KFC SuperCoach NRL 2021: Teams analysis for Round 14

The first bye round is done and dusted, but State of Origin will still have a massive impact this week, with some of the most popular players set to be rested.

KFC SuperCoach NRL: Round 14 Winners & Losers

WINNERS

* Greg Marzhew had to wait years to make his NRL debut and when he finally got his chance he showed why we had been hyping him up. He’s been named to start once again but is still just one to keep an eye on for now

*Tohu Harris, he’s been scoring really well and now that the Round 13 bye round is gone he’s ticking all the boxes. His BE is a bit high so you can afford to wait a week, but you’ll want to get him soon.

*Cody Walker - Really all Souths players are winners with their amazing schedule coming up, with 6 straight matches against teams currently in the Bottom 8 and covering the Round 17 bye.

* Clint Gutherson. While Turbo and Teddy get all the headlines in SC, King Gutho just quietly rolls along with a 84 PPG average and 170 more points than the next best fullback James Tedesco

*Josh Curran - has been named to return after an elbow injury and is a massive inclusion for any SuperCoaches who held him, given he will cover the Round 17 bye.

* CHN - In the past three weeks CHN has averaged 64PPG with a very un-CHN like 45 in pure base. Tohu is the popular buy but getting CHJ this week and Tohu next makes sense if you believe the run will continue.

* Brandon Smith - while Harry’s away the Cheese can play!

LOSERS

*EVERYONE - with Panthers’ Origin players not expected to backup from Origin, everyone is a bit of a loser this week, especially the nearly half of SuperCoaches who own both Nathan Cleary and Brian To’o

*Joseph Suaalii - has not been named to take on the Titans, but still a chance to play if James Tedesco is rested after Origin.

*Tom Trbojevic - was named to backup from Origin, but given his injury history you’d have to think he is given a week off.

*There’s a bunch of Newcastle Knights on the losers list, headlined by Jayden Brailey, Connor Watson & Mitchell Barnett - who are all victims of the Knights poor form and bench rotation. Brailey is probably one you can hold onto, but the others have to go.

*Sticking with Newcastle and Bradman Best - is another loser, especially for all the SuperCoaches who brought him in for the bye round only to watch him stink it up.

and last on the losers is SuperCoach revelation *Isaiah Papali’i - and while he’s still been scoring well his declining minutes are a concern, so definitely keep an eye on him

* Reece Walsh - suspended this week

* David Nofoaluma - is it time to sell?

* Brain Kelly - another bye round CTW who has been very rocks or diamonds

ROUND 14 TEAMS

SEA EAGLES V COWBOYS

Friday 11 June, Lottoland, Sydney, 6:00pm

SEA EAGLES

1. Tom Trbojevic, 2. Jason Saab, 3. Brad Parker, 4. Morgan Harper, 5. Reuben Garrick, 6. Kieran Foran, 7. Daly Cherry-Evans, 8. Taniela Paseka, 9. Lachlan Croker, 10. Martin Taupau, 11. Haumole Olakau’atu, 12. Karl Lawton, 13. Jake Trbojevic

Bench: 14. Dylan Walker, 15. Moses Suli, 16. Ben Trbojevic, 17. Toafofoa Sipley

Reserves: 18. Kurt De Lewis, 19. Cade Cust, 20. Christian Tuipulotu, 21. Jorge Taufua 22. Tolutau Koula

TEAMS COMMENT: Manly have named all of their Origin stars to backup, just 48 hours after Game 1 in Townsville, however there is still a good chance they’re either rested or play reduced minutes, especially for Tom Trbojevic. Still no sign of Josh Schuster, but Dylan Walker has been named to return via the bench. Olakau’atu returns to the starting side for the suspended Sean Keppie, while highly touted youngster Tolutau Koula is named among the reserves.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Tom Trbojevic has been a massive surprise for KFC SuperCoaches in 2021, but it may finally be time to consider selling. With Turbo away on Origin duties, his gametime may be managed over the coming weeks, he wont cover the Round 17 bye and currently has a break-even of 153. He’s made over $300k so now is the time to cash in! If you’ve held Jason Saab and Josh Schuster so far they may be worth holding for the next bye, but be aware that Saab is going to start leaking cash quick with a break-even of 109. Marty Taupau looms as a great POD option going forward, with a 5 Round Average of 74.

