Top Performers 

Salford star Nene Macdonald is the top performer in Round 10 of Fantasy League thanks to a 104 point haul. The Papua New Guinea international starred in his sides away win at Huddersfield, scoring two tries, setting up another, while making eigh tackle busts, three offloads and running for a round best 253 metres. Macdonald has climbed into the fourth overall top point scorer in Fantasy thanks to another mesmerising display in Round 10. 

It was another excellent performance from the mercurial Mikey Lewis against St Helens over the weekend. The Hull KR scrum half got himself on the scoresheet and created three more tries, made eight tackle busts and kicked six goals, resulting in a total score of 86 points. The youngster continues to impress for the Robins and is showing no signs of slowing down!

Warrington winger Josh Thewlis ranks as the third top performer in Round 10 after scoring 84 points against Hull FC. It was a comfortable win for Sam Burgess’ side and Thewlis was the star of the show, with a hattrick on the night. Along with that, he made six tackle busts and covered 122 metres. 

Fantasy Flops

Joe Burgess failed to emulate his recent form during his sides win over St Helens - the flying winger scored an underwhelming 14 points despite playing a full 80 minutes.

Matt Whitley sustained a shoulder injury during Saints' away defeat at Hull KR which saw him record just five points in Fantasy. Whitley has found himself towards the higher end of Fantasy performers after a storming start to the 2024 season, so owners will be hoping the injury isn't serious heading into the weekend.

Despite being selected in Huddersfield's initial 21-man squad, Leroy Cudjoe did not feature on the team sheet against Salford. Cudjoe has been exceptional this year, scoring 502 points after reinventing himself in the Giants forward pack.

Looking ahead

Matty Ashton could make his return to action in Round 11. The England International has been superb for Warrington this year, but unfortunately picked up a minor injury before Round 9. Make sure you keep an eye out for any developments on Ashton’s match fitness. 

Jake Trueman performed well in Round 10 despite only featuring for the second half of the game. Trueman ended the game with 28 points and with Hull FC travelling to a struggling London side this weekend, there’s every chance he could deliver a strong score. 

Round 11 is the final set of fixtures before the Betfred Challenge Cup Semi Finals and with Hull KR, Wigan Warriors, Huddersfield Giants and Warrington Wolves taking part in next weekends cup fixtures, will some players be rested?
