NRL Round 11 team lists: Full squads + NRL Supercoach analysis

Magic Round has arrived for 2026, truly one of the great weekends of the NRL season.

It’s an outstanding celebration of our great game, so hopefully plenty of the Playbook faithful have the opportunity to join us up there this weekend.

Let’s cross our fingers and toes for some on-field magic in the form of an injury-free weekend of footy.

The casualty ward is beginning to stack up across the competition, with big-name Supercoach players such as Sua Fa’alogo and Simi Sasagi the latest to join the list.

We’re also one week out from the first major bye round, with half the competition on the bye, along with the announcement of State of Origin teams.

The recent injury crisis is a timely reminder that depth is key.

The ability to bank a few trades and call upon reserves when your team is tested will be vital to long-term success.

Further, the rise in injuries to key Supercoach players is gradually chipping away at our numbers for the first major bye round, so keep an eye on how you’re tracking for round 12.

The Cooma Stallions had an on-par round of 1,462 points to narrowly rise in rank, still sitting around 16k overall.

Aside from injuries that hit most teams, the costly moment was a vice-captaincy loop of James Tedesco that seemed pretty straightforward.

Unfortunately, it meant that I sat Ativalu Lisati out of my team to implement the loop; he scored a try on the final hooter to notch a century, which cost me plenty of points…

Not to worry, onwards and upwards to Magic Round!

A special mention to Greg Marzhew – whom I’m sadly not an owner of – for notching the fifth-highest score in NRL Supercoach history with 206 points against the Dragons.

Let’s take a look at the NRL Supercoach analysis of the Round 11 teams, with squad lists courtesy of Fox Sports.

SHARKS v BULLDOGS

Friday, 6pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Sharks: 1. William Kennedy 2. Samuel Stonestreet 3. Jesse Ramien 4. KL Iro 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Jayden Berrell 10. Toby Rudolf 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Jesse Colquhoun

Bench: 14. Siosifa Talakai 15. Billy Burns 16. Oregon Kaufusi 17. Thomas Hazelton 18. Hohepa Puru 19. Mawene Hiroti

Reserves: 20. Braden Hamlin-Uele 21. Riley Jones 22. Niwhai Puru

Analysis: The Sharks have an okay Origin period schedule, missing the first major bye round along with another in Round 17, which is a full NRL round.

Off the back of a poor performance against the Rabbitohs, I’d avoid buying any of their players this week.

Nicho Hynes managed just 48 with the aid of a late try assist.

He sits with a breakeven of 109, giving non-owners hope of a decent discount before picking up post bye.

Briton Nikora’s Supercoach demise has been significant; he now sits well in genuine cheapie range at $328k with a breakeven of 33.

Provided he’s getting the 80 minutes, he’s a regular 70-point averaging player in recent years.

In five games of 75+ minutes this season, he’s averaging just 47.8 points per game.

The past two weeks, he’s scored just 43 and 33 points, with a 36 base average in those games.

Remarkably, his only major attacking stat this year is a try back in round 1.

He’s yet to register a single linebreak or linebreak assist in 2026.

Despite the form, I suspect he’ll be very hard to pass up post bye, provided he does lock down the big minute role, but you’d like to see a little more from the Kiwi international. 

Jesse Ramien and Ronaldo Mulitalo return from injury, pushing Siosifa Talakai and Mawene Hiroti to the bench.

Blayke Brailey misses out this week due to a head knock, with Jayden Berrell to start at hooker.

Bulldogs: 1. Connor Tracey 2. Jonathan Sua 3. Bronson Xerri 4. Stephen Crichton 5. Enari Tuala 6. Matt Burton 7. Lachlan Galvin 8. Max King 9. Bailey Hayward 10. Leo Thompson 11. Sitili Tupouniua 12. Jacob Preston 13. Jaeman Salmon

Bench: 14. Kurt Mann 15. Samuel Hughes 16. Harry Hayes 17. Alekolasimi Jones 19. Jethro Rinakama

Reserves: 20. Lipoi Hopoi 21. Josh Curran 22. Sean O’Sullivan 23. Jed Reardon

Analysis: The Bulldogs don’t have a bye until Round 15, which is then followed by another in Round 18, making them relevant to that point.

