Savage and Chambers my only red dots (and Lolo a maybe). Was thinking I could use Chambers to look at Peachey vs Bird in CTRs, but not sure how to use Savage (if at all given Raiders play at 6pm Friday). Any way of having a look at Croker/Verrills/Lolo?

Hi Jele


If you go ahead with the Curran trade you could set your team as follows:


Cook
Haas Papali'i AFB
Fifita Curran
Cleary DCE
Aitken Chambers
Teddy Turbo Savage

Moses
Watson
Walsh
Bird
Croker
Peachey
Lolo
Verrills


After the Manly vs Canberra game you will have four options:

1) Croker and Peachey score well. You don't have to do anything - at the end of the round Walsh and Bird will sub into the starting team and Croker and Peachey will move up to positions 16 and 17


2) Croker and Peachey both have crap scores. You will have to swap Walsh with Lolo, Bird with Chambers and then Chambers with Verrills
Your team would then look like this:


Cook
Haas Papali'i AFB
Fifita Curran
Cleary DCE
Aitken Bird
Teddy Turbo Savage

Moses
Watson
Lolo
Verrills
Croker
Peachey
Walsh
Chambers

At the end of the round Walsh will sub in for Savage and you will avoid Croker and Peachey's scores


3) Croker scores well and Peachey is crap. You will have to swap Bird with Chambers and then Chambers with Lolo
Team would then be:


Cook
Haas Papali'i AFB
Fifita Curran
Cleary DCE
Aitken Bird
Teddy Turbo Savage

Moses
Watson
Walsh
Lolo
Croker
Peachey
Chambers
Verrills

At the end of the round Walsh will sub in for Savage, Lolo will move up to position 16 and Croker will come into position 17


4) Peachey scores well and Croker is garbage. You will have to swap Bird with Curran and Walsh with Lolo
Your team would then look like this:


Cook
Haas Papali'i AFB
Fifita Bird
Cleary DCE
Aitken Chambers
Teddy Turbo Savage

Moses
Watson
Lolo
Curran
Croker
Peachey
Walsh
Verrills

At the end of the round Peachey will sub in for Chambers, Walsh will sub in for Savage and you will avoid Croker's score



If Taumalolo is a late scratching you can put Verrills in his place in options 3 and 4 but you will be stuck with Croker's score in option 2


Good luck with your loop

Thanks Cookie, that is genius.  apologies in advance if Turbo is out and I end up doing Matterson to Doueihi instead.

At @wolfking

Set your team as follows:

Brailey
AFB Haas Watson
Crichton Fifita
Cleary DCE
Burton Bird
Hynes Ted Walsh

I'Pap
Manu
Verrills
Laurie
Lolo
Peachey
Trindall
Blore


You're getting Peachey's score regardless. If Trindall is the higher scorer don't do anything. I'Pap will sub in for Crichton and Peachey and Trindall will come into positions 16 and !7
If Blore is the higher scorer, swap I'pap with AFB and at the end of the round Blore will sub in for Crichton and Peachey will still move into position 17

Good luck

Thanks mate, thats genius. I'm a bit worried though if they both score well and I can only get 1.

Hi guys, would love some help here.

My plan at the mo would be presuming Avo's out - wait and see how Bird scores, if he scores well I leave him there he jumps in for Avo, otherwise Mbye can swap in.

Then same for Verrills, if he scores well I leave him there and he comes in as final sub. Risk is Avo plays and I end up ruining my 18th man between Bird and Verrills

Sorry if this is a mesy post... i'm hopeless at Looping.

Cook
AFB - Haas - iPap
Fifita - Murray
(c)leary - Moses
Ramien - Averillo
Teddy - Ponga - Walsh

Curran - KElly - Brailey - Douehih
Bird - Verrils - Mbye - Crichton

Bird - Verrils - Mbye - Crichton

Assuming that Averillo is indeed out and that you have not selected Ted as your vice captain, you may want to set your team as follows:


Cook
AFB - Haas - iPap
Fifita - Murray
(c)leary - Moses
Ramien - Averillo
Doueihi - Ponga - Walsh


Curran
Kelly (I assume this is Albert Kelly)
Brailey
Teddy
Verrills
Bird
Mbye
Crichton


After the Dragons vs Cowboys match you will know the scores of Bird and Verrills and you will know which one you want to be included in your weekly score (let's face it - you will want both of their scores because Mbye is crap and will get a single digit score against the Panthers)

Anyway, if they both score well you don't have to do anything. At the end of the round Ted will sub in for Doueihi, Verrills will move into position 17 and Bird will sub in for Averillo

If Verrills and Bird are a bit disappointing and you want to take a chance on Mbye, you will have two options:

1) If Verrills scores less than Bird you will have to swap Mbye with Doueihi. At the end of the round Bird will sub in for Averillo and you will avoid Verrills score.

