Trials Round 3 Preview (NRL Fantasy 2026)

Once again we find ourselves with a blend of serious and unserious coaches, with some coaches happy to park their Ethan S. ferraris and troll fantasy coaches with a third Ethan in the halves, while others trot out what is obviously a round 1 team list (or close to it). We unveil what we are looking for in these trial matches, and a surprise elite gun dual centre/wing fullback option we are looking at for round 1 if the chips fall his way.

NRL Fantasy 2026 - Mid Rangers - Possibles

As with the cheapies, the mid range also offers a variety of "possibles" options, where their range of outcomes is wide or their role uncertain, hence why they have landed in that spot. If you pick one of these players and they pop off, they are likely a great point of difference option. If they don't, you will find yourself trading them sooner rather than later. Can you pick the right one?

NRL Fantasy 2026 - Cash Cows - Possibles

We are back with part 2 of our "cash cows" analysis, where we look at the riskier and/or less secure and/or less obvious cash cow options, but that doesn't mean they won't be good money makers if the role lands the right way in 2026. Getting the right cash cows in your team is essential, so don't miss these niche ones.
