As long as Gallen is in your npr's (non playing reserves), you have 4 reserves & less than 17 playing it will work.

Players Playing

Vaughan Brown
JDB Gallen (c) Crichton (vc) Surgess LOLO Stimson
Munster
Scott Fui
Walker MWZ

If I move replace gallen with LOLO will I get the loophole and is it worth it?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Soward scored 120-something when he came on the scene under the old scoring rules. 120 would've been a lot harder to score back then.

Matt Scott got a similar score last year, didn't he?

Do you have 17 players or less this round????????????????????
Once you put Gallen to the sideline, is there any other player in your NPR's that will get points????????????
If YES, then you will only get the lowest scoring player of all those as an AE score.
If NO, then Gallen will become you're AE scorer.

That's why, this only works if you have 17 players or LESS, otherwise you will lose you're captain's score.........................

Yes & definitely yes. The general rule is any score over 60 or 65 you loophole.

Yes mate, it is definately worth it. You will get Chrichton's score doubled and Gallen's score as an AE.......................

I have 13 players and I could move a player to the sideline and reverse him. But is it worth losing gallen for 121 points when I could play LOLO and Gallen together and get more points.

You will get Gallen's score as an a.e. So you will get Crichton's 242 points & both Taumalolo's & Gallen's scores.

Ponga not playing 20s apparently...

Out of SMat, Cotric, Sulli and Fui, who would be best to cashout?

I was thinking SMat so I can upgrade Sulli to TTurbo but I'm now thinking Sulli to BJ. He seems to be improving with his last 2 game average at 50 points. If I go with BJ it'll leave me with enough cash to trade in a gun wfb like Rapana.

There are positives and negatives for both options so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah the rumour is he's playing tonight in first grade. Ray Thompson has been carrying an injury so maybe he's out & Coote will go to the halves. It's all speculation though.

Should we have a separate thread for loophole questions, deadset its mean explained a million times on here, if you dont know how to do it yet, there is no hope for you.

Just adding pictures to make it easier I think I did it right.

Looking at a score of 800+ instead of 700ish... thank you Angus!

6 players on the park tonight... hopefully Gallen and Lolo will score 60ish (just so I can maximise the Angus captaincy advantage)

It doesn't hurt to read it as much as it hurts someone who is not sure to stuff it up.  The forum has always been about helping B/L, you know that.

I would cash out Cotric. After round 15 Sione has no more byes & after round 16 Fui has no more byes. Up to round 20 Cotric has broncos, cowboys, dragons, storm. For Suli he has sharks, titans, knights, manly, eels. So Suli plays 1 extra game than Cotric & has easier games so I would cash out Cotric.
