Social NZ Warriors NRL Fantasy Competition 2026

[Wrighty]

I have Steep in my 13. Expecting him to play 50 minimum.
I am hoping he is cheap enough to make good money and good enough to have as a keeper.

Check the NRL site I have heard news in my pay per play forum he has been relegated to the bench (Steep)

 

[Makasene]

I did the same. Has anyone got him in their 17?

I think he would have been in mine but I put Luki in as advice was to play vegas players straight up.

So ultimately, I'd be sitting here talking about missing Lukis 68 lol

 

[Makasene]

I am feeling bitter that Moses Leo carved up with one million points last night after I bypassed him.

Do you have many of the other cheapie WFB?

Makasini
Faemani
Tu
Chester

All of those. I was going to take Dallin as a slightly more robust cheapie at $309K but have doubled down on cheapies to take Faemani.

Someone has thrown out a theory that the new 6 again rule is helping the outside backs. So we will see if that pans out over the whole round.

Yea I would agree with that.

More hitups for the backs

I hope no one picked up Laban

 

[Wrighty]

Well last night did not work out well for me:

• Reece Walsh 25 points
• Sam Walker 27 points

Looks like both will be slow out of the blocks this year. Still only round one so maybe they bounce back next round.
56 for my captain Haas - I imagine a lot of people would have captained him so no damage done there.

I did side step a few traps though as I had various people in early drafts of my team who I thought better of eventually:

• Alamoti
• Casey Maclean
• Dallin

Hopefully I bounce back tonight.

I have Noah Martin in my emergencies... Dammit

 

[Warriorsfan92]

I hope no one picked up Laban

I did and played him

 

[tyrael]

I did and played him

Damn. I was close to getting him. Picked Cooper Clarke in reserves instead.... Should have gone lisati....I was being too cute.

I’ve got most of them, but Laban has hurt. I looped Lisati, played Luki, looped in tu, played Chester. But utoi, brown, Walsh, all average. Colq went pretty well, and sanders looking good too. Got most of them. Will sell bai & Laban to couch & one if Leo/martin. I’ve got 150k bank to tidy mistakes up

Yeah I need lisati, maybe leo. But that's a lot of storm players. Thankfully no bye until 15.

Me too.(Sam Walker,Deine Mariner and now Ruben Garrick )
Pretty happy Warriors wise Walker low balled.
But fantasy wise my team has started low balling after my bench gave us a great start.

Good reality check.

I'm finding it really hard to play this game well compared to last year because I don't have time to research.

YouTube videos help to a degree but they are usually really general.

I also hate round one because of vegas. It means this round takes forever.

 

[Makasene]

Martin presumably will be most traded in this week.

BE will be rock bottom, maybe in the negatives.

 

[Wrighty]

.I was being too cute.

This is my learning from this year. I have been too cute with a number of picks. Needed to take tried and tested performers or options.
Quite worried about what Tino put out last night on another note. I was counting on him to average OVER 55. Instead he looked out of shape and unfit. Maybe round one and not warmed up yet.

I had in my emergencies but am starting him in my 13 next week.

What's your team name?
If misery loves company I have had nothing but low balls since Friday. Last night KL Iro and Tino did mediocre when I had much higher hopes for them.

To embarrassed to say!!!

But having a player from each team to be in every game.
I have proven to those who have succeeded that it can be a curse as well.
Hope im not the first to stuff it up

I wish Tyrael put his research tip up at the beginning.
Would of been on it.

Lol i think I made a few mistakes because lack of research. I didn't start until round 2 of trials.

There are so many factors for a player to do well and that's something I completely forgot from last year. If I had remembered I wouldn't have traded in Steep.

I also don't know if I can handle the UPS and Downs of fantasy this year lol. I was real uptight when I was doing well last year and right now I'm doing the same and it's round 1!!!
