THE LOOP-HOLE
Firstly I want to mention and clarify the Captaincy Loophole now with the rolling lockout; this basically gives you two cracks at picking your captain with a slight element of risk. You can implore it anytime now given the rolling lockout. In past years this was only relevant with a Thursday match with a partial lockout etc. In order to reap the rewards you can have two players from your side, let’s say Pendlebury and Cotchin, that you think will explode on the weekend, the one who is playing first (e.g. Pendles), put him as your vice captain. Here’s the slight risk, you bring onto the ground someone who you know will score zero (ideally R4) and put him as your captain for now.
