COWBOYS v PANTHERS

Thursday, March 27, 1300 Smiles Stadium, 8:05pm

Cowboys: 1 Ben Hampton, 2 Kyle Feldt, 3 Justin O’Neill, 4 Javid Bowen, 5 Antonio Winterstein, 6 Michael Morgan, 7 Johnathan Thurston (c), 8 Matthew Scott (c), 9 Jake Granville, 10 Jordan McLean, 11 Gavin Cooper, 12 Coen Hess, 13 Jason Taumalolo

Interchange: 14 Te Maire Martin, 15 John Asiata, 16 Scott Bolton, 17 Ethan Lowe

Reserves: 18 Corey Jensen 19 Lachlan Coote, 20 Francis Molo, 21 Enari Tuala

SuperCoach analysis: No changes. Lachlan Coote (hamstring) is named in the reserves which could call time on Ben Hampton’s run at fullback. Coen Hess has again been named to start ahead of Ethan Lowe in the back-row.

Panthers: 1 Dylan Edwards, 2 Josh Mansour, 3 Waqa Blake, 4 Dean Whare, 5 Christian Crichton, 6 Tyrone Peachey, 7 James Maloney, 8 James Tamou, 9 Peter Wallace (c), 10 Reagan Campbell-Gillard, 11 Viliame Kikau, 12 Isaah Yeo, 13 Trent Merrin

Interchange: 14 Jarome Luai, 15 Corey Harawira-Naera, 16 Moses Leota, 17 James Fisher-Harris

Reserve: 18 Wayde Egan, 19 Nick Lui-Toso, 20 Liam Martin, 21 Kaide Ellis

SuperCoach analysis: Tyrone Peachey moves into the halves for Nathan Cleary (knee, round 13). However, coach Anthony Griffin has kept his options open by naming young half Jarome Luai (bench) and hooking sensation Wayde Egan (extended bench). James Tamou and Viliame Kikau have again been named to start after coming off the interchange last week.

PODCAST!!! Carnage has hit SuperCoach and trades are a must this week. Tom Sangster and Nick Campton reveal the best targets.

RABBITOHS vs BULLDOGS

Friday, March 30, ANZ Stadium, 4:10pm

Rabbitohs: 1 Alex Johnston, 2 Richie Kennar, 3 Greg Inglis (c), 4 Dane Gagai, 5 Robert Jennings, 6 Cody Walker, 7 Adam Doueihi, 8 Thomas Burgess, 9 Damien Cook, 10 Sam Burgess, 11 John Sutton, 12 Angus Crichton, 13 Cameron Murray

Interchange: 14 Hymel Hunt, 15 Mark Nicholls, 16 George Burgess, 17 Tevita Tatola

Reserves: 18 Robbie Farah, 19 Jason Clark, 20 Braidon Burns, 21 Kyle Turner

SuperCoach analysis: No changes following the big win over Manly. Adam Doueihi retains his spot and is the most popular cheapie of the week, with Adam Reynolds (knee) at least a week away.

Bulldogs: 1 Moses Mbye, 2 Brett Morris, 3 Josh Morris, 4 Will Hopoate, 5 Marcelo Montoya, 6 Jeremy Marshall-King, 7 Kieran Foran, 8 Aaron Woods, 9 Michael Lichaa, 10 David Klemmer, 11 Joshua Jackson (c), 12 Raymond Faitala-Mariner, 13 Aiden Tolman

Interchange: 14 Adam Elliott, 15 Danny Fualalo, 16 Francis Tualalo, 17 Fa’amanu Brown

Reserves: 19 Renouf Toomaga, 20 Kerrod Holland, 21 Asipeli Fine, 23 John Olive

SuperCoach analysis: No changes. Jeremy Marshall-King retains his five-eighth spot following last week’s win and he will therefore remain the most popular trade for Connor Watson (shoulder, 12 weeks).

