Wests Tigers woes have gone from bad to worse with star fullback Jahream Bula ruled out for 3-4 weeks due to a shoulder injury. <\/p>\n
Bula will join Kai Pearce-Paul on the sidelines this week with the star second-rower out due to a failed HIA. <\/p>\n
Captain Api Koroisau is also ruled out for the next three weeks following a suspension for his hip drop on Noah Martin.<\/p>\n
SUPERCOACH WINNERS FROM TEAMS<\/p>\n
* Ativalu Lisati – The popular cheapie has been catapulted straight into the starting side on return from a calf injury. Big tick for owners and prospective owners. <\/p>\n
* Jonathan Sua – The top cheapie has been named on the Canterbury wing yet again and is set for a $40K price rise after this week. Job security is decent – Sua retains a spot even with Enari Tuala (hamstring) back. Tuala has been named on the other wing in place of Marcelo Montoya (dropped). Jacob Kiraz (knee) remains sidelined and could push for Sua\u2019s spot, although there is no solid timeframe on Kiraz\u2019s return. <\/p>\n
* Matt Dufty – Named for his third game and predicted by SC Plus to rise by almost $100K. While assured at least one more week, his job security is questionable going forward with Jye Gray (shoulder) to return at any time.<\/p>\n
* Simi Sasagi – Named to return from a hamstring injury and has been switched into the starting edge spot vacated by the injured Noah Martin (ankle, indefinite). Sasagi will need to pass a fitness test later in the week.<\/p>\n
* Saxon Pryke – The third most popular buy of the week has been named safely on the Eels bench. Predicted to rise by almost $50K after this week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
* Xavier Willison – The most popular buy of the week has switched from lock to edge following Pat Carrigan\u2019s return from suspension. This means less work but he should play 80 minutes. <\/p>\n
* Brandon Smith – Named on an extended bench despite playing just 13 minutes last week due to a calf injury. He shouldn\u2019t be out for long, if at all. <\/p>\n
* Hugo Peel – Star youngster named for his NRL debut at the Storm. Job security isn\u2019t great though with Xavier Coates (Achilles) due back next week. <\/p>\n
* Siosifa Talakai – The popular mid-range money-maker was expected to lose his centre spot to Jesse Ramien (knee). But Ramien is nowhere to be seen so Talakai should get at least one more big price rise. <\/p>\n
* Reece Walsh and Kalyn Ponga – Fullback guns have been named to return from injury.<\/p>\n
SUPERCOACH LOSERS FROM TEAMS<\/p>\n
* Noah Martin – Sent for surgery on both his ankles and ruled out indefinitely. <\/p>\n
* Francis Manuleleua – Last week\u2019s most popular cheapie has been dropped to 19th man, with Dylan Lucas (throat) back weeks early. <\/p>\n
* Jesse Colquhoun – Benched by the Sharks with Cameron McInnes back into the starting side after returning from an ACL injury last week. <\/p>\n
* Ryan Couchman – On the bye but still a valid downgrade option this week. Scored 52 in 80 minutes after switching to the edge last week.<\/p>\n
* Kade Reed – Last week\u2019s popular cheapie is also on the bye. Keep him up your sleeve for a Round 11 purchase.<\/p>\n
