Team lists: Supercoach round 7 squad analysis

2020 NRL Supercoach runner-up Tim Williams analyses the squads dropped for round 7 of the 2023 season.

NRL

One thing I’m loving in Supercoach at the moment is how wide open the centre-wing position has become.

There are so many high ceiling players available delivering mixed output.

Proven guns such as Brian To’o and Val Holmes reminded us of their class in Round 6, while the highly popular Reuben Garrick is set to plummet cash after an injury impacted outing against the Panthers.

Greg Marzhew is back in the top grade and scoring tries for fun, while teammate Lachlan Miller is proving extremely consistent and now has the goal-kicking duties at the Knights.

Jacob Kiraz has come to the pack a bit in recent weeks, but likely still finishes top four CTW by end of season.

The Rabbitohs right edge is humming, and Campbell Graham is proving the main beneficiary which could see him join the elite of the position in 2023.

Let’s throw in Joey Manu who is set to plummet in price in coming weeks.

There are stacks of option, and it makes the great game of Supercoach all the more enjoyable by diversifying squads, even if it means agonisingly watching certain guns without owning.

We’ll be ranking our top picks from the position on the SC Playbook podcast this week.

The Cooma Stallions had a strong week and we’re shaping up well, notching 1,257 points to sit in 14k overall.

The Garrick injury didn’t help, not did Joe Tapine’s withdrawal, but we still managed a big Easter weekend to see some green.

Speaking of green, up the Mighty Raiders!

Due to the public holiday on Monday, I’ll be recording the Bloke in a Bar podcast on Tuesday, then the SC Playbook podcast shortly after.

The Easter Monday game has thrown the Supercoach window opening out of whack, so my analysis below will be far more brief and less data heavy as a result due to time constraints.

Anything briefer below will certainly be elaborated on in the podcast though.

Let’s take at the Round 7 teams, with squads courtesy of Fox Sports.

DOLPHINS v RABBITOHS

Thursday, 7.50pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Dolphins: 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Euan Aitken 4. Brenko Lee 5. Robert Jennings 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Isaiya Katoa 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10. Herman Ese’ese 11. Kenny Bromwich 12. Connelly Lemuelu 13. Tom Gilbert 14. JJ Collins 15. Mark Nicholls 16. Ray Stone 17. Kurt Donoghoe 18. Poasa Faamausili 19. Mason Teague 20. Edrick Lee 21. Jack Bostock 22. Valynce Te Whare

Analysis: The Dolphins just keep on keepin’ on.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow continued his great season with 120 points, initiating another two rounds of price rises.

I wouldn’t be buying now, but anyone who held would be cheering.

Ditto Jamayne Isaako who has been superb the season, scoring 118.

I’d be very surprised if he was a keeper, but owners will be able to flip him so someone like Garrick or Kiraz for a potential profit in coming weeks, incredible.

Tom Gilbert is popular as dual 2RF-FRF at $573k, but I’m not convinced. He’s been terrific this season no doubt of that, but he’s had a lot of attacking stats for a middle.

In three of his six games this season he’s scored sub 50, in his tonne on the weekend he had a try and a try-assist.

Maybe he keeps up the attacking stats, but I’m willing to bet he doesn’t.

Rabbitohs: 1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Campbell Graham 5. Izaac Tu’itupou Thompson 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Jai Arrow 9. Damien Cook 10. Thomas Burgess 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Jacob Host 13. Cameron Murray 14. Jed Cartwright 15. Daniel Suluka-Fifita 16. Davvy Moale 17. Hame Sele 18. Taane Milne 19. Blake Taaffe 20. Ben Lovett 21. Michael Chee Kam 22. Tallis Duncan

Analysis: The Rabbitohs burst into gear on Easter Friday against the Bulldogs, with a number of key Supercoach players going big.

It is worth noting the Dogs were heavily understrength, and after the Dolphins, the Rabbitohs face the Panthers, Broncos and Storm, so the draw remains tough.

Latrell Mitchell hit his first tonne of the season, scoring 146 to come into serious buy contention and halt any potential price drops.