2) If Bird scores less than Verrills you will have to swap Mbye with Averillo. At the end of the round Ted will sub in for Doueihi, Verrills will move up into position 17 and you will avoid Bird's score



This will all fall apart if Averillo ends up playing
Good luck




EDIT. Walsh hasn't locked out yet so you could have him at position 17 instead of Teddy if you prefer

Thanks mate! Appreciated

Really dependant on Avo eh!

Well shit - I need Avo not to play now as I want verrills score!

As your red dots aren't DPP, that looks about the best you can do for looping this week.


I'm not sure I should wish you good luck with the players that you choose in the loop, as it's probably better to get rid of all your wretched luck this year so you can have nothing but good luck next year

Haha cheers mate. I’m not convinced I have the nous for this game but will come back next year for another crack

Cookie, anything fancy I can do with this? Probably not as I only have 18 players.

Verrills
Lolo AFB Haas
Fifita Crichton
Clearly DCE
Burton Bird
To'o Walsh Ted

Watson Blore Peach Trindall

Hynes Laurie IPap Brailey

Gotta be a simple 18th man thing hey?

Probably Peachey at 19th man with someone risky at 18 is the best bet.

Best loop options play on Sunday which reduces options.

Thanks Milch. Peach and Blore probably the best option. Probably not worth doing Hynes or Trindall with Peach there. Blore seems solid enough for 40 though so it's hard to sit him out.

Guess the option is either

a) look at Peach first and drop Blore if Peach scores well
b) Put anyone who plays earlier in the loop. Someone who may fail spectacularly, and sub Peach in if they fail. Sort of an insurance bet if you think someone might flop

Burton Bird
To'o Walsh Ted

Watson Blore Peach Trindall

Hynes Laurie IPap Brailey

This isn't really a great loop, but you could set it up as follows:


Brailey
Lolo Watson Haas
Fifita Crichton
Clearly DCE
Burton Bird
To'o Walsh Ted

AFB
Blore
Trindall
IPap
Hynes
Peach
Laurie
Verrills


1) If Verrills spuds it up for the week, swap Watson and AFB and then Watson back into the starting team for Brailey. Team should look like:


Watson
Lolo AFB Haas
Fifita Crichton
Clearly DCE
Burton Bird
To'o Walsh Ted

Brailey
Blore
Trindall
IPap
Hynes
Peach
Laurie
Verrills


You will get everyone's score apart from Verrills
(As part of this scenario you will get to see Hynes score in the following match. If he puts up an even worse score than Verrills you should reverse the above changes and also swap Peachey for IPap. Team would look like this:


Brailey
Lolo Watson Haas
Fifita Crichton
Clearly DCE
Burton Bird
To'o Walsh Ted

AFB
Blore
Trindall
Peach
Hynes
IPap
Laurie
Verrills


You will get everyone's score apart from Hynes)




2) If Verrills scores well don't do anything until you have seen Hynes play.


If Hynes scores well you don't have to do anything.
At the end of the round Hynes will sub in for IPap and Verrills will sub in for Brailey



If Hynes scores poorly, swap Peachey with IPap. Team would look like this:


Brailey
Lolo Watson Haas
Fifita Crichton
Clearly DCE
Burton Bird
To'o Walsh Ted

AFB
Blore
Trindall
Peach
Hynes
IPap
Laurie
Verrills


At the end of the round Verrills will sub in for Brailey





or you could just do what Milchy has suggested (usually a better idea  )

Good luck with your looping Wolfy

I should send you some cookies mate, you're a legend. Appreciate your time.

Make sure their (# - tag) cookies

What else!?

I'm going through with what you've suggested. The look at Verrills is a free no brainer regardless and Hynes didn't score too well last time playing 6, so gut feel was to always loop him. If IPap ends up playing and Hynes is shit, that's an easy decision, if not I guess Blore will sit out.

Stuffed the setup of my team this week but was there a way to set up my team to look at the scores of both Taukeiaho and Verrills? My red dots in McCullough, Cook (and presumably Murray) are all from same game but I also have two trades in hand which I was planning to hold until the Manly game.

Verrills
Haas AFB Watson
Fifita Crichton
Cleary Fogarty
Bird Aitken
Tedesco Ponga Drinkwater
