Here’s our NRL SuperCoach wrap up for Round 18! We’ll look at SuperCoach performances from Broncos vs Sharks, Eels vs Panthers, Bulldogs vs Storm, and Cowboys vs Sea Eagles.
Brisbane Broncos
In a Herculean effort for the Broncos in round 18 prop Josh McGuire scored a massive 108 in an 80-minute performance.
He made 55 tackles, five tackle breaks, two offloads, a line break and scored 29 from hit-ups.
That’s two great scores in a row for McGuire and he’ll be easy to upgrade to a stud 2RF or FRF after he’s played a couple more games.
Josh Hoffman had another massive game scoring a try, breaking seven tackles, making two line breaks and picking up 33 points from hit ups for a total score of 89.
Cheap option Corey Oates scored a try with a line break for a great score of 65.
Alex Glenn played the full 80 minutes and scored 60 on the back of 27 tackles and 32 from hit-ups. Jordan Kahu played his first game since Round 13 and jagged a try on his way to a handy score of 55.
Scott Prince scored 54 thanks to 12 from goal kicking, 22 tackles, two offloads and a line break assist. David Stagg played 80 minutes in his first game since Round 10 and made 41 tackles for a score of 52.
Lachlan Maranta scored a total of 20 points, 20 of which came from hit-ups.
Fullback Corey Norman was quiet with a score of only 30. Lama Tasi played his first game for the Broncos but only saw 23 minutes on the field for a score of 34.
Cronulla Sharks
Todd Carney had his second 100-plus score in two weeks, putting an absolute clinic on the Broncos to the tune of 112 points.
He picked up three try assists, 12 from goal kicking, eight tackle breaks, two line breaks and a line-break assist.
Michael Gordon played his first game since 13 and rewarded his patient owners with a score of 78 which included a try, seven tackle breaks, two line breaks and 30 from hit ups.
Unfortunately he didn’t retake the goal-kicking duties from Todd Carney.
Jayson Bukuya played 80 minutes and had his second good score in a row with 72 points. He scored a try and made 43 tackles.
Cheap option Tyrone Peachey (68 minutes) and Ben Ross (43 minutes) were both good with scores of 60. Peachey could be in for a good run over the next month or so thanks to the injuries to Wade Graham and Paul Gallen.
Chris Heighington played 65 minutes and was OK with a score of 49 (his owners were definitely hoping for more, though). Sosaia Feki scored a try and finished on a respectable score of 47.
Wade Graham played only 12 minutes before suffering a shoulder injury.
He scored only 20 and is set to spend at least a few weeks on the sideline. Mark Taufua played his first game for 2013 but only saw 20 minutes off the bench for a score of 15.
Jeff Robson surprised no one with a score of 20. Stewart Mills played in the centres but was quiet for a score of 27.
Hookers John Morris (32 minutes) and Isaac De Gois (48 minutes) once again negated each other and scored 32 and 37 respectively.
Parramatta Eels
The Eels had a new look line up in Round 18 and Daniel Harrison was their best, scoring 63 in 66 minutes which included 41 tackles.
Joseph Paulo (who was named to play in reserve grade) played 55 minutes off the bench for a score of 60 thanks to 37 tackles, two offloads and 15 from hit ups.
Darcy Lussick had his fourth solid score in a row with 57 in 61 minutes.
Cheap option Brayden Williams scored a season-high 56 on the back of a try and a line break.
Reni Maitua played the full 80 minutes and made 22 tackles and a line break for 55 points.
Tim Mannah scored 54 (almost entirely from tackles and hit ups) in his usual 51 minutes.
Centre Ryan Morgan had a try assist and a line break assist on his way to a score of 53. Luke Kelly scored 48 (his highest since Round 9) thanks largely to a try and two forced drop outs.
Junior Paulo saw just 14 minutes off the bench for a score of 19. Willie Tonga played his first game for 2013 and was invisible with a score of 25.
Peni Terepo (32 minutes) and Kaysa Pritchard (21 minutes) scored only 25.