Being fairly well fixture proof, he’s a genuine option this week. with a breakeven of 13.

Campbell Graham had his 4th 80+ score of the season, knocking out 145 points.

While he remains a great buy with outstanding base to go with South Sydney’s firing right edge, he will come into serious Origin consideration for NSW, especially with Josh Addo-Carr out for an extended period.

Cody Walker belted out 132 and is producing the form of old with three big weeks on the trot.

He’s also highly unlikely for Origin and is set to make more cash. That being said, he’s now up to $665k so lots of his value may well be gone.

Izaac Thompson has been named which is encouraging despite remaining under an injury cloud.

Tevita Tatola is out again through injury, while Jai Arrow returns.

SHARKS v ROOSTERS

Friday, 6pm, Pointsbet Stadium, Sydney

Sharks: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Siosifa Talakai 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Matt Moylan 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Royce Hunt 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Braden Hamlin-Uele 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Cameron McInnes 14. Wade Graham 15. Jack Williams 16. Oregon Kaufusi 17. Thomas Hazelton 18. Braydon Trindall 19. Connor Tracey 20. Tuku Hau Tapuha 21. Mawene Hiroti 22. Jayden Berrell

Analysis: Despite facing a tougher match up this week, Nicho Hynes is a must, so find a way to get him in.

He has a breakeven of 0 and is about to make a heap of cash, so I wouldn’t be looking to wait another week on him.

With Toby Rudolf out long-term, and Dale Finucane suspended for a few weeks, it’ll be interesting to see who gets additional minutes in the pack. Royce Hunt and Cam McInnes have been named to start.

McInnes could be one big beneficiary playing just 40 per game this season, averaging 43 points. The four forward bench is a concern for that though.

I think the Sharks depth in the pack is deep enough for the rotation not to be impacted too much, but it’ll still be a close watch to see if anyone benefits significantly.

It’s a tough game this week, then the draw gets a little better against the Bulldogs, Cowboys, Dolphins, Sea Eagles and Knights.

As such, a flyer on a PODs such as Katoa, Mulitalo, Ramien or Talakai could be on the cards.

As mentioned up top, there are just so many great CTW options at the moment, and trying to get the right Sharks outside back each week is a lottery.

Roosters: 1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Joseph Suaalii 4. Joseph Manu 5. Jaxson Paulo 6. Luke Keary 7. Sam Walker 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Brandon Smith 10. Lindsay Collins 11. Egan Butcher 12. Nat Butcher 13. Victor Radley 14. Drew Hutchison 15. Naufahu Whyte 16. Terrell May 17. Matthew Lodge 18. Corey Allan 19. Siua Wong 20. Paul Momirovski 21. Jake Turpin 22. Elie El Zakhem

Analysis: James Tedesco returns with a breakeven of 129, and a concussion impacted 22 in his rolling average.

He’s likely to drop to around the mouth-watering price of $600k soon.

The Roosters after this week face the Dragons, Warriors and Cowboys.

Between a cheap Teddy, Latrell, Walsh and Turbo, fullback is a truly exciting position at the moment.

Joey Manu is set to drop a stack of cash in coming rounds with a breakeven of 144 and will be in serious POD ownership range for anyone keen to invest.

He dropped $85k last week and is owned by essentially 0% of top ranked teams.

With no Origin concern he’ll likely be a must at some stage, especially if he continues to fill in at fullback for Teddy over that period.

A convincing loss to Melbourne saw most of the Roosters side score poorly, meaning most will suffer price drops in coming weeks.

Jaxson Paulo has maxed in price with a breakeven of 73 and can be flipped to a season keeper at $659k.

SEA EAGLES v STORM

Friday, 8pm, 4 Pines Park, Sydney

Sea Eagles: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jason Saab 3. Brad Parker 4. Morgan Harper 5. Ray Tuaimalo-Vaega 6. Cooper Johns 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Jake Trbojevic 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Kelma Tuilagi 13. Josh Aloiai 14. Kaeo Weekes 15. Ethan Bullemor 16. Aaron Woods 17. Toafofoa Sipley 18. Sean Keppie 19. Samuela Fainu 20. Ben Condon 21. Gordon Chan Kum Tong 22. Josh Schuster

Analysis: Manly have hit a wall the past few weeks, with Tommy Turbo scoring just 26 in a well beaten side against Penrith.