Leo Thompson was able to back up his strong score, knocking out 69 points, which came entirely in base and power.

At $560k, I prefer others, but he is scoring well with decent game time.

There’s very little interest at the Doggies at the moment, with Jacob Preston a strong chance at Origin selection and Sitili Tupouniua and Josh Curran unable to lock down consistent roles with any buyer confidence.

RABBITOHS v DOLPHINS

Friday, 8:05pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Rabbitohs: 1. Jye Gray 2. Bayleigh Bentley-Hape 3. Latrell Mitchell 4. Campbell Graham 5. Edward Kosi 6. Cody Walker 7. Ashton Ward 8. Keaon Koloamatangi 9. Bronson Garlick 10. Sean Keppie 11. Euan Aitken 12. Tallis Duncan 13. Cameron Murray

Bench: 14. Matthew Dufty 15. Lachlan Hubner 16. Tevita Tatola 17. Adam Elliott 18. Jayden Sullivan 19. Latrell Siegwalt

Reserves: 20. Moala Graham-Taufa 21. Thomas Fletcher 22. Peter Mamouzelos

Analysis: The Rabbitohs have a great Origin period bye schedule, provided you’re not an actual Origin player.

They play all three major bye rounds and miss two mini bye rounds.

Latrell Mitchell has been named, but remains in doubt to face the Dolphins with a back concern.

Regardless, he’s a sell next week as he’ll miss a stack of games over the Origin period, or this week if ruled out.

Alex Johnston continued his try-scoring influx despite having no Latrell Mitchell inside him, scoring 113 points against the Sharks.

He’s unavailable this week due to injury.

Latrell Seigwalt was the man putting it on a platter for him at centre.

The debutant scored 92 points on debut and looked an absolute sharp-shooter with the boot.

He’s bottom dollar at just $201k and will be a huge watch this week, although his halfback-fullback positioning is a little annoying for Supercoach purposes.

Matt Dufty played 10 minutes off the bench for 4 points.

I’d be a little reluctant to invest in any Bunnies assets this week, with the likes of Latrell, Cam Murray, Keaon Koloamatangi, and potentially Campbell Graham on track for Origin selection.

Reassess next week once Origin teams are revealed.

Dolphins: 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Jack Bostock 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Isaiya Katoa 8. Thomas Flegler 9. Max Plath 10. Francis Molo 11. Connelly Lemuelu 12. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki 13. Morgan Knowles

Bench: 14. Jeremy Marshall-King 15. Ray Stone 16. Tom Gilbert 17. Felise Kaufusi 18. Oryn Keeley 19. Brad Schneider

Reserves: 20. Trai Fuller 21. Tevita Naufahu 22. Kurt Donoghoe

Analysis: The Dolphins have the best Origin period draw in Supercoach, playing all three major bye rounds, missing just one minor in Round 13.

They’re running hot and will be heavily invested in over the next fortnight.

Jamayne Isaako had a big score coming; unfortunately for non-owners, it came a week or two before most were set to jump on.

Congratulations to all who did own for his 178-point masterclass against the Bulldogs.

At $762k with a breakeven of 11, it’s probably now or never for the goal-kicking flyer, and with the Dolphins attack hitting its straps, there’s likely to be plenty more good scores incoming.

Jack Bostock backed up his strong score on return from injury, knocking out 80 points with a try, try-assist, and two linebreak assists.

At $506k with a breakeven of -17, he’s a solid buy, but I’d much prefer the likes of Isaako or Marzhew, provided, of course, you have the spare cash.

With so many high-priced guns getting injured, I’d imagine most will be able to find that extra cash.

The big watch this week on his move to centre in 2026 was whether or not he could back up his huge base and power stats from last round.

They dropped fairly significantly from 54 points to just 35 points, which is okay, but not great.

There could be plenty of value opportunities next week on a number of Dolphins as they inevitably lose a few players to Origin duties.

