Social NZ Warriors NRL Fantasy Competition 2025

I was locked in to Kiraz, but looking at Drinkwater he may be the better option. Goal kicking FB and more ways to score than Kiraz

When the team is on, Drinky can go huge and Cows looking like they on the up. If he sniffs around Purdue, could be a lethal option.

I often end up with Drinky and he can be hit and miss but should score well most of the time

How is everyone managing trades? I have 26 coming into this week and am looking at another 2 this week

 

[Rizzah]

From our in-house experts, who are the sells here?

Arthars and maybe Leota are who I am thinking, just not sure what I would want as an alternative

Could get Kiraz which only leaves me money to get Savala really, but then that leaves me with 4 Roosters players.

Also am hoping Latrell has a high BE (estimated to be on nrlfootystats at least) and his price will drop after this week to a point where it'll be easier to get- in which case I wouldn't want Kiraz

Can you go Leota to Clark? You need hooker cover. Arthurs to Savala for the cash.

I have been going ham. 24 left, but trying to save two this week.

Was just eyeing that up after listening to the Casual Athletes pod actually,

For the moment at least, I have only traded Arthars for Savala and think I might just sit on the 201k space for this week and see how things go from there

I have 22 left after this week. I've saved two trades so far.

I've decided to keep ponga as i see him as a season long keeper. So these looking like my 3 trades this week

Olakau'atu might go up in price and score big soon, but he will only play 7 games from now to round 20 because of origin assuming he gets picked...
Smith looks to capped out on price so im going to cash him in.
Seyfarth feels the same way, espcially with his core being inflated via a try and still losing 4k.

Gotta jump on the couchman train.
Sharpe is looking great and will play round 12. And is one of the few WFB of caliber that will be playing over the origin period without being selected.
Clark is in the same boat, to give me a hooker for round 12 and i think will go up in value as his base stats are looking really good.

Will likely change these before the end of the week as i always do, but would be good to know if anyone else thinks there are better trades out there.

 

[roguei]

To add to above. I think i can wait on sharpe or clark... So if there is a value/cash gen player that isn't Savala i'd love to know. As the above trades are only possible if i dig pretty deep into my 400k piggy bank and drop back down to 33k.

 

[tyrael]

At the moment I'm slowly adding players to my origin round team. But I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. Should I Just buy the ones who get you the most points now and trade in bye players right at the end?

I'm using 2 this week which has dropped me down to 26. I've brought Savala in for Smith which has given me the cash to bring in Couchman for Kautoga.

I've max traded each week due to some panic trading, particularly last week with injuries - which in hindsight probably hurt my team.
I'm down to 20 trades after this week. I'm pretty happy with my squad now. A bit EDG heavy, but it gives me some trade options closer to RD12.

Agree with wrighty! Your team is looking great!!! I want Preston and Kiraz this week. But will probably have to give up to’a who still have a relatively low break even for Lucas. Might just go Campbell to kiraz and live with my choices!

Edit: can’t believe couchman isn’t even in your second row!

I see you kept Cant and didn't bring in Lucas in the end. A lot of contestants more experienced than me want to see Dylan get through the game against the Warriors from an injury return perspective before they move to re-owning him. If he goes well this weekend then they will move on him not so much from a points perspective but just observing his freedom of movement etc and if he is restricting himself from any athletic exertions.

I traded Campbell. Ample opportunity to bring him back later - he's holding a lot of cash/points in EMG if you hold.

Wow great squad - where are you ranked?

I'm at #836
@Worriers is #231

Squad has improved this week - with trades for Sharpe and Kiraz.

Yeah, I held my nerve. However, my trades may change.

How likely do you think Kiraz is Origin material. Casual keeps mentioning it, but I feel like Lomax will get the spot, even without any warm up games.
