Social NZ Warriors NRL Fantasy Competition 2025

Fell from 2,062 to 3,706.

Climbed to about 985 after Nicholsons opening of the round 74. Should have got a screenshot!

The game is getting interesting. A few genuine captain options.

The 11% that skippered Cleary this week would have made good gains.

You can go back to that round and it'll have your round score. Screenshot before season over XD

Cant 47. Can't be too upset for playing center. I really like the look of him. Second half was hunting for tackles. Forced 3 turn overs. Pretty good.

He's bumped up to 50points. Which is great, considering he was on 1 or 2 after about 20mins.
The thing that was pleasing, Cant went looking for work. He has an impressive work rate, tackles hard - forces turn overs.
Love tackle machines, and if Cant can hold his spot - well worth the get.

Probable trades for me this week:
Outs:
Jake Cole (doing very little with Cleary as the dom half)
Jamie Humphreys (Injured)

Ins:
Toby Couchman (dual, workhorse, solid base stats gets the occasional offload)
Dylan Egan or Wong (Egan, also impressive work rate - cheap. Wong is so good, was worried about him holding high minutes - but Radley looks especially injury prone - Collins out with an MCL)

Couchman and Egan will give me $318k surplus cash, Wong option I'll have $39k remaining.

I have Munster, I'll keep him for another week to fill in at half. But he's not doing much, will probably trade him out for a decent Hooker next week. I only have Mama currently.
I will look to move on an EDG or MID next week too - Probably Angus Crichton if I bring in Wong this week, which will free up some cash.

Edit: Took out a couple of the 'impressive', lol.

Any update on humphreys injury? Can't find any information on injury/timeframe. Only that it could be 2 weeks at best but that was from friday night. I'll probably hold if that's the case.
I was looking to trade tino and munster to yeo and cleary but i might just hold firm on that for now, cleary may be due 1 more drop. Cole for egan my most likely only trade

Nah, no further info on Humphrey's - only the standard 2-4 weeks from NRL Physio. My worry is his role could change quite a bit on his return - Dodds gets a chance now. Latrell has taken up the goal kicking.

Yeah true, didn't really consider that...if its 3+ I'll probably give him the punt. I'm not really in a rush for trades to be honest only got 30 left. I've got decent coverage for most positions at the moment. Not amazing coverage but I've been trying to get as many half decent dpp as i can...even if that means sacrificing points. Just for coverage

Just realised the couch got updated to 69! I reckon that when the couch, egan and stewart are all on that the statisticians can easily mistake the three of them. They all look very similar

 

[tyrael]

I want Latrell and Cleary this week. My problem is, will I have too many origin players and also need to trade another person after Humps.

If I don't get either one, then do I go with another cow. Cole to someone.

I'm waiting until Latrell takes the FB role before I bring him in - lower scores at centre. He will hopefully drop some $$ whilst he gains some match fitness over the next 1-2 weeks.

Wanting to trade Humphreys for Chanel, but that would leave me with 5 Warriors (Leka, Fish, Metcalf, Demitric)

Would Clifford be worth bringing in? Essentially the same price as Humphreys, footystatistics.com estimates his BE is 20

Chanel still looks like he still has a bit of cash to make, but I'd be cautious with already owning 4 warriors players. Thats already 1 more than I'd be comfortable holding from one team.
Clifford looks to be a good base points player. Two scores of 50+ with no tries/assists or line break/assists. Not to mention the cowboys looking much improved since he entered the fray. Low ownership also

Edit: also be aware that clifford has a bye in round 7 and then also round 12 which is the big bye round. Something to keep in mind

 

[Wrighty]

I am up against Rizzah this week. He is projected to win by 100 points at this stage. He has al lot of the players I have. My only hope is to to stack my interchange with the few players I have that are unique and hope they pop off. Eg I have Vaimauga and players like that. I also need to think about choosing a left field captain that he doesn't own. My back is up against the wall here.

 

[mrblonde]

Already planning the Wooden Spoon Parade.
Having to make at least 1 trade this week as I had Mahoney as my only Hooker. Hope Marshall-King can put it on against the Panthers, but 14 v 15 doesn't really hint at a huge game for any player...
On top of that, the Reservoir Dogs and jonesy101nzw share 5 players...
Not so crazy to shift out Cleary yet, but obviously it'll be interesting to see what happens over Origin. Back Up or No? I'd say, given the way the Panthers have started and just how off they look, it's a Back Up and cross fingers he doesn't break anything...

That's too many Warriors. Can you post your team here? I'll take a look for you

Jamie Brown says Iongi a "courageous green light" "dare I say he is a buy"

I will wait until TLT tomorrow then move on him.

 

[Ref]

Wouldn’t buy Clifford. Historically erratic with the scoring.

Outside backs in poor teams are a no go IMO.
Coming from someone who brought Jenkins from the last week

Maybe you are right. I remember making this rule for myself earlier this year. I will think about it tonight.
I need a reasonably priced WFB around the $300-$400K mark. I will go scout what there is.
I am a bit exposed to injuries and byes right now without a bit of cover if that makes sense and while Hamish Stewart is good he isn't winning the Daly M this year.