SHARKS vs STORM

Friday, March 30, Southern Cross Group Stadium, 8:05pm

Sharks: 1 Josh Dugan, 2 Sosaia Feki, 3 Jesse Ramien, 4 Ricky Leutele, 5 Valentine Holmes, 6 Matt Moylan, 7 Chad Townsend, 8 Andrew Fifita, 9 Jayden Brailey, 10 Matt Prior, 11 Luke Lewis, 12 Wade Graham (c), 13 Paul Gallen (c)

Reserves: 18 Kurt Dillon, 19 Trent Hodkinson, 20 Edrick Lee, 21 Braden Uele

SuperCoach analysis: Matt Moylan (hamstring) returns at five-eighth, bumping Trent Hodkinson to the extended bench. Luke Lewis (foot) replaces Jayson Bukuya (groin) in the back row.

Storm: 1 Billy Slater, 2 Suliasi Vunivalu, 3 Will Chambers, 4 Curtis Scott, 5 Josh Addo-Carr, 6 Cameron Munster, 7 Brodie Croft, 8 Jesse Bromwich, 9 Cameron Smith (c), 10 Nelson Asofa-Solomona, 11 Joe Stimson, 12 Ryan Hoffman, 13 Dale Finucane

Reserves: 18 Young Tonumaipea, 19 Patrick Kaufusi, 20 Ryley Jacks, 21 Brandon Smith

SuperCoach analysis: Kenny Bromwich returns via the bench in place of Brandon Smith. Good news for Cameron Smith who is far less likely to be rested late in the game if there’s a blowout. Joe Stimson remains in the run on side with Felise Kaufusi (hamstring) still out.

ROOSTERS vs WARRIORS

Saturday, March 31, Allianz Stadium, 5:30pm

Reserves: 18 Mason Lino, 20 Anthony Gelling, 21 Albert Vete, 22 Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad

SuperCoach analysis: Coach Stephen Kearney has reshuffled his pack with veteran Adam Blair moving to lock and Agnatius Paasi to play prop. Sam Lisone (suspension) is replaced on the bench by Chris Satae, who is in line to play his first NRL match of the season and fourth of his career. Prop Albert Vete has been added to the extended bench, while Simon Mannering (shoulder) will need to wait at least another round. “Simon’s getting closer but remains a week-by-week proposition,” said Kearney.

SEA EAGLES vs RAIDERS

Saturday, March 31, Lottoland, 7:35pm

Sea Eagles: 1 Tom Trbojevic, 2 Matthew Wright, 3 Brad Parker, 4 Brian Kelly, 5 Akuila Uate, 6 Lachlan Croker, 7 Daly Cherry-Evans (c), 8 Addin Fonua-Blake, 9 Apisai Koroisau, 10 Martin Taupau, 11 Joel Thompson, 12 Curtis Sironen, 13 Jake Trbojevic

Interchange: 14 Ata Hingano, 15 Junior Paulo, 16 Dunamis Lui, 17 Joseph Tapine

Reserves: 18 Liam Knight, 19 Blake Austin, 20 Michael Oldfield, 21 Jack Murchie

SuperCoach analysis: Former Dally M five-eighth of the year Blake Austin has been dumped to reserve grade following a number of crucial defensive lapses this year. Sam Williams and Aidan Sezer will again start in the halves, with Warriors recruit Ata Hingano to play off the bench. Joe Tapine returns on the bench but expect him to start in the back-row on gameday with Luke Bateman dropping to the bench.

Sunday, April 1, WIN Stadium, 4:10pm

Dragons: 1 Matthew Dufty, 2 Nene Macdonald, 3 Euan Aitken, 4 Tim Lafai, 5 Jason Nightingale, 6 Gareth Widdop (c), 7 Ben Hunt, 8 James Graham, 9 Cameron McInnes, 10 Paul Vaughan, 11 Tyson Frizell, 12 Tariq Sims, 13 Jack De Belin

SuperCoach analysis: The popular Connor Watson is out long-term and will be replaced in the halves by future mid-range option Brock Lamb (BE 91).

