Fantasy League Debrief
4 hrs
Round 5 of the Betfred Super League hit different.
Familiar fan favourites returned to the action with a bang, hard fought encounters went down to the wire and there was some dominant and dazzling displays.
Let’s dive into the standout performers of Round 5’s Betfred Super League drama…
If you haven’t already you can build your team here!
Top performers
Kelepi Tanginoa (102 points)
Tanginoa has become a fan favourite since join Wire from champions Hull KR.
The second rower loves the physical side of the game and is never afraid to put his body on the line, that’s for sure!
Saturday’s performance in the sunshine against the Tigers certainly cemented his worth into this side. Tanginoa scored four tries, which was part of an overall electric performance – with three clean breaks, nine tackle busts and two offloads, meaning he racked up plenty of Fantasy points.
Priced at £120k, Tanginoa could provide great value if his weekend’s performance is anything to go by.

Jayden Nikorima (84 points)
What a way to announce yourself to your new fans! Expectations would have been high for the stand-off after joining the Bulls for 2026, and Nikorima more than repaid their faith in his Super League debut for the Bulls on Friday!
Nikorima scored two tries and assisted a third, ran 70 metres and bust seven tackles. It was the ultimate half-back display!
If you’re searching for a new stand-off in your Fantasy side, the Bulls number six should be at the top of your list.
Tyrone May (79 points)
The Robins scrum-half was one of the bright lights in Saturday’s match against the Dragons in the south of France!
May scored one try, assisted one try and broke seven tackles, despite being on the losing side in Round 5.
Hull KR haven’t had the start to the season they hoped for, but May can hold his head up high after his performance.
In need of a new number 7 for your Fantasy side? May could be your man…
Matty Ashton (79 points)
It’s time to bring Matty Ashton back into your Fantasy teams!
The long-awaited return of star winger Ashton was definitely worth the wait - for both himself and Wolves fans.
After nearly a year out of action with both an MCL and ACL injury, the 27-year-old made his comeback in sensational style.
Ashton bagged a hat-trick in his first game back, running 150 metres and making four line-breaks, reminding everyone why he’s one of the best wingers in the competition!
He may be a more expensive choice at £160k, but he’s predicted to provide a consistent source of Fantasy points for any team.
Ashton could be a very strong option if you’ve got the funds…
Zac Lipowicz (79 points)
The Dragons' second rower is known to be full of heart, always putting his body on the line and doing the hard graft for his side.
Two try-scorer Lipowicz impressed on Saturday night as the Dragons went on to defeat the Robins. Will you be including him in your Fantasy team this week?
Fantasy flops
Mikaele Ravalawa (6 points)
The Cas winger is yet to impress in 2026 and made numerous errors in Round 5 against the Wolves.
Cooper Jenkins (25 points)
It was a low-scoring performance for Cooper Jenkins where Fantasy was concerned, in comparison to his spectacular showing in Las Vegas.
He’ll be hoping he can showcase himself better in Round 6.
Tom Davies (27 points)
The Robins winger hasn’t had the impact he would have wanted in 2026 so far, with just 123 Fantasy points accumulated so far; lacking the output he provided in 2025. The speedster will hope for a change in fortunes in the weeks ahead.
