NRL SuperCoach Last Word - Rd 14

NISSAN SuperCoaches are focused on next week's bye and those  who field a full squad in round 15 will shoot up the rankings - here's who you need.

NISSAN SuperCoaches are focused on next week's tough bye.

SuperCoaches who field a full squad in round 15 will shoot up the rankings given Origin players are out and half the teams are on the break. The men to get you there are:

BENJI Marshall: The Tigers superstar has never been this cheap in the history of SuperCoach. His form has been horrible, with injury a factor. But given his SuperCoach history, Marshall's average won't stay in the 40s for long;

SHAUN Fensom: Not quite the powerhouse he once was under the old work-oriented points system, but still a very solid SuperCoach performer. The 14th best player in SuperCoach this year. Plays round 15, but not 18;

WILL Chambers: Quality bye period purchases in the backs are few and far between. But Chambers is a proven performer in the best attacking side in the competition. He is also one of the few decent backline buys to play both round 15 and 18. Star cheapie Tohu Harris is a hold for the exact same reason;

TONY Williams: Has been poor this year but, like Benji, surely the only way is up. At a bargain price and another backline buy to play both rounds 15 and 18;

AARON Woods: An Origin contender since James Tamou's drink drive suspension. But if Woods misses selection, the Tigers prop will offer great coverage for round 15;

JAMES Graham, Aiden Tolman, Ben Barba: Most SuperCoaches would have at least two of these players. But if you don't, Canterbury has the best bye schedule.

ALTHOUGH round 15 is the primary concern right now, SuperCoaches should also be looking ahead to round 18, which is set to be the toughest bye round of the year.

Round 18 will separate the men from the boys because most of the top NRL players are unavailable this week.

Buys to get you through round 18 include: James Segeyaro, Josh Mansour, Chris Heighington, Michael Gordon, Brenton Lawrence, Jamie Lyon and Glenn Stewart.