TIGERS v SEA EAGLES

Saturday, 3pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Tigers: 1. Heath Mason 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Patrick Herbert 4. Taylan May 5. Luke Laulilii 6. Jarome Luai 7. Jock Madden 8. Terrell May 9. Latu Fainu 10. Fonua Pole 11. Sione Fainu 12. Kai Pearce-Paul 13. Alex Twal

Bench: 14. Tristan Hope 15. Mavrik Geyer 16. Alex Seyfarth 17. Royce Hunt 18. Ethan Roberts 19. Jeral Skelton

Reserves: 20. Charlie Murray

Analysis: While missing the first major bye round, the Tigers boast one of the best Origin period draws, missing just one game.

Following two heavy defeats, I’d likely avoid investing this week due to the bye, along with their cruel injury toll, but it is worth flagging a few players.

Kai Pearce-Paul repaid the faith of those who held with 83 points, including a monumental EIGHT offloads in the loss to Melbourne.

His only major attacking stat in the past month was a linebreak assist, so there’s more to come from the rangy Englishman.

Taylan May exploded with 147 points, which included two tries, three linebreaks, and a whopping 10 tacklebreaks. 

The Storm struggled to tackle him; he’s a big watch again this week at $661k with a breakeven of 30.

His 43 the week prior means his price won’t skyrocket, so wait until Round 13 if keen.

Sea Eagles: 1. Clayton Faulalo 2. Jason Saab 3. Tolutau Koula 4. Reuben Garrick 5. Lehi Hopoate 6. Luke Brooks 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Jake Simpkin 10. Ethan Bullemor 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Ben Trbojevic 13. Jake Trbojevic

Bench: 14. Zach Dockar-Clay 15. Nathan Brown 16. Kobe Hetherington 17. Jackson Shereb 18. Blake Wilson 19. Joey Walsh

Reserves: 20. Josh Feledy 21. Simione Laiafi 22. Aaron Schoupp

Analysis: A rejuvenated Manly are four wins on the trot and have a great Origin period schedule, playing all mini bye rounds and two majors.

With the Latrell scratching, I ended up investing in fullback Tolutau Koula last week.

At least I thought he was the fullback…

After two games in the No.1 jumper, he was again named at fullback on the final team list.

Unfortunately, he lined up at centre, with Clayton Faulalo of all people the man to shift to the back.

Koula still scored a decent 67 points and remains a decent buy, but he’s certainly less appealing when not playing fullback, despite still playing a roaming role.

Jamal Fogarty returns at halfback, meaning Joey Walsh falls off the cheapie radar at $235k with a breakeven of -50.

He’s averaging 64 points across his opening two games.

ROOSTERS v COWBOYS

Saturday, 5:30pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Roosters: 1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Hugo Savala 4. Robert Toia 5. Cody Ramsey 6. Daly Cherry-Evans 7. Sam Walker 8. Naufahu Whyte 9. Reece Robson 10. Lindsay Collins 11. Angus Crichton 12. Siua Wong 13. Connor Watson

Bench: 14. Egan Butcher 15. Spencer Leniu 16. Nat Butcher 17. Salesi Foketi 18. Fetalaiga Pauga 19. Reece Foley

Reserves: 20. Benaiah Ioelu 21. Taylor Losalu 22. Junior Tupou

Analysis: The Roosters don’t have a great Origin period schedule, playing just the one major bye in Round 15; however, they do cover the three mini byes, which is valuable.

A match-up with the Cowboys appeals, provided you’re comfortable enough with numbers next week, you could invest this week.

With a five-round average of 113, James Tedesco again looms as a fairly straightforward vice-captaincy play this week.

Cody Ramsey is a decent cheapie play this week, although finding cash shouldn’t be too hard for coaches.

He failed to record an attacking stat against the Titans, but still knocked out a respectable 47 points with an outstanding 42 points in base thanks to 24 runs.

Rob Toia would be of interest, but with Origin looming, there are better options.

Embed from Getty Images

Cowboys: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Braidon Burns 3. Jaxon Purdue 4. Tomas Chester 5. Zac Laybutt 6. Liam Sutton 7. Jake Clifford 8. Thomas Mikaele 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Matthew Lodge 11. Heilum Luki 12. Sam McIntyre 13. Reuben Cotter

Bench: 14. Xavier Kerrisk 15. Griffin Neame 16. Robert Derby 17. Coen Hess 18. Wiremu Greig 19. Ethan King

Reserves: 20. Viliami Vailea 21. Mason Kira 22. Mason Barber

Analysis: The Cowboys have a strong early Origin bye period schedule, before missing the second two major byes in Round 15 and 18.

