NRL Round 10: Team talk and KFC SuperCoach NRL trade tips

There are a host of team changes for Round 10 and the most popular cheapie of the week has been named to start, but another has missed out. See full team news.

Good afternoon and welcome to our regular Team List Tuesday KFC SuperCoach NRL trade chat.

Some big calls to be made this week and in an attempt to pre-empt duplicate questions on hot topics I’ll try to dot point some major issues below:

Do I trade Ryan Papenhuyzen? I’m leaning to yes. The unofficial timeline is 2-4 weeks. After the game Paps said he had torn the hamstring, that he had jarred the knee and was dealing with long-term ankle problems. All that combined suggests we’re more at the four weekend of the spectrum and that’s a sell for me.

If I trade Papenhuyzen who do I get? If you don’t have Nicho Hynes then he’s the top pick. If you do then I’m leaning to Tommy Turbo over Teddy and Drinkwater. Tommy had a lazy 20 runs on his comeback game looking dangerous in most of them. The Tigers did well to limit him to 78 points. The price is still a little high and the draw is not ideal (Broncos, Eels, Storm then Origin) but if you are selling an upside gun like paps I think you need to replace with an upside gun and Turbo is that.

Any left field options? It’s not a complete POD pick (he’s currently the sixth most bought player) but Reuben Garrick goes well when Tommy plays well and at $650K he’s a cut price way into Turbo.

Do I sell Siosifa Talakai? I’d prefer not to, but in my case I am very tempted. My decision point is whether I sell Cook or Talakai to get in Grant (who I rate as a must). At this stage I feel Talakai is peak price and Cook is more reliable and will likely score more points over the course of the season so am leaning to selling Sifa.

How about Tago? I still want to hold Tago even with a tough draw of Storm, Roosters, Cowboys (I can’t believe I added Cowboys in the tough draw either but you can’t deny form) but appreciate that a 5RA of 43PPG is losing him fans fast.

Ben Trbojevic has been named to start at centre for Manly in Round 10, and is set for a significant price rise. Picture: Getty Images.

And lastly, what about Burbo? This one I’m not 100% on – but I’m close. Trbo Jr Jr, or Burbo as he is known, was good and Ok last week scoring two tries (good) but just 35 in base (Ok) when playing second row. Another positive (for Burbo) was the Early Mail news that Josh Schuster’s calf injury is not healing as fast as expected opening the door for Burbo to get at least one and maybe two more starts at second row. And of course, Burbo was selected ahead of Morgan harper last week anyway so there’s the prospect that when Schuster does return Burbo moves to centre. Lots of positives, to which you can add a BE of -51 and a projected $100K increase over the next two weeks with scores of just 30 points. AND he covers the Rd 13 bye. Lots of positives, the only negative is that to get him I need to use a boost, but if I need more Tommy Sangster has a special code you can enter for five extra boosts so I’ll just hit him up for that.
