The Loophole thread is more for asking HOW to do it to keep it in one place as a point of reference. Mentioning it in general play isn't an issue.

Totally figures there would be a loophole on the loophole thread...

It seems to be a kind of a form of veganism, without the environmental benefits. I mean, I can tolerate people doing it, but it is the incessant need to tell everyone about it.

I remember at the time of creating the thread, it was suggested it was a way of making the main thread less boring.

Fuck Vegans!

Bender's scores this year:

My halves situation is. Doueihi, JMK, Cartwright, and Croker.

I have decided I want to rectify that with 2 Keeper HLF's essentially.

So I can purchase any two halves in the competition.

I am leaning towards D. Cherry-Evans and S. Johnson. Johnson's injury is a concern and DCE jumping into Origin a worry, but they are perhaps the biggest stand outs in the position. I have been weighing up Koroisau as well but I just can't pick him up yet with uncertainty.

Koroisau breakdown:

Round 1 - Massive tackle count of 66, but he played 90 minutes due to Golden Point.
Round 2 - Manly destroyed the Eels, and picked up 4 more TB's, compared to his other games average. He also scored a try. His minutes dropped down to 63 minutes.
Round 3 - This is the biggest concern. A decent score of 41 points. He had a strong game, with less missed tackles than the previous two. Also picked up an Offload and a strong tackle count of 37. He only got 49 minutes.
Round 4 - Score of 49 is good, and he had 78 minutes, but the Manly side ended up with two guys down. With Tanginoa going down incredibly early.

It is just hard seeing him getting enough minutes to put him at anything more than a mid-tier guy with a few great scores here and there.

So.. talk me out of DCE or Johnson.

Everytime you touch your loophole a child in Africa dies!!! Furthermore it will make your hair fall out and give you erectile disfunction

WTH! Did you C Isaako last week?

Captain options this week are minimal.

Cook, Arrow, DCE, Kikau???

Haha. Aside from my own dealings with Vegans, I have a friend who runs a property in Queensland and she had Vegans follow her home and take photos of her children and posted them on FB to get her to stop doing what she was doing to earn a living.

Big thumbs up slip SI some Xanax the blokes gone rogue, love the Ricky Stuart line too made my morning.

I was just thinking about that. I've noticed a few nasty, sarcastic remarks which I don't like because I get enough of those from my wife
But seriously it's getting a bit bit of hand so can we please cut it out.

Yes, yes he did. Isaako certainly not the usual Captain suspect.

You seem to be the only one talking about it at present. Just saying.

Half way there... might as well commit to it.

With no Papali next to croker this week, im worried about running Croker in the Ctr.

759
835
786
809

Logic would say i'm due a sub 800 this week.

You don't have Ponga??

Lone Scout says Thurston is a definite sell. Is he though? Probably loses money this week but he is priced at about 41, I see him bottoming out very soon. Cowboys have been terrible. Opening draw was somewhat difficult but on paper gets a bit easier. Assuming they start to click he should start to put a few decent scores and maybe limp in to round 13. Or am I way too optimistic?

Oh yea, I have Ponga. Not a huge fan of captaining WFB types

@mulvy too optimistic imo. Looks like he will pull out occasional big games but overall looks injured, slow and tired.

Loomer wrote:Any chance Havili scores decent this week?

Yeah I quite like him to score well this week. If he can add his solo try to his now 50-60mins (instead of 30 max) returns should be solid.

Unlike that force-fitting sezer shamozzle the first 3 rounds, I don’t see hingano ever getting any more than 25-30mins which is a nice boost for Havili
