) was a surprising omission from the Queensland side and is a superb option this week. Feleti Mateo (85) again racked up a big score and is due for another price rise this week. Popular cheapie Blake Leary is still another week away.

Supercoach Duds - Tom Trbojevic (17) had a quiet game and with Jamie Lyon expected to return next week, owners will be hoping he can find the line. Brett Stewart (16) returns to Brookvale this week.


1. Michael Gordon 2. Sosaia Feki 3. Gerard Beale 4. Ricky Leutele 5. Valentine Holmes 6. Jack Bird 7. Jeff Robson 8. Andrew Fifita 9. Michael Ennis 10. Matt Prior 11. Luke Lewis 12. Wade Graham 13. Chris Heighington
Interchange: 14. Jayson Bukuya 15. Ben Barba 16. David Fifita 17. Sam Tagataese

Changes from Last Round
In -Nil Out - Nil

Analysis - The Sharks remain unchanged from their win over the Cowboys and will be celebrating Wade Graham's 100th game for the club. The Sharks have found form in the past fortnight and will be looking to make it 3 in a row against the Sea Eagles.

Supercoach Studs - Jack Bird (49) continues to make money and is a valuable dual position player. Andrew Fifita (91) is a logical captain choice this weekend and looks to be getting his confidence back. Luke Lewis (61) has been outstanding of late and is a good point of difference, however he is injury prone.

Supercoach Duds - Valentine Holmes (18) is up and down due to having move from wing to fullback back to wing to accommodate super sub Ben Barba (29).


Wests Tigers v Parramatta Eels
ANZ Stadium - Monday 7:00pm

1. James Tedesco 2. Kevin Naiqama 3. Delouise Hoeter 4. Nathan Milone 5. Pat Richards 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Luke Brooks 8. Sauaso Sue 9. Dene Halatau 10. Keith Galloway 11. Kyle Lovett 12. Chris Lawrence 13. Martin Taupau
Interchange: 14. Manaia Cherrington 15. Ava Seumanufagai 16. Matthew Lodge 17. Brenden Santi 18. Jack Buchanan

Changes from Last Round
In -Halatau, Cherrington, Milone Out - Farah, Simona, Woods

Analysis - The Tigers were awful against the Panthers and will be looking to make amends against Parramatta. The Tigers do lose captain Robbie Farah and Aaron Woods to Origin duty and Tim Simona is again out injured.

Supercoach Studs - Martin Taupau (61) has been a great buy since moving into the #13 and looks set to stay there.

Supercoach Duds - Tim Simona (13) needs to be sold this week and has been a disaster for those who were looking for bye coverage. Robbie Farah (46) seems to have lost his attacking flair this season.


1. Corey Norman 2. Semi Radradra 3. Ryan Morgan 4. Brad Takairangi 5. Bureta Faraimo 6. Luke Kelly 7. Chris Sandow 8. Junior Paulo 9. Cody Nelson 10. Tim Mannah 11. Manu Ma'u 12. Tepai Moeroa 13. Anthony Watmough
Interchange: 14. Pauli Pauli 15. Darcy Lussick 16. Danny Wicks 17. David Gower 18. Joseph Paulo

Changes from Last Round
In - Faraimo, Ma'u Out - Hopoate

Analysis - Parramatta picked up a morale boosting victory against the Dragons on Saturday night and confidence will be high on their way to ANZ Stadium for this local derby. Will Hopoate is out due to Origin which sees Ryan Morgan move to centre and USA Tomahawk, Bureta Faraimo takes his place on the wing.

Supercoach Studs - Semi Radradra (119) is out of control and if you have him, you may have a shrine built in the back shed. Semi's ship has sailed however as he is a way too expensive to get at this stage. Cody Nelson (63) is getting big minutes and great points but is not available as a hooker.

Supercoach Duds - Chris Sandow (28) is most likely due for a big score or 8.
