Im giving him one more game.

Who would be a trade in priority Griffin or Rochow?

I'm keeping Lichaa, expecting a better score this week. If he tanks again then I'll go to Murray next week (if Murray looks the goods)

Same thoughts. If Lichaa doesn’t hit 45 this week I will be trading him for Griffin next week. Browny wants an 80 minute hooker and Griffin is the man in line for the job

I am very intrigued in how to become a mod

For 4 easy payments of $49.95 I can enrol you in my on-line course., ‘The finer points to excelling in modmanship.’

I happen to be one of the former great mods. If there was an immortal status.....I’d be the first inductee. Let me know if you would like the PayPal details.

Katoa > Thompson done.
Will give SST one more week and get Murray next week if things go well. Shouldnt cost me more than 66k

Screw it I'm gonna reverse trades and do Katoa loophole

He was in my 18-21 last week and I just can't pick who to actually drop for him (Playing forwards are Lodge/Arrow/Brown/Merrin/RFM then bench Cook/Lichaa/Griffin/Rochow).. Lichaa Lodge Arrow I see improvement in, and the rest scored well. Hmmm

Lodge or Arrow. They’re both duds

The fantasy gods will punish the loopholers with fiery vengeance.

Did the same trade. Will also give SST one more week.

Wait what’s the Katoa loophole? Run him in the 13 as captain?

2 shots at WFB. Milchcow explained it earlier. Isaako 20 Hiku 19 Croker 21. If Isaako scores good swap Hiku and Croker

My suspicion is that they check hooker first, then frf, 2tf, half, CTR, WFB in that order.

Might set up a dummy team to test it out

That would be awesome thanks Milchcow

Guys, I think you are dreaming and telling yourselves what you want to hear.

No matter how well he goes, ARey will be back in starting soon as he's 80-90% fit.

If Douehie steps up, you might see him vying for the 5/8 spot with Walker. Or centre. I don’t know how Siebold thinks yet, but Walker FB, Douehie 5/8, Inglis and Gagai centres sounds good to me. But I can tell you that Reyno is on thin ice with a lot of the fans. He has become a target and a liability. If he gets injured again, see ya later. Douehie needs to perform and anything can happen.

Full Disclosure: I’ve got Douhie but I won’t be playing him in my 17. I’m happy to go with Papalli Jnr this game and see how the kid plays under Siebold. Sutton worries me. He could dominate things around the halves. I won’t be surprised if he scores big though.

Which one misses out this week & is 18th man in my emergencies:
Lodge, Arrow, JFH, Kikau

I suppose since the Panthers play after Brisbane & Titans it's a choice between Kikau & JFH. If the Panthers do the switch like last week & JFH starts then he'll get near on 60 minutes whereas Kikau on the bench will get 40-45 minutes. Cheers.

No that just gets you VC score instead. Katoa isnt a good loophole, plays the first game and isn't a dual. I have traded him out for Greg L at Parramatta, to use as my loophole each week!

Dual player with late games each of the first 9 weeks, that should play round 13, and score well when he does play. Going to have some fun with it!

Yeah I think you are likely right, but what happens when 2 players are AEs in the same game?

It wouldn't surprise me if they did something like alphabetical order. Seriously. If the same position needs an AE in the same game then you're already so unlucky it won't matter too much

How is he not a good loophole when I get to choose 2 from Kennar Hiku Isaako for the short term?

Finally got a draft trade through. Considering I had a red dot in the halves....
IN Tuimoala Lolohea
OUT Isaiah Papalii

I would be doing it intentionally, why it is really important to me to understand how it will work.

I thinking of placing Katoa in my 13, then replace him with Thompson with Isaako in EMG. Since Isaako plays first, if he gets a good score I may roll back my Thompson trade which would bring Katoa back into my 13 forcing Isaako's score as a EMG. (only winger in 14-21). Does roll the dice a little but if Isaako get a meat pie or 2 it gives me option ( I think it will work )
