So what are the best ways to use Haas as a loop considering he plays first game?

Basically have to start MID and if you have 1 MID on bench you can loop, I believe this works unless someone corrects mefilthridden wrote:So what are the best ways to use Haas as a loop considering he plays first game?
Grant
Haas MKing Thompson
IPap Nanai
Cleary DCE
Burton Tago
Pap Hynes Taaffe
Hastings MID (trade in Cotter/Angus/Jackson) Starling Schneider
Tass Lee Koula Smith
Basically still looping Tass and Lee/Koula and then just swap Cotter with Lee/Koula if Tass isn’t great

Advanced looping required with Haas out this week. Can someone please run their eyes over it and make sure it's set up correctly? I've put BSmith at HOK so the only bench MID is Elliott.
Also anyone's 2c on who to actually loop would be appreciated, I think Taaffe but that means I can't loop Walters too so must be Koula yeah?
BSmith
Lolo Ming (Haas)
Fermor Ipap
Cleary (c) Hastings
Burton Aitken
Pap Hynes WSmith
Randall Tuilagi Schneider Elliot
Taaffe Koula Lee Walters

Last game.
but if you are asking this because you have more than 17 players and want to set a loop up - then you are dead to me.

Also important to note Origin players still lock out when their club teams play

Wanting to double loop this week but struggling to suss it out. Need someone with much more fantasy pedigree to assist haha
Current lineup:
Reed
Ipap, Barnett, lolo
Angus, tohu
Dce, chin,
Burron, aitken
Trell, hynes, teddy
Elliot, Moses, douhei- matamua
Koula, Kennedy, cotter, wishart
Would love to be able to pick the best out of Koula, Kennedy and wishart as they l have potential to bang or bust but can’t work it
Tigers play last so matamua is great, but I may need cotter to help with a double loop utilising reed as he’s my only hooker cover.
Thanks lads

Not really a lot you can do this week
It's no good having Cotter in at Hooker as a red dot as Mahoney is playing in the first match and therefore can't be moved after that. It's also pointless having Cotter in at MID and Matamua in at EDG as you have too many DPP MID/EDG's to use Taumalolo as a floating AE
About the best you can do is set your team up as follows
Reed
Ipap, Barnett, lolo
Angus, tohu
Dce, chin,
Burron, aitken
Trell, hynes, teddy
Elliot, Moses, douhei, cotter
matamua, Koula, Kennedy, wishart
If Koula scores well, don't do anything and you'll get his points at the end of the round. If Koula scores like shit, then you should swap Kennedy with Matamua
If Kennedy then scores well you don't have to do anything further. You'll get his score at the end of the round. If he puts up a crappy score as well, you could swap Wishart with Cotter and then pray

Greetings fellow loopers! Chasing some guidance on how to best utilise my red dots this week with Kennedy and Hosking.
Here's my lineup so far after my planned trades;
Robson
Murray Haas Yeo
Angus IPap
Hynes DCE
Manu Burton
Teddy Latrell Doueihi
Fifita Elliott Mcinnis Harris
Koula Booth Hosking Kennedy
If someone could help me out that would be awesome

Hosking locks out first and isn't very useful.
Booth and Koula also lock out early. Put whichever of them you think will score best into 18. Kennedy in 19
If Booth/Koula score well on Friday night, put Kennedy into 14-17 in place of whoever you think will score the lowest.
Probably Koula in 18 and swap Kennedy for Doueihi if Koula scores well is the most likely to be useful
Other option is Angus Crichton in 18, Kennedy in 17
If Angus doesn't score well on Thursday night, put Booth/Koula into 17 instead of Kennedy.

Starting writing this ages ago, then went to a meeting, and hit reply before I saw Milch's reply
So TL;DR version is what he said above.
Long version - You've got a pretty clear cut 17 by the looks, then Koula/Booth, then the 2 red dots. So first glance it's not hugely beneficial.
Kennedy you could use two ways
- as starting WFB with say 20. Koula, 21. Mitchell. If Koula goes off, leave, If not, swap Mitchell to start
- at 17 to loop last bench spot. Could be Fifita and Koula, but very quick turnaround there. Maybe Koula and one of Elliot/McInnes/Harris?
Broncos play 1st, so I think you can only use Hosking in a loop as a starting EDG and if you didn't have any EDG players at 14-17. So I think that's out.

Thanks heaps lads for the replies! Didn't think I could use Hosking but sometimes there is some black magic fuckery that can be done haha.
Hard to decide how to use Kennedy. Thinking I'll just use him for Fifita vs the Storm. If he goes 35 or less I'll sub Koula in before the game starts

I also need some guidance this round, if I play this :-
17. Kennedy
18. Angus
19. Hughes
If Angus stinks tonight I swap in Hughes for Kennedy or Angus gets a decent score I do nothing and get his score correct ????
