Loopholers Anonymous - a wretched hive of scum and villainy

Just want to confirm method if Niu locks out before Talau & Averillo on a given week (not this week as is fine)

Grant
Haas JFH
Taumalolo Yeo Tevaga
Cleary Flanagan
Crichton Niu*
Teddy Ponga Papenhuyzen

Hunt Carrigan Robson Fogarty
Talau Averillo Starling McIntyre

E.g. R13, Niu locks out Fri 7:55pm, Averillo locks out Sat 3pm, Talau Sat 5:30pm, Starling Sat 7:35pm

So I could see Averillo score and if happy, swap Talau & Starling and if not keep Talau where he is??

Yes that works.

Can I do anything funky with this setup/what would you do?

Grant
Haas, Taupau
Jurbo, Lucy, Young
Cleary, Pearce
Ramien, Crichton
Teddy, Ponga, Pappy

JFH, Robson, Starling, Niu
Sironen, Randall, HTF, Paix

Anything extra that can be done if Paix is a red dot as well?

Currently taking Sironens score if its 40+, otherwise swapping Niu and Randall/HTF (probably Randall)

He's not that useful because locks at same time as Niu. So nothing obvious for loop options, but there are others much better at looping that I am who ay have better ideas.

Not strictly looping - but because the Sharks play the Broncos, if Ramien is a late withdrawal with his minor injury you could trade the red dot you're not looping with to a CTR, both to score this week and for season cover.

Yeah was planning on bringing in Pompey if Ramien is a late out. Eyeing up Aubo but I know I shouldn’t be..

Pompey does lockout before Ramien this week, so if it’s a really late out would need a plan B.

Didn't think that one through did I... thanks for pointing that out, will find a backup

With the following team

Grant
Haas Kapow
Lolo Jurbo Young
DCE Moses
Lomax Mitchell
Teddy Ponga Pap

Carrigan Randall Fog Sironen

Niu Luai Talau HTF

Would you rather use Niu to loop Mitchell/Talau or Siro/Luai?

First year of playing Fantasy having been a Supercoach player.

I've never intentionally looped before but this week I'm trying two loops with Niu (with Latrell playing tonight) and Musgrove (with Sironen playing tonight).



Am I doing anything especially wrong?

The way you have it set now will work fine.

Assuming Niu is starting CTR, currently his spot will be taken by Aubusson.

Then Sironen And Latrell will slide up for Aubusson and Musgrove

After tonight, look at Sironen and Latrell's scores.

If you want to keep both Sironen and Latrell's score - do nothing.

If you want Sironen but not Latrell, swap Randall with Musgrove

If you want Latrell but not Sironen swap Randall with Musgrove, and swap Aubusson into starting 2nd row, with one of your 2nd rowers (with no CTR DPP) on the interchange bench

I’m looping talau and averillo, considering over the next few weeks I won’t be able to loop them With niu does everyone think it would be a safe bet to trade niu out now and get rid of my only red dot?

If I start with my team

Grant
Haas Carrigan
Lolo Tevaga KOD (red dot)

Bench
Flanno
Friend
Hunt
Mofo

Randall
Siro
Young
Hetherington

Does this give me a look at Siro first, and if happy I'll get his score
And if not happy swap Mofo and Carrigan back and I'll get Randall's score?

You can easily loop Talau and Averillo using Niu

Just start Niu at CTR, then order Talau above/below Averillo in your NPRs based on who plays first and whose score you want to take.

yes.

Just be aware KOD is still in the 21 man squad. Keep an eye out just in case he makes the final 17.

Ah yes, good call. Thanks!

From my understanding if niu plays first or talau plays averillo you can’t loop them?

See the post I made at the top of the page

If you have a non-CTR that locks out afterwards you can still loop pretty effectively

You are all genius’ and I don’t deserve to be in your presence

I had no idea about this method either before this week, before others pointed it out

Hey boys, just wanted to know if my loop strategy will work if I decide to do it?

So I have a bench of Grant hunt Robson and Siro. But since Hethro is scoring so well (who is my 1st emegency) I may want to get his score over Robsons. I also have Niu in my emergencies so if I was to swtich Robson and Niu I'd get Hethros score right?
