Brisbane Broncos v Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
Suncorp Stadium - Friday 7:45pm

1. Darius Boyd 2. Lachlan Maranta 3. Jack Reed 4. Justin Hodges 5. Jordan Kahu 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Sam Thaiday 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Jarrod Wallace 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Jo Ofanhengaue 15. Mitchell Dodds 16. Corey Oates 17. Kodi Nikorima 18. Dale Copley

In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - The Broncos 8 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the resurgent Manly side last weekend. Wayne Bennett has not panicked, picking the same 17 for their blockbuster against Canterbury. Brisbane will be eager to hold on to no.1 spot on the ladder and will be favoured to hit back at Suncorp Stadium.

Supercoach Studs - An unhappy night for the Broncos, however you can always rely on Corey Parker (64) who looms as a sensible captain choice. Justin Hodges (68) was strong but he is a week to week proposition with his injury history.

Supercoach Duds - Ben Hunt (27) and Anthony Milford (36) had quiet games and the draw does get tough for them on the run home. Matt Gillett (44) and Andrew McCullough (31) should get through plenty of work against the big Bulldogs pack.

1. Brett Morris 2. Curtis Rona 3. Josh Morris 4. Timoteo Lafai 5. Sam Perrett 6. Moses Mbye 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. Aiden Tolman 9. Michael Lichaa 10. James Graham 11. Josh Jackson 12. Frank Pritchard 13. Greg Eastwood
Interchange: 14. Sam Kasiano 15. Shaun Lane 16. David Klemmer 17. Tim Browne 19. Lloyd Perrett 20. Corey Thompson 22. Danny Fualalo

In - Tolman, Pritchard, Rona
Out - Nil

Analysis - Canterbury were left heartbroken after last week's stunning comeback against the Roosters and desperately need to 2 points from this game. Some big inclusions for the Bulldogs with Aiden Tolman, Frank Pritchard and Curtis Rona which will boost confidence considering how far they pushed the Roosters without them. Greg Eastwood is fighting his high tackle charge at the judiciary in order to suit up against his former club.

Supercoach Studs - Moses Mbye (86) was outstanding against the Roosters and will again be a key figure in this match. Josh Morris (67) has averaged in the mid 60's in the last 5 rounds. Brother Brett Morris (56) bounced back after a horror score against Cronulla. Josh Jackson (59) is a great replacement for Iosia Soliola as he links your centres and backrow and generally plays 80 minutes.

Supercoach Duds - Tim Lafai (17) is not the keeper he was 12 months ago. Sam Perrett (12) will be keen to forget about last week, the normally mistake free winger had a shocker.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles v South Sydney Rabbitohs
Brookvale Oval - Friday 7:45pm

1. Brett Stewart 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Jamie Lyon 4. Steve Matai 5. Peta Hiku 6. Kieran Foran 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Jake Trbojevic 9. Matt Ballin 10. Willie Mason 11. Feleti Mateo 12. Justin Horo 13. Blake Leary
Interchange: 14. Jesse Sene-Lefao 15. Michael Chee-Kam 16. James Hasson 17. Josh Starling

In - Matai
Out - T Trbojevic

Analysis - Manly are coming! After their convincing win over the ladder leaders, the Sea Eagles now test themselves against the defending premiers. Steve Matai returns for the hugely talented Tom Trbojevic who goes back to the Toyota Cup despite scoring 2 tries last week. If there was under 20's Supercoach you would make him captain this week.

Supercoach Studs - Jamie Lyon (135) was unbelievable for the Eagles and is a point of difference for those willing to back Manly's form. Daly Cherry-Evans (67) also looks determined to get Manly to the finals and is extremely cheap this week.

Supercoach Duds - Tom Trbojevic (65) has been named and can be sold for those desperate for the trade but he is still due for another price rise and is one injury away from a recall.

1. Greg Inglis 2. Alex Johnston 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. Kyle Turner 15. Chris Grevsmuhl 16. David Tyrrell 17. Thomas Burgess 18. Jason Clark

In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - Souths had to fight hard for the 2 points against Penrith and will be well aware of the task ahead of them at Brookvale Oval on a Friday night. Souths have made no changes and will be looking to cement a position in the Top 4. Glenn Stewart returns to Brookvale Oval for the first time.

Supercoach Studs - John Sutton (85) is a tremendous buy and has averaged close to 70 points the last 3 weeks. Dylan Walker (63) has hit red hot form and is a valuable dual position player. George Burgess (70) is a solid replacement for those offloading Andrew Fifita this week.

Supercoach Duds - Greg Inglis (41) had a pretty quiet game compared to past weeks but don't expect it to continue as he leads his team to the finals.