Don’t panic, the side were dominated, and Turbo also had back spasms that required injections at halftime.

I’m more than happy to hold strong.

In a cruel blow for owners, Reuben Garrick left the field with a HIA early on, scoring just 8 points. He’s out this week.

With a breakeven of 130 he’s now set to drop cash.

Manly have the Tigers next week where he should be ripe for picking, even if his breakeven remains high. He could hit his 130 breakeven v the Tigers to be fair.

Josh Schuster has been named on the extended bench and you’d think he be every chance to come into the starting side.

Sean Keppie has been demoted to 18th man which is a blow for anyone needing him as FRF cover for Stefano Utoikamanu this week.

Storm: 1. Cameron Munster 2. William Warbrick 3. Reimis Smith 4. Justin Olam 5. Xavier Coates 6. Jonah Pezet 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Tui Kamikamica 9. Harry Grant 10. Christian Welch 11. Trent Loiero 12. Eliesa Katoa 13. Josh King 14. Bronson Garlick 15. Alec MacDonald 16. Tom Eisenhuth 17. Tariq Sims 18. Grant Anderson 19. Aaron Pene 20. Tyran Wishart 21. Sualauvi Faalogo 22. Jack Howarth

Analysis: The Storm are firing once again which is great for Supercoach because it brings their wealth of stars into buy contention.

Take note of the Round 9 bye, especially Harry Grant owners who may be light on for a back-up hooker.

Nick Meaney has been superb with just one score under 60 this season, he managed 96 in a starring performance against the Roosters.

As good as he is going, Ryan Papenhuyzen’s looming return, plus the bye, probably makes him an avoid going forward. Owners can hang tight though, he’s been terrific.

He’s out this week anyway due to delayed concussion symptoms. Hold.

Cameron Munster moves to fullback, he hit his three-figure breakeven with 114 points, in four games this season he has a low of just 65.

We’ve linked up with betr for the 2023 season, where we’ll deliver a weekly SC Playbook market, with the integration of NRL Fantasy (not to be confused with NRL Supercoach, slightly different point system. This week, we’ve got Cleary to score 65+ NRL Fantasy points into two tries from To’o at $5.50 Follow us here 👉 https://bit.ly/3nOjmMY

The question is now whether we hold off until after Origin or go early and bank those points?

Dylan Brown plays all three major bye rounds and won’t be impacted by Origin so maybe he’s the better option?

Jonah Pezet comes in and has a -2 breakeven. Those who held would likely have eyed a move of him to Nicho/Cleary this week, do you take the cash or just chase the points?

As both Nicho and Cleary are both going to rise significantly too I’d still make the move.

Scoring another 70, I genuinely think Eli Katoa may be a season-long keeper.

If it wasn’t for a remarkable Joey Manu tackle, he would have had another try and 90+ score under his belt.

He just looks so lethal in attack and that blossoming combination with Jahrome Hughes is only going to get better by the game.

Will Warbrick scored just 16 points to absolutely stunt his cash growth.

While he earned $189k and with a breakeven of 48 he’s likely peaked for now, and with that looming bye he can probably be sold off this week or next having made some big cash.

WARRIORS v COWBOYS

Saturday, 3pm, Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland

Warriors: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Edward Kosi 3. Viliami Vailea 4. Adam Pompey 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Dylan Walker 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Freddy Lussick 10. Bunty Afoa 11. Jackson Ford 12. Bayley Sironen 13. Tohu Harris 14. Taine Tuaupiki 15. Josh Curran 16. Jazz Tevaga 17. Tom Ale 18. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 20. Ronald Volkman 21. Demitric Sifakula 22. Ali Leiataua 23. Zyon Maiu’u

Analysis: Popular cheapies Charnze Nicoll-Klokstadd and Jackson Ford both crossed for tries and linebreaks against the Knights to initiate some strong cash growth.

