NRL Fantasy Winners & Losers: Round 25
Nicho Hynes stole the show on Thursday night, but across the eight games it was big performances from WFBs that defined Round 25 from a Fantasy point of view.
Round 25 Winners
Nicho Hynes set a mark which couldn't be beaten in the opening game of the round, with a 90-point showing as he led the Sharks to a 32-12 demolition of the Cowboys on Thursday night.
It was a massive result given the Cronulla No.7 is owned by over a third of all teams, with a try, six goals and 190 run metres helping him edge past Newcastle's hat-trick hero Greg Marzhew (87) for overall honours.

Marzhew bags a hat-trick
With a whopping 11 tackle breaks and 241 metres to go with his try haul, Marzhew joined fellow Kiwi Jordan Rapana (84) and Panthers star Dylan Edwards (80) as the WFBs who cracked 80 or above in Round 25.
Rabbitohs HOK Damien Cook hit a season-high 86 in his side's loss to the Knights, while Eliesa Katoa was in devastating form for the Storm against the Dragons, scoring a pair of tries on his way to 82 points.
Katoa was one of several Storm players to do well in Fantasy, with HLF Jahrome Hughes (76) and WFB Will Warbrick (75) following close behind.
While the Eels lost to the Roosters, HLF Dylan Brown starred on the Fantasy front in the absence of Mitchell Moses, scoring 77, while there was both good and bad news for James Tedesco owners as the WFB scored twice to finish on 74 points but also suffered a head knock, which is likely to keep him out of Round 26.

Tedesco with two tries
$339k Wests Tigers rake Jake Simpkin was the best value for money player, rewarding the 3.6 percent of teams who own him with a 71 as he made the most of an increased role triggered by Api Koroisau's move to the halves.
Round 25 Losers
There is no looking past Josh Schuster as the big disappointment this week, after his move to the second row led to a season-low six points in the loss to the Warriors.
The EDG/HLF – who is owned by five percent of teams – didn't have a single carry in his 25 minutes on the park, with eight tackles and a missed tackle his only Fantasy metrics.
A ribs injury led to Albert Hopoate being the only player of the round who finished on negative points, with a -4 in Canberra's win over the Bulldogs, while limited interchange roles for Matt Moylan, Justin Matamua, James Schiller and Dean Matterson saw them all register single-digit scores.
Rabbitohs HLF Lachlan Ilias was the other player with ownership of five percent or more who struggled, clocking just 10 in the loss to the Knights.
