Fantasy League Ins and Outs for Round 3

4 hrs

Round 2 of the Betfred Super League kicked off exactly where Round 1 ended, with plenty more excitement!

Whether it’s games going down to the wire, commanding wins, big hits or broken records, the 2026 season continues to hit different – and we’re only just getting started!

What does mean for your Fantasy Super League team ahead of Round 3? Let’s look at who is returning to the field and who is likely to miss out of this week’s action…

You can build your Fantasy League team here!

Ins:

Remember! After the Robins’ 2026 Betfred World Club Challenge win last Thursday, both Robins and Wolves players are available again for selection for your Fantasy team (The Wolves were the Robins' scheduled Round 2 opponents).

And after a dream debut in Round 1, youngster Cai Taylor-Wray (£90k) is well worth considering as your Fantasy full-back.

Ben Garcia (£130k)

The firm Fantasy favourite and Dragons captain returns to action after serving his one match suspension he picked up against the Giants in the opening round.

Given their disappointing performance in Round 2, the French outfit certainly need Garcia's leadership heading into their clash with Saints this Saturday.

Ata Hingano (£110k)

The stand-off wrote himself into the Knights’ history books with that drop goal against the champions in Round 1.

He was in the stands watching his side battle it out against the Rhinos in Round 2, however, but and is expected to return this weekend as his side take on the Black & Whites.

Dean Hadley (£130k)

There’s one word to describe Dean Hadley and that is a machine!

The Robins' second rower may have missed Round 1 due to pulling up in the warm-up, but he announced his return to action with a BANG on Thursday night.

Hadley produced a truly sensational display against Brisbane Broncos in his side’s World Club Challenge victory, which would have scored highly in Fantasy had it counted!

He ran over 130 metres, made three tackle busts and attempted 39 tackles in 80 minutes as Hull KR historically beat the NRL Premiers.

'Deano' has also been hailed after finishing Thursday’s game with a suspected fractured eye-socket, but he heads to Las Vegas fully fit and raring to go!

No doubt he will continue to be pivotal to the Robins this season and their mission to defend all titles.

Ash Handley (£130k)

The Rhinos skipper is yet to feature this season, but he’ll be chomping at the bit to play in Vegas!

And head coach Brad Arthur has confirmed his captain will more than likely feature, which means Handley could be a decent shout for your Fantasy side. He's been a consistent performer in the game over recent seasons...

Outs:

Arthur Mourgue (£130k)

The French full-back was taken off in the first half of the World Club Challenge with an injury to the chest which ruled him out for the remainder of the contest.

This is likely to mean a longer term absence too, which is a massive blow for any Fantasy team he’s part of.

His average score was 48 points across 25 matches last season, meaning if Mourgue's injury is as severe as it's being speculated, then he is a huge loss and will need to be replaced.

Sam Hewitt (£100k)

The Giants second-rower has added to his side’s early season troubles after picking up a one match suspension for late contact, as the Giants were narrowly defeated by Wakefield Trinity on Sunday.

He is unavailable for Round 3.

Nene Macdonald (140k)

Saints’ strike centre for the 2026 season joins their growing injury list after being taken off in the first 20 minutes with a leg injury, and it is predicted to be on the side-line for quite some time.

The PNG international accrued 330 Fantasy points in just seven appearances last season. He’ll be a devastating miss to any Fantasy side.

Will Pryce (£150k)

One of the key men for the Black & Whites, full-back Will Pryce, was taken off in the closing stages of their game against the Warriors.

It has since been confirmed that Pryce has ruptured his ACL and won't feature for Hull FC for the rest of the season.

Sadly, it's time to take the star man out of your Fantasy side and choose a new number 1 - although full-back options are limited with potentially Mourgue and then Blake Taaffe and Jack Welsby all out injured.
