Social NZ Warriors NRL Fantasy Competition 2026

Surely not cheese after his massive 27 last week!?
Hopefully turbo isn’t out too long with a few forumers trusting those legs of his

I have just traded in Cheese. He plays all the major bye rounds. Ideally I would wait until round 11 to bring in origin coverage but by then he will be more expensive and I can only justify so much money for someone who will pump out 27 each week,

I'm going Cheese. Plays all the bye rounds even if he scores low. Low top 1000 ownership so is a POD if he goes off. Pretty sure Bennett rates him and he'll get the minutes as the season goes on.

 

[Wrighty]

In the end I reversed Cheese and took Pascoe for four reasons
1) Brandon has recovered from a calf injury. Soft tissue injuries can reoccur.
2) Brandon is like a moth to a flame for off field antics which could lead to a ban for doing something illicit,
3) There are three good hookers at Souths so if he dips in form then he needs to cut it as a bench middle. And can he maintain a position as a bench middle when all the Rabbits forwards return.
4) I wanted the cheapest back up hooker possible.

Turbo injured last night. That is why I didn't take him.

Hindsight hero over here

Haha.

Herbie 108 points.
Cleary 94 points.
Plath 64 points - good for you if you picked up this fantasy specialist. Not good in real life but damn good in fantasy.

My match against Damo is even stevens so far with him with his nose ahead a little a bit. I will have to claw him back tomorrow night. Brailey his main hooker is on a bye so he has Bailey Hayward playing who is capable of a 50 or a 27 so how he goes and some of his other fringe players will determine this.

Noah Martin looks a sell now. Ricky is managing his minutes and he only played 56 last night.

I thought about plath. JZ said his role uncertain when JMK comes back.

Schneider spent 60 odd minutes at hooker and Morgan Knowles had 26 minutes at lock. Plath will lose his hooker minutes but looks like he’s ahead of Knowles for the minutes at lock.

Kenny out for a while.

Must trade for owners as our favorite Freddy Lussick should take that starting spot.
With a fifty+ score in his last start.

Could be a popular trade.

Must trade* is maybe a bit impulsive. If hooker is a position of need, I agree that he should be considered. But Freddy has never been a good scorer with big minutes, even when hookers we’re scoring well!! Plath, Robson and Crossland all safer options unless cashing down is a requirement

I apologise if I had any influence over this decision. I own cheese and luckily played him as taine was out. Probably was worth the punt at 300k, despite his history. I brought Plath in this week for coverage incase brailey (rightfully so) is selected for origin. So was going to bench cheese

 

[Makasene]

I've come unstuck in a monumental way.

Captained Haas and had Makasini + Turbo.

1,379 at the start of the round, now 8,000 with 2 players to go.

Long way back now

Just trying to help the bro out. Freddy should end up making some cash and depending on how long Kenny’s is out for he isn’t great bye coverage.
