Teamlist Tuesday Analysis - 2016 NRL Round 25

Sam Bourke looks at all the ins and outs, plus all the fantasy footy studs and duds for NRL Round 25.

1. William Hopoate 2. Brett Morris 3. Josh Morris 4. Kerrod Holland 5. Curtis Rona 6. Josh Reynolds 7. Moses Mbye 8. Aiden Tolman 9. Michael Lichaa 10. James Graham 11. Josh Jackson 12. Greg Eastwood 13. David Klemmer
Interchange: 14. Danny Fualalo 15. Tim Browne 16. Tony Williams 17. Raymond Faitala-Mariner

In - Danny Fualalo

Out - Sam Kasiano

Analysis - Canterbury return to their spiritual home ground at Belmore, where they host the Cowboys in a game which will likely decide who will finish in the Top 4 for 2016. The Bulldogs were simply awful in the second half against Brisbane last start and will need to improve drastically if they are to defeat the defending premiers. Sam Kasiano has accepted the early guilty plea for his kick out at Corey Parker's face and will not return until Week 1 of finals, with Danny Fualalo replacing him on the bench.

Supercoach Studs -James Graham (64) continues to bust out the solid scores and will be up for a big game against the Cowboys Australian front row combination of James Tamou and Matt Scott.

Supercoach Duds - Brett Morris (36) managed to find the stripe in the first half but as the Dogs had no ball, he saw none of it in the second half. Moses Mbye (51) kept the kicking duties and will be the key in this match if the Dogs are to finally find form. 

1. Lachlan Coote 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Justin O'Neill 4. Kane Linnett 5. Antonio Winterstein 6. Michael Morgan 7. Johnathan Thurston 8. Matthew Scott 14. Rory Kostjasyn 10. James Tamou 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Ethan Lowe 13. Jason Taumalolo
Interchange: 18. Jake Granville 15. Coen Hess 16. Scott Bolton 17. Patrick Kaufusi

In - Matt Scott

Out - Ben Spina

Analysis - The Cowboys bounced back against the Warriors and now face a must win match up against fellow Top 4 contenders the Bulldogs at Belmore Sports Ground. Matt Scott returns to the starting line up in a huge boost against the big Bulldogs pack. The Cowboys head into this match up with plenty of confidence having handed the Bulldogs a 36-0 thrashing only 5 weeks ago.

Supercoach Studs - Jonathan Thurston (116) was back to his best against the Warriors and returns to Belmore for the first time since he left the club in 2004. Michael Morgan (90) has been an outstanding point of difference in the last 2 weeks. Jason Taumalolo (91) has scored over 60pts for the last 5 weeks.  

Supercoach Duds - Ethan Lowe (49) hit the skids after averaging 77pts in the last 5 weeks. He is obviously a risk in a head to head final given he relies on attacking stats to inflate his score.

1. Cameron Munster 2. Suliasi Vunivalu 3. Will Chambers 4. Ryan Morgan 5. Marika Koroibete 6. Blake Green 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Cameron Smith 10. Tim Glasby 11. Kenneath Bromwich 12. Tohu Harris 13. Dale Finucane
Interchange: 14. Felise Kaufusi 21. Jordan McLean 16. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 17. Ben Hampton

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - Melbourne have named the same 17 that dismantled the Sea Eagles at Brookvale on Saturday night. They now head home to AAMI Park where they host fierce rivals the Broncos in what promises to be an absolute blockbuster. The Storm can wrap up the Minor Premiership with a win.  

Supercoach Studs - Suliasi Vunivalu (145) scored 4 tries in the first half, to take his tally to 21 tries in his rookie year! Cameron Smith (113), Cameron Munster (90) and Tohu Harris (68) are all must haves. Cooper Cronk (109) scored his highest score of the year in a man of the match performance.

Supercoach Duds - Jesse Bromwich (47) continues to score poorly and now relies on attacking stats to boost his score. It is tough to pick him in the 17 right now.  Will Chambers (27) has been a keeper in the past, but is struggling for form since returning from injury. 

