Social NZ Warriors NRL Fantasy Competition 2025 Closed Thread

Yeah man, I’ve sent you the code. There’s bugger all people in there currently so keen for any players that would like to be in both.
It’s a fast a furious style comp so the winner gets the money and the respect. (There is no money)

I'll join the league to boost numbers (am also in the other one).

The only really decent $230k I can think of is Toia and you already have him.
Also personally I don’t like to spend all my available cap in round one. If you have to make changes after round one it can really handicap you. For instance Sandon smith gets injured and is out for an extended period and there’s another cheap player like Royce hunt that unexpectedly is getting a heap of minutes. You can straight swap if you have $50k left over. But if you don’t it may mean you miss out on Hunt or have to trade another player you didn’t really want to trade.
Also please tell me Metcalfe is on your bench.
Kolo is super tempting with Murray out. But only if he gets the starting lock role which looks unlikely (Bennett, specifically wanted him playing lock last season though)and he’s reportedly carrying a niggly issue.
Tapine is an interesting POD.

Kolo is there assuming he gets the starting lock role and is healthy. You’re spot on with that assessment. If that falls apart I’ll probably have the cap space to work with.
Bench has metcalf and horsburgh with a reasonably cheap third and vacant fourth.
You can probably guess my reserves are a group that won’t touch first grade. It’s not how I normally play but I felt like going all in week 1 lol.

Personally I’d never buy a player that isn’t playing. Your EMG players are almost as important as your scoring 17. They need to be increasing in value so you can sell them to buy more guns. If your team value slips behind other players you make it really hard to score well. Especially since you are in a head to head competition, where team value is arguably more important than overall rank.
Your whole goal is to have the best possible 18 (17 plus a looper) scoring players coming into round 23.
A general rule of thumb for any player you choose for your starting team is that they are a top tier gun you will be happy to hold all season or they have ten points of value. If a player isn’t ticking one of those boxes then it’s pretty hard to justify starting with them.

Anyone know if connor watson will get dual position for hooker before the season starts?

Apparently there are no changes to the current positions before the season starts.

There is a position update early in the season. Maybe even after round 1. Not sure when it is.

Heaps predict Watson to go DPP.

Hope Erin Clarke does not lose his. He won't be seeing much hooker you would think

Bugger, that's gonna make finalising my team just a bit harder

Wouldnt think so, what if you had erin clark in hooker?

 

[Makasene]

Yea maybe they don't lose it but just get updated to it?

First time I'm doing fantasy in about 12 years! Feel like a noob again but enjoying it.

 

[Makasene]

Actually according to this the first update will be after team list Tuesday before round 1.

There will an update on Tuesday ahead of Vegas and then another update next Tuesday before the rest of round 1

That is good news!!

Anyone know if connor watson will get dual position for hooker before the season starts?

Any player that doesn’t already have dual will get dual if they are named in a different position for round one. Occasionally if the player is clearly just there for one game they won’t give it. (Pretty sure CHT was named at hooker round one a couple of years ago and didn’t get hooker dual)
Also Titans players will miss though, bso cause they have a bye round one. So players like Brimson will likely have to wait till round 7 to get half dual added.

 

[Fizurg]

Do players ever lose there dpp?

Only time players can lose dual is during the offseason. Once a player has dual they can’t be changed all season. Even if they only play another position they aren’t listed for all season.

Well we are at 10 for the overflow comp. Ten should be fine but 12 would be nice. Anyone else want to jump in?
