A) Bodene & Gutherson
B) Cartwright & Barba
C) Johnson & Barba

Bodene, Johnson and Cartwright score better than Barba and Gutherson. Lol

I think B or C will be better than A

How's everyone going in there Fanatics League, Fanatics Overall and Overall?

Currently 3rd in L6, and 10th Overall in Fanatics Overall League. 

And 278th a Overall. 

I've by far exceeded my own expectations for the year.

Well I'm only a part of that open Fanatics league with the 400+ people and I'm 38th in that. Top 10% so guess that's good.

Currently 878th in overall and well it's below my expectations considering last year I finished 398th in overall despite never having owned Smith or RTS at any point during the year.

There's about a dozen and one better choices I could have made that I dare say might have propelled me well into the top 200. Some of these choices include running with James Graham instead of Aaron Woods at the start, C'ing Smith every week except the post Origin matches and picking up Cody Walker at some stage.

VC Johnson
C Gallen

I'll have 17 if Munster plays. I was tempted to VC James and C Johnson just to mix it up but nah haha

Lol. I started with Woods too, and never owned Walker. My biggest regrets are trading in RTS the week before he got injured, to have a dream back 3 of Tedesco, Munster and RTS. And missing the boat on Fifita and Cartwright.

Gallen over bodene?
Claw to tturbo seems a bit sideways. Tturbos numbers are not that impressive...

Yeah I've been tossing up between Bodene and Gallen. Unless they're bringing him in this round, literally no one ahead of me has Gallen as far as I could see, I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. With Claw, it's just a gut feeling. Nothing to base it on but I feel like he will average about 35 like he did at the start of the year, which is actually averaging about 30.6 if you average it out including this weeks game he misses. Whereas with Turbo, I think with an extended run at FB and Manly starting to find some form he could be anything.

How does one loophole? If I wanted to do it this week with this team, what do I do? Never done it before.

Smith
James JBrom
Carty Surgess
Pearce Johnson
Hurrell Guth
Barba Gordon Mansour

PODene didn't fly to Perth apparently, no genuine source but gaining momentum.

Yeah stayed back for rehab on an ankle problem apparently.

Ah so begins the late season disaster period for Fantasy. I've gone from having 16 players to 13 with the news of Bodene not travelling to Perth. Maybe even less with Smith a chance to be rested

How reliable is this? Anyone got a source? Just traded him in and was so pumped to have him in the team but looks like it'll have to be Paul 'probably going to play 40mins a game until finals because he's old' Gallen.

Please don't be true.

Work out who your solid Captain choice is.
Work out who your VC that could go LARGE is AND plays before your Captain.
If your VC goes LARGE then swap out your C with an NPR.

For your team example, JBrom as C and SJ as VC (Cam is a worry this week).
If SJ scores under 60 (my personal "loophole is on" score) then do nothing.
If SJ scores 60 or more then sub JBrom out for an NPR.
SJ's score will double (eventually) and you will still get JBrom's score as your AE.

SI please don't be playing with my emotions. This was meant to be my 1000 point round

Don't own Bodene but I do own Mannering & if Bodene's out then Mannering will get put in the 2fr so I hope Bodene does play.

Not sure when they normally do their Captain's Run but still hope it's all bullshit.

Ditto.

Good thing warriors play 2nd, so can reverse the trade if need be.

The guy saying it on the Warriors FB page is trustworthy.

"Yeah he told my mate earlier the week hes not coming. As he was suppose to bring charity stuff to perth. But gave it to Manu to give instead."

I could very well be wrong but didn't Bodene get injured around this time last year.

Anyone got Gillett?  He is out according to official Broncs page.
