Thank you Horse!
Newman back in the team is a great start to the weekend. Even 2 more games from him will see his price shoot up significantly as his break even is still -64. Thank Christ for our defensive rookies this year. They've been massive!

Although it's frustrating that he's not playing, holding Mitch Hibberd on the midfield bench is working out nicely for those of us with Adams down back. Nice loophole opportunity again this weekend with Marchbank and Newman both playing early on Saturday. Question is, which one do you put on field and which one do you put the "E" on? Marchbank has been super-consistent but Newman has the potential to score bigger based on his previous efforts. Thoughts?

Anyone else have loophole emergency opportunities in each line but consistently getting rolled by the order of the games.
Non playing players always playing first......
SO FRUSTRATING :mad::mad::mad:

I would pick Newman, but I would also consider fielding both over Otten since Jenkins has probably come back in.
Also if Talia doesn't come up, Otten will play as a key defender rather than ruck forward... Points killer. Being the last game of the round means you can't loophole him either.

Had the VC on Bont for 141. I feel bad for even thinking twice about taking it. Don't go too big on Sunday, Paddy:p
I didn't think twice. At least Pickett will be useful for something!!

Only 86 in the end for TT. Was hoping for a ton. I was determined not to trade him knowing he's capable of good scores. Also hoped the week off would refresh him. A couple more of those would be nice.

High. Reckless. Medium impact. Poor record. 2 weeks minimum. 3 wouldn't surprise me.
Could get away with low impact. I'm thinking high contact, low (or medium) impact, intentional. With the poor record that's either 2 or 3.

The Mummy tackle will be interesting. He might get a week seeing as Libba was concussed. A dangerous tackle doesn't need to be a spear:

» The Player being tackled is in a vulnerable position (ie arms pinned) with little opportunity to protect himself;
» An opponent is slung, driven or rotated into the ground with excessive force.

After having Bont as the VC for the previous 3 weeks, I took it off him as I thought he might roll out a 95-105. Small consolation is that I can loophole Taranto's score.
