  • IN FOCUS – TEVITA PANGAI JR

    With the growing importance of dual position eligibility and the shortage of value in the MID position, Tevita Pangai Jr is a popular option at around 16% ownership. This has no doubt also been inflated by the scoring changes rewarding offloading, but is it warranted at his price point? Lets…

  • IN FOCUS – REUBEN COTTER

    In these strange new times in the NRL we find ourselves with a serious shortage of value at the hooker position, and as a result we are forced to look outside of the box for potential options for round 1. Enter the North Queensland Cowboys likely #13 for 2022, Reuben…

  • IN FOCUS – EUAN AITKEN

    After our deep dive into Matt Burton, we continue our look at the potential elite centre options with Euan ‘go yourself’ Aitken. The 26-year-old confirmed he’ll be picking up where he left off last season, starting 2022 on an edge. Aitken’s comments indicate the reason for this shift is to…

  • IN FOCUS – MATT BURTON

    The new chief playmaker in Belmore with a premiership ring on his finger and out from under the shadow of Cleary’s chin. Already a popular fantasy centre in 2021 with a stellar try scoring rate, Burto is one that hasn’t slipped under anyone’s radar with his ownership sitting just shy…

  • IN FOCUS – SHAUN JOHNSON

    Shaun Johnson is finally home where he belongs at the Warriors after a stint on the mainland, but does he belong in your fantasy team? The short answer to the question I think is an emphatic no, but lets look at why. First off, Shaun Johnson is now 31 years…

    No doubt about it, Jason Taumalolo had a year to forget in 2021. With the NRL deciding to speed up the game, players who overcome their opponents with what I would describe as “consistent power” really struggled to win. As the NRL has decided to try and backtrack some of…

  • IN FOCUS – STEFANO UTOIKAMANU

    Owning a Tiger in 2021 was about as dangerous as being married to Carole Baskin but their was another tiger king that flew under a lot of people’s radars in the back half of the NRL season. Stefano Utoikamanu was a very popular cash cow at the beginning of last…

  • DYNASTY MARKET MOVERS

    SELL First off we’ll be covering some of those big names its time to have a cold hard look at and sell. Maybe these guys have won you championships in past years and you are holding on for sentimental reasons. It’s entirely your choice but we’ll do our best to…

  • IN FOCUS – NICO HYNES

    Another contentious player within our Facebook group is young Nico Hynes, recently transferred from elite side the Melbourne Storm to predicted 12th placed finishers the Cronulla Sharks. There are frankly a lot of unknowns in this argument, with Hynes playing in a (fairly) new position for a new team with…

  • IN FOCUS – CHRISTIAN WELCH

    By popular demand, we are going to have a look at some players who have been… heartily debated within our social media channels to determine if perhaps the Amateurs ourselves have been impacted by what we call “player goggles” – where you formulate an opinion and despite being given evidence…