Both remain decent buys with low breakevens, but they’re far from must-haves.

CNK is now at $459k with a -22 breakeven.

Shaun Johnson continued his career resurgence with 85 points to reward new-owners, but with Nicho and Cleary as the two set-and-forget halfbacks both with negative breakevens, it’ll be hard not to trade him this week.

We’ve been hot on front-row forward cheapie watch of late, and perhaps Tom Ale is the man for the job?

He scored 60 points in 46 minutes, getting through plenty of work to give him a negative breakeven.

The injuries to Te Maire Martin and Wayde Egan would have inflated his minutes, while Tohu Harris is back and Mitch Barnett is due soon which will make time hard to come by.

Cowboys: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Peta Hiku 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Tom Dearden 7. Chad Townsend 8. Mitchell Dunn 9. Reece Robson 10. Reuben Cotter 11. Coen Hess 12. Jeremiah Nanai 13. Jason Taumalolo 14. Jake Granville 15. Tomas Chester 16. Jamayne Taunoa-Brown 17. Riley Price 18. Jack Gosiewski 19. Ben Hampton 20. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki 21. Brendan Elliot 22. Taniela Sadrugu

Analysis: Despite the Cowboys struggles, Val Holmes continues to score well, jagging a late try to score 88 points against the Dolphins.

On current form of the Cowboys, along with an injury toll, you wouldn’t rush to buy, but I think owners can happily hold.

Very little happening elsewhere at the moment.

KNIGHTS v PANTHERS

Saturday, 5.30pm, McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle

Knights: 1. Lachlan Miller 2. Dominic Young 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Tyson Gamble 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Daniel Saifiti 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Leo Thompson 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon 13. Mathew Croker 14. Kurt Mann 15. Jack Hetherington 16. Jack Johns 17. Brodie Jones 18. Enari Tuala 19. Dylan Lucas 20. Simi Sasagi 21. Hymel Hunt 22. Ryan Rivett

Analysis: MARZHEWWWWWWW!

It was a tough watch seeing him cross for a double as a non-owner, but I feel the game is a better place when we have the big fella destroying opposition wingers to score tries. It’s so entertaining.

Defensively he still has concerns which were highlighted again against the Warriors, but Supercoach owners won’t care as long as he’s getting picked.

When he plays, he scores well.

Boy I’d love to be a Lachie Miller owner, his work-rate and now addition of goal-kicking make him such a reliable scorer.

His last four scores have been 77, 95, 103 and 98.

Playing fullback, available at CTW, he’s been elite this season.

He simply needs the Knights to continue their strong form this season to be a genuine top four CTW contender for the year.

It’ll be very intriguing to see whether or not Kalyn Ponga takes over the goal-kicking when he likely returns in Round 8.

KP’s return will be GOLD for Marzew on the left also.

All that being said, the red-hot Panthers will be a whole new ball game for this side in Round 7.

Popular buy last week Jack Johns reverted to the bench on game day, scoring just 32 points.

Panthers: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Izack Tago 4. Stephen Crichton 5. Brian To’o 6. Jarome Luai 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Mitch Kenny 10. Matt Eisenhuth 11. Scott Sorensen 12. Zac Hosking 13. Isaah Yeo 14. Soni Luke 15. Lindsay Smith 16. Spencer Leniu 17. Jaeman Salmon 18. Tyrone Peachey 19. Jack Cogger 20. Liam Martin 21. Luke Garner 22. Thomas Jenkins

Analysis: Penrith are absolutely hummmmming!

The rapid flow of NRL points is naturally equating to Supercoach points.

Brian To’o notched his first tonne of the season with 112 against Manly, he now gets the key match up on the edge against Marzew which bodes well.

I can’t wait to see this pair go toe-to-toe.

Despite the Panther’s putting 44 points on, Sunia Turuva notched just 32 points which was luckily scaled to 44 after updates.

