Fantasy Winners & Losers: Round 10

A couple of big-gun WFBs led the charge in Round 10, while Nathan Cleary further strengthened his claim as the top week-to-week captaincy option with another big showing. 

But it was a terrible time to own most players wearing a Wests Tigers jersey, while a couple of backs really struggled despite their respective teams scoring plenty of points on the field. 

Round 10 Fantasy Winners

While he needed a score adjustment on Monday to get there, Ryan Papenhuyzen is officially in the 100 club for 2025 after a dazzling four-try performance against the Wests Tigers.  

Sitting in just over 21 percent of teams, his 100 points shot the total score up for plenty of teams who may have been struggling up until that point, and propelled a bunch to late-round victories in head-to-head leagues in which they had him as a unique player. 

The Storm flyer was one of three WFBs who finished in the top five for the round, with Latrell Mitchell second on 87 and Papenhuyzen's teammate Xavier Coates fourth-equal on 75. 

Penrith duo Isaah Yeo and Nathan Cleary were sandwiched in between after playing starring roles for their side in a golden point draw with the Cowboys.

Cleary (75 points) finished the best of the 'big three' captaincy choices for the second week in a row, with Payne Haas (70) just behind and Terrell May further back on 64.  

Titans DPP back Phillip Sami was the week's best point of difference player, with a cool 72 points which was enjoyed by just 0.4 percent of teams.

Round 10 Fantasy Losers

Rabbitohs DPP Jye Gray saw just 12 minutes of game time off the bench against the Broncos and scored just three Fantasy points.

While in his nine games prior to Round 10 Gray hadn't played under 58 minutes or scored under 24 points, the drastically reduced role this week gone makes him a possible trade out candidate now for the around 13,500 who own him.

Wests Tigers HOK Tallyn Da Silva struggled to just five points, but he was in very good company within his team, with seven of the club's players finishing on under 20 points as the Storm hammered them 64-0.

In addition to Gray, there was a long list of strugglers in the WFB and CTR positions too, with the likes of Sebastian Kris (5), Sunia Turuva (10), Xavier Savage (12) and Sharks fullback William Kennedy (14) among those who finished on below 20.
