Fullback

Dylan Edwards (Panthers vs Eels) — 32% selected

Edwards has scored 72, 39 and 75 in 2026, a 62 avg through three rounds. The Eels have allowed 57 avg GDS to opposing fullbacks in 2026. His R3 score of 75 showed his ceiling is as high as any fullback.

Wingers

Sualauvi Faalogo (Storm vs Cowboys) — 49% selected

Faalogo has scored 59, 97 and 61 in 2026, a 72 avg through three rounds. Although his GDS position is WNG, he plays fullback for the Storm. The Cowboys have allowed 58 avg GDS to opposing fullbacks in 2026.

Thomas Jenkins (Panthers vs Eels) — Left Wing — 15% selected

Jenkins has scored 89, 29 and 94 in 2026. His ceiling is enormous with two 89+ scores in three rounds. The Eels have allowed 42 avg GDS to opposing left wingers in 2026.

Centres

Herbie Farnworth (Dolphins vs Broncos) — Left Centre — 71% selected

Farnworth has scored 53, 62 and 52 in 2026, the most consistent centre in the comp with a 56 avg. The Broncos have allowed just 17 avg GDS to opposing left centres in 2026, the lowest in the league. The matchup is tough, but Farnworth’s floor is the highest of any centre.

Adam Doueihi (Wests Tigers vs Warriors) — 42% selected

Doueihi (GDS: CTR) has scored 94 and 47 in 2026. He’s named at halfback, not centre. When starting in the halves across 2025 and 2026, Doueihi has averaged 62 GDS compared to just 42 at centre. One to watch: Doueihi came off late against the Rabbitohs in R3 with a hamstring issue. He could be a late withdrawal, which makes him a risky selection this week. If he’s ruled out, the best centre pivot is Stephen Crichton (Bulldogs vs Knights, scored 37 and 51 in 2026). Crichton offers additional upside as the Bulldogs’ goal kicker in a favourable matchup for the Bulldogs.

Halves

Nathan Cleary (Panthers vs Eels) — 81% selected

Cleary has scored 60, 95 and 57 in 2026. The Eels have allowed 49 avg GDS to opposing halfbacks in 2026. Cleary is set and forget.

Nicholas Hynes (Sharks vs Raiders) — 40% selected

Hynes has scored 102, 38 and 59 in 2026, a 66 avg. The Raiders have allowed 50 avg GDS to opposing halfbacks in 2026.

Edge Forwards

Dylan Lucas (Knights vs Bulldogs) — Left Edge — 43% selected

Lucas has scored 61, 56 and 63 in 2026, a 60 avg which is the most consistent edge forward through three rounds. The Bulldogs have allowed 53 avg GDS to opposing left edge second rowers in 2026.

Jacob Preston (Bulldogs vs Knights) — Right Edge — 51% selected

Preston has scored 75 and 56 in 2026. The Knights have allowed 50 avg GDS to opposing right edge second rowers in 2026.

Middle Forwards

Terrell May (Wests Tigers vs Warriors) — 52% selected

May has scored 58 and 58 in 2026. The Warriors have allowed 33 avg GDS to opposing props in 2026. The matchup doesn’t stand out, but May’s proven 2025 form and consistent 2026 output drive the selection.

Isaah Yeo (Panthers vs Eels) — 47% selected

Yeo has scored 48, 55 and 63 in 2026, trending upwards with a 55 avg. The Eels have allowed 27 avg GDS to opposing locks in 2026. The matchup at lock isn’t ideal, but Yeo’s consistent upward trend and his role in the Panthers’ attack make him a premium selection regardless.

Stefano Utoikamanu (Storm vs Cowboys) — 41% selected

Utoikamanu has scored 51, 70 and 62 in 2026, a 61 avg. The Cowboys have allowed 40 avg GDS to opposing props in 2026.

Hooker

Blayke Brailey (Sharks vs Raiders) — 45% selected

Brailey has scored 55, 54 and 67 in 2026, trending upwards with a 59 avg. The Raiders have allowed 32 avg GDS to opposing hookers in 2026. Brailey’s guaranteed 80 minutes and consistent output override the matchup data.

Third Half

Jayden Campbell (Titans vs Dragons) — 37% selected

Campbell scored 86 in R3, his first game of the 2026 season. The Dragons have allowed 68 avg GDS to opposing halfbacks in 2026 (Galvin 72, Hughes 58, Moses 73), the highest in the league. That’s the best halves matchup of the round and Campbell is the #1 ranked player in the projections this week.

Bench Backs

James Tedesco (Roosters vs Sea Eagles) — 57% selected

Tedesco has scored 70, 47 and 63 in 2026, a 60 avg. The Sea Eagles have allowed 46 avg GDS to opposing fullbacks in 2026.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow (Dolphins vs Broncos) — 32% selected

Hammer has scored 58, 79 and 33 in 2026. The Broncos have allowed 70 avg GDS to opposing fullbacks in 2026, the highest in the league. That makes this the best fullback matchup of the round. Against the Broncos in 2025 (2 games) Hammer averaged 43 and scored a try.

Bench Forwards

Samuela Fainu (Wests Tigers vs Warriors) — Left Edge — 13% selected

Fainu has scored 77 and 72 in 2026, a 75 avg which is the highest of any edge forward. The Warriors have allowed 45 avg GDS to opposing left edge second rowers in 2026. At 13% he’s a strong POD.

Patrick Carrigan (Broncos vs Dolphins) — 17% selected

Carrigan has scored 43, 55 and 47 in 2026. The Dolphins have allowed 47 avg GDS to opposing locks in 2026. Carrigan’s matchup is solid, and this week Payne Haas is not named for the Broncos. Across 18 career games without Haas, Carrigan has averaged 59 GDS compared to 46 with him. That 13‑point uplift transforms his projection this week and puts him firmly in squad contention.

This squad is built on 2026 form and verified opposition scoring data. The best matchups are Hammer vs the Broncos (70 avg allowed to FLBs, highest in the comp), Campbell vs the Dragons (68 avg allowed to HBs, highest in the comp), and the Carrigan Haas‑out uplift (59 avg without Haas across 18 career games). The POD edge comes from Carrigan (17%), Fainu (13%), Jenkins (15%), and Campbell (37%).
