Fantasy Winners & Losers: Round 12

With not one, not two, but three players hitting scores over 100, Round 12 was one to savour for many Fantasy coaches.

 A couple of traditional WFB stars also enjoyed breakout games, but at the other end of the scale there were disastrous scores for a handful of potential cash cows. 

Round 12 Winners

For the second time in six weeks Nathan Cleary registered a triple figure Fantasy score, with a stunning performance against the Broncos which had a bit of everything in terms of metrics. 

The Penrith No.7's 106 points meant those who captained him got off to a flying start, while later in the final game of the round Tom Trbojevic delivered a vintage performance with three tries, nine tackle busts and 245 metres for a score of 105.

Starford To'a was far and away the biggest surprise of the week, with the CTR/WFB, who is owned by just 1.1 percent of teams, racking up a whopping 12 tackle breaks and two tries helping him to 101 points.

James Tedesco had his best performance of the year with 84, while Patrick Carrigan made 67 tackles on his way to a 97. 

Nicho Hynes, David Fifita, Mitchell Moses and Dylan Brown all continued their strong form with top 10 scores, while Brandon Wakeham and Luke Brooks starred in the halves as the Wests Tigers trounced the Cowboys, scoring 75 and 74 respectively. 

WFB Jahream Bula, who is now in a third of all Fantasy teams, crushed his break even of 5 with a score of 63 that will ensure he makes plenty of money in coming weeks. 

Round 12 Losers

Some of the most popular cash cows floating around currently had terrible scores in Round 12, led by Eels EDG Andrew Davey (3) who was out of the game after five minutes due to a HIA which he failed.

Corey Waddell (7) and Ben Trbojevic (8) both struggled, with the latter leaving the field with a hamstring injury that will likely sideline him for an extended period. 

Heilum Luki was a popular trade in last week after his 84 in Round 11, but he ran for just 31 metres and missed eight tackles for a score of 13 against the Wests Tigers. 

Popular HOK Reed Mahoney also really struggled, with 11 minutes off for a HIA contributing to him scoring just 17.