Semi Radradra made his debut on the wing but didn’t impress with a score of 24. Jake Mullaney’s horror run continued with him scoring only 32.
Ben Roberts played the game at five-eighth but could only muster a total score of 32.
Penrith Panthers
Another week, another dose of huge SuperCoach scores from the over-achieving Panthers.
Their best was Kevin Kingston who played 80 minutes and scored a season high 97 thanks to a try, 50 tackles, seven tackle breaks and a line break.
David Simmons scored two tries with two line breaks for a score of 87. His season continues to be surprisingly brilliant.
Dean Whare scored well again with 64 points which included a try assist, 21 tackles, four tackle breaks and a line break assist.
Tim Grant played 38 minutes (down from his season average of 51.7) and was OK with 49 points. Clint Newton started in the back row and played 68 minutes for a solid score of 47. Luke Walsh and Nigel Plum (44 minutes) were OK with scores of 45.
That’s Plum’s lowest score since round 10.
Isaac John’s poor scoring continued with him finishing on 21 points. James Segeyaro played only 44 minutes and scored a season low 23. Second rower Matt Robinson played 41 minutes and was quiet with a score of 23.
Lewis Brown started but played only 51 minutes for a disappointing 27. Matt Moylan didn’t do much and scored 27.
James Roberts couldn’t back up his monster round 17 performance and scored only 28.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
The Bulldogs lit up an under strength Storm team in Round 18 and produced some amazing SuperCoach scores in the process.
Centre Tim Lafai was unstoppable and scored 118 on the back of a try, try assist, eight tackle breaks, three line breaks and 30 from hit-ups.
Ben Barba scored a season-high 105 which included a try, four line breaks and two line break assists.
His price will have sky-rocketed after his next two games.
Krisnan Inu scored a season high 99 thanks to a try assist, eight tackle breaks, two line breaks, a line break assist and 22 from hit ups.
Mitch Brown rewarded his owners with two tries, a line break and a line break assist for a score of 88.
Sam Perrett got in on the action with a hat-trick of tries for a season high score of 84.
Trent Hodkinson scored a great 77 which included two try assists, 23 tackles and two line break assists. His goal kicking has been unusually wayward over the last fortnight.
Tony Williams played 80 minutes and scored a season high 75 on the back of a try, line break and line break assist. Aiden Tolman was his typical self with a good score of 60 in 60 minutes.
Josh Reynolds was solid with a score of 57 thanks to a try assist, line break assist and a 40/20.
After two good games Dene Halatau returned to an afterthought, seeing just 27 minutes off the bench for a paltry 17 points. Martin Taupa played a mere 10 minutes off the bench for a score of 19.
Tim Browne (33 minutes) and Greg Eastwood (41 minutes) weren’t impressive with scores of 26.
Josh Jackson played 59 minutes but didn’t score well with just 41 points. James Graham made it three pedestrian scores in a row with only 41 points in 57 minutes.
Melbourne Storm
Ouch. The Storm were belted by the Bulldogs in round 18 and failed to score a single point which badly affected their SuperCoach scores.
Tohu Harris played 80 minuted and scored an OK 54 on the back of 35 tackles and 16 from hit ups.
Kevin Proctor also played 80 minutes and scored 50 which included 34 tackles.
Jesse Bromwich scored 48 almost entirely from base stats in 46 minutes. Ryan Hinchcliffe made 32 tackles in 65 minutes for a score of 42.
Cheap option Slade Griffin played 41 minutes off the bench and was solid with a score of 39. Mitch Garbutt (32 minutes) and Jordan McLean (22 minutes) chipped in handy bye-round scores of 32.
Brett Finch was horrible with a grand total of 10 points. Ben Hampton played fullback in his second game for the season and scored only 17.
Sisa Waqa scored a season low 18. Mahe Fonua played his first game since Round 10 and finished on a measly 19 points.
Justin O]’Neill played in the centres but was quiet with a score of 23. Maurice Blair filled in at five-eighth which curbed his high scoring ways. He finished on a disappointing 32 points.