Scott Drinkwater is a close watch this week at $780k with a 77-point average.

With a breakeven of 131, he should see a nice discount leading into the first major bye.

With Tom Dearden out, Jake Clifford shifts to halfback and debutant Liam Sutton to five-eighth rather than Jaxon Purdue.

EELS v STORM

Saturday, 7:45pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Eels: 1. Joash Papali’i 2. Brian Kelly 3. Jordan Samrani 4. Sean Russell 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Ronald Volkman 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Luca Moretti 9. Tallyn Da Silva 10. Junior Paulo 11. Kelma Tuilagi 12. Jack Williams 13. Jack de Belin

Bench: 14. Dylan Walker 15. Saxon Pryke 16. Toni Mataele 17. Charlie Guymer 18. Apa Twidle 19. Teancum Brown

Reserves: 20. Harrison Edwards 21. Araz Nanva 22. Jonah Pezet

Analysis: Parramatta misses the first major bye round, then plays the next two.

On current form, you couldn’t entertain any players, but as troops return, they will likely become somewhat relevant post Round 12 bye.

The position may be short-lived, but Jordan Samrani was excellent at centre last week, scoring 112 points with 59 in base and power.

He’s one to monitor moving forward, but there’s every chance he’ll revert to a bench role at some stage.

Embed from Getty Images

Storm: 1. Sualauvi Faalogo 2. William Warbrick 3. Jack Howarth 4. Nick Meaney 5. Moses Leo 6. Cameron Munster 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Harry Grant 10. Josh King 11. Shawn Blore 12. Ativalu Lisati 13. Trent Loiero

Bench: 14. Trent Toelau 15. Cooper Clarke 16. Davvy Moale 17. Joe Chan 18. Stanley Huen 19. Preston Conn

Reserves: 20. Josiah Pahulu 21. Manaia Waitere 22. Angus Hinchey

Analysis: Melbourne doesn’t have a bye until Round 15, but they do go on to miss the last two major bye rounds.

With Origin looming for the likes of Harry Grant and Cam Munster, they’ll have a new-look side next week.

With Melbourne struggling, it enhances the prospects of their Origin contingent backing up at club level.

Ativalu Lisati tonned up against the Tigers; he remains a buy at $477k with a breakeven of -15.

He’s averaging 71 points in base and power alone and has the benefit of running off the hip of Jahrome Hughes.

At this rate, he’s likely a season keeper…

Jahrome Hughes tends to hit serious relevance at this stage of the season with no threat of Origin.

In five games during the Origin period last season, he had scores of 136, 45, 113, 58, and 101 for an average of 90.6 points.

There was one extra game, which I’ve intentionally excluded, a 32-point outing against the Gold Coast Titans.

I remember it fondly as I brought him that week, and he played the game despite being ill enough that he almost missed the game altogether.

Sua Fa’alogo has thankfully been cleared of a facial fracture and has been named to play.

TITANS v KNIGHTS

Sunday, 2pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Titans: 1. Keano Kini 2. Jenson Taumoepeau 3. Jojo Fifita 4. AJ Brimson 5. Phillip Sami 6. Jayden Campbell 7. Zane Harrison 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Oliver Pascoe 10. Tino Fa’asuamaleaui 11. Chris Randall 12. Beau Fermor 13. Cooper Bai

Bench: 14. Kurtis Morrin 15. Klese Haas 16. Josh Patston 17. Arama Hau 18. Jaylan De Groot 19. Luke Sommerton

Reserves: 20. Lachlan Ilias 21. Adam Christensen 22. Bodhi Sharpley

Analysis: The Titans play the first two major bye rounds, but don’t appeal too much on current form.

Tino Fa’asuamaleaui has returned to Supercoach form with a three-round average of 80 points per game in a vastly improved 63 minutes per game.

Unfortunately, with Origin looming, he’ll miss Round 12, 13, and 15, making him an avoid.

Oliver Pascoe started at hooker and went the full 80 minutes against the Roosters, with Sam Verrills unused on the bench.

He belted out an outstanding 81 points with 69 points in base, including 62 tackles!

He also has tackle-busting and offloading ability, making him a genuine option.

