NRL SuperCoach teams analysis - Rd 11

SUPERCOACHES have received some respite on the toughest week of the season so far, with a host of good buys emerging from the round 11 and Origin team announcements.

A bevy of rookies and cheapies were named, providing plenty of opportunities for SuperCoaches who are battling to field full sides this week given six teams are on the bye and Origin players out.

Highlights included:

• PAUL Carter was again named starting lock for the Titans. He now appears a strong chance to keep up his three game average of 62 given the continued absence of Greg Bird (suspension, round 13), Ashley Harrison (neck, round 17) and Nate Myles (Origin);

• EARLY-season buy Moses Mbye was finally named for his second match of the year, with the star youngster to play halfback at the Bulldogs in place of Trent Hodkinson (NSW);

• DAVID Fifita emerged as a cheapie option after scoring a bench spot at the Sharks in the absence of Anthony Tupou (knee, indefinite), Luke Lewis and Paul Gallen (both NSW)

• PRE-SEASON fancy Mitchell Cornish was named to debut for the Raiders, but off the bench. He may place pressure on the aging Terry Campese and could emerge as a cheapie in coming weeks;

• POPULAR North Queensland pair Jason Taumalolo and Curtis Rona (both ankle) were named to return from injury;

• JAMES Maloney emerged as the big SuperCoach winner from the Origin team announcements following his NSW snub. He will now be available for all three tough bye rounds, but would have missed five of eight weeks if he made the Origin side;

• JOSH Jackson, John Sutton, Adam Reynolds and Anthony Milford also emerged as useful purchases following Origin snubs.

Friday, May 23, Bulldogs v Roosters, ANZ Stadium, NINE, 7:45pm

Bulldogs: Sam Perrett, Mitch Brown, Chase Stanley, Timoteo Lafai, Krisnan Inu, Reni Maitua, Moses Mbye, Aiden Tolman, Michael Ennis, James Graham, Josh Jackson, Dale Finucane, Greg Eastwood. Interchange: Pat O'Hanlon, Tim Browne, David Klemmer, Sam Kasiano, Corey Thompson, Lachlan Burr

Ins: Krisnan Inu, Reni Maitua, Moses Mbye, Pat O'Hanlon, Corey Thompson, Lachlan Burr

Outs: Josh Morris, Josh Reynolds, Trent Hodkinson, Tony Williams (all NSW)

Other unavailables: Frank Pritchard (pectoral, season), Drury Low (fractured hand, round 12)

Comment: The big news for SuperCoaches is the naming of Moses Mbye, who should provide cover for all tough bye rounds following Josh Reynolds and Trent Hodkinson's call-ups. Tim Lafai, Aiden Tolman, James Graham and Josh Jackson remain bye period purchases, although some SuperCoaches will be ruing looking for bye value in Origin players Tony Williams, Reynolds and Hodkinson. In terms of team changes, Chase Stanley shifts to centre to replace Josh Morris, with Krisnan Inu coming onto the wing. Reynolds and Hodkinson are replaced in the halves by Reni Maitua and Mbye. Williams is replaced in the starting back row by Dale Finucane, with Pat O'Hanlon, Corey Thompson and Lachlan Burr added to an extended bench.

Roosters: Anthony Minichiello, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Samisoni Langi, Mitchell Aubusson, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, James Maloney, Mitchell Pearce, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Jake Friend, Sam Moa, Dylan Napa, Sonny Bill Williams, Frank Paul Nuuausala. Interchange: Daniel Mortimer, Isaac Liu, Kane Evans, Remi Casty

Ins: Samisoni Langi, Mitchell Pearce, Kane Evans, Remi Casty

Outs: Daniel Tupou, Michael Jennings (NSW), Boyd Cordner (ankle, round 17), Aidan Guerra (Queensland)

Other unavailables: None

Comment: James Maloney's Origin snub is a big win for SuperCoaches willing to bet on him not being recalled. At $120,000, Michael Jennings' centre replacement Samisoni Langi could emerge as a backline cheapie, especially if Jennings or Daniel Tupou get injured in Origin. Sonny Bill Williams is back in the pack following the return of Mitchell Pearce (club suspension). He is an essential buy for this week for those who don't already own him, despite up-and-down form. Jake Friend will be released to play despite being named in an extended squad for Queensland.

Saturday, May 24, Titans v Warriors, Robina Stadium, FOX, 5:30pm

Titans: David Mead, Kalifa Faifai Loa, William Zillman, Brad Takairangi, Anthony Don, Beau Henry, Albert Kelly, Luke Douglas, Beau Falloon, Luke Bailey, Mark Minichiello, Dave Taylor, Paul Carter. Interchange: Matt White, Mark Ioane, Ben Ridge, Matt Srama, Cody Nelson

Ins: Albert Kelly, Mark Ioane, Ben Ridge

Outs: Aidan Sezer (pectoral, season), Nate Myles (Queensland)

Other unavailables: Greg Bird (suspension, round 13), Jamie Dowling (knee, season), James Roberts (ankle, round 12), Ashley Harrison (neck, round 17)

Comment: Starting lock Paul Carter has emerged as a serious rep season buy given the absences of Greg Bird (suspension, round 13), Ashley Harrison (neck, round 17) and Nate Myles (Origin). The kid is a serious gun and played 80 minutes on the weekend, which should continue while the big guns are out. But unfortunately, further bye period purchases are few and far between, which is a shame given Gold Coast's great bye schedule. Albert Kelly could be a point of difference option, especially if he wins the kicking duties with Bird and Aidan Sezer (pectoral, round 24) out. But recent injury history is a worry, as is the Titans' depleted attack, exacerbated by the long-term loss of Sezer. There is also a bit to like about David Taylor's recent SuperCoach form, but Carter is available for $6,000 cheaper.

