Back again, with injuries to Brown and Ponga and other players underperforming, and the cheapies going gangbusters, it is more strategy, team composition and the right type of risk for the Amateurs in round 3.    Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs/FF Quant Trade Calculator: https://fantasytradecalc.com/   If you like the show, d...

SORRY WRONG FILE!! Round 2 is in the books with another high scoring round propped up by keeper level scoring from the cheapies. Ranks are volatile and cash is flowing in, can you get the strategy right and keep up?   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs/FF Quant Trade Calculator: https://fantasytradecalc.com/   If you like the sh...

With cheapies Noah Martin, Moses Leo, Ryan Couchman, Ativalu Lisati and others firming as "must haves" and some preseason favourites slow out of the blocks, coaches are scrambling to get their start/sit and trades right for round 1 - have no fear, the Amateurs are here to point you in the right direction.   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp Link to the NRL Fan...

The sunday crew of Austin and Bilent are back to discuss the mixed bag that was round 1, 2026 with some players and coaches going BOOM while others have... no shortage of options for players to sell. Turns out 940 in round 1 isn't even good enough for a top 10k rank, what have the game makers done?!   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp Link to the NRL Fantasy A...

With Round 1A in the books and Round 1B team lists out, the boys examine the (shorter but still extensive) list of players you might consider for your fantasy team in round 1, with half a mind to getting in some strong performers from the first two games and the risks you might take knowing you might pull the rip cord on 2 trades heading into round 2.   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: ht...

We are finally out of the preseason and into the season, with tonnes of fantasy relevant players named including Ponga, Marzhew, Brown, Mooney, McEwen, Drinkwater, Chester, Dearden, Mahoney, Luki, Galvin, Hayward, Tu, Atkinson, Couchman x2 and Stewart - How many can you fit into your team?   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs/FF...

There are currently 38 players that are sitting at over 10% ownership in NRL fantasy 2026, but a whopping 21 of them fall into the DUD category for the Amateurs. Do you own one of them? You will have to listen to find out... Players discussed: Haas, Fifita, Smith, Faalogo, Lisati, Mooney, Makasini, Fale, Sanders, Walsh, Moses, Brown, Cleary, Patston, Mclean, Luki, Mahoney, Grant, Farnworth, Cheste...

Once again we find ourselves with a blend of serious and unserious coaches, with some coaches happy to park their Ethan S. ferraris and troll fantasy coaches with a third Ethan in the halves, while others trot out what is obviously a round 1 team list (or close to it). We unveil what we are looking for in these trial matches, and a surprise elite gun dual centre/wing fullback option we are looking...

Some serious and some unserious team lists for the first full round of trials, as coaches do their best to send the fantasy community into a panic. We try to work out whats relevant and whats not, and intern Sammy gives us the low down on the most important question on all our minds.. what exactly do sheep eat?   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp If you like t...

Round 1 of the Trials sees the Bulldogs (reserve grade), Cowboys, Dragons and Knights face off, with the latter 3 teams deciding to use the opportunity to test out combinations, get some miles in the legs, and decide on some final roster spots. What has been revealed by the team lists, and what is yet to be answered? Tune in to find out...   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discor...

The final episode of our early preseason series, the keeper possibles series sees us check out some less popular keeper options you may want to consider starting with, including a few elite gun WFBs and some former guns.   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp   If you like the show, don’t forget to check out our new ”Good Friends of the Show” exclusive member pac...

Episode 5 of the year sees us tackle the "keeper" level players, that is players that are more than 600k that we might be considering for our fantasy teams in 2026 - including popular captaincy selection Payne Haas and former rule number 1 Nathan Cleary.    Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp   If you like the show, don’t forget to check out our new ”Good Friend...

As with the cheapies, the mid range also offers a variety of "possibles" options, where their range of outcomes is wide or their role uncertain, hence why they have landed in that spot. If you pick one of these players and they pop off, they are likely a great point of difference option. If they don't, you will find yourself trading them sooner rather than later. Can you pick the right one?   Link...

The mid range often makes or breaks an NRL fantasy start of the year, and 2026 should be no different with options coming out our eyeballs at a variety of price points in a range of positions. Can you identify the right type of risks? If not, don't worry, we have you covered!    Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp   If you like the show, don’t forget to check ou...

We are back with part 2 of our "cash cows" analysis, where we look at the riskier and/or less secure and/or less obvious cash cow options, but that doesn't mean they won't be good money makers if the role lands the right way in 2026. Getting the right cash cows in your team is essential, so don't miss these niche ones.   Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp   If...

Everyone, and we mean everyone, who plays NRL fantasy LOVES a cash cow, and 2026 is chock-a-block full of potential cash cows you might want for your fantasy team. We discuss the 11 players we think are pretty safely locked into their role for 2026, and their potential to earn a spot in your 21 man squad.  Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp   If you like the sh...

Audio issues galore in the last podcast of the year sees Mark record an impromptu short podcast for those looking to lock in their final decisions of the week.