COWBOYS

1. Valentine Holmes, 2. Kyle Feldt, 3. Javid Bowen, 4. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, 5. Murray Taulagi, 6. Scott Drinkwater, 7. Tom Dearden, 8. Tom Gilbert, 9. Reece Robson, 10. Jordan McLean, 11. Shane Wright, 12. Coen Hess, 13. Jason Taumalolo

Bench: 14. Jake Granville, 15. Peter Hola, 16. Lachlan Burr, 17. Francis Molo

Reserves: 18. Justin O’Neill, 19. Ben Condon, 20. Daejarn Asi, 21. Corey Jensen 22. Kyle Laybutt

TEAMS COMMENT: The Cowboys are boosted by the return of suspended stars Jason Taumalolo and Lachlan Burr, while Tom Dearden will also make his club debut following the departure of Jake Clifford. Corey Jensen drops to the reserves, while Mitchell Dunn is out with suspension.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Valentine Holmes has been killing it KFC SuperCoaches but really is one to avoid until after the Origin period. Jason Taumalolo has been a massive disappointment in 2021, from injury to suspension and reduced minutes, his days as a gun could be over. It will be worth keeping an eye on him over the coming weeks to see if his price drops and his situation improves, but for now he is one to avoid. There really isn’t much happening at the Cowboys, with Val the only player above 10% ownership.

SHARKS V PANTHERS

Friday 11 June, Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, Sydney, 7:55pm

SHARKS

1. Will Kennedy, 2. Connor Tracey, 3. Will Chambers, 4. Jesse Ramien, 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo, 6. Matt Moylan, 7. Shaun Johnson, 8. Aiden Tolman, 9. Blayke Brailey, 10. Aaron Woods, 11. Briton Nikora, 12. Wade Graham, 13. Toby Rudolf

Bench: 14. Braydon Trindall, 15. Siosifa Talakai, 16. Jack Williams, 17. Andrew Fifita

Reserves: 18. Teig Wilton, 19. Chad Townsend, 20. Franklin Pele, 21. Mawene Hiroti

TEAMS COMMENT: Just one change to the team, with Andrew Fifita returning on the bench at the expense of Franklin Pele. Wilton on to extended bench in place of Magoulias and Mawene Hiroti for Jenson Taumoepeau

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Like the Cowboys there really isn’t anything crazy happening at the Sharks, but there is a SUPERPOD on the horizon, with Shaun Johnson at less than 1% ownership. Maybe not this week against the Panthers, but after that the Sharks have a decent run and the week off would have done him a world of good. The other player to keep an eye on is Jesse Ramien, who looked incredible against the Titans in Round 12, scoring 124, including 33 in pure base, and also comes in at less than 1% ownership.

PANTHERS

1. Dylan Edwards, 2. Charlie Staines, 3. Stephen Crichton 4. Paul Momirovski, 5. Robert Jennings, 6. Matt Burton, 7. Tyrone May, 8. Moses Leota, 9. Apisai Koroisau, 10. James Fisher-Harris, 11. Viliame Kikau, 12. Scott Sorensen, 13. Matt Eisenhuth

Bench: 14. Mitch Kenny, 15. J’maine Hopgood, 16. Spencer Leniu, 17. Izack Tago

Reserves: 18. Isaah yeo, 19. Nathan Cleary, 20. Liam Martin, 21. Jarome Luai, 22. Kurt Capewell, 23. Brian To’o

TEAMS COMMENT: Moses Leota (susp) returns pushing Spencer Leniu to the bench, while the Panthers other Origin stars have all been named among the reserves, despite early mail suggesting they wouldn’t back up. However NSW’s 18th man Api Koroisau has been named to start, pushing Mitch Kenny back to the bench.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Charlie Staines has been a massive disappointment in 2021, and really needs multiple tries to come up with the massive scores we expected of him. With the Round 13 bye gone there is really no reason to hold him anymore and he has to go. Most of the Panthers Origin stars weren’t named to backup from Origin so there is a real chance the majority of KFC Supercoaches will be without Cleary and To’o, but realistically these guys are still keepers and should be held. Matt Burton is probably one to hold onto for at least another week, but he is also one to consider selling soon given his break-even of 71.

