Would be stupid of me not to loophole right?

Yes. I wouldn't ruin your Captain choice based on it, but should be able to set the VC on someone decent prior to your Captain. That's all that needs to be done at this stage.

Oh by the way I have dropped Milf to the NPRs this week. Everyone that is playing him is welcome.

JDB or Munster for vice?

Mannering(c)

Definitely JDB, He should surely get some huge points.

I'm doing the JDB VC Manners C, get on!

Welcome to my squad (c) JDB.

What can I do with my team?

Smith
Fifita Graham
JDB, Harris, Surgess
Pearce, Hunt
Bird, Leuluai
Munster, Gutherson, Aitken

Reserves: Andrew Mcc, J Brom, James, Cleary

Also have Bodene Thompson and 3 trades left.

Cant really see where I can improve? Hunt/Gutherson Out looks to be the only "Upgrade".

Thanks...

As you mentioned, Hunt and Gutherson are probably your weakest links, along with Bird, but all are more than capable of out scoring the competition.
Players missing are Tedesco, Johnson, Merrin, Mannering, Croker and possibly Gallen and James.

Thanks Chucky. I traded in Bird alst week actually for CLaw, just wanted somebody a bit different. Tedesco has been somewhat quite recently, even Gutherson has been out scoring him lol. Maybe that means Tedesco is going to go Boom to finish the season...

If you have 3 trades left do you bring in Gallen for Whitehead so you don't have to play ET/Brom as a reserve??

No trades left and Johnson gets an injury that takes him out for three weeks?

Well that alone is enough to convince me to keep Milf. Just got to decide what to do with Rein if he ends up getting benched again

(c) De Merrining.

Is that Camdrew De Merrining

Apparently I have decided I don't want any Taylors in my team anymore

ATay ---> Littlejohn
ETay ---> Fifita

Team now

Smith (Friend)
Fifita, Graham (Surgess)
Parker, Merrin, Whitehead (James, Harris)
Cleary, Hunt
Aitken, Gutherson
Tedesco, Munster, Barba

Possibly gain 20 points a week with ET out of the 17 and Fifita in.
Possibly ET scores back to back 70s and Fifita breaks his leg. :/

Here's hoping That Gillett's return aides Ben Hunt in getting under 10 missed tackles

So Rein has been benched. Straight swap to Jake Friend leaving 22k in the bank or should I take a punt on Damien Cook and free up some cash for an emergency trade I'll need down the line. Either way I'll only have one trade left but Rein has got to go.

I have been trying to come up with options for rein all week. The best I have come up with is cook in. If he is playing 80 he is as good as any of the second tier hok. But I think I will wait a week to make sure he scores ok and is picked for the next round. This will give me enough cash to trade French to Hayne.

I'm not 100% convinced Fifita will play this week. Might be best not to put the C or VC on him in case he's a late withdrawal, if your DPPs will allow for a reversal. But maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Id go Friend, proven keeper

100% Friend, back playing 80 and some huge scores with little to no attacking stats and a heap of missed tackles
