NRL Fantasy Winners & Losers: Round 14

While Round 14 saw two major surprises among the top three scorers, big numbers from some of Fantasy's most popular stars also ensured four-digit scores were within reach for many coaches.

Here's a wrap of the best and worst from the week that was in NRL Fantasy. 

Round 14 Fantasy Winners

It would have been a wild suggestion to make before the 2025 season began, but Thomas Jenkins is officially a round-topping Fantasy player.

Just about everything the Penrith CTR/WFB touched against the Wests Tigers turned to gold, with a remarkable five line breaks, 12 tackle busts and three tries helping him to 96 points on the day.

Propelled by his third try in two games, and the extra five minutes afforded to him by golden point, Manly EDG Haumole Olakau'atu followed closely behind on 95.

Having been a decidedly average Fantasy player for most of 2025, Raiders HLF Ethan Strange was another surprise performer, with his 5772 owners watching on as his smashed through 13 would-be tackles and registered a double on his way to 88.

Jahrome Hughes, Fletcher Sharpe and Keaon Koloamatangi all had 86. 

A 73 for Hudson Young means the Raiders EDG now has 70+ scores in three of his past four games.

It was another round in which HOK-eligible players really struggled, with Mitch Kenny - who ranked way down outside the top 30 on 60 points - the best of them. 

While he was a way off the top scores for the week, Round 14's top captaincy choice, Terrell May (77), was still the top performer from the 'big three' captaincy options, with Nathan Cleary finishing on 64, one ahead of Payne Haas. 

Round 14 Fantasy Losers 

It was a horror sight for a large chunk of Fantasy coaches as popular WFB/CTR Savelio Tamale went down with a game-ending knee injury on Sunday with just one point to his name.

With early indications suggesting he will now miss multiple months of action, Tamale is an immediate sell for the 76,200 who have him. 

A promising 54 in his first start at five-eighth last week was a distant memory for Heath Mason as he fell off 11 tackles (-22 points) and finished with just four.

Knights forward Tyson Frizell scored a point per minute against Manly, with the only trouble being that his game only lasted five before he was ruled out by a head knock.