KFC SuperCoach NRL: Round 14 Buy Hold Sell

TITANS V ROOSTERS

Saturday 12 June, Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast, 3:00pm

TITANS

1. AJ Brimson, 2. Greg Marzhew, 3. Brian Kelly, 4. Patrick Herbert, 5. Phillip Sami, 6. Ash Taylor, 7. Jamal Fogarty, 8. Jarrod Wallace, 9. Erin Clark, 10. Moeaki Fotuaika, 11. Kevin Proctor, 12. David Fifita, 13. Tino Fa’asuamaleaui

Bench: 14. Tyrone Peachey, 15. Jaiman Jolliffe, 16. Sam McIntyre, 17. Esan Marsters

Reserves: 18. Sam Stone, 19. Joseph Vuna, 20. Jai Whitbread, 21. Jayden Campbell, 22. Anthony Don, 23. Mitch Rein

TEAMS COMMENT: AJ Brimson has been named to play for the Titans, despite backing up from Origin and carrying a knee injury, however Jayden Campbell has been named among the reserves and could be in line for a recall if Brimson is out. Other Origin players David Fifita, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Moeaki Fotuaika have all been named to backup but will likely play reduced minutes. Greg Marzhew impressed on debut and has kept his starting spot, however Anthony Don is named in the reserves and could return from a hip injury at his expense.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Good news for KFC SuperCoaches, with David Fifita and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui named to back up from Origin, but Tino seems very unlikely to play big minutes and is one to sell given his inconsistency. If you’ve held David Fifita this long I think he is a keeper for the end of the year, but if you are a non-owner you might be able to pick him up pretty cheap after the Round 17 bye.

ROOSTERS

1. James Tedesco, 2. Daniel Tupou, 3. Josh Morris, 4. Joey Manu, 5. Matt Ikuvalu, 6. Lachlan Lam, 7. Sam Walker, 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreave, 9. Ben Marschke, 10. Siosiua Taukeiaho, 11. Angus Crichton, 12. Sitili Tupouniua, 13. Isaac Liu

Bench: 14. Adam Keighran, 15. Egan Butcher, 16. Daniel Suluka-Fifita, 17. Fletcher Baker

Reserves: 18. Tuku Hau Tapuha, 19. Ben Thomas, 20. Brad Abbey, 21. Joseph Suaalii

TEAMS COMMENT: Likewise the Roosters sole origin player James Tedesco has been named to backup, however could still be a late withdrawal for the Roosters depending on how he pulls up. Angus Crichton returns from suspension, Joey Manu moves back to the centres, with Lachlan Lam returning to five-eighth and Sam Walker returning from a week off. In bad news for SuperCoaches Joseph Suaalii has been moved back to the reserves, but could still be a late inclusion if James Tedesco is given a week off. Boyd Cordner is still a few weeks away at least.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS:

Tupou profiles as the perfect CTW to buy in next few weeks as not only does he cover the Rd 17 bye he also is a keeper to the end. Siosiua Taukeiaho looms as an interesting POD, coming in at less than $400k with less than 10% ownership. He seems to have shaken off his injury dramas and has reclaimed a starting spot and covers the Round 17 bye, so is ticking all the boxes. If you’ve held onto Angus Cricton he could be one to keep through to the end of the year, especially if he misses out on Origin selection for Game II.

Daniel Tupou could be the best CTW to bring in before Round 17. Picture: Getty Images.

RABBITOHS V KNIGHTS

Saturday 12 June, Stadium Australia, Sydney, 5:30pm

RABBITOHS

1. Latrell Mitchell, 2. Alex Johnston, 3. Braidon Burns, 4. Campbell Graham, 5. Taane Milne 6. Cody Walker, 7. Adam Reynolds, 8. Mark Nicholls, 9. Damien Cook, 10. Tevita Tatola, 11. Keon Koloamatangi, 12. Jacob Host, 13. Cam Murray

Bench: 14. Benji Marshall, 15. Jaydn Su’A, 16. Hame Sele, 17. Thomas Burgess

Reserves: 18. Liam Knight, 19. Patrick Mago, 20. Blake Taaffe, 21. Josh Mansour, 22. Tautau Moga, 23. Peter Mamouzelos

TEAMS COMMENT: Again, the Rabbitohs have also named their Origin stars to backup, with the exceptions of Dane Gagai (who is set to be rested after battling illness while in Maroons camp), and Jai Arrow.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: The lethal left side of the Rabbitohs is running at the porous right side defence of the Knights. I smell a bloodbath here. Cody Walker and Johnston look set for some big scores. Did I mention the Rabbitohs have an incredible upcoming schedule with games against Newcastle, Broncos, Tigers, Cowboys, Bulldogs, Warriors and the Dragons?

