Fantasy Super Rugby

@taniwharugby hope they have a Fantasy Rugby for the Bunnings NPC but we all know it will take NZ Rugby another 20 years to sign that off and by then the NPC be well and truly a distant memory

Thanks @Canes4life I enjoyed it even if it was a bit frustrating. Fairly happy with 14th place given how little thought I put into it

@Steven-Harris cant see it sadly....there used to be one many years ago, was a pretty good one too.

Does it say anywhere how many players there are in total? e.g. it has me at about 5000th overall, but out of how many? I can't seem to find that anywhere

I think there were around 34K when the season kicked off, so you're not doing badly.

They sent a season wrap today.

Over 70,000 played.

I was in the top 2k. 4th in the ferners league 😎

They did a team of the comp too, but I can't find that. I remember being blindsided Hooper was blindside.

Not a bad shift, I managed to sneak into the top 3k, pretty happy with that.

Well done mate, I got caught out a few times playing it from London, meant i couldn't react to some late scratchings. Was hard ro really gauge form too relying on watching highlights most of the time.

Incidently, i got 4th in the planet rugby league as well.

They can improve it next year, i dont think i ever had to compromise my selection due to salary cap issues.

Pretty cool that the league was played from 187 countries!

Seems like it has been a big success on fan engagement for super rugby👍

Well played.

I hope they bring in injury replacements next year, so if a player goes down in the first 10 mins you can swap him out. I also hope they reduce the salary you can spend on your team to make it more challenging.

@Canes4life the old one they used to do (c 2000 - 2010, player values fluctuated, you had like 3 trades a round I think (which wasnt ideal, especially with so many byes in current format, so what they could do is allow unlimited trades on players in bye week or listed as injured, subject to your salary obviously)

7 months later

For those of you that are interested, I have created a new league for this year's Super Rugby Fantasy competition. If you are interested you can join the Ferner's 2026 league here - https://playfantasyrugby.com/super/leagues/join/TG50ZK14

Let me know if anyone has any issues accessing?

Kruse

Have they lowered the budget from last year?
They also seem to have much more nuanced "Value" as of now.
Am hoping for further improvements... like those rankings changing week-by-week.

BTW - the fact that 8% of people have selected Roigard on the 'Canes' bye week... should put everybody's ranking into perspective.

Interested to hear who some people think could be some solid pick ups.

I think Pasitoa will be a good acquisition as a midfield back if he is picked at 10 for the Landers and goal kicks.

The other guy I think could be worth a go if he starts is Israel Leota out of MP. Had big wraps at the Broncos and could be their go to winger.

SouthernMann

There is also a bit of a fame to try and find the goal kickers who aren't playing first five. Adding some extra points.