1. Darius Boyd 2. Corey Oates 3. Tom Opacic 4. James Roberts 5. Jordan Kahu 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Josh McGuire 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Adam Blair 11. Sam Thaiday 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Jarrod Wallace 15. Tevita Pangai Junior 16. Jai Arrow 17. Alex Glenn

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Broncos stepped up last week when it counted against the Bulldogs and now have a huge chance to make a late play for the Top 4 if they can get the win away from home. Brisbane have made no changes and their forward pack will need to pick up where they left off last week.  

Supercoach Studs - Sam Thaiday (96) has been in a rich vein of form in attack but is not Supercoach relevant (he got 28pts the week before). Corey Parker (62) is the messiah, the lord and savior of Supercoach, however without the goal kicking duties he is not quite the same.  

Supercoach Duds - Anthony Milford (34) had another quiet game and it's hard to see him going big against the best defensive side on current form. 

1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Lewis Brown 4. Brad Parker 5. Brayden Wiliame 6. Matthew Wright 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Addin Fonua-blake 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. Nate Myles 11. Martin Taupau 12. Jamie Buhrer 13. Jake Trbojevic
Interchange: 14. Matt Parcell 15. Josh Starling 16. Frank Winterstein 17. Siosaia Vave

In - Api Koroisau, Dylan Walker

Out - Brad Parker

Analysis - The Sea Eagles were totally outclassed by their bitter rivals the Storm on Saturday night and now have their last match for the year at Brookvale Oval where they are looking to farewell premiership captain Jamie Lyon, who unfortunately has been ruled out for the season. Api Koroisau returns to hooker and NSW centre Dylan Walker also comes back into the side in a big boost where they host the competitions form team Canberra.   

Supercoach Studs - Jamie Buhrer (61) continues to knock up good scores and is a safe option.

Supercoach Duds - Tom Trbojevic (44) has been brilliant this season but is obviously struggling with an ankle injury and is a sell now Manly are out of contention.  

1. Jack Wighton 2. Edrick Lee 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Jordan Rapana 20. Sam Williams 7. Aidan Sezer 8. Paul Vaughan 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Shannon Boyd 11. Josh Papalii 12. Elliot Whitehead 13. Iosia Soliola
Interchange: 14. Kurt Baptiste 15. Luke Bateman 16. Clay Priest 17. Joseph Tapine

In - Josh Hodgson, Paul Vaughan, Edrick Lee

Out - Adam Clydesdale, Junior Paulo

Analysis - Canberra notched up their seventh win on the trot against the Eels despite trailing 18-4 at halftime. Captain Jarrod Croker was simply outstanding scoring a try and setting up 3 of Brenko Lee's 4 tries. The Raiders have lost Junior Paulo for their trip to Brookvale, who is replaced by Paul Vaughan. Josh Hodgson returns from his one week suspension in a huge boost for the competitions in form side.      

Supercoach Studs - Jarrod Croker (128) as mentioned was electric in the second half and was a very popular captain choice.  Joey Leilua (73) has also been sensational this season and is a keeper all day. Josh Papalii (66) is a solid point of difference averaging 68pts in his last five matches, if he can jag a try he can go big.

Supercoach Duds - Jordan Rapana (22) was a popular pick up last week but unfortunately all the action was on the left hand side.  

1. Jarryd Hayne 2. Anthony Don 3. Josh Hoffman 4. Konrad Hurrell 5. Nene Macdonald 6. Tyrone Roberts 7. Ashley Taylor 16. Agnatius Paasi 9. Nathan Peats 10. Ryan James 11. Zeb Taia 12. Chris McQueen 13. Greg Bird
Interchange: 8. Luke Douglas 15. Ryan Simpkins 16. Leivaha Pulu 17. Nathan Friend

In - Ash Taylor

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Titans face the Panthers in what is shaping as another semi-final preview two weeks out from the finals. A win here for the Titans in front of their home fans will put them in the box seat for a finals appearance in 2016. Star half Ash Taylor returns to halfback after being rested last week, which sees Jarryd Hayne move to his preferred fullback position. This sees David Mead move to the extended bench.   