KNIGHTS

1. Tex Hoy, 2. Enari Tuala, 3. Kurt Mann, 4. Bradman Best, 5. Brayden Musgrove, 6. Jake Clifford, 7. Phoenix Crossland, 8. Jacob Saifiti, 9. Jayden Brailey, 10. Daniel Saifiti, 11. Brodie Jones, 12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon, 13. Mitchell Barnett

Bench: 14. Connor Watson, 15. Sauaso Sue, 16. Josh King, 17. Jack Johns

Reserves: 18. Gehamat Shibasaki, 19. Jirah Momoisea, 20. Matt Croker, 21. Dominic Young

TEAMS COMMENT: The Knights have been hit hard by injury and suspension and will be hoping Daniel Saifiti is good to go when he returns from Origin duties. In a backline reshuffle, Kurt Mann has been shifted to centre, pushing Enari Tuala out to the wing, bringing Phoenix Crossland back into the starting side. Mitchell Pearce and Kalyn Ponga are still at least another week away.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Abandon ship! Knights players like Jayden Brailey, Connor Watson, Mitch Barnett and Bradman Best provided some much needed bye coverage, but all have been massive disappointments in recent weeks and are must sells. The only exception may be Jayden Brailey, purely because there aren’t many decent options at hooker at the moment, with Harry Grant and Damien Cook on Origin duties and Brandon Smith now very expensive.

The Rabbitohs have an incredible upcoming schedule and Cody Walker could be a great purchase for Round 17 after missing out on Origin. Picture: Getty Images.

RAIDERS V BRONCOS

Saturday 12 June, GIO Stadium, Canberra, 7:35pm

RAIDERS

1. Bailey Simonsson, 2. Semi Valemei, 3. Sebastian Kris, 4. Matthew Timoko, 5. Jordan Rapana, 6. Jack Wighton, 7. Sam Williams, 8. Josh Papalii, 9. Josh Hodgson, 10. Dunamis Lui, 11. Corey Harawira-Naera, 12. Elliott Whitehead, 13. Ryan Sutton

Bench: 14. Tom Starling, 15. Emre Guler, 16, Iosia Soliola, 17. Joseph Tapine

Reserves: 18. Elijah Anderson, 19. Hudson Young, 20. Matt Frawley, 21. Harry Rushton

TEAMS COMMENT: The Raiders have overhauled their backline, with Bailey Simonsson replacing Caleb Aekins at fullback, while Matt Timoko replaces Curtis Scott at centre, while Josh Papalii and Joseph Tapine are back in the team. Emre Guler moves back to the bench, while Corey Horsburgh and Ryan James are out of the squad.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Matt Timoko comes in for Curtis Scott and while the Raiders do cover Rd 17 I wouldn’t be rushing to get this cheapie. Bailey Simonsson remains highly owned and maybe his move to fullback could actually make him relevant.. or at least give us a reason to hold for Round 17. Corey Harawira-Naera is another one to consider picking up, given his season average of 64 (45 of which is in base), but there are still question marks over his job security given the form of the Raiders.

BRONCOS

1. Herbie Farnworth, 2. Xavier Coates, 3. Dale Copley, 4. Jesse Arthars, 5. Selwyn Cobbo, 6. Karmichael Hunt, 7. Albert Kelly, 8. Matthew Lodge, 9. Jake Turpin, 10. Payne Haas, 11. Alex Glenn, 12. Tevita Pangai Jnr, 13. Thomas Flegler

Bench: 14. Kobe Hetherington, 15. John Asiata, 16. Keenan Palasia, 17. TC Robati

Reserves: 18. Tesi Niu, 19. Cory Paix, 20. David Mead, 21. Jordan Riki

TEAMS COMMENT: Karmichael Hunt will play his first NRL game since 2009, while Herbie Farnworth replaces Jamayne Isaako at fullback, with Tyson Gamble and Isaako out of the team. Payne Haas has been named to backup from Origin, pushing Thomas Flegler to lock, John Asiata to the bench and Ethan Bullemor out of the squad altogether.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Matt Lodge is going great guns but Broncos no longer provide bye help and is he off to Knights soon? The Tyson Gamble didn’t really pay off for SuperCoaches, and with him out of the side and the Round 13 bye round gone it is time to sell. The same goes for Jamayne Isaako, who has been dropped for Herbie Farnworth after scoring just 16 in Round 13. Realistically the only Bronco worth holding is TPJ, who is a genuine keeper for the end of the year (barring suspension). TCRobati is one of the most purchases players so far for Round 14 but has all the markings of a trap!