New Zealand Warriors v St. George Illawarra Dragons
Westpac Stadium - Saturday 3:00pm

1. Sam Tomkins 2. Ken Maumalo 3. Jonathan Wright 4. Solomone Kata 5. Manu Vatuvei 6. Chad Townsend 7. Tuimoala Lolohea 8. Jacob Lillyman 9. Nathan Friend 10. Albert Vete 11. Ben Matulino 12. Simon Mannering 13. Sebastine Ikahihifo
Interchange: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Sam Lisone 16. Charlie Gubb 17. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 18. Dominique Peyroux

In - Wright, Peyroux (extended bench)
Out - Hurrell

Analysis - A surprising change to the Warriors 17 with blockbusting centre Konrad Hurrell dropped to NSW Cup and replaced by Jonathan Wright. The Warriors blew a 10 nil lead against the Sharks and really need to turn it around against the Dragons to prove they can win without superstar Shaun Johnson.

Supercoach Studs - Simon Mannering (89) scored his first try of the season and again has been named on the edge as opposed to lock. Manu Vatuvei (54) is a left field choice who gets plenty of tackle busts and can go large.

Supercoach Duds - Ben Matulino (45) was expected to increase his attacking stats and did go close on numerous occasions and is a hold. Solomone Kata (29) needs to be moved on due to the amount of talent in the centres available this week.

1. Josh Dugan 2. Dylan Farrell 3. Euan Aitken 4. Peter Mata'utia 5. Yaw Kiti Glymin 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Benji Marshall 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Ben Creagh 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Joel Thompson 13. Mike Cooper
Interchange: 14. Craig Garvey 15. Trent Merrin 16. Will Matthews 17. Jack de Belin 18. Justin Hunt 19. Jake Marketo 24. Mark Ioane

In - Merrin, Glymin
Out - Nightingale

Analysis - The Dragons finally snapped their 8 game losing streak against the struggling Newcastle at Kogarah and will make the daunting trip across the Tasman with a bit more confidence. Trent Merrin returns from suspension is a big boost to their forward pack. Josh Dugan and Benji Marshall were outstanding last week and will again be the key in this game.

Supercoach Studs - Josh Dugan (91) lead the Dragons attack scoring 2 tries and should be considered for the run home. Gareth Widdop (121) went huge but had a history of low scores in their losing streak.

Supercoach Duds - Mike Cooper (40) has had his minutes cut now the Dragons forward stocks are healthy. Jason Nightingale (15) hasn't had his best season and is out injured this week.

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v North Queensland Cowboys
Remondis Stadium - Saturday 5:30pm

1. Michael Gordon 2. Sosaia Feki 3. Gerard Beale 4. Ricky Leutele 5. Valentine Holmes 6. Jack Bird 7. Jeff Robson 8. Chris Heighington 9. Michael Ennis 10. Sam Tagataese 11. Anthony Tupou 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen
Interchange: 14. Ben Barba 15. Matt Prior 16. Tinirau Arona 17. Jayson Bukuya 18. Junior Roqica

In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - The Sharks have now won 7 of their last 8 and are starting to look like outside chances in the premiership race. Despite missing Andrew Fifita, the Sharks pack stood up against the giant Warriors pack and will relish their chance to take on the highly fancied Cowboys forward pack.

Supercoach Studs - Paul Gallen (82) has been fantastic post Origin and is the sensible captain choice for those expecting the win. Jack Bird (67) registered a strong score after a string of poor scores, as it is in his first season he may lack consistency at the back end. Wade Graham (53) on the other hand has been very consistent.

Supercoach Duds - We should find out about Andrew Fifita's (DNP) fate before lock out this week. Prepare to sell.

1. Lachlan Coote 2. Matthew Wright 3. Justin O'Neill 4. Kane Linnett 5. Antonio Winterstein 6. Michael Morgan 7. Johnathan Thurston 8. Matthew Scott 9. Jake Granville 10. James Tamou 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Ethan Lowe 13. Jason Taumalolo
Interchange: 14. Rory Kostjasyn 15. John Asiata 16. Scott Bolton 17. Ben Hannant 18. Sam Hoare

In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - The Cowboys received a scare against the Raiders on Saturday night, but in the end they clicked into gear and powered away. North Queensland travel to Shark Park but their form in Sydney has been fantastic compared to previous years.

Supercoach Studs - Jonathan Thurston (112) was again outstanding and has surely now wrapped up a record fourth Dally M medal. Jake Granville (58) continues to bust out decent scores, likewise Michael Morgan (68) who is a great point of difference.

