He only averaged 43 minutes from the bench last year too. You'd hope he'd see a few more than that tonight.

Yep, can't trust those kind of averages considering the changes to the interchange.

Also, I wouldn't trust a word on the weapons or renegade facebook pges.

Option 2 for me.

Any major reason why that over the others

I get the feeling this won't be the only clusterfuck we have in the forward pack this week. Definitely seems as though a lot of coaches are still undecided on the best use of their pack with the new interchange and might shuffle a few things around for the first few weeks. Making me more confident to hang on to LAM and hesitant to trade any new forwards in.

Anyone?

I need the points after a poor round 1 score. My 2nd trade will be later on in the w/e but J. Trbo will come in for Aubusson. Fark Carty & Aubs.

Nek minnit - Carty and Aubbs score 60 apiece

Nearly everyone did poor last week so I wouldn't use that as a reason to start making bold moves. And trading out Aubo this early is a big over reaction in my opinion. You had him for a reason and despite not scoring as well as expected he played the role and minutes you expected. Players don't tend to just get shit so maybe consider it an off day from him and hope that he resumes his usual scoring level when playing 80 in the backrow

Smith. Unless you are comparing Fifita/Parker/Gal pre injury/Mannering with Smith, always go with Smith up against anyone. Unless you are getting to the end of the season and need some POD points

Solid advice, cheers beast.

probably

Cartwright averaged 34.6 off the bench last year. weapons guy is underselling him a bit.

(but 35 is still less than what you'd want)

Think Ah Mau will surprise everyone, gut feeling
JTurbo is a boss so would love to have him.
Carter wont get attacking stats every week like he did and will average 30, another gut feeling

*whispers* Dont trust a word i say *whispers*

^^ I think the biggest gamble people took to start the year was on minutes. New interchange rules coupled with so many trades over the off season meant that was the biggest question mark, not so much what a player could do with those minutes. If you got it right and one of your players is getting the minutes you hoped (or more) I wouldn't doubt their ability just yet. Its when they fall under one or more of the following you start to worry
a) an injury
b) they were a complete unknown so you had no ability judgement to go on, looks like you picked the wrong cow
c)they got less minutes

This whole season has the been the biggest clusterfuck for fantasy and we are only 1 week in. Big name injuries, multiple good looking cash cows popping up but uncertainty on minutes/role, poor week 1 scores across the board from typically high scoring players, and a new interchange rule that not even the coaches seem to have a good understanding on how to best use

Play Feeney or start one of Green, Gutherson, Mitchell instead?

Aubs might get a reprieve but Carty is gone like the great Russian runner Fuckoffski.

How many minutes do we think until Klemmer does something stupid enough to cop another suspension?

I faced the same decision and chose Mitchell based on the opposition he had compared to the oppositions the others have.

..... This where I want Mitchell to score 4 tries against the raiders but the raiders still win with whitehead scoring 5 tries.

Big things from Klemmer this season