Supercoach Studs - Ryan James (113) had an enormous first half, scoring 2 tries and has had a breakout year in the front row. Konrad Hurrell (76) was at his tackle busting best and is still a bargain buy this week.

Supercoach Duds - Jarryd Hayne (34) was knocked out and left the field mid way through the second half against the Knights and was wrapped in cotton wool. This week sees Hayne move to his preferred fullback position 2 weeks out from the finals. Will we see the Hayne Plane of old?

1. Matt Moylan 2. Josh Mansour 3. Waqa Blake 4. Tyrone Peachey 5. Dallin Watene Zelezniak 6. Bryce Cartwright 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Leilani Latu 9. Peter Wallace 10. Suaia Matagi 11. Isaah Yeo 12. James Fisher-Harris 13. Trent Merrin
Interchange: 14. Sitaleki Akauola 15. Regan Campbell-Gillard 16. Chris Grevsmuhl 17. Zak Hardaker

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Panthers are unchanged from the side that thrashed the Tigers and propelled themselves into the Top 8. A win here and Penrith can just about stamp their ticket in a semi final rehearsal against the Titans.  

Supercoach Studs - Bryce Cartwright (115) scored a try and was outstanding for the Panthers. He looks set to remain a five-eighth for the rest of the season at this point in time, with Te Maire Martin an option in NSW Cup. Nathan Cleary (91) is a must in your 17 if you have him and is surely firming for Rookie of the Year honours. Trent Merrin (83) is a solid captain choice every week.

Supercoach Duds - Josh Mansour (45) didn't see too much ball this week but will bounce back.  Matt Moylan (48) and Tyrone Peachey (39) are certainly x-factors for those looking for unique players in their head to head this week. 

1. Ben Barba 2. Sosaia Feki 3. Jack Bird 4. Gerard Beale 5. Valentine Holmes 6. James Maloney 7. Chad Townsend 8. Andrew Fifita 9. Michael Ennis 10. Matt Prior 11. Luke Lewis 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen
Interchange: 14. Joseph Paulo 15. Chris Heighington 16. Jesse Sene-Lefao 17. Jayson Bukuya

In - Paul Gallen, Sosaia Feki

Out - Gerard Beale, Kurt Capewell

Analysis - The Sharks have slipped from Minor Premier morals to losing 3 matches on the trot and are in real danger of losing a home final if they continue to slide against a resurgent Roosters who are playing the part of giant killers for finals aspirants. Skipper Paul Gallen returns after missing the last 2 games, which sees Chris Heighington move back to the bench and Kurt Capewell out of the 17. Winger Sosaia Feki also returns and takes the place of Gerard Beale.   

Supercoach Studs - Andrew Fifita (84) and Wade Graham (100) tried hard in a losing side. Fifita is a good captain choice this week, as the physical Roosters pack will look to take him on.  

Supercoach Duds - Paul Gallen (DNP) has been a nightmare for Supercoach in recent weeks and lost many head to head finals for teams last week. Ben Barba (17) and Valentine Holmes (29) didn't get much open space and didn't dirty their dinner suits against the Bunnies.  

1. Blake Ferguson 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Dale Copley 4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 5. Latrell Mitchell 6. Connor Watson 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Jake Friend 10. Dylan Napa 11. Boyd Cordner 12. Aidan Guerra 13. Sio Siua Taukeiaho
Interchange: 14. Sam Moa 15. Isaac Liu 16. Ryan Matterson 17. Kane Evans

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Roosters made it 2 wins in a row, when they thrashed the Dragons by 38pts at Allianz Stadium. They now face an out of form Sharks and have a big opportunity to make amends for their slow start to the season.

Supercoach Studs - Blake Ferguson (139) went huge against the Dragons, however he was still a bit rocks and diamonds at stages throughout the game. Boyd Cordner (67) and Mitchell Pearce (97) continue to form a terrific partnership and are both good pick-ups this week.  

