NRL SuperCoach: Buy, Hold, Sell: Round 22

WINNERS

* Tyrone Peachey - Again named at fullback despite the axing of Penrith coach Anthony Griffin. Scored 112 in the position last week and has averaged 85.5 since moving there a fortnight ago. Peachey has a dream match-up against Gold Coast, who concede the most SuperCoach points to fullbacks.

* Nathan Cleary - The most purchased player this week. As for Peachey, Cleary has a dream match-up against the Titans, who also concede the most SuperCoach points to halfbacks.

* Valentine Holmes - One of the hottest players in SuperCoach after doubling his ownership to 16 per cent in the space of a month, averaging 78 in that time. He has now picked up the goalkicking duties, which added an extra 22 points to his score last week.

* Cameron Smith - The hooking GOAT has been named for the Storm after being cleared of a serious foot/achilles injury. But at 50 per cent ownership (second most popular player in the game), SuperCoaches have a serious POD chance given Smith has three and five game averages of just 48.7 and 62.4. Worryingly, Smith has made just seven runs in his last five games.

* Andrew Fifita - Named for the Sharks but must pass concussion protocol. He has the advantage of a long turnaround.

LOSERS

* Tevita Pangai Jnr – Named in reserves for the Broncos due to ongoing injuries.

* Jamayne Isaako - The star cheapie and NRL rookie of the year contender switches back to the wing for the Broncos, despite two strong games at fullback.

* Adam Doueihi - The early-season cheapie is out for the season with an ACL injury.
