The final full Origin round of the year is upon us, which means another chance for a bunch of cash cows who have been called up to fill the void. 

Here is everything you need to know from a Fantasy perspective about the teams named for Round 19 of the Telstra Premiership. 

NRL Fantasy teams analysis: Round 19

Wests Tigers v Sharks, Thursday at CommBank Stadium

Wests Tigers: The club's most popular Fantasy player, Jahream Bula, retains his spot at fullback and if you're one of the 31 percent who own him, don't panic trade him after last week's 15. Round 18 was the exception in terms of his scoring and he has normally had no issue still doing well in a badly beaten side. A 38 last week has Jake Simpkin on a -10 break even, meaning there is plenty more money to be made on the $339k HOK. Shawn Blore continues to perform well in Fantasy, with his 51 last week taking his last three game average to 57 per game. 

Sharks: With Dale Finucane sidelined for two games through suspension, Cameron McInnes (MID, $607k) gets the starting lock role. While he isn't a long-term prospect, he could be a short-term point of difference for some owners. Nicho Hynes will likely be the most popular captaincy choice this week up against the last-placed Wests Tigers.

Dragons v Raiders, Friday at WIN Stadium

Dragons: Tyrell Sloan, who is owned by a touch under 11 percent of teams, is out with a calf issue and replaced by Paul Turner at fullback. No Jack Bird again this week, and if you're among the 5 percent who still own him, get rid of him ASAP. His absence means Ben Murdoch-Masila starts in the second row again after scoring 35 last week, and with a break even of 22 he should make a little bit more cash in Round 19. 

Raiders: Canberra's best Fantasy player, Corey Horsburgh, is out on Origin duty, but their other players averaging scores in the 50s, Joseph Tapine and Hudson Young, are good to go. Ata Mariota (MID, $297k) starts at lock in place of Horsburgh, while cheapies Trey Mooney and Peter Hola join the interchange.

Eels v Warriors, Saturday at CommBank Stadium

Eels: Ryan Matterson moves into the halves to replace Mitchell Moses (Origin), which isn't a huge deal if you own him given his score didn't really change much the last time he played in that role. Crucially for the 35 percent of teams who own J'maine Hopgood, he's named to start for his club despite being in the wider Maroons squad for Origin III. Sean Russell (WFB/CTR, $373k) replaces Clint Gutherson at fullback after the Parra captain was selected for the Blues. 

Warriors: Fantasy's seventh most popular player, Shaun Johnson, is named to play but will be one to keep an eye on closer to kick-off, with whispers around that he may miss the trip to Sydney as he awaits the birth of his second child. MID Tohu Harris had his first score in the 60s last week since Round 11, and perhaps more importantly, appears less troubled by his ongoing knee issue in recent weeks. Jackson Ford (MID/EDG, $560k) was shaping as a sell, but is one to hold for another week after last round's 66 set him up with a break even of 23.

Rabbitohs v Bulldogs, Saturday at Accor Stadium

Rabbitohs: Michael Chee-Kam, who is still in over 4 percent of teams, returns to the starting back row alongside Ben Lovett. Lachlan Ilias (HLF, $533k) should have an elevated role with Cody Walker out on Origin duty, and he will line up alongside Dean Hawkins who scored 33 in his only prior game this year, in the halves. Tyrone Munro ($240k) keeps his spot on the wing after a solid debut last week, and when Campell Graham returns in Round 21 it's likely to be a shootout between he and Taane Milne as for who keeps their spot in the backline. 

Bulldogs: Hours on from signing with the club on Tuesday morning, Toby Sexton has been named to make his club debut at halfback. In his one game for the Titans this year Sexton went huge with a 72-point showing. But at $603k he's awkwardly priced and probably one to wait and see on, although with a break even of 25 he risks jumping in price with a good performance. Popular CTR option Paul Alamoti is gone, as is fullback Hayze Perham. Jake Averillo is the new No.1 and at $369k, with dual position status as a CTR and WFB, there could be value in him if he keeps that spot. Harrison Edwards (MID, $470k) is named on the bench again after scoring 31 off the pine last week.

Titans v Dolphins, Sunday at Cbus Super Stadium

Titans: Another chance for Klese Haas to make some cash after being named to start in the back row in place of David Fifita (Origin). Haas ($298k) averaged 44.5 across his two other 80-minute games this year and has a break even of -7.MID Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui, who is available at the same price at Haas, gets a start in the front row. Jojo Fifita is on the bench after being a late inclusion on the wing for Phillip Sami last week, with Sami named despite picking up a hamstring complaint in the warm up last round. Jayden Campbell comes in at fullback for AJ Brimson, but he is a stay away because, with his normal role being a disaster from a Fantasy perspective. 

Dolphins: Despite comments from coach Wayne Bennett last weekend which suggested he was set for a stint out with a shoulder injury, Jeremy Marshall-King has been named, but he remains in real doubt. If you have him it would be wise to keep an eye on Late Mail this week. Popular cash cow Valynce Te Whare ($386k), who comes off a 56 last week, now appears to be a first-choice centre after retaining his spot and keeping Brenko Lee in the extended reserves. Kodi Nikorima is the fullback again after hitting 45 last week. Felise Kaufusi is out with concussion, so Connelly Lemuelu has a starting spot in the back row and remains a great CTR option in Fantasy.
