Don't know if I'm gonna do to well this round.
Was gonna vice captain Rapana and loophole with Gallen, does that sound ok? What do you guys reckon?

Depends what you think they're going to score for the rest of the year.
Cleary plays an extra game.
Have you got anywhere else you can make more of an upgrade?
Is it just to get numbers for this round?

If I owned Rapana I would definitely vc him & use the loophole.

cheers mate!
so if Rapana goes big, I just swap gallen out with Brown or Crichton? I don't think B. Smith or A. Fine will play. That will work won't it?

Yes. With JDB receiving a weeks suspension I am down to 16 players for this round including relying on Slater, Mcguire and Scott to play.

If JDB had of been named in the blues 17 does that mean he could of played for the Dragons this week as he would of served the suspension tonight?

Correct. Then make sure Gallen is in your npr's & that you have 4 reserves who could be anyone. Then Gallen will come in as your a.e. but you will get Rapana's double points.

WL is the real MVP in this thread.

thanks Filth.

Ready for another loophole because it felt so good last round!
VC: Taumalolo
C: Gallen

I was going to keep CWalker... but with JDB out, I'm forced to make a trade somewhere to add to the numbers...

these are my trade out options that can give me an extra player for the round:

Pritchard, Gurgess, Ipapalii, JDB, CWalker, Laybutt, Abbey, Phythian
115k in the bank

I don't want to trade out JDB...and with 9 trades left, I don't really want to waste a trade on getting rid of an NPR

obviously depends on your team
Gurgess to Jbrom
or
Gurgess to NPR to finance Pritchard to CamMcI

If he was in the blues 17, he wouldn't have played last weekend to get charged.

You can't spell loophole without lolo.

The scout wrap on nrl.com refers to R James getting his normal Game time and being quiet. Even though he played 57 mins, he was off for a spell with a possible injury. Maybe should be called 'fleeting scout' ?

Also you can't spell loophole without poo hole....








No real meaning to that, I'm just highly immature and thought it was funny.

I could go Lamb to Edwards with 1 trade but that would mean I couldn't go JDB to Tuapau which actually may be a blessing in disguise. I already have Taumalolo as a boom or bust type player so I was a bit uneasy getting in another boom/bust type player in Taupau.

go for it.
if one goes bust and the other goes boom, they balance each other out.
but, if both go boom you will be ahead of the pack !!

no guts, no glory

Do you honestly think you'll hold off on trading for three or four weeks without clicking one or two of them during a weak moment?

after round 21 I think I'll find it very easy to hold off on trades.

Probably won't make a single trade between the 1st of August and February next year

The McManus case against the Knights in the NSW Supreme Court will have huge ramifications
concerning players with concussion issues. They will all be wearing headgear shortly and by the
looks of S.Mat that will not be enough.
