2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 44

That's pretty much my chance at the big bickies gone. Fuck it. Unless Gallen scores 111, I'm fucked.

I might have picked up Gurgess for the bye rounds...

I'll take that 40

Need a big few minutes from Crichton in order to get the loop happening

For some reason I feel like 57 is the most annoying score he could have ended up on! I've loopholed a 58 before I'm pretty sure (I think it was Manners a few years ago from memory). Hopefully he updates to 60 cos I have the C on Tolman.

Also refs wearing their bunnies jumpers tonight blatantly too

I didnt think they went at Moses enough (until the lasy 3min). They actually moved Surgess out left early in the game to run at him and then all they did was turn him under back into the big guys

I support the Warriors.

I'm just not a fan of what the bunnies are doing this year.

me too

And I have no sypanthy for Cook owners. I told you so. Farah isn't there for a haircut. Sell up

Sam Burgess and ARey each got more negatives than Mitchell Moses.

Hang your heads in shame

Of course CWalker stinks it up once I bring him in. What a fucken disgrace the refs were tonight,trying their best to rob us

He'll become Smith for me either next round or the round after fuck the byes just going for my final team now

Indeed. If he doesn't update it will be a tough call about looping.

I've looped mid 50s before too, but 60+ makes the call easier

The way he's going, he will be a straight swap for Brandon Smith.

Thank you kind Sir. Appreciate your advice Rabbit. Paid attention to your earlier comments and made several changes to my trades including bringing in Fuimaono and trading out Cook.

I don't use the loophole, feels against the spirit of the game, and i don't begrudge people that do, because it's so widely advertised by those who are employed to talk about fantasy, but fuck i wish they'd close it, people cheering on a vice captain they'd never have had the balls to pull the captain trigger on if they had to pick and stick is just wrong to me, especially when i did.

just on the loophole, im trying to move gallen to my reserves (even though im keeping the C on him) and cant do it. is there something im missing? cheers.

nvm moved jdb and replaced gallen easily. as you were...

I agree. Personally I don't do it, I think its against the spirit of the game, but its not illegal and people can do it so fair play.


Didn't someone last year quit the forums because they said they were against it and he/she got really fired up?

I actually think its been a quirk long enough that its a part of the game. I actually look forward to having two chances at captain each year.

Mind you if someone loopholed their way to win fantasy from round 20 through to the end - by intentionally having 16 players and avoiding injuries.

Im not sure how I would feel about that...

Shocking performance from the bunnies tonight. It's apparent Walker has had no luck from his ultimatum because that was one of the most pathetic, spiritless, terrible performances and it was obvious he just doesn't give a fuck. Fuck him back to reserve grade if he's gonna carry on like that.

VC on Surgess flopped so my new recruit SJ better have a big game as my captain!!

Really happy with my Semi trade. Will happily take a 40 and he looks like a lot of monkeys are off his back and really getting back into it. Didn't have hardly any opportunities in the first half until the try but got himself involved just enough for me. Love it.

Its not against the spirit of the game, It's just another aspect of the game.

Just because you loophole doesnt mean you will end up with a bigger score. Its a risk and all part of the game.

I was against loop-holing when it first came about but its pretty clear that the people who run the game have left it in there and make it publicly known, so its fair game imo
