It has been a long year.

SI's rant is spot on.  The issues come from poor phrasing in the rules.

The new loophole is described in the rules. And if you refusing to do it would be like refusing to use DPP trades

My opinion on what the rules *should* be is ranked subs with a hard lockout.

No loopholes, and no need to check final teams all weekend. And no difference between a late withdrawal in the 2nd game of the weekend compared to the last.

Rabbit wrote:The only problem I have with the loophole, is that it rewards poor bye planning. You must have 17 or less. Players who have planned well get punished.

I know what you are saying but I disagree. If you look at it another way it rewards perfect bye planning. If you can nail it so your players are equally dispersed across 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, and 19. In theory you could loophole for most if not all of those rounds. Bit harder in NRL.com, but that's roughly where I am at in VTSD. Bye round numbers are/were something along the lines of 16, 17, 15, 16, 15, 17 for those rounds. At this stage im in a position where I can loophole for all 6 of those rounds.

Don't see why you want more than 17 in a major bye round. You don't get extra points for depth and it would leave you severely short in the other bye rounds

Dean Whare is your best bet.

Almost base price, no more byes. Has the capability to score big (but probably won't)

Stew can get his hands on a couple of cheap DVD players that should play anytime if Filthridden is interested.
