They introduced ranked subs in the event of a starting player not suiting up, moving around the reserves after lockout was not what they intended

What we think should be the case, and what fanhub planned aren't necessarily the same.

They would have been aware of how the new loophole worked and implemented it anyway, so you have to say the current system is working as intended

well that's the fucking point isn't it? They are a bunch of spastics, They haven't done their jobs properly and everyone knows it but they still try to pass it off as part of the game to justify doing it, that's what winds me up

The gloating about it does my fucking tits in

If I can easily maximize my score, Im going to do it. There is still every chance the player I sub for Holland will score more than him, thats the risk. Another part of the game IMO.

Im ranked outside top 500 and the guy leading admits to not doing it, so I don't think its making much of a difference at all.

You know what they say Welshy, if you can't beat 'em..........

How it is structured is there for all to use mate. I don't think any die hard Fantasy player isn't aware of how the system is. Just like last year, and the year before that.

FWIW I haven't used the poolhop this year at all; I get it, but it scares me

Updates applied to main site already about 10 minutes after the app which has to be a record?

Wow that is indeed a shock.

Sorry mate can't agree it isn't supposed to lock out subs after the ranking subs have been chosen by the player to avoid having another bite at the cherry when a benchie goes large

I've been fucked over by this game plenty the Macca debacle for instance but I won't use it still, personal choice I know but I don't think its right

1 person not doing it doesn't mean all the places below them haven't and benefitted, it's far more than likely Zora is in the minority in terms of not getting a better score from it.

I don't get the whole complaining about poolhopping. Don't hate the player hate the game.

Agree, it's a computer program with a flaw, just because some choose not to use that doesn't mean it is cheating. Don't think you sit on a moral high chair or anything.. (not directed to anyone specifically BTW)

I traded Dugan to Tedesco this week, and have Holland @ 21. I can reverse that trade and bank Hollands 54, but would leave me in a risky spot if Teddy increases in value next week, only have $9k to spare.. BE of about 50, so tough call!

I would still do the Tedesco trade. Loopholing is not cheating it's a legitimate tactic.

Ofcourse they knew about it she even brags about doing in afl fantasy

Feisty fuckers at the pointy end of the season ey !

I think we all need to 'eat a fantasy dick' and accept that this is our lot.

I agree that the set up is shit, BUT, I think its very telling that the guy in first hasn't looped!

Brett Morris signs with the Roosters for next year

It may be there for everyone to use SI, BUT, its an unnecessary, and to be honest ridiculous additional dimension to the game which doesn't rely on traditional fantasy knowledge at all. Its just a bi-product of the shitty set up they have chosen to use.

And for what its worth I would be incredibly surprised if fansub had any idea of the extent of the issue they created when deciding on this set up. These guys have proven to be incompetent on uncountable occasions and yet some people are giving them credit for knowing that they were enabling this shit. Yeah right....

My opinion aside, it has undoubtedly created is a situation which polarises the fantasy community which surely can't be defended. And fan hub would have got that message loud and clear when they surveyed us all. The question will be, will they actually listen to us? I doubt it!

Roosters are the new Broncos. Is Tupou leaving them too? Or ultra luxury depth. If Taupau goes there too, would be a bit silly.

Zora would be further ahead if he had looped I have no doubts about that! Just hasn’t used the opportunity because he hasn’t felt it to be correct or because he hasn’t had red dots to move around
