Fantasy League debrief

Round 21 had it all! Nail-biting thrillers that went to the wire. A fiercely contested local rivalry and tries galore. The 2026 season continues to hit different!

Without further ado, let’s run down who performed well in Round 21 of Fantasy, and who didn’t hit the mark…

Top performers

Harry Robertson – 101 points

The young Saints centre, who was crowned Young Player of the Year in 2025, lined up in the halves against the Knights on Saturday.

His change of position didn’t affect his performance, however, scoring a try and assisting another was just the start.

Robertson also ran for 210 metres, made five clean line breaks and completed a staggering nine tackle busts. His display was one of the positives St Helens can take from a disappointing day in York.

Robertson might be £140k, but he’s a consistent source of Fantasy points for any side. Will you he be part of yours for the weekend?

Harry Rushton – 91 points

Two in two for the Giants’ loose forward. Just like his side! He’ll be hoping he can continue this vein of form until the end of the 2026 season as Huddersfield look to improve.

A try assist was the tip of the iceberg; Rushton also made five tackle busts, a clean line break and ran for 250 metres. An incredible display from the Giants’ number thirteen!

Rushton has racked up nearly 700 Fantasy points this season. Proving in a Fantasy context, at least, that he’s one of the best.

Are you going to put Rushton in your side for Round 22?

Toafofoa Sipley – 90 points

The Wolves prop did it tough at the weekend!

The former New Zealand Warrior ran for 140 metres in just fifteen carries against the Tigers. Including eight tackle busts!

The big man also completed three offloads and crossed the whitewash once!

This isn’t the first time Sipley has appeared on this list. Will you be adding him to your Fantasy side?

Matty Ashton – 82 points

What a day it was for the Wolves speedster. Ashton has loved playing the Tigers this season, having run riot in the previous encounter after returning from an ACL injury. This time round he filled his boots!

Ashton scored two tries and assisted another. He also completed two offloads, two clean line breaks and ran for 200 metres.

Ashton is worth every penny in Fantasy! Will you put him in your side before the Thursday 6pm cut off?

Jake Connor – 73 points

The reigning Man of Steel produced a Player of the Match performance against Toulouse. He was everywhere!

Two tries. Seven goals. And seven attacking kicks were just the start; Connor also made two try assists, and one clean line break.

Only one of a handful of players priced at £170k - Connor is by no means cheap but if you have the funds and need a new half-back, the Leeds maverick should be at the top of your list.

Fantasy flops

Josh Smith – 11 points

The Wolves outside back has enjoyed a brilliant debut Super League season. But he’ll want to forget his performance at the weekend quickly. Where a lot of his teammates cashed in Fantasy points, Smith failed to make a meaningful impact following his side’s victory.

Nick Cotric – 22 points

The experienced centre failed to make any impact as his side fell to a heavy defeat against Trinity on Saturday. He’ll want to do better next time round.