BRONCOS vs TITANS

Sunday, April 1, Suncorp Stadium, 6:30pm

Broncos: 1 Darius Boyd (c), 2 Jonus Pearson, 3 James Roberts, 4 Jack Bird, 5 Jamayne Isaako, 6 Anthony Milford, 7 Kodi Nikorima, 8 Matthew Lodge, 9 Andrew McCullough, 10 Korbin Sims, 11 Alex Glenn, 12 Matt Gillett, 13 Josh McGuire

Interchange: 14 Sam Thaiday, 15 Joe Ofahengaue, 16 Tom Opacic, 17 Jaydn Su’A.

Reserves: 18 Todd Murphy, 19 Sam Tagataese, 20 Gehamat Shibasaki, 21 Patrick Mogo

SuperCoach analysis: In a huge blow for teams popular mid-ranger Tevita Pangai Jnr is out with a hamstring injury that is likely to sideline him for 1-2 weeks. Corey Oates (hip) is also out with the pair to be replaced in the starting team by Jonus Pearson and Korbin Sims, while Jaydn Su’A joins the bench.

Titans: 1 Michael Gordon, 2 Anthony Don, 3 Dale Copley, 4 Konrad Hurrell, 5 Phillip Sami, 6 Kane Elgey, 7 Ashley Taylor, 8 Jarrod Wallace, 9 Nathan Peats, 10 Ryan James (c), 11 Kevin Proctor, 12 Will Matthews 13 Jai Arrow

Interchange: 14 Mitch Rein, 15 Max King, 16 Bryce Cartwright, 17 Leilani Latu

Reserves: 18 Morgan Boyle, 19 Ryan Simpkins, 20 AJ Brimson, 21 Tyronne Roberts-Davis

SuperCoach analysis: Our worst fears have been confirmed with Bryce Cartwright dropping to the bench following his poor form to start the season. Jai Arrow starts at lock while Will Matthews is named to start in the back-row. Ryan James looms as a hold after being named to return to the front-row where he has historically scored far better in SuperCoach. Keegan Hipgrave is suspended for one match, replaced on the bench by Max King, while Morgan Boyle drops out of the 17.

TIGERS vs EELS

Monday, April 2, ANZ Stadium, 4:00pm

Tigers: 1 Corey Thompson, 2 David Nofoaluma, 3 Esan Marsters, 4 Kevin Naiqama, 5 Malakai Watene-Zelezniak, 6 Benji Marshall (c), 7 Luke Brooks, 8 Russell Packer, 9 Pita Godinet, 10 Ben Matulino, 11 Chris Lawrence, 12 Robbie Rochow, 13 Matthew Eisenhuth

Interchange: 14 Matt McIlwrick, 15 Alex Twal, 16 Michael Chee Kam, 17 Josh Aloiai

Reserves: 18 Tyson Gamble, 19 Tim Grant, 20 Jacob Liddle, 21 Tuimoala Lolohea

SuperCoach analysis: Same 17. Talented hooker Jacob Liddle (shoulder) has been named on the extended bench as he aims to return from injury.

Eels: 1 Will Smith, 2 George Jennings, 3 Michael Jennings, 4 Kirisome Auva’a, 5 Josh Hoffman 6 Corey Norman, 7 Mitchell Moses, 8 Daniel Alvaro, 9 Kaysa Pritchard, 10 Tim Mannah (c), 11 Manu Ma’u, 12 Tepai Moeroa, 13 Nathan Brown

Interchange: 14 Beau Scott, 15 Kenny Edwards, 16 Peni Terepo, 17 Tony Williams

Reserves: 18 Cameron King, 19 Suaia Matagi, 20 David Gower, 21 Marata Niukore

SuperCoach analysis: Mass changes following three straight losses. Bevan French (shoulder) and Jarryd Hayne (hip) are replaced in the backline by Will Smith and George Jennings, with Kirisome Auva’a to play centre. Kaysa Pritchard, Peni Terepo and Tony Williams replace Cameron King, Suaia Matagi and Kane Evans (ribs) in the 17.

Nathan Cleary is out for 10 weeks, Connor Watson will miss 12 weeks, Gareth Widdop is the most purchased player this round and Bryce Cartwright is set to be benched.
