If last night isn't a plug for bye planning I don't know what is!!

No doubt about it, this round will shake up the top 10. Without the vc on Crichton it'll be a tough round.

(vc) on Crichton for me too. Only plonker in my team was Gurgess who took 1 run all game and barely got on the field...

The thing with first is he couldn't trade in souths or eels player or he would be short next week quite curious on the trades he made

Yeah, I agree. Im not concerned about 1st (current) at all. His squad is just way to shallow. Which means among other things he doesn't have the cash to be adding guns at this stage....

I'd be surprised if he is still in the top 10 by round 20.

"UNBELIEVABLE"    

Once Taumololo scored 88, I did the loophole,

but CAPEWELL,

In round 12 he scored 37 and was thinking that anything around a 35 and I would be happy, but are you fucking kidding me (124).

Congrats mate, glad u came out unscathed without vc chrichton. In fact u r now smashing it, who would have thought huh, CAPEWELL! Was that bye planning genius or did u gave him from day dot?

By the way, how crazy are the scores this week. I'm tracking to ~900 with 14. No doubt many others 900+ too!

Averages put me at 845.

Surgess and Crichton will be everywhere at the top. But VC choice will be a differentiator.

Guys with Capewell could see a nice jump.

I'll be death riding McInnes and Vaughan today. They are popular but not owned by me.

Thanks mate. I got Capewell just before round 12 as a 30-35 point player while Sharkies had their byes. "Genius" NO WAY, just a fluke.

870 for me.

No Vaughan a killer. He's popular and I don't have him

977 for me. My two trades were bang on: Vaughan and Scott.

900/12

Traded in Brown, Scott and Vaughan this week which worked out.

You and Pacey will overtake Milchy then. Will you all overtake first? Guess it depends if he looped or not. Hopefully he had Gallen captain.

Should have 17 next week with no trades required as long as no injuries in origin and they back up.

I likely have 18 next week but unless I trade will take an AE because I have 3 centres unavailable

5th place still the one to watch I reckon. Can't remember what I've got next week. 16 maybe?

Well done. 910 for me. Got Vaughan in too

Ended up on 957.
Someone in Bullbenders league called (Trajan) is on 1110. That's one of the highest I've ever seen in this comp. Whoever that is, Nice work........................................

Trajan is a member of the forum.

He was posting in the NRLF forum the other day (Sat) I think, complaining about the repetitious asking of "how do I loophole" in the main thread, and the suggestion that there should be a separate thread exolaining and/or discussing how the NRLF loophole works, instead of clogging up the main thread.

P.S. I'm on 1034 atm before updates.

Thanks ST.
I remember now, with him and Wolfking.
Nice score mate.

Thanks mate. The KOD gods have been messing with me in most rounds so far this season, but luckily they have taken their eyes off me this week and last week. LOL

1100 is supercoach scores. I should have 17 next week without trades

Maybe not genius, but a good plug for bye planning when u get a bit of luck! Who would have thought huh, that could be season defining stuff right there!!

Looking forward to seeing how the other teams went when it unlocks. Im guessing a few teams would have made some good trades but the key to success this week, except for those that managed to nab Capewell's score, really is vc'ing Crichton. Im hoping a few in the top 10 didnt, particularly 5th place. Although I'm wondering how he is placed for next round with so many Bunnies and Eels playing in round 15 for him! (he had 9 so I guess at best he'll have 16 before trades).