Warriors: Sam Tomkins, Kevin Locke, Konrad Hurrell, Ngani Laumape, Manu Vatuvei, Chad Townsend, Shaun Johnson, Jacob Lillyman, Nathan Friend, Ben Matulino, Jayson Bukuya, Ben Henry, Simon Mannering. Interchange: Siliva Havili, Suaia Matagi, Feleti Mateo, Sebastine Ikahihifo, Nathaniel Peteru

Ins: Siliva Havili, Nathaniel Peteru

Outs: Sione Lousi (knee, round 15)

Other unavailables: Sam Rapira (back, indefinite), Thomas Leuluai (groin, indefinite), Glen Fisiiahi (shoulder, round 12), Jerome Ropati (broken jaw, round 12)

Comment: With a two round average of 88 in the back row, Ben Matulino was looming as an intriguing bye round purchase, but has inexplicably been moved back to prop. Ben Henry takes Matulino's place in the pack and could emerge as a centre/wing buy if he plays big minutes. Kevin Locke moves into the starting backline, with SuperCoach cheapie David Fusitua (shoulder) to return from injury in NSW Cup. Konrad Hurrell and Shaun Johnson remain bye period purchases. Sione Lousi (knee, round 15) is replaced on the bench by Siliva Havili, with Nathaniel Peteru added as 18th man.

Saturday, May 24, Tigers v Broncos, Campbelltown Stadium, FOX, 7:30pm

Tigers: Kurtis Rowe, David Nofoaluma, Tim Simona, Chris Lawrence, Pat Richards, Braith Anasta (c), Luke Brooks, Martin Taupau, Joel Luani, Keith Galloway, Sitaleki Akauola, Bodene Thompson, Adam Blair. Interchange: Sauaso Sue, Ava Seumanufagai, Blake Austin, Keith Lulia

Ins: Joel Luani, Sitaleki Akauola, Keith Lulia

Outs: Aaron Woods, Robbie Farah (NSW), Cory Paterson (finger, indefinite)

Other unavailables: James Gavet (hamstring, round 13), James Tedesco (ankle, round 13), Dene Halatau (ankle, round 13), Tim Moltzen (knee, indefinite), Liam Fulton (back, round 13)

Comment: The Tigers lose three forwards in Aaron Woods, Robbie Farah (NSW) and Cory Paterson (finger, indefinite). Martin Taupau replaces Aaron Woods at starting prop, with Keith Lulia added to the bench. Joel Luani replaces Robbie Farah at hooker, with SuperCoach cheapie Blake Austin to get game time at dummy half off the bench. Sitaleki Akauola replaces Cory Paterson in the back row. Kurtis Rowe should make another $10,000 or so, with James Tedesco (ankle, round 13) due back after the bye. Like the Titans, there is a lack of genuine bye period purchases here, despite a great schedule.

Broncos: Ben Barba, Daniel Vidot, Jack Reed, Dale Copley, Lachlan Maranta, Josh Hoffman, Ben Hunt, Josh McGuire, Andrew McCullough, Jarrod Wallace, Alex Glenn, Corey Oates, Todd Lowrie. Interchange: David Hala, Ben Hannant, David Stagg, Jake Granville, Martin Kennedy, Jordan Kahu

Ins: Lachlan Maranta, Ben Hannant, Jake Granville, Martin Kennedy, Jordan Kahu

Outs: Justin Hodges, Matt Gillett, Corey Parker (Queensland)

Other unavailables: Sam Thaiday (calf, round 12), Mitchell Dodds (knee, season), Ashley Taylor (shoulder, round 18)

Comment: Justin Hodges, Matt Gillett and Corey Parker (Queensland) are replaced in the 17 by Lachlan Maranta, Ben Hannant and Jake Granville. Martin Kennedy and Jordan Kahu have been added to an extended bench. Ben Barba is seriously out of form and not an option, even at $158,000. Josh McGuire (three round average 62) and Andrew McCullough (season average 67) could be great purchases for this week's bye, but miss rounds 14 and 17.