He’s priced at $346k with a breakeven of -7.

Availability in Supercoach at hooker only is the concern, as you wouldn’t move a top-line player such as Harry Grant or Blayke Brailey on, while it’s an awkward upgrade price from Brandon Smith.

Jayden Campbell is bottoming out nicely for the Origin period, currently at $648k with a breakeven of 103.

Knights: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Dominic Young 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Fletcher Sharpe 7. Dylan Brown 8. Jacob Saifiti 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Trey Mooney 11. Dylan Lucas 12. Jermaine McEwen 13. Mathew Croker

Bench: 14. Sandon Smith 15. Tyson Frizell 16. Pasami Saulo 17. Cody Hopwood 18. Harrison Graham 19. Fletcher Hunt

Reserves: 20. Francis Manuleleua 21. Kyle McCarthy 22. James Schiller

Analysis: The Knights unfortunately miss the first two major bye rounds, which is a blow, but renewed form with stars back on deck and games against the Dragons and Eels does give them plenty of relevance.

They have so much relevance in fact that I’ll be a little more brief here, tune into the SC Playbook podcast tonight for more depth.

Wingers Greg Marzhew and Dom Young combined for an extraordinary stat line against the Dragons, recording seven tries, 12 linebreaks, 39 runs, and 11 tacklebreaks.

While I understand the Dragons match-up won’t come every week, Marzhew is simply a must; I wouldn’t get tricky.

Clashes against the Titans and Eels with a bye wedged in between don’t get much better.

With scores of 207 and 131 points, he’s at an affordable price for one more week only at $708k with a breakeven of -102.

A 90-point score this week would see him net another $150k.

If he continues to pop off in a Knights outfit with serious attacking potency, he could end seasons.

There’s also every chance that when he maxes out at onwards of $900k-$1M that, you cash him in.

I flagged Dom Young as a buy option last week at sub $500k; he remains at $495k after his 120 points against the Dragons.

He’s high-risk, high-reward, but with that draw incoming and a low breakeven of 19, it may be one worth taking.

If Newcastle played next week, I’d likely take the punt, but already eyeing Marzhew and injuries hitting, I’m a little concerned about numbers next week.

WARRIORS v BRONCOS

Sunday, 4:05pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Warriors: 1. Taine Tuaupiki 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Ali Leiataua 4. Adam Pompey 5. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 6. Chanel Harris-Tavita 7. Tanah Boyd 8. James Fisher-Harris 9. Wayde Egan 10. Mitchell Barnett 11. Leka Halasima 12. Kurt Capewell 13. Erin Clark

Bench: 14. Samuel Healey 15. Jackson Ford 16. Demitric Vaimauga 17. Jacob Laban 18. Tanner Stowers-Smith 20. Te Maire Martin

Reserves: 21. Eddie Ieremia-Toeava 22. Luke Hanson 23. Makaia Tafua

Analysis: The Warriors have an awkward draw incoming, with coverage of the first two major bye rounds, but also having byes of their own in Round 14 and 18.

I’m desperately hoping Jackson Ford’s reign of terror (to non-owners) comes to an end soon, which I’m expecting it will.

I wasn’t expecting him to get named on the bench…

With an Origin jersey up for grabs, I expect him to go nuts again this week, but if he does gain NSW selection, he’d become a sell at top dollar.

If picked, he’d miss Round 12, 14, 15, and 18, with the likelihood of reduced minutes on Origin backup.

If he misses Origin selection, non-owners will be paying a hefty price for him next week.

Lofi Khan-Pereira has hit the ground running since joining the Warriors first grade side, notching a three-round average of 90 points.

Leka Halasima has hit a mouthwatering price of $403k, but it’s for good reason.

He’s averaging 50 points per game in a very high 71 minutes per game.

His minutes were reduced to 57 against the Eels, where he scored a try with a linebreak for just 57 points.

His base of 33 is very poor, making him very reliant on attacking stats.

The ever-enticing thing with Leka the Wrecker, though, is the fact that you know attack is rarely far away…

Not for me, but boy, he’s cheap, and that Dragons match-up next week looks irresistible.

With all of Ford, Mitch Barnett, and Kurt Capewell in the running for Origin selection, the minutes should remain solid.

