A MILFORD masterclass, Peachey’s hat-trick and an earthquake shakes Mansour back to form. It’s all in Dave Von Kotze’s SuperCoach wrap.

Tyrone Peachey (102) — didn’t let Semi Radradra take all the lime light scoring a hat-trick of his own to take Perfect Eight honours. Peachey’s haul included 2 line breaks, 3 tackle busts and an effective offload.

Matthew Moylan (77) — struck up a lovely combination with Tyrone Peachey setting up two of his tries with line break assists. Moylan only ran seven times but was dangerous with the ball breaking the line once as well as bringing in 12 points from effective offloads to post his highest score of the year.

Shaun Johnson (73) — set up a try with his trademark footwork and threw the last pass under

pressure for another try. SJ also had a good day with the boot bringing in 24 points from goal kicks and forced drop outs.

James Fisher-Harris (80) — firming as one of the forward cheapies of the year after setting up a try with a line break assist, making 2 effective offloads, 12 hit ups and 34 tackles. JFH blew his

break-even out of the water by 111 points and will send his price heading $57,000 in the right

direction.

Josh Mansour (60) — the 4.7 magnitude earthquake that the Panthers boys experienced through the week shook Mansour back into the form that has made him such a popular choice in the CTW over the past few years. Mansour set up a try after breaking the line, offloaded on three occasions for 10 points and made 13 runs but his recent poor form will see him still loss $12,000.

Cameron Smith (95) — another brilliant captain’s knock from Smith who will also break the $500,000 barrier next round after beating his break-even by 89 points. Smith will come with an expensive price tag of over $520,000 after setting up a try with a line break assist, kicking 4 goals and making an incredible 56 tackles.

Cameron Smith gives a thumbs up after kicking the winning field goal against Cowboys.

Michael Morgan (76) — sliced through for a try with a line break to make it five tries in his last four games. Morgan is not currently an option with Origin selection virtually guaranteed but he is currently one of the form SuperCoach halves in the competition averaging 86 in his last four games.

Tohu Harris (89) — whether at centre or second row Harris just can’t stop scoring points. Harris found the try line yet again after breaking the line to give his score a significant bump and he now sits with a six game average of 81, making him one of the prime trade-in targets come round 13.

Anthony Milford (138) — will hold his spot as the highest scoring player in SuperCoach after matching his break-even of 138 as he put on a clinic at Suncorp Stadium against the Sea Eagles. Magnificent Milford crossed for two tries, threw the last pass for another two, made seven tackle busts, four effective offloads, a line break assist and put the cherry on top with an extra thirty points coming from line breaks.

Ben Hunt (58) — set himself up for a massive score in the first half but failed to go on with it in the second half. Hunt’s combination with Milford was at its dangerous best as he set up a try with a line break assist, broke 5 tackles and threw in an effective offload for good measure. Hunt has been credited with a line break but may possibly be credited with a second when final updates roll in on Monday afternoon.

Corey Oates (61) — was in line for another average performance before scoring a try with a line break in the last quarter of the game. Those SuperCoaches who traded out Oates this week have avoided a $26,000 price drop with the Broncos winger missing his triple-figured break-even by 51 points.

Bryce Cartwright (49) — played the full game but wasn’t able to re-create the attacking potency that has seen him average 74 in his last five games. Not even the ‘Carty Party’ can rage every week.

James Segeyaro (23) — played 33 minutes and received an early shower after copping a head knock. Segeyaro is dropping in price at a rapid rate and will be available for $357,000 next round after falling 88 points short of his break-even.

James Segeyaro didn’t see out the match after a head knock.

Johnathan Thurston (45) — a quieter night for the SuperCoach weapon that is JT. He got off to a flyer and was sitting on 16 points after four minutes but all the attacking points went to halves partner Michael Morgan.

Cameron Munster (47) — was well defended by the Cowboys and strangled of the usual attacking stats that have put him on SuperCoaches’ most wanted list. Munster owners can take pleasure in the fact that he had virtually no attacking stats yet still nearly scored 50.

Suliasi Vunivalu (25) — will make another $34,000 for his owners despite only making minimal impact on the game.

Jake Trbojevic (44) — only the 56 minutes for the Sea Eagles lock who has played the full-eighty on more than a few occasions this season. Could possibly still be hampered by the injury that kept him out of the representative round.

Brenton Lawrence (43) — has done his job as a slow burning cash earner and will be moved on by owners over the next fortnight. Lawrence scored at over a point per minute and will make another $16,000 if he holds on to his current score.

Corey Parker (43) — it appeared as if God rested on the sixth day during round ten with Parker

scoring his lowest score of the year by 15 points. He still played his usual 57 minutes but gave up the goal kicking duties to Jordan Kahu which impacted upon his score dramatically.

Jai Arrow (18) — played 22 minutes and showed a few promising signs, however, he will not be an option unless he sees longer game time.