With games over the next month against the Knights, Rabbitohs, Tigers and Warriors I’m happy to hold and play in the meantime, I think there’s more cash to be made.

Particularly with the likes of Alamoti, AKP, Warbrick being higher priority sells in coming weeks.

Nathan Cleary, 150 points, owned by around half of all Supercoaches, get him in ASAP!

There’s no room for him at fullback due to being such a stacked position, but shout out to Dylan Edwards, four tries, 163 points, yew!

There’d be some extremely happy Draft owners.

Last week’s most purchased player Zac Hosking scored 61 points, largely in base with 29 tackles and 15 runs to go with three offloads.

Liam Martin and Luke Garner have been named on the extended bench as they eye returns from injury.

Soni Luke finally got the minutes, playing 54 minutes for 59 points to sit very cheap this week with a negative breakeven. He looks a terrific buy.

TITANS v BRONCOS

Saturday, 7.35pm, Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast

Titans: 1. Jayden Campbell 2. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 3. Brian Kelly 4. Aaron Schoupp 5. Phillip Sami 6. Kieran Foran 7. Tanah Boyd 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Chris Randall 10. Tino Fa’asuamaleaui 11. David Fifita 12. Joe Stimson 13. Isaac Liu 14. Kruise Leeming 15. Erin Clark 16. Jo Vuna 17. Iszac Fa’asumaleaui 18. Klese Haas 19. Jojo Fifita 20. Thomas Mikaele 21. Thomas Weaver 22. Sam McIntyre

Analysis: Alofiana Khan-Periera has highs, and some very low, lows.

Unfortunately, he dished the latter against the Dragons, scoring just 16 points.

With a tonne in his rolling average, he’s a hold for one more week with one more decent price rise to come with a breakeven of 5, barring another big score.

David Fifita continues to score well and was an inch from scoring which would have given him a three-figure score.

Iszac Fa’asuamaleaui was popular last week, only to score 18 points. Barring injuries, he looks to have been a trap and may hover as another frustrating bottom dollar FRF.

Tanah Boyd has picked up his game with a 3RA of about 50 and is starting to make some cash.

There’s no spot for him at halfback with Cleary and Nicho the priorities, but some owners may be able to hold a touch longer at hooker. Regardless, he’s probably a sell.

Kieran Foran returns which is good news for AKP and Fifita.

Broncos: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Jesse Arthars 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo 6. Ezra Mam 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Corey Jensen 9. Billy Walters 10. Payne Haas 11. Kurt Capewell 12. Jordan Riki 13. Patrick Carrigan 14. Cory Paix 15. Keenan Palasia 16. Kobe Hetherington 17. Martin Taupau 18. Jordan Pereira 19. Brendan Piakura 20. Brendan Frei 21. Jock Madden 22. Xavier Willison

Analysis: Despite the defeat to the Raiders, Reece Walsh knocked out another strong score of 86.

Decision time looms though with Latrell Mitchell reminding us of his heights on the weekend.

Walsh is likely a hold for at least one more week with a nice match-up against the leaky Titans, then we can make a call on whether he’s a hold or not.

Not a lot to note elsewhere with Payne Haas and Selwyn Cobbo scoring well.

RAIDERS v DRAGONS

Sunday, 2pm, GIO Stadium, Canberra

Raiders: 1. Sebastian Kris 2. Nick Cotric 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Matthew Timoko 5. Albert Hopoate 6. Jack Wighton 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Josh Papalii 9. Zac Woolford 10. Joseph Tapine 11. Hudson Young 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. Corey Horsburgh 14. Tom Starling 15. Emre Guler 16. Pasami Saulo 17. Corey Harawira-Naera 18. Harley Smith-Shields 19. Trey Mooney 20. Peter Hola 21. James Schiller 22. Brad Schneider

Analysis: Joe Tapine returns after being a late scratching against the Broncos for owners.

There’s still not a heap of Supercoach relevance here, Jarrod Croker scored 40 on return to the top grade and is kicking goals.