Supercoach Duds - Ethan Lowe (44) and Lachlan Coote (28) need to be upgraded for the run to the finals next week.

Parramatta Eels v Penrith Panthers
TIO Stadium - Saturday 7:30pm

1. Reece Robinson 2. Semi Radradra 3. William Hopoate 4. Brad Takairangi 5. Ryan Morgan 6. Corey Norman 7. Luke Kelly 8. Junior Paulo 9. Nathan Peats 10. Tim Mannah 11. Manu Ma'u 12. Tepai Moeroa 13. David Gower
Interchange: 14. Pauli Pauli 15. Darcy Lussick 16. Daniel Alvaro 17. Isaac De Gois 18. Joseph Paulo

In - Hopoate, Takairangi, Norman
Out - Faraimo, Toutai

Analysis - Parramatta were horrendous against the Gold Coast and head into the local derby against the Panthers in diabolical form. The Eels do welcome back NSW winger Will Hopoate as well as five eighth Corey Norman and strike centre Brad Takairangi in a timely boost.

Supercoach Studs - Nathan Peats (98) scored a try and was one of the Eels best. Tim Mannah (64) has averaged over 60 points in his past five games.

Supercoach Duds - Semi Radradra (35) had by far his worst game of the season, however with the attacking players, Corey Norman (DNP) AND Brad Takairangi (DNP) returning to the backline he can be forgiven.

1. William Smith 2. Josh Mansour 3. Lewis Brown 4. Isaah Yeo 5. Waqa Blake 6. Isaac John 7. Jamie Soward 8. Sam McKendry 9. James Segeyaro 10. Regan Campbell-Gillard 11. Sika Manu 12. Bryce Cartwright 13. Elijah Taylor
Interchange: 14. Tyrone Peachey 15. Jeremy Latimore 16. Leilani Latu 17. Apisai Koroisau

In - Koroisau
Out - Jennings

Analysis - Penrith have lost Robert Jennings to injury, which sees Waqa Blake move to the wing and Lewis Brown move to the centres. Penrith were solid against the Rabbitohs and should take plenty out of their performance against the hapless Eels this week.

Supercoach Studs - Bryce Cartwright (103) again cracked the century mark this season and looms as a super buy this week as he has been named to start. James Segeyaro (68) is awesome when he plays 80 minutes but Api Koroisau (DNP) has been named on the bench in a blow to owners.

Supercoach Duds - Josh Mansour (38) had a quiet match by his lofty standards and is a definite hold this week.

Melbourne Storm v Gold Coast Titans
AAMI Park - Sunday 2:00pm

1. Cameron Munster 2. Marika Koroibete 3. Will Chambers 4. Tohu Harris 5. Matt Duffie 6. Blake Green 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Cameron Smith 10. Tim Glasby 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Kenneath Bromwich 13. Dale Finucane
Interchange: 14. Ryan Hinchcliffe 15. Mahe Fonua 16. Felise Kaufusi 17. Christian Welch

In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - Melbourne were humiliated by the Wests Tigers and by skipper Cameron Smith's own admission were complacent on Friday night. Craig Bellamy has stuck solid with the same side and will be expected to bounce back at home.

Supercoach Studs - Cooper Cronk (88) was again strong, despite looking to be carrying an injury. Jesse Bromwich (77) scored a try, however again didn't play big minutes which is a concern. Marika Koroibete (72) is explosive and an option for the finals as a point of difference.

Supercoach Duds - Cameron Smith (52) scored lower than James Segeyaro and Issac Luke but will bounce back. Blake Green (27) was also kept quiet against the Tigers.

1. Josh Hoffman 2. David Mead 3. James Roberts 4. Nene Macdonald 5. Kalifa Faifai Loa 6. Aidan Sezer 7. Kane Elgey 8. Luke Douglas 9. Beau Falloon 10. Nate Myles 11. Ryan James 12. Agnatius Paasi 13. Greg Bird
Interchange: 14. Dave Taylor 15. Eddy Pettybourne 16. Matt White 17. Kierran Moseley 18. Lachlan Burr

In - Myles
Out - Nil

Analysis - The Titans head to Melbourne looking to extend their winning run. The Gold Coast welcome back captain Nate Myles who will be a more than welcome addition to their forward pack.

Supercoach Studs - Aidan Sezer (100) was outstanding against Parramatta and will relish the chance to come up against Cooper Cronk and Blake Green. Greg Bird (65) was again solid and is worth keeping an eye on.

Supercoach Duds - James Roberts (42) scored a scintillating try but his base stats are a huge concern.