Sunday, May 25, Raiders v Cowboys, GIO Stadium, NINE, 3:00pm

Raiders: Anthony Milford, Reece Robinson, Jarrod Croker, Jack Wighton, Sami Sauiluma, Terry Campese (c), Josh McCrone, David Shillington, Glen Buttriss, Brett White, Jarrad Kennedy, Joel Edwards, Shaun Fensom. Interchange: Mitch Cornish, Matt McIlwrick, Paul Vaughan, Dane Tilse, Shannon Boyd

Ins: Mitch Cornish, Shannon Boyd

Outs: Josh Papalii (Queensland)

Other unavailables: Edrick Lee (foot, season), Jeff Lynch (knee, season)

Comment: Josh Papalii (Queensland) is replaced in the starting back row by Joel Edwards, with Shannon Boyd added to the bench. Pre-season cheapie fancy Mitch Cornish has been named to debut in jersey 14 and could place serious pressure on Terry Campese for a starting halves spot. Anthony Milford and Shaun Fensom remain great bye period purchases.

Cowboys: Michael Morgan, Curtis Rona, Matthew Wright, Kane Linnett, Antonio Winterstein, Robert Lui, Ray Thompson, Scott Bolton, Rory Kostjasyn, Ashton Sims, Ethan Lowe, Jason Taumalolo, Tariq Sims. Interchange: Anthony Mitchell, Glenn Hall, Ricky Thorby, Joel Riethmuller, Sam Hoare, John Asiata

Ins: Curtis Rona, Jason Taumalolo, Ray Thompson, Anthony Mitchell, Ricky Thorby, Joel Riethmuller, Sam Hoare, John Asiata

Outs: Brent Tate, Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott (Queensland), James Tamou (NSW), Gavin Cooper (dislocated hip, round 24), Cameron King (knee, season)

Other unavailables: Lachlan Coote (ACL, season), Patrick Kaufusi (pectoral, season)

Comment: The big news for SuperCoaches is the returns of Curtis Rona and Jason Taumalolo (both ankle), who add very welcome extra numbers for the bye round. Ray Thompson replaces Johnathan Thurston (Queensland) in the halves. Brent Tate (Queensland) is replaced at centre by Matthew Wright, with Rona returning from injury on the wing. A forward exodus – including Matt Scott (Queensland), James Tamou (NSW), Gavin Cooper (dislocated hip, round 24) and Cameron King (knee, season) - sees Scott Bolton and Ashton Sims start at prop, while Taumalolo, Anthony Mitchell, Ricky Thorby, Joel Riethmuller, Sam Hoare and John Asiata have been added to the squad.

Monday, May 26, Sharks v Rabbitohs, Remondis Stadium, FOX, 7:00pm

Sharks: Michael Gordon, Sosaia Feki, Blake Ayshford, Ricky Leutele, Jonathan Wright, Daniel Holdsworth, Jeff Robson, Siosaia Vave, John Morris, Bryce Gibbs, Tinirau Arona, Wade Graham (c), Chris Heighington. Interchange: Isaac De Gois, Sam Tagataese, Tupou Sopoaga, David Fifita, Michael Lichaa

Ins: Blake Ayshford, Daniel Holdsworth, Tinirau Arona, Tupou Sopoaga, David Fifita, Michael Lichaa

Outs: Anthony Tupou (knee, indefinite), Beau Ryan (neck, indefinite), Todd Carney (hamstring, indefinite), Luke Lewis and Paul Gallen (both NSW)

Other unavailables: Andrew Fifita (ankle, round 15), Matt Prior (back, round 13)

Comment: The Sharks have lost possibly their three best forwards in Anthony Tupou (knee), Luke Lewis and Paul Gallen (both NSW). Two of the replacements will please SuperCoaches – early-season cheapie Tinirau Arona and a potential cheapie for this week in David Fifita, with Tupou Sopoaga and Michael Lichaa also added. Michael Gordon has been a shining light for the Sharks, averaging 59 for the season and 87 in the last three rounds. Wade Graham could be a point of difference bye purchase. Beau Ryan (neck, indefinite) and Todd Carney (hamstring, indefinite) are also missing, replaced by Blake Ayshford and Daniel Holdsworth.

Rabbitohs: Nathan Merritt, Alex Johnston, Dylan Walker, Kirisome Auva'a, Joel Reddy, John Sutton, Adam Reynolds, George Burgess, Apisai Koroisau, David Tyrrell, Kyle Turner, Ben Lowe, Sam Burgess. Interchange: Cameron McInnes, Bryson Goodwin, Jason Clark, Luke Burgess

Ins: Nathan Merritt, Joel Reddy, Ben Lowe

Outs: Greg Inglis, Ben Te'o, Chris McQueen (Queensland)

Other unavailables: Issac Luke (shoulder round 12), Luke Keary (pectoral, round 13), Beau Champion (wrist, indefinite)

Comment: Queensland Origin stars Greg Inglis, Ben Te'o and Chris McQueen are replaced in the 17 by Nathan Merritt, Joel Reddy, Ben Lowe. Reddy has scored a starting wing spot ahead of Bryson Goodwin, who has been named on the bench. Cheapie Alex Johnston gets another run, and even if you missed the boat last week, he's still set for another $45,000 price rise this week. John Sutton, Adam Reynolds, George Burgess and Sam Burgess are all top purchases for the byes. Issac Luke (shoulder) could be a late inclusion. He would likely relegate Cameron McInnes to NSW Cup and may cut the minutes of Apisai Koroisau.

BYES: Dragons, Storm, Knights, Sea Eagles, Panthers, Eels