If he scores well this week and looks to lock down a spot, he may be a cheapie option at $280k.

Dragons: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Mathew Feagai 3. Moses Suli 4. Zac Lomax 5. Tautau Moga 6. Talatau Amone 7. Ben Hunt 8. Zane Musgrove 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Blake Lawrie 11. Ben Murdoch-Masila 12. Jaydn Su’A 13. Jack Bird 14. Moses Mbye 15. Jack de Belin 16. Toby Couchman 17. Josh Kerr 18. Michael Molo 19. Max Feagai 20. Jayden Sullivan 21. Jaiyden Hunt 22. Viliami Fifita

Analysis: Minimal to speak of here due to the fact that while Ben Hunt continues to score well with 88 points, I don’t think there’s room for him as a POD at halfback.

Tyrell Sloan’s rollercoaster season continued with just 15 points…

EELS v BULLDOGS

Sunday, 4.05pm, CommBank Stadium, Sydney

Eels: 1. Clinton Gutherson 2. Maika Sivo 3. Viliami Penisini 4. Sean Russell 5. Haze Dunster 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Junior Paulo 11. Shaun Lane 12. Bryce Cartwright 13. Ryan Matterson 14. J’maine Hopgood 15. Brendan Hands 16. Wiremu Greig 17. Makahesi Makatoa 18. Jakob Arthur 19. Matt Doorey 20. Ofahiki Ogden 21. Jack Murchie 22. Waqa Blake

Analysis: Mitch Moses tonned up against the Tigers, but realistically as halfback only he won’t be an option until the Origin period.

Dylan Brown on the other hand becomes even more relevant since the cruel and likely season-ending knee injury to Adam Doueihi.

After a hot start to the season, Brown is beginning to bottom out in price with a three-round average in the mid-50s.

Parramatta’s upcoming draw is good against the Dogs, Broncos, Knights, Titans, Sea Eagles and Dolphins.

Playing all three major bye rounds, Brown will be popular in coming weeks.

Ryan Matterson is averaging mid-70 minutes and 72 points per game and looks a terrific pick up at 2RF.

Junior Paulo’s return may impact his game time, but he showed he can be fairly elite even in restricted minutes last year where he averaged 66 in 56 minutes.

J’maine Hopgood played 52 minutes off the bench for 48 points.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think he’s probably a hold, more so for overall players than head-to-head.

He’ll still continue to score well and with any injuries in games, he’ll find himself getting greater time.

He has attacking upside, and most importantly will prove invaluable on the three major bye weeks.

There’s obviously no harm in selling, but I think I’ll hold tight.

Cheapie hopeful Haze Dunster at $235k scored just 7 points!

Bulldogs: 1. Hayze Perham 2. Jacob Kiraz 3. Jake Averillo 4. Paul Alamoti 5. Braidon Burns 6. Matt Burton 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Max King 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Tevita Pangai Junior 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Jacob Preston 13. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 14. Josh Reynolds 15. Jayden Okunbor 16. Corey Waddell 17. Ryan Sutton 19. Karl Oloapu 20. Jackson Topine 21. Samuel Hughes 22. Declan Casey 23. Andrew Davey

Analysis: The Doggies have numerous forwards returning which will bolster the entire team.

Reed Mahoney is ticking along solid with 70 on the weekend, however a move to Soni Luke to free up a tonne of cash might be the play, especially for any non Nicho or Cleary owners.

Jacob Preston only managed 34 points, but that included -16 worth along with the sinbin that kept him out for 10 minutes.

I think he’s a hold and surely can’t be the biggest issue in your side.

Jacob Kiraz finally had a down score of 51, by his standards that is. With a high breakeven, non-owners should prepare to pounce on him.

The Dogs do have two tough fixtures coming up against the Eels and Sharks, before the draw softens with the Dragons, Raiders, Warriors and Titans.

Paul Alamoti scored just 11 points and can be moved on before he drops major cash.

Braidon Burns replaces the injured Josh Addo-Carr, in a blow for those hoping cheapie Jeral Skelton would be named on the wing.
