2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 57

Quick question on loopholing guys, if I have 17 players, can I still do it. My only problem is that I have C. Smith and B Smith so my 17th player (Marsters) will be my AE. Does that make a difference?

My team for this round is
*C. Smith (Not playing)
M. Taupau, M. Eisenhuth,
A. Crichton, P. Gallen, J. Taumalolo, (J. De Belin)R, E. Marsters AE
S. Johnson, D. Cherry Evans
J. Leilua, J. Hayne, (T. Fuimanono)
J. Rapana, J. Tedesco, D. Edwards, (R. Tuivasa Sheck), (C. Walker)

Was thinking S. Johnson VC and Crichton Captain?

Just tuned in on here & it's Randoms birthday. Have a good one champ.

If Marsters is an AE then no. If you swap you're captain out, you will get the VC points but Marsters points and not the C. Unless you can get 4 R's on players, you can't and by the looks of that squad, no it won't work.

Happy Birthday Random!!!

Have a good one mate!!

Caption this..:

Classic catch from old Alfie. Had a good chuckle when it happened. Crowd behind him went up as though a try was scored. Not sure what was better, Alfies catch or Cronks kick to Val for the try. Damn

Cheers mate, I had a funny feeling it wouldn't work.
Who is everyone picking for captain this week? I think I'm gonna go Crichton.

Cash out one of them FBs to a NPR. Then make Marster a reserve. Means you can "loophole and have $ITB.
I can't do that sort of stuff with only two trades left.

All good, thanks mate, I don't have many trades left either lol. Will just stick with what I have.
I have C. Munster, C. Smith, N. Brown and hopefully J. Graham to come back into my team next week.

Any updated news on James graham return?

Happy Birthday Randomsil!

Running with 16 this week but own both the 18th men in the Warriors v Panthers game, so still slight potential to get a full squad. Come on CNK and Leota- I desperately need the 15 odd points either of you will provide!

Considering Manners or SJ VC with JDB or Surgess C.

I'm going with Mannering, he's been playing well and sort of under the radar as I haven't seen many people mention him.

Hopefully it works!

Also, i thought teams had to reduce their lists to 19 within 24 hours of the game. NRL.com has lists the Dragons as a 20 man squad which includes Paul Vaughan. Something to do with the special injury exemption? I thought this was not allowed under the new rules.

Nice Choices! It's a pity Taupau and Taumalolo's scores are so inconsistent. I want to put the c on one of them but it's a bit risky.

He has been going great guns! Wish I had him.

They get to name extra players cause they had a couple in origin.
