The Fantasy King: Round 26
By Mick Adams Well, we’ve finally made it. Congratulations to anyone playing a fantasy grand final this weekend.

The Fantasy King: Round 19
By Mick Adams Finally, the tyranny of the Origin period comes to a close, setting the stage for a massive month of fantasy. Naturally, we haven’t emerged from the last couple of months unscathed, with Paul Gallen and Jarryd Hayne the most notable casualty ward members, giving fantasy players sizeable headaches.
