Fantasy Ins and Outs

We’re entering the business end of the season. The race for the play-off places is starting to heat up! Head Coaches and fantasy player alike will be hoping their star players return sooner rather than later.

With that in mind let’s run down who’ll be on the pitch for Rivals Returned, and who won’t be part of the action.

If you haven’t already you can make changes to your fantasy team here.

In

Bevan French

The Warriors’ Aussie half-back is part of Matt Peet’s 21-player matchday squad after recovering from a hamstring injury. French has had a stop-start season due to injury; Warriors fans will hope he can stay fit for the final third of the 2026 campaign.

French is by no means cheap (£170K) but the former Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel can elevate any fantasy side and bring in those important fantasy points. Get him in your team before the 6pm deadline on Thursday.

Liam Marshall

Marshall is making his long awaited return to the Warriors. Having been out since April after tearing his hamstring against the Wolves.

He’ll be wanting to make up for lost time and help the Warriors consolidate their place in the top six in the final rounds of the season. Will you put the prolific try scorer in your side for Rivals Returns?

Noah Hodkinson

Hodkinson, who made his Super League debut as Marshall’s replacement has had a stellar first season. In both a playing and fantasy context, he’s racked up 400 fantasy points already!

He’s returned to the matchday squad after recovering from a fractured skull he sustained against the Black & Whites.

Out

Mikey Lewis

The Robins’ star man picked up a four match suspension  last time out in Round 19. Getting rid of Magic Mikey will free up a lot of funds for you to spend elsewhere in your fantasy side.

Taane Milne

The Giants outside back is suspended for the next three fixtures after making unnecessary contact with an injured Warriors player last weekend. If he’s in your side you’d do well to replace him before the Thursday 6pm deadline.
