It's a Paix Party

I have
4) LOLO
5) Hopa
6) Paix

and have Cleary in the halves position. Do I get both 5 and 6 scores for lolo and cleary?

If there's no halves in your first 3 interchange then it will get Paix score

so thinking I get both hopa and paix?

If

4) LOLO
5) Hopa
6) Paix

is actually

17) LOLO
18) Hopa
19) Paix

and Cleary is in your starting 13, then yes you will get both Hopa and Paix's scores

Looping in Pasix for Rudolf cost me 5 points. Cheaters never proseper.

With my current trade plan of JHop -> Fui and BBrailey -> Cleary, I've devised the following loop strategy

Basically, I plan to look at Drinkwater and Katoa's scores during their game, and see if Luai is playing. There are 8 possible scenarios listed here, though actually 16 (since we don't know if Mann will play or not)

Not sure why people are playing loops this early??

That's a pretty strange question CD.

I figured you for being mid 20's Beth! But that's some old school skeelz on show right there

I wrote it by hand because trying to make a spreadsheet flowchart seemed like a huge chore.

Assuming that Mann actually tales the field this week, your scenarios 2 through to 8 look OK. In the first scenario however, how do you plan to get Katoa's score into your team as the only red dot you appear to have is Williame, and Drinkwater will come in for him. I suppose you could put Crichton into the starting 13 and Williame into position 15 to get Katoa's score but then you would have to forego Drinkwater's score.

In short, pray for Luai to be a red dot if both Katoa and Drinkwater end up getting a tonne

Yeah, just noticed my error there. If that happens, then I would have to guess which combo scores more out of Katoa + Crichton or Drinky + Rudolf and move Wiliame accordingly.

Stop biting your nails Bethany

How is everyone looping Williame this week?

Depends on what trades I settle on, but at the moment just between Luai and Fogarty for me

Might not even have Wiliame to loop with, he may be gone for cashie.

I wish Mann played earlier in the week though, as my trades hinge a bit on whether he stays or goes. And playing after both Luai and Fogarty he may not be relied on for looping

Luai & Rudolph are my two

Drinkwater and Tonumaipea for me. Not a whole lot I can do with 18th man because if Taumalolo is a late out I only have Carrigan as cover so he needs to be on the bench. Would prefer to loop Fogarty/Rudolf

As a rookie looper can someone please review this set up for me?

I would see HTF's score and if I like it then would do nothing, and if I don't like it then would switch Crichton and Williame before the Panthers game? Is that right? Is there a better way?

Cheers

Correct but be mindful that Cowboys & Penrith are both Friday night games so you wont have much time and will need to be online live.
