Rule #2 - Never pick Maubbs

If you want to be a mod on this forum here are some guidelines that will help you :

- get a 1000 reps
- send d-pics to Random
- back Maubs no matter what
- use a "love" emoticon when writing Maubs' name

Brilliant

Thank fuck I didn’t go with my original trade choice of getting Aubbs in the CTR spot for a lockdown CTR option over the popular Kennar/Isaako choice

Although he will still probably score more than them coming off the bench

Point taken. Who is keen for some FOOTY tonight!

See whether TPJ gets subbed into FRF or 2RF

I would think TPJ replaces Savelio as Broncos play tonight and TPJ is the first 2nd rower in the list.
Which means you would get JBrom for Lynch

And that my friends is why you don't pick Mitch Aubusson in your fantasy teams...

Poor Rabs has Lolohea & Aubusson & no ctr/wfb cover & has already done his 2 trades I think.

So last week I panicked at the last second and got rid of Kikau, this week he was the person traded back in. But now I’m second guessing, should I trade in Rochow instead? I’m concerned as last year his scores were so poor off the bench and last weeks score included a try. He looked really good but is he the real deal?

Black widdow strikes again.

Thanks for this Milchcow.

It'll be interesting to see if Fanhub have got this right (Pangai into front row and RFM into second row) or fucked it up (Pangai into second row and Bromwich into front row). I kind of expect it's going to be the latter one.

Why do you think that would be the "correct" choice? Because of the relative positions of JBrom and RFM?

I would expect that wherever Pangai goes, he should do so even if I change the ordering of people below him.
Expecting an AE algorithm to examine the available positions of all potential substitutes and try to make guesses as to the best possible organisation of the team is too much to ask even of a company that knows how to produce a working match centre.

My guess is he goes to FRF, because that spot will get filled first, and he is the highest ranked FRF on my bench. And that he would do so whatever other players/positions I had ranked below him

wacko reckons the Panthers are expected to do what they did last week & RCG/Kikau back to bench.

But Wacko doesn't have any inside knowledge, hes just assuming that because they did it once, they'll do it again

Burnt by Aubbs yet again. This stopped being funny in 2013

I still love you Aubs

If I do so remember correctly last year he would come off the bench for 10-20 minutes stints at the end of a game

I use the tears as lubricant.

One of the only things we "know" about AEs is that they are done at the end of the round, and not on a game by game basis.

That said, we haven't seen it in action, we are only going on what we have been told.

Ok cool, so it’s different this time. His minutes are higher and he has obviously improved. I think I’ll regret it again if I trade him at the last second again

Rabbit picked Maubbs ?
