Social NZ Warriors NRL Fantasy Competition 2025

Ryley Smith 31 points for an 80 minute hooker performance. Looking like a bad trade in.

He was always going to be around that. It's like Brendon hands. You will make money from him, that's all it is.

Can you teach me or explain to me why he only got 31 - to the eye test he looks very skilled. Much better player than Brendan Hands or Joey Lussick

So I didn't watch most of the game, only like the last 35 minutes.

But his stats are 36 tackles (36), that's low for a hooker. You want 40+. He missed 6 tackles...that's -12 points.

Essentially 20 run meters (2) and only 44 (1) kick meters. And one turnover.

36 points + 2 for goal is 38. Plus a turnover (4)so 45 - 12 = 33

However, footystats have him at 33.

Not sure if I have all the math correct.

Essentially, he's not tackling enough. He needs to get to 40+ and make less misses. Then when he runs the ball, those are bonuses.

Looks like a high scoring round. Made 929 and dropped 1.5k ranks back to 3k.

Kautonga and To'a did me dirty.

 

[Makasene]

Will be taking a good look at Clark this week.

Possibly Hubner to Clark. DPP and plays round 12

 

[Damo]

First 1000 of the year (pending updates) with 1019.

Will hopefully only do 1 trade this week with Campbell out for Kiraz.

Well done = excellent mahi.

Thanks Tyrael - really helpful. He is a pylon on defence it sounds like. It is a shame as he has a sweet crisp pass.

I was a Halasima instead of Hubner in my 17 away from cracking my first 1000 ever , I was so certain Webby would pull a switch and put Capewell at starting 2nd Row, with Leka to the bench or centre instead

This is my 11th season of Fantasy.. lol

 

[Wrighty]

Is TLT still tonight following an Easter Monday game?

 

[Wrighty]

I think I scored 840. My team is about 100 points off the pace. Need two or three good acquisitions.

 

[Rizzah]

982 for me. CTRs scored a combined 47 which killed me getting to 1000. Dropped down to #797
Top scorer for the round got a 1139 - super impressive.

I will tidy up my WFB this week, I think I will try to bring in Sharpe (dual WFB/HLF) and Kiraz (dual CTR/WFB).
Only concern would be Kiraz gets called up to SOO, otherwise he's one of the few solid WFB available.

Hopefully he keeps doing well. 54 with that try is low. Pretty sure there is at least a line break and tackle break in there. Remove that and head scoring like mid 30s.

Depends on injury. Hard to go past Lomax and To'o as winning incumbents. But Lomax predicted back round 12. To'o is round 9.

I would have scored 960 if I didn't trade Tamale. It's what happens when I dont do research. Would have saved a trade too. Gutted.

Yeah, the incumbents will be selected if available - Does Lomax need to play a game before team naming, maybe not?
I think Kiraz is worth the risk.

Yeah I think Lomax would slot straight back in. Kiraz would kill it in Origin but if you were Daley, would you go with tried and true or a newbie? Daley already has a bad Origin record, so he needs surround himself with winners.

Rumour: Lucas seen in the airport waiting to board the plane to NZ.