Broncos: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Josiah Karapani 3. Jesse Arthars 4. Gehamat Shibasaki 5. Phillip Coates 6. Ezra Mam 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Preston Riki 9. Cory Paix 10. Xavier Willison 11. Jaiyden Hunt 12. Jordan Riki 13. Patrick Carrigan

Bench: 14. Ben Hunt 15. Ben Talty 16. Va’a Semu 17. Aublix Tawha 18. Hayze Perham 19. Josh Rogers

Reserves: 20. Thomas Duffy 21. Luke Gale 22. Kane Bradley

Analysis: The Broncos have one of the worst Origin period schedules, with all three byes landing between Round 12 and 19.

They do play the second two major bye rounds, but miss the tricky minor bye rounds afterwards.

For that reason, along with the loss of Reece Walsh and Pat Carrigan at the least to Origin I’m not interested at the moment.

They do come out of Origin one week with mouth-watering games against the Dragons and Titans at Suncorp Stadium, where we can consider them.

Reece Walsh is cheap at $652k with a breakeven of 103 and could come into calculations for some short-term fullback roulette in that period.

Xavier Willison scored just 35 points in 80 minutes against the Sea Eagles, sitting at $633k with a breakeven of 100.

I’d hold one more week having been shifted back to prop, then reassess whether to hold or cut ties next week.

Phillip Coates debuts in place of last week’s debutant Antonio Verhoeven.

PANTHERS v DRAGONS

Sunday, 6:25pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Panthers: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Thomas Jenkins 3. Paul Alamoti 4. Casey McLean 5. Brian To’o 6. Blaize Talagi 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Freddy Lussick 10. Lindsay Smith 11. Isaiah Papali’i 12. Luke Garner 13. Isaah Yeo

Bench: 14. Jack Cogger 15. Scott Sorensen 16. Liam Henry 17. Izack Tago 18. Billy Phillips 19. Billy Scott

Reserves: 20. Jack Cole 21. Sione Fonua 22. Luron Patea

Analysis: Penrith have an excellent bye period schedule for their Origin contingent, with byes in two major bye rounds.

However, I also suspect that with their ladder position, Ivan Cleary will rest Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo, Brian To’o, and whoever else plays Origin very quickly.

As with Newcastle, there is so much relevance with Penrith that I’ll keep it a little more brief in here and save it for the podcast.

The thing is, the relevance is mainly for the upcoming week with a match-up against the Dragons, which could be a bloodbath.

Nathan Cleary could score 200; it’ll take an almighty vice-captaincy score to consider looping this week.

The likes of Dylan Edwards, Tom Jenkins, Casey McLean, Paul Alamoti, and Brian To’o could erupt, but they miss plenty of action incoming.

Isaiah Papali’i remains a nice pick-up at a very affordable rate of $606, thanks to a few down weeks, before a bounce back in round 10.

He’s averaging 70 points this season with a strong 58.4 in base and power.

It’s a shame their early Origin coverage is so poor, which makes them a slightly awkward prospect to invest in.

Embed from Getty Images

Dragons: 1. Clinton Gutherson 2. Setu Tu 3. Moses Suli 4. Valentine Holmes 5. Christian Tuipulotu 6. Daniel Atkinson 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Loko Jnr Pasifiki Tonga 9. Damien Cook 10. Toby Couchman 11. Dylan Egan 12. Hamish Stewart 13. Ryan Couchman

Bench: 14. Luciano Leilua 15. Emre Guler 16. Josh Kerr 17. Blake Lawrie 18. Tyrell Sloan 19. Lyhkan King-Togia

Reserves: 20. Hayden Buchanan 21. Hame Sele 22. Haele Finau

Analysis: The Dragons play the first and third major bye rounds, however current form makes them pretty unappealing.

It’s a hard pass on anyone without the last name Couchman.

Ryan Couchman played 65 minutes off the bench last week, scoring 85 points in base and power alone in a drubbing. Incredible…

He had 42 tackles, 17 runs, three tackle-breaks, and two offloads.

Setu Tu has likely peaked at $497k with a breakeven of 29. He can be sold if needed this week, but he does cover next week.

Daniel Atkinson returns at halfback, Kade Reed drops out.
