Loopholers Anonymous - a wretched hive of scum and villainy

I've bought Scott into the centers this week. If he doesn't play Isaako as NPR subs in to my team.
It's not a loophole really but shows how forgiving this new format is.

I'm looking at keeping Gosiewski in my team for loophole purposes.
Manly plays late in the round for the next few weeks, perfect for looping

Round 9: Sunday 4pm
Round 10: Saturday 7:30pm
round 11: Saturday 7:30pm

First go at Looping, very simple low risk one though;

17th man - Surgess (plays tomorrow, well, he doesn't play)
18th man - TPJ (plays tonight)
19th man - Lane

If TPJ fudges it, sub Lane in for Surgess tomorrow, correct? Might as well do it while I can.

Cheeeeers

Yep that is the correct way of doing it

Is this my best option for double loop.

16. Katoa
17. Dugan
18. Martin
19. Rein
20. Havili

If Martin sucks, then Havili and Rein both go to starting team.

If Martin goes well, leave until Titans play. If Rein goes well leave as is. If Rein sucks then play Havili.

Also have Murray in my 17.

Any better ways I can set up?

I don't think in your case there are any clever shenanigans.

It's essentially as they play in order you can lock or continue to play exactly as you outlined. Martin, Murray, Rein and Havili (pick 3 with as much knowledge as you can)

Assume you have to play Murray or Martin in your starters by the sound of your question? Answer changes if he's on the bench but I'd play Murray over Martin.

Yes, Murray currently in 14.

I think that assuming Peats doesn't make the squad, I'd play Murray, Rein, Havili, and not Martin.

But may as well have a free look at Martin (and if he does well, I can then get a free look at Rein)

Murray I will have to cop his score regardless.

I have to agree with your setup here and what Cap said as well. This does look like the best you can do with the bench you have.

Just out if interest, who is your player 21?  If they are a red dot with a 2rf position you may have some wriggle room with the loop.

Player 21 is Jai Arrow.

Depending on your overall team you may be able to have a look at Martin's score, and if it is good you could potentially cherry pick the best score of the other two in your loop.

If you are not planning on captaining (or VC'ing) Fifita then post your full team and I'll have a look

Havili plays in the last game, So there is no chance of looking at his score before deciding whether to play him or not.

Also, will be out for Mothers day on Sunday, so not going to risk any loop decision that involves watching Souths v Dragons and deciding on loop before the Raiders v Sharks kick off.

Yeah, the team make-up is not conducive to pulling any funny looping tricks. Sorry for wasting your time mate.

For your sake (and mine too), hopefully Peats stays away for another week and Rein pumps out another 70 odd.

Good luck with your loop

Can anyone help please kind fellos. Was looping Thompson with Arrow but if I trade in Martin for Soro can I loop twice with Murray and Martin?

Cook
JFH Kikau
Murray RFM Tolo
MBye Maloney

Ponga Teddy Isaako

Smith
Griffin
Havilli
Rein

Thompson
Arrow
Soro (to Martin)
Coggar

Will just swap Rein for Arrow but is there a way to loop Martin and Murray.

Cheers lads.

Swap Griffin and Murray

then setup your bench

Smith
Havili
Arrow
Cogger
Thompson
Martin
Murray
Rein

If Martin goes well leave as is - you'll get Thompson and Martin's scores (no Murray/Rein)
If Martin sucks swap Murray in for Arrow and get Murray + Thompson (no Martin/Rein)

You could also keep Murray in your team and loop Havili/Martin if you want.

Can you imagine if they'd kept a 25 man squad?

People would be poopholing out their poophole with triple and quadruple loops all over the place.

You are a legend Milch. Will leave Havilli as he is most likely going to become Fifi or Surgess. Thanks mate.

Yep - this looks good and was why I was on here - with the Peats news, I'm looking at using Cogger for a Double Poophole (sounds weird)

16. Cogger
17. Gossie

18. Fonua
19. Martin
20. Isaako
21. Rein

Fonua scores for Cogger.
I get a look at Martin, and a look at the Peats/Rein situation. If martin scores 45+, I leave as is and Martin scores for Gossie. If Martin bombs and Peats is in, I bring in Isaako for Gossie. If Martin bombs and Peats is out/or Rein starts, I'll prolly bring in Rein for Gossie.

This sounds right, right?

arrow17

martin
sua

see if martin goes good, if not, swap arrow into sua.

what happens with the poophole if fifita doesn't play and you leave as is i.e. take martins score with arrow as a black dot? have tapau on the bench as FRF but hes in the 17

If Fifita doesn't play Taupau will take his spot in your 13

Then Martin and S'ua will come in for Taupau and Arrow