WARRIORS V STORM

Sunday 13 June, Central Coast Stadium, Gosford, 2:00pm

WARRIORS

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 2. Marcelo Montoya, 3. Euan Aitken, 4. Rocco Berry, 5. Edward Kosi, 6. Kodi Nikorima, 7. Chanel Harris-Tavita, 8. Jamayne Taunoa-Brown, 9. Wayde Egan, 10. Leeson Ah Mau, 11. Bayley Sironen, 12. Tohu Harris, 13. Josh Curran

Bench: 14. Jack Murchie, 15. Kane Evans, 16. Bunty Afoa, 17. Ben Murdoch-Masila

Reserves: 18. Jazz Tevaga, 20. Sean O’Sullivan, 21. Ken Maumalo, 23. Addin Fonua-Blake

TEAMS COMMENT: Addin Fonua-Blake has been named among the reserves and looks set to make his return after a 10-week absence. Roger Tuivasa-Scheck returns to fullback with young gun Reece Walsh suspended, while Josh Curran returns from injury at lock. Rocco Berry replaces the suspended Adam Pompey, while Leeson Ah Mau replaces Kane Evans at front row.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Tohu Harris will be one of the most popular purchases over the coming weeks, given his season average of 77.5 and the fact he will cover the Round 17 bye. Joshua Curran is back this week, great news for the almost 19% of KFC SuperCoaches who held him and is another one to hold until Round 17. Other than that there isn’t much happening at the Warriors, but one to keep an eye on is Addin Fonua-Blake, who could be a late inclusion this week.

STORM

1. Nicho Hynes, 2. George Jennings, 3. Reimis Smith, 4. Justin Olam, 5. Josh Addo-Carr, 6. Cameron Munster, 7. Jahrome Hughes, 8. Jesse Bromwich, 9. Brandon Smith, 10. Nelson Asofa-Solomona, 11. Kenny Bromwich, 12. Felise Kaufusi, 13. Dale Finucane

Bench: 14. Harry Grant, 15. Tui Kamikamica 16. Christian Welch, 17. Aaron Pene

Reserves: 18. Dean Ieremia, 19. Tom Eisenhuth, 20. Marion Seve, 21. Chris Lewis 22. Trent Loiero 23. Cooper Johns

TEAMS COMMENT: Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Reimis Smith are both facing suspensions and will need to be successful at the judiciary to play. Origin stars Cameron Munster, Felise Kaufusi and Josh Addo-Carr have been named to back up, while Harry Grant and Christian Welch are named on the bench.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: The question on 31% of KFC SuperCoaches minds is whether to hold or sell Nicho Hynes, given he has likely hit his ceiling of $900k and has a break-even of 114. However he does have a good matchup here and by all reports Ryan Papenhuyzen is still a few weeks away, so Hynes is still a hold for now. Brandon Smith is also one to hold over the Origin period, with Harry Grant likely playing reduced minutes over the Origin period, while Smiths break-even is just 57. But given his $633k price tag he isn’t someone I’d be going out of my way to buy anymore.

EELS V WESTS TIGERS

Sunday 13 June, Bankwest Stadium, Sydney, 4:05pm

EELS

1. Clint Gutherson, 2. Maika Sivo, 3. Tom Opacic, 4. Waqa Blake, 5. Haze Dunster, 6. Dylan Brown, 7. Mitchell Moses, 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard, 9. Joey Lussick, 10. Junior Paulo, 11. Isaiah Papali’i, 12. Ryan Matterson, 13. Nathan Brown

Bench: 14. Marata Niukore, 15. Shaun Lane, 16. Oregon Kaufusi, 17. Bryce Cartwright

