I Have that issue next round, being in San Fran, also being after SOO too with more late in's and outs than normal.

SOO 3am Tuesday morning I think too.

Fuck me that is the single greatest loophole I've ever seen

Yep 242 points all from the one player is the highest I have ever seen in my team.

351 from 3 players is mental.

That would make me hate the Loophole even more lol

Im very nervous about captain J Lo'lo. Need a 70+ just to feel ok about not having crichtons double points.

I totally feel you...

Congrats to all the lucky bastards out there. If I was less on to my real life shit, I would be one of them.

Great news about Lolo cracking the ton though...

When will my total points update for my loophole? When Gallen plays?

I was going to ask the same question. I assume so. I have JDB captain so I'll have to wait until Sunday.

Down to 10 trades which is a bit of a worry but barring any injuries/suspensions I won't have to trade until round 18. Really need to work on my halves/centers/wing-fullbacks with the rest of my trades. My team value is around 9.9 million so hopefully I can get Pearce, Rapana and Teddy into my side after the byes. Those 3 are my main targets at this stage.

I've noticed when you look at your leagues it hasn't, but if you view match up, it shows the proper total in there. A little annoying they can't get it to show properly in the main screen.

Wow team value 9.9m. You really are a magician. I agree on getting Pearce & Rapana but I'm not sure on Tedesco. I think since Lolohea has joined the Tigers he's taking the line on more rather than passing the ball on so I might be wrong but Tedesco will see less ball on attack. I don't think Tedesco will get those monster scores.

Further to this and what pisses me off even more is that Surgess himself in a pre-game interview said he done the injury on Tuesday. FFS how does this get kept out of the news.

I don't buy he was rested either because Souths needed to win this badly and he has the bye next weeks so can be rested then.

Anyone that used the loophole in round 12. When did you loophole points show up on the main screen & when did your rank after the loophole change.

did you see what happened to gurgess? i didnt get to catch the second half. cheers

He didn't seem to do too much wrong although he did shirk his responsibility with hit ups. He had 1 real good hit up and maybe 1 other, so 2 hit ups in 19 minutes is pretty lazy so maybe was hooked because the replacements done the job despite Musgrave making an error that led to a try. Never came back after his 1st stint and his brother was preferred

Yeah I've done a decent job in downgrading at the right time and then using that money to go to a gun.

Teddy is fairly cheap at the moment and I'm hoping he gets even cheaper post Origin. I could do a straight swap of Cotric to him right now but that'd be silly during Origin. Hopefully he has a good end to the season and leaves the Tigers on a good note.

Not getting Rapana a few weeks ago has hurt though. Now I'm going to have to pay top dollar for him which sucks.

I posted a couple of hours before lockout that there was an unconfirmed rumour that Surgess was out. Even though it was unconfirmed I posted it for people who were thinking of buying Surgess because I saw a couple of previous posts reflecting this. The guy that posted it on facebook re sc addicts apparently was a very reliable source especially re Souths & has never been wrong. He knew the training staff & has reliable contacts at other clubs.

Also I got Bromwich this week purely because a) bye schedule (same reason I got Brown and Munster this week) and b) he has almost bottomed out and I'm just praying he stops sucking lol. I won't need him after the byes but hopefully he gets some decent scores over the next 3 weeks.

Yeah the app says Crichton points as 242 but the webpage doesn't. Assuming I did it right lol
