Social NZ Warriors NRL Fantasy Competition 2025

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.

It's really hard to know - Lomax is due back for round 12. Which means he should be ready to go after round 11, when the SOO squads are named.
I traded in Kiraz this week, so I can reverse it if I get cold feet.

I get to double loop for the first time this comp

I'm at #836
@Worriers is #231

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

WOW- well done - sitting in the 30ks here

30k is decent if it's your first/second go.

I think I just 30K when I finished last year (first time)

Jordan Rikki out with Staph (whatever that is a viral infection?)

It sounds like there would need to be a major injury crisis for Kiraz to play.

If all fit, two of Turbo, Latrell & Best will play centre.

Potentially one of them will play wing if one of To'o & Lomax is out.

And even then, a safer play of Addo-Carr or Tupou could be made.

Kiraz would be behind most of these guys potentially

Interested that none of the experts are mentioning Kikau as a POD. Priced at 44 and averaging 53 - thoughts?

2024, played 79 mins and avg 35.4.

Could do well as he seems to be better this year, but a sample of 3 games isn't great and people might be worried that he gets injured again. However, he is cheap and there is a lot of gains to be had.

He definitely is a POD. But how many people have room in their edges if they already have CANT, Nicholson, Preston, Dylan and maybe some other duals like Couchman, Lucas, Femor.

I have really missed the boat on edges - had been hoping it was going to be a break out fantasy year for Olakauatu and didn't react to get off him in time. I have cash in the bank - who is the best options excluding couchman and crichton? Feel like a lot of the others are at peak and so aren't concerned about cash generation but would like to buy someone with upside

KPP looks good. $633k - plays 80, has an offload. Pod with 1.4% ownership.

PSA: Super Quick turn around this week, there is a game today so make sure you've locked in your captains, bulldogs and broncos players.

Remember to not captain/vc someone you just traded in, if they pull out before their game you won't be able to reverse trade. i.e. Campbell.
