    Our 2 red dots, Walters and Brittain play in the last game of the round, and Staggs plays first which help looping.

    Burns (The other guy we'd like a look at) plays last which doesn't help, and Walters/Brittain don't have good positions for playing with a loop

    Simplest loop is as follows

    17. Brittain
    18. AFB
    19. Staggs
    20. Walters
    21. Burns

    If Staggs kills it, we sub our AFB (or Fifita) and get his score
    If Staggs flops we leave as is and look at AFB. If AFB flops as well we put Burns in for Brittain.

    Might be able to work something tricky out with Walters/Ponga to loop through RTS/SJ, so will have a think and see what options we have there

    Yeah that set up makes sense I think.

    I guess Walters at half and Burns at WFB

    then

    17 Brittain
    18 Staggs
    19 AFB
    20 SJ
    21 Ponga

    Gives an alternative double loop.

    Free look at Staggs (with AFB/Fifita) to replace as 17th man if he goes shit.

    And a free look at SJ at the half spot with Ponga to cover 2nd half if SJ is shit (Burns starting WFB)

    The second loop is effectively just covering for an injury/HIA cause SJ would have to go really badly to want to replace his score with what ever Burns might....

    So Im not sure which option is better to be honest.

    Problem with 2nd option is it means starting Burns.

    Is that worth whatever bonus we might get from using the loop?

    If we are confident in Burns it might be doable

    You only start Burns if SJ craps out though. Otherwise its business as usual with SJ at half and Ponga at WFB. Its just some insurance for SJ.

    So which one should we load up guys?

    Seems to me the two options are:
    1) Double loop involving a look at Staggs before choosing whether or not to use AFB/Fifita instead and have insurance of a injury affected game from SJ with the potential to replace him with Burns if he goes terribly.

    or

    2) Pseudo double loop enabling a free look at Staggs - then, as above we choose to either keep him or replace with AFB/Fifita with the added bonus of getting a free look at AFB/Fifita IF Staggs flops with the potential to bring in Burns if they suck too.

    TLDR? Have insurance against an SJ flop, or have insurance against an AFB/Fifita flop (but only if Staggs flops too?

    More flops than Brian Hindmarsh & 3rd man Pieday combined

    2 for me. SJ seems the least likely to flop out of those guys

    1 - Has the advantage of the Staggs loop and the SJ loop being independent of each other

    2 - If we keep Staggs, we can't loop with AFB - we'd be forced into ditching his score with no loops.

    I'd prefer 2, just because I think AFB is more likely to put up a dud score than SJ is.

    I'm assuming we won't want Staggs score, just getting a free look because we can, and just in case he gets another 60.
