Shaun Johnson and the Warriors' best game of the season propped up faithful owners in Round 25 of Fantasy NRL.
Broncos 18 Knights 26
The star: Andrew McCullough (62pts) - The Broncos may have lost this game but all the fantasy points were on their side of the ledger. McCullough has
been on fire of late, passing the 60-point mark in five of his past six appearances.
The dud: Sam Thaiday (29pts) - His lowest fantasy score of the year came courtesy of a yellow card. It's time to start thinking of sides who are in the playoffs, so Thaiday may no longer be relevant for your squad.
Value pick: Joseph BJ Leilua (50pts) - Leilua's had a couple of big games like this this season but has been largely irrelevant to fantasy players.
Tigers 18 Rabbitohs 32
The star: Issac Luke (63pts) - That's two big weeks in a row for Luke who seems to be peaking at the right time of the season for his owners.
The dud: Bryson Goodwin (18pts) - He's very cheap but widely-owned, so this was a disappointing week against a Tigers side who have leaked plenty of points to fantasy backs of late.
Value pick: George Burgess (36pts) - Not his biggest week of the year but he needs to be pointed out as one of the cheapest front row options going around that is likely to play right through the finals.
Warriors 50 Raiders 16
The star: Shaun Johnson (77pts) - This was bound to happen at some point this season, Johnson turned it on. Three tries, seven scoring kicks, 173 metres gained and three line breaks. By far his biggest fantasy day of the year.
The dud: Joel Edwards (22pts) - This was one of his worst fantasy days of 2013 for one of the best fantasy locks in our game. This game may signal the end of his relevance to your squad.
Value pick: Manu Vatuvei (54pts) - I advised owners to avoid Manu until he showed signs of life and those signs all came flooding through at once against the Raiders, so hopefully you didn't take my advice. Three tries, 233 metres gained and two line breaks made up his best day of the year.
Bulldogs 34 Panthers 14
The star: Kevin Kingston (55pts) - The Panthers were made to make more than their fair share of tackles in this one and Kingston was the beneficiary. However, he's another solid fantasy asset that will lose his value after the coming round.
The dud: David Simmons (4pts) - Simmons' recent good form left him against the Bulldogs and he's no longer relevant with another tough match up this weekend against the Sea Eagles.
Value pick: Trent Hodkinson (53pts) - He had a shocker last week but bounced back in a big way against the Panthers. For $165k he's a decent playoff half back for an in-form Doggies side.
