NRL Fantasy Amateurs

In this episode, we take a few calm deep breaths before looking at the two games we have already seen in Vegas, and a look ahead to the team news and notes now that we have the Round 1 team lists. Lots of fantasy relevant chat, along with healthy banter and always 100% correct information*

In this episode, the Boom or Bust boys pull the night shift - answering your questions following the Round 1 TLT announcements for the Rabbitohs, Sea Eagles, Broncos and Roosters. Normally you can expect a mix of Amateurs Regulars, Interns, and Boom or Bust on these questions pods, but after a few marathon podcasts by Mark, Rob and Ryan the boys stepped up in a big way.

NRL Physio joins us straight from his week off work with the Flu to put in all time performance giving us the hot injury information on Fantasy relevant options like Jayden Campbell and the impact on Keano Kini, the Ben Trbojevic/Josh Schuster conundrum, Reuben Cotter, Shaun Lane, Ryan Papenhuyzen, plus one more Fantasy preseason darling that he throws some serious cold water on.

Absolute must listen stuff. Team-stamps from Regular Rob: Intro (...

In this episode, we cover off on the action from the round 1 trials and the fallout of the round 2 team lists, including some massive movers on high ownership players. We also do our infamous flaming hot takes, which make far too much sense in this crazy world of NRL Fantasy.

Before the trial matches kick off, we answer your listener questions, including how to handle the surplus of mid range forwards, the centre conundrum, and the surprisingly difficult hooker position. 

In this episode, we take you inside the mind of the players who finished in the top 5 in 2023 - how they constructed their teams structurally, players they had in common and different and what criteria for selection they fit - plus how to identify the 2024 equivalent options. We also look at how to identify good and bad risks, why PODs are overrated, the importance of a strong round 1 captain, buy...
