Won't be loopholing this week as my loophole guy is on Port's list and we play 2nd this week. So it's either Simpson or nothing so I'll just VC Titch and C Dangerfield straight out.

You can always do what I do PB is put the loophole on the field and then the C on him when required.

eg I have Olongo permanently on field with e on Gawn. So if Gawn and Stef play before loophole still have the option of putting c on Olongo. Reason I picked Olongo is due to the number of late games Eagles have.

Agreed, that's the easiest way to do it. Olango perma R2.

Though if I understand correctly, if PB has a Port player as their donut, they can't give the C to them to loop anyone other than Col/Carl players, even if they're on the ground.

Sam Hayes (Port) is my R3, so I'm either VC'ing Simpson or not bothering about it this week. But yes, he does stay on my field otherwise.

And I went Sam Hayes because he's a R/F and I want the option of trading in a R/F to cover for one week if needed. Already there's been people that have traded Olango to English solely to cover in the rucks. Will I go down the path of trading in a Cox/Stanley/English etc if I need cover? Unlikely, really depends on what stage of the season it is, but I'd like to have that option available which is why I went Hayes.

My predicament is that I kinda wanna just straight up C either Dusty or Titch this week but they play each other on Sunday, so I reckon I just have to go with the boy from my own team.  :P

Cripps (vs Coll), Fyfe (vs GC) and then there is Dusty/Titch who all demand a (VC).

Danger (vs WCE) looks a solid captain option.

This all relies on English not getting a game of course to loophole.

Methinks English is more likely than not to survive this week.  Not great for my captain's loophole.... but at least he'll make some cash.

Laird will go 146 vs Saints saturday night (VC)
Into Dusty (C)

I dont really have a viable vice captain option before my loophole candidate (d.cameron) plays, the only real option would be Gawn or Goldstein, but they are playing each other so thst can't work lol.

It'll be either Martin or Titch, not sure yet. Probably Martin at this stage.

Maybe i could throw the VC on cripps...?

Dusty/Titch playing each other makes life interesting

I think I'll take a punt for VC on Buddy. I'll be busy Sunday so need to make the loophole call saturday night. I do have safer options like Cripps/Fyfe/Kelly, but I think a risk/reward option could be good. He doesn't usually go massive against GWS, but I'm tempted to give him a chance.

Excellent chance I'll chicken out and go Fyfe against GC though :P

Cast your minds back to round 3, 2016.

Gawn 172
Goldy 172

Is that considered ancient history or...?

So much Jelly hate in here.

Jelly is annoying, plenty of people are annoying if you drop your knee on to somebody's face you should be reasonably lucky you only got the 1 week.

Sicily looks like a roller coaster both in suspensions and scoring. He smashed it in round 1 then didnt even get half that score in round 2.

I wouldnt trade him out as at 400k he is a decent price and the DPP is handy. The good news is he has a latish match so you can probably loophole a bench player which is really helpfull up front with Garlett Ryan great loophole options as they are very volatile.

So far we have seen 1 great score, 1 poor score and 1 stupid move by him.

isnt this what you expected?

at the end of the day he is averaging 93 and missed a game through stupidity. I would think when you picked him you where expecting 85-95 and missing a few games. He is spot on that.
