    Save them so that if you end up on the same score as the others you can win on tie-break!

    My advice for Zoras

    a. Leader likely to captain Cook, so captain anyone else. Lolo is good choice as best POD you have on leader so best potential for big gains

    b. not sure looping Cook is worth it. Massive benefit if he somehow gets injured or scores single figures. but even on a poor day Cook is likely to go 40+ and you'll probably want his score. You aren't that far behind that I think its a risk worth taking


    These are the 2 loop setups I would consider.

    Cook
    Fifita Taupau
    James Lolo Trbo
    ARey SJ
    Marsters Holland
    Teddy RTS Mbye

    Arrow
    Smith
    Ponga
    Aitken
    Surgess
    Farah
    Martin
    Lewis

    Move in Martin and or Lewis depending on Farah/Surgess's scores


    or

    Cook
    Fifita Taupau
    James Lolo Trbo
    Lewis SJ
    Marsters Holland
    Teddy RTS Mbye

    Farah
    Smith
    Ponga
    Aitken
    Surgess
    ARey
    Martin
    Arrow

    Start Lewis, and sub in Martin/Arrow based on Arey/Surgess




    Good luck, hope Mbye gets a banner tonight

    If by ‘banner’ you mean ‘goes down missing three tackles and conceding a penalty, sent off, after 10mins’ then yeah, I’m backing that too

    Don't usually update each round. I put out a mid year and then final write up. But as that you asked and you are tied for first here it is.

    Fortitude & Welshy are leading the pack. Just kidding they will battle out for 2nd and it will all depend on the teams currently sitting 5-7. A panthers loss will help Fortitude, while a Dragons loss will help Welshy. But it all pales into insignificance because Pookus looks to have it wrapped up.

    I like option 2, my gut says Arey is going to have another avg score... I hope I'm wrong though

    Its hard to call.  The last couple of weeks how he has been, its hard to see how he was getting those 60 scores a couple of months ago.  Hope I'm wrong too.

    With that first loop. What if Farah gets 70 and Surgess gets 10?  You gotta take both or none, right?

    Same.

    Not sure I need to make any changes anyway. But would be nice to know.

    yeah, so obviously order Surgess/Farah so that the one you think most likely to go big is ranked first.

    Just log on using the web browser on your phone rather than the app. That worked for me anyway.

    Thought so.  Thought there might have been a secret trick to get 6's score over 5 haha.

    Thanks everyone for all your help. This place is the greatest Beating Heart I wish I could like all your posts 10 times.
    I had been considering the 2 of Farah, Arey and Surgess preview as per Milchcow's suggestion. It definitely gives the best chance of the best score, probability-wise. I'm sure doing that would mean position 6 would score double what 5 does (and the one in my 17 with the lowest score of all), but it would be no different to just playing them in my starting 17 anyway. Just have to pick the right 2 in the right order.
    Back to work now, I'll put some more thought into it all this evening.

    If they played in different games there is a bit more flexibility, but all the good loop candidates play in the same game tonight so lock out at the same time.

    Was looking at Farah to Holmes but not sure if I should be worried about the Sharks cap stuff and how it will affect them.

    Yeah, Farah and ARey playing in the same game really isn't ideal.