Newcastle Knights v Sydney Roosters
Hunter Stadium - Sunday 4:00pm

1. Kurt Gidley 2. Jake Mamo 3. Sione Mata'utia 4. Dane Gagai 5. Nathan Ross 6. Carlos Tuimavave 7. Tyrone Roberts 8. Kade Snowden 9. Adam Clydsdale 10. Korbin Sims 11. Beau Scott 12. Tariq Sims 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 14. Tyler Randell 15. David Fa'alogo 16. Chris Houston 17. Clint Newton

In - T Sims, Fa'alogo
Out - Tapine, Fitzgibbon

Analysis - Despite all of last week's turmoil, the Knights couldn't overpower the Dragons at Kogarah. Despite scoring points last week, their defence still looks to be their weakness. They welcome back noted defenders Tariq Sims and David Fa'ologo to the side this week.

Supercoach Studs - Dane Gagai (66) continues to produce great scores in a losing side and is worth persisting with despite the Knights poor form.

Supercoach Duds - Kade Snowden (14) was a very popular buy last week but was knocked senseless by Leeson Ah Mau and didn't return.

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Michael Jennings 4. Blake Ferguson 5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 6. James Maloney 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Jake Friend 10. Dylan Napa 11. Boyd Cordner 12. Mitchell Aubusson 13. Aidan Guerra
Interchange: 14. Jackson Hastings 15. Isaac Liu 16. Kane Evans 17. Siosiua Taukeiaho 18. Suaia Matagi 19. Matt McIlwrick

In - Kenny-Dowall, Liu
Out - Elliot, Moa

Analysis - The Roosters were very fortunate to come away with the victory against Canterbury and were saved by the brilliance of Michael Jennings with minutes remaining. Shaun Kenny-Dowall returns to the side in place of Brendan Elliot, while Isaac Liu replaces Sam Moa, who has been ruled out for 4-6 weeks with a dislocated wrist. Expect Trent Robinson to have given them a kick at training after letting a 22 point lead slip on Friday night.

Supercoach Studs - James Maloney (108) is on fire and is red hot buy in the halves this week. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (91) continues to rack up impressive scores and is vital.

Supercoach Duds - Aidan Guerra (36) has been disappointing since returning from Origin. Jake Friend (45) lacks the attacking prowess of Smith, Segeyaro or Luke.

Canberra Raiders v Wests Tigers
GIO Stadium - Monday 7:00pm

1. Jack Wighton 2. Sisa Waqa 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Blake Austin 7. Sam Williams 8. Frank Paul Nuuausala 9. Glen Buttriss 10. David Shillington 11. Josh Papalii 12. Jarrad Kennedy 13. Shaun Fensom
Interchange: 14. Kurt Baptiste 15. Mitchell Barnett 16. Paul Vaughan 17. Shannon Boyd

In - Waqa, Buttriss, Barnett
Out - Lee, Hodgson, Soliola

Analysis - Canberra looked sensational in the first half against the Cowboys but totally went off the boil in a disappointing second half. In shattering news for the Raiders, Iosia Soliola has been ruled out for the season, while in form hooker Josh Hodgson is expected to miss 2 weeks with an ankle injury. The Raiders must improve their record at home, as their season is on the line on Monday night at a freezing GIO Stadium. Josh Papalii plays game 100 in the lime green.

Supercoach Studs - Jack Wighton (109) was outstanding, particularly in the first half for Canberra, but there are better options at this point in the season. Josh Papalii (67) was again destructive and the Raiders have a great run home.

Supercoach Duds - Iosia Soliola (67) is out for the season but has left $300k in the bank to spend on a replacement. Blake Austin (11) had a shocker but will bounce back against his former club.

1. James Tedesco 2. David Nofoaluma 3. Kevin Naiqama 4. Tim Simona 5. Pat Richards 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Luke Brooks 8. Aaron Woods 9. Robbie Farah 10. Keith Galloway 11. Curtis Sironen 12. Dene Halatau 13. Sauaso Sue
Interchange: 14. Kyle Lovett 15. Jack Buchanan 16. Ava Seumanufagai 17. Brenden Santi 18. Manaia Cherrington

In - Nil
Out - Nil

Analysis - The Wests Tigers head to the nation's capital full of confidence after their best performance of the season against the Melbourne Storm which has lifted them off the bottom of the ladder. James Tedesco returns to Canberra for the first time since he back flipped on a deal to play with the Green Machine.

Supercoach Studs - James Tedesco (134) put on a clinic against the Storm in one of the stand out individual performances of the year. Aaron Woods (65) bounced back to form.

Supercoach Duds - Robbie Farah (44) is not in the top echelon of hookers this season and is not an option.