Supercoach Duds - Shaun Kenny-Dowall (17) didn't see much attacking options, as both Ferguson and Daniel Tupou (109) took all the spoils.  

1. David Fusitua 2. Tuimoala Lolohea 3. Blake Ayshford 4. Solomone Kata 5. Manu Vatuvei 6. Thomas Leuluai 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Jacob Lillyman 20. Issac Luke 10. Albert Vete 11. Bodene Thompson 12. Ryan Hoffman 13. Simon Mannering
Interchange: 14. Ata Hingano 15. Sam Lisone 16. Ben Matulino 17. James Gavet

In - Tui Lolohea, Solomone Kata

Out - Matt Allwood, Ken Maumalo

Analysis - The Warriors were primed to make a run towards the finals but as has become customary at this time of year, have dropped crucial games post Origin. Back to back losses against Souths and North Queensland has them sitting on the brink and they will need to fire on all cylinders when they host the Tigers on Sunday. Blockbusting outside back Solomone Kata returns to centre replacing Matt Allwood, while Tui Lolohea has won a reprieve after being dropped last week, named on the wing to replace Ken Maumalo. 

Supercoach Studs - Simon Mannering (79) is as rock solid as you can get at the moment with a three round average of 72pts and is a must in your final 17. 

Supercoach Duds - Shaun Johnson (35) produced his second lowest score of the season against the Cowboys but will need to turn it around immediately if the Warriors are to feature come September. Bodene Thompson (52) has slipped a little bit in recent weeks but if Johnson fires, expect him to benefit. Tui Lolohea (DNP) continues to haunt those that picked him up, now named on the wing, where he will need to sniff out some tries to avoid being an auto emergency nightmare. 

1. David Nofoaluma 2. Jordan Rankin 3. Tim Simona 4. Kevin Naiqama 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Mitchell Moses 7. Luke Brooks 8. Aaron Woods 9. Dene Halatau 10. Sauaso Sue 11. Josh Aloiai 17. Joel Edwards 13. Elijah Taylor
Interchange: 18. Michael Chee-Kam 15. Ava Seumanufagai 16. Tim Grant 19. Curtis Sironen

In - Nil

Out - Nil

Analysis - The Tigers really struggled to keep the pace with the Panthers and slumped to back to back losses after defeating the Cowboys just a fortnight ago. Just the one positional change with David Nofoaluma moving to fullback and Jordan Rankin shifting to the wing.

Supercoach Studs - David Nofoaluma (64) has been electric and could even get more involved at fullback, certainly been the sleeper in the outside backs late in the season.  Mitchell Moses (110) has been a revelation for the Tigers this season and will really need to step up against the Warriors Shaun Johnson.

Supercoach Duds - Jordan Rankin (14) had big shoes to fill replacing Tedesco and has been moved to the wing this week.  

1. Jake Mamo 2. Cory Denniss 3. Dane Gagai 4. Peter Mata'utia 5. Brendan Elliott 6. Jarrod Mullen 7. Trent Hodkinson 8. Sam Mataora 9. Tyler Randell 14. Josh King 11. Sione Mata'utia 12. Mitchell Barnett 13. Jeremy Smith
Interchange: 15. Daniel Saifiti 16. Jacob Saifiti 17. Pat Mata'utia 23. Dylan Phythian

In - Jarrod Mullen, Sione Mata'utia, Pat Mata'utia, Corey Denniss

Out - Danny Levi, Nathan Ross, Mickey Paea, Will Pearsall

Analysis - The Knights have Old Boys Day at Hunter Stadium where they host the Bunnies. Newcastle are a proud club and if they are to show some resolve this season this would be an appropriate time for their fans. Jarrod Mullen returns at five-eighth for youngster Will Pearsall. Cory Denniss replaces the suspended Nathan Ross on the wing. Danny Levi is replaced by Pat Mata'utia on the bench, with Sione Mata'utia returning to the back row. Korbin Sims will start at prop.