Reserves: 18. Will Smith, 19. Blake Ferguson, 20. Jakob Arthur, 21. Nathaniel Roache

TEAMS COMMENT: Reed Mahoney is out for Parramatta after picking up a shoulder injury late in their win over Newcastle, with Joey Lussick replacing him at dummy half. Blues prop Junior Paulo has been named to return, pushing Marata Niukore back to the bench and Will Smith back to the reserves. Haze Dunster retains the starting wing spot, Blake Ferguson named among the reserves.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: All Hail King Gutho! While Turbo and Teddy get all the headlines in SC, King Gutho just quietly rolls along with a 84 PPG average and 170 more points than the next best fullback James Tedesco. The other Eel to consider in the coming weeks is Ryan Matterson, after his 95 points in Round 13 but keep in mind these guys wont play in Round 17. Reed Mahoney is out with a shoulder injury and with the uncertainty over his return date he is one to sell.

WESTS TIGERS

1. Daine Laurie, 2. David Nofoaluma, 3. Adam Doueihi, 4. Tommy Talau, 5. James Roberts, 6. Moses Mbye, 7. Luke Brooks, 8. James Tamou, 9. Jacob Liddle, 10. Alex Twal, 11. Luke Garner, 12. Luciano Leilua, 13. Joe Ofahengaue

Bench: 14. Stefano Utoikamanu, 15. Shawn Blore, 16. Tom Amone, 17. Alex Seyfarth

Reserves: 18. Michael Chee Kam, 19. Billy Walters, 20. Kelma Tuilagi, 21. Jake Simpkin

TEAMS COMMENT: Despite picking up a knee injury in their win over Penrith, Moses Mbye has been named, while Thomas Mikaele is out of the squad. Joe Ofahengaue has been named to backup from Origin, with Alex Seyfarth moving back to the bench.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: They may have toppled an understrength Panthers last week but for KFC SuperCoach there isn’t much happening here. With the first bye round behind us Daine Laurie could now potentially be one to consider upgrading to another gun CTW. Same goes for Stefano Utoikamanu, Joe Ofahengaue and James Roberts. David Nofoaluma let KFC SuperCoaches down in Roun 13, but is still has a five round average of 65 so I’d hold.

BULLDOGS V DRAGONS

Monday 14 June, Stadium Australia, Sydney, 4:00pm

BULLDOGS

1. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 2. Nick Cotric, 3. Will Hopoate, 4. Aaron Schoupp, 5. Nick Meaney, 6. Brandon Wakeham, 7. Jake Averillo, 8. Jack Hetherington, 9. Jeremy Marshall-King, 10. Luke Thompson, 11. Adam Elliott, 12. Matt Doorey, 13. Josh Jackson

Bench: 14. Sione Katoa, 15. Dylan Napa, 16. Ava Seumanufaga, 17. Joe Stimsoni

Reserves: 19. Kyle Flanagan, 20. Corey Waddell, 21. Tuipulotu Katoa, 23. Kris Smith

TEAMS COMMENT: Jeremy Marshall-King has been named to make his return from a foot injury, while Sione Katoa returns from suspension on the bench.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Luke Thompson has a 5RA of 69 and is really the only Dog you might want these days. Will he suffer when the pack is back at full strength? Maybe, but surely Hetheringotn and Napa can keep being suspended/injured so…

DRAGONS

1. Matthew Dufty, 2. Cody Ramsey, 3. Brayden Williame, 4. Gerard Beale, 5. Mikaele Ravalawa, 6. Corey Norman, 7. Ben Hunt, 8. Blake Lawrie, 9. Andrew McCullough, 10. Paul Vaughan, 11. Josh Kerr, 12. Jack Bird, 13. Jackson Ford

Bench: 14. Talatau Amone, 15. Poasa Faamausili, 16. Daniel Alvaro, 17. Jack de Belin

Reserves: 18. Adam Clune, 19. Kaide Ellis, 20. Tariq Sims, 21. Billy Burns

TEAMS COMMENT: The Dragons have named the same 17 after their impressive win over Brisbane, with Tariq Sims named among the reserves.

KFC SUPERCOACH ANALYSIS: Another team with not much happening for KFC SuperCoaches unfortunately. Ben Hunt was a popular purchase for Round 13 and looked poor for the majority of the game, until Brisbane’s second-half syndrome kicked in.
