Fantasy League debrief

TOP PERFORMERS

Cameron Smith ranks as the number 1 performer in Fantasy from Round 9. The loose forward scored 83 points in his side's victory over Hull FC. Smith contributed with a try, 46 tackles, and four tackle busts in the game. It was a crucial victory for the Rhinos and one that was undoubtedly influenced by the captain himself.

Innes Senior comes in as the second highest scoring Fantasy player with 78 points. Senior was the star man in Castleford's 40-0 win over London Broncos, scoring a brace, making six tackle busts, and covering 172 metres. The Tigers play Leigh Leopards this weekend in a crucial tie at the lower end of the table. Can Senior be the star for Castleford again and claim the all-important two points on offer?

Despite falling to a dramatic defeat against Salford, George Williams comes in as the third top performer in Round 9. Williams scored a try, made 23 tackles and three tackle busts in the game. Warrington welcome a struggling Hull FC side in Round 10, and it's a fixture you would expect Williams to score well in. Will you be bringing Williams into your Fantasy team?

Committed to the cause ?

FANTASY FLOPS

Salford's King Vuniyayawa was forced off against Warrington last weekend, before going on to fail his Head Injury Assessment (HIA), which meant he could play no further part in the afternoon. The powerhouse prop only managed to score seven points, making minimal impact whilst on the pitch.

Wigan's Brad O'Neill was only able to return 18 points for his owners this week. The Warriors fell to defeat against Hull KR this weekend and like much of the Wigan side, the youngster was unable to make a significant impact in the game.

Huddersfield's star centre Esan Marsters did not feature for the Giants on Thursday night. The New Zealand international sits as one of the highest points scorers with a total of 423 this season, so there will be plenty of Super League Fantasy players left disappointed with Marsters' absence.

ONES TO WATCH

After a brilliant performance in Round 9, George Williams will be looking to continue his impressive form. With home advantage against Hull FC side in Round 10, the England international will be keen to deliver another excellent performance.

Leeds Rhinos welcome a winless London Broncos on Friday evening and with Cameron Smith ranking as Round 9's top performer, there's every chance he could deliver another stellar performance for his side on home soil and rack up the points.

Joe Burgess is another one to watch in Super League Fantasy League, having enjoyed a brilliant start to life as a Robin. He did score relatively low in Round 9 with just 13 points however - although this could due to his team-mates also getting heavily in on the action in their emphatic win.

As high-flying Hull KR will look to continue their fantastic form, Burgess could be a popular and clever choice in plenty of Fantasy line-ups. Will you be considering him in your fantasy side?
