  • SELLERS DILEMMA

    THE NATHAN CLEARY EDITION With Nathan Cleary registering a category 1 concussion in round 3 after only 7 minutes, he will miss at least one round and have some significant money to lose. For coaches who have burned a number of trades and/or have other outs to deal with he…

  • IN FOCUS- RYAN PAPENHUYZEN

    Ryan Papenhuyzen or Lil’ Pappy as he’s affectionately known, was on track for what was looking like an incredible season knocking off Tedesco and only held from the number WFB spot by an even greater outlier season from Tommy Turbo in 2021. Unfortunately, as I’m sure most remember his season…

  • IN FOCUS – ELIESA KATOA

    With the news that Tohu Harris is locked into a middle role, and Katoa has formed a strong partnership with Shaun Johnson on the right edge, we need to have a closer look at this young up and coming back rower. In short, Katoa gives off strong Isaiah Papali’i vibes,…

  • IN FOCUS – PAYNE HAAS

    With Nathan Cleary in doubt, many may turn to Payne Haas as a captaincy option if they do not believe Tom Trbojevic can sustain his blistering form. With the Broncos seemingly on the right track and passing the eye test in the trials to date, it seems necessary to have…

  • IN FOCUS – VICTOR RADLEY

    When we talk about Victor Radley, what typically comes to the forefront of the conversation is his poor discipline, suspensions, and inconsistent play from an NRL Fantasy perspective. That said, with the departure of Isaac Liu and Sam Verrills seemingly locked in a non 80 minute role, the opportunity is…

  • NRL FANTASY GAME THEORY

    One part of NRL fantasy that is something which is “known” by experienced players, but is something that is a steep learning curve for beginners, is the theory behind the game. In this article, I am going to discuss some “common” wisdom around the theory of NRL Fantasy, which may…

  • IN FOCUS – JOSH CURRAN

    Josh Curran burst onto the scene in 2021 after registering 6 career matches prior, all from the interchange and none more than 32 minutes, to turn in an impressive average of 52 points in only 70 minutes on average. Curran displayed an odd scoring pattern for the position, averaging over…

  • IN FOCUS – MITCH BARNETT

    When I first was asked to look at Mitch Barnett in focus, my initial reaction was “what for?”. As an analyst, I am trying to avoid doing that, and here is the result, my in depth look at Mitch Barnett and his prospects for the 2022 season. Straight off the…
