Guns you can rely on for the final fortnight

The late-season resting of superstars has started a week earlier than usual this year due the Storm already having the minor premiership secured, and unfortunately for Fantasy coaches there could be more to come in Round 27.

This week we're looking over the players who are likely to play both of the remaining two games of the regular season and score at a top-tier level as well. 

Guns to rely on over the final fortnight

Isaah Yeo (MID, $851k)

Regardless of what happens in Round 26, Penrith are going to have something decent to play for in the final round of the regular season, so it's pretty unlikely Yeo will be getting rested. 

With that out of the way it's pretty easy to argue that he's the best Fantasy player around right now and without Nathan Cleary in the team he's a good chance of hitting a score in the 70s each week from here, and given if he is coming off back-to-back 80s that might even be too conservative. 

His base stats are very consistent and in this more ball-playing role he's in right now Yeo should be good for a couple of try assists and line break assists as well. 

Tom Trbojevic (WFB, $783k)

The fact that 'Turbo' has hit season-best form over the past month at fullback should terrify anyone Manly might face in the finals, and in Fantasy it makes him the highest-ceiling WFB around right now.

For the first time in a long time he looks to be healthy and moving freely, and with the Sea Eagles knowing how important home field advantage will be in Finals Week 1 (they're 9-2 as the home side in 2024) it's a good bet that Trbojevic will play both remaining games. 

He's the second best player in the game by form right now after topping the round with 91 last week and is projected to score 54 and 58 from here, but with the way his team is going you can easily add 10 or 15 points to that if he gets over for a try. 

Keaon Koloamatangi (EDG/MID, $735k)

Confirmation that Cameron Murray will miss the rest of the season through suspension is great news for Koloamatangi, opening the door for a likely return to lock where his ceiling is significantly higher than when he's out on an edge. 

Across a nine-game stretch as a middle forward between Round 12-22 the Tongan enforcer averaged 65.8 points per game in Fantasy, hitting much bigger numbers on both sides of the ball and topping things up with some additional dynamic plays in attack. 

South Sydney play sides with good forward packs from here in the shape of the Panthers and Titans, but in Koloamatangi's case that's probably a good thing because it means the game will be focused down the middle of the park. 

Matt Burton (HLF, $764k)

After struggling with consistency through the first half of the season, Burton has scored over 50 in seven of his past eight games and heads into Round 26 as the second best available HLF by form, with a L3 average of 62.7.

When the stakes have been raised for the Bulldogs in recent weeks Burton has risen to the occasion too, and for the next fortnight the stakes are as high as they've been for years at Belmore, as they play for the chance to be in the top four or to secure home field advantage for Finals Week 1. 

The Bulldogs play at Accor Stadium, where Burton average 60 points per game, in both of their final two regular season matches and he's got to potential to reach 70s if he can stack up a few try assists to go with his decent base stats. 

Kalyn Ponga (WFB, $652k)

This is a risky one and it might come back to bite me and anyone who follows this advice. Or it might be a stroke of moderate genius. 

Newcastle's hopes of keeping their season alive will sit with their skipper over the next couple of weeks and for a player like Ponga who relies on attacking stats, they have very favourable matchups to come. 

This week's opponent the Titans have given up 41.3 points on average in their last three games, while in Round 27 the Knights play a Dolphins side who haven't kept a team to below 30 in over a month. 

Since returning from injury in Round 18 Ponga averages 49.6 per game.