Supercoach Studs - Mitchell Barnett (99) has been a weapon since his mid season transfer from the Raiders and you would certainly give him a run if he is still in your squad.   

Supercoach Duds - Trent Hodkinson (18) has had a tough start to his career at Newcastle, will next year get any better for the former NSW halfback?  

1. Greg Inglis 2. Alex Johnston 3. Hymel Hunt 4. Aaron Gray 5. Joe Burgess 6. Cody Walker 7. Adam Reynolds 8. George Burgess 9. Damien Cook 10. Thomas Burgess 11. John Sutton 12. Kyle Turner 13. Sam Burgess
Interchange: 14. Jason Clark 16. Angus Crichton 17. Nathan Brown 17. Zane Musgrove

Out - Nil

Analysis - South Sydney have bounced back from 9 losses in a row, to make it 2 wins on the trot after defeating title contenders the Sharks in a superb performance on Monday night. Like the Roosters, the Bunnies can be a real pest for sides on the run home. A big win against the hapless Knights could see them finish the season with a bang.    

Supercoach Studs - Greg Inglis (65) will be the most popular buy this week and has potential to go huge against the Knights. Cody Walker (78) is another who could cash in this week and a certain point of difference. Sam Burgess (77) is a solid captain choice as he will be keen to end the season strongly before the end of season tests for England begin.

Supercoach Duds - Adam Reynolds (5) was concussed and left the field early. He has been named but will need to pass a fitness test to take his place.

1. Bevan French 2. Semi Radradra 3. Michael Jennings 4. Brad Takairangi 5. Michael Gordon 6. Clinton Gutherson 7. Jeff Robson 16. Peni Terepo 9. Isaac De Gois 10. Tim Mannah 11. Manu Ma'u 12. Tepai Moeroa 13. Beau Scott
Interchange: 14. Kaysa Pritchard 15. Ken Edwards 8. Danny Wicks 17. Daniel Alvaro

In - Beau Scott, Tepai Moeroa, Brad Takairangi

Out - Vai Toutai, Rory O'Brien

Analysis - The Eels came out to play at Canberra Stadium before they were overrun by a red hot Green Machine. Parramatta now return home to Pirtek Stadium for the last time before it is upgraded next year. The Eels welcome back Beau Scott, Tepai Moeroa and Brad Takairangi, which should give them a bit more firepower against rivals St George.   

Supercoach Studs - Semi Radradra (87) scored a try and set one up in an excellent return from injury. Radradra is only $313k and a superb pick up for the run home.

Supercoach Duds - Michael Gordon (29) has been moved from fullback to the wing to accommodate youngster Bevan French (40). 

1. Josh Dugan 2. Kurt Mann 3. Euan Aitken 4. Timoteo Lafai 5. Jason Nightingale 6. Gareth Widdop 7. Drew Hutchison 8. Leeson Ah Mau 9. Mitch Rein 10. Michael Cooper 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Joel Thompson 13. Jack de Belin
Interchange: 15. Tariq Sims 16. Jacob Host 17. Jake Marketo 21. Luciano Leilua

In - Tim Lafai, Drew Hutchison, Jacob Host

Out - Benji Marshall, Taane Milne, Russell Packer

Analysis - In the last game of Monday Night Football, the Dragons travel to Pirtek Stadium where they will be looking to bounce back after a pitiful performance against the Roosters on Sunday. Benji Marshall has been dropped and centre Taane Milne has accepted a one week ban for a lifting tackle. This sees youngster Drew Hutchison come in a halfback and Tim Lafai start at centre after losing his spot to Milne late in the season.  

Supercoach Studs - Jack De Belin (71) came off with 15 minutes to go, however still produced more than a point a minute and has been in career best form this season.   

Supercoach Duds - Taane Milne (24) left the field early and went very close to jagging his first NRL try, he is out this week through suspension. Euan Aitken (26) and Josh Dugan (26) also put in dud performances.
