THOUGHTS?

And in true numpty form, I am running a benched Carty in the halves since my backup Croker is also gone (what a week!), because I can't decide between JMK and Hastings.

Sitting and waiting on two players with breakevens of 0.... what a farking numpty!

At the risk of Dugan dying on the field and avoiding that

That second trade to get Macca in looks the goods

You getting flooded in again there or not?

Well, just caught up on the news, Croker dropped hey?  Fucking harsh.  I really don't like many of the other options.  JMK was on the cards but now I'm not sure.  First trade was Lichaa to MBye so that's sorted but now all other options are shit for the second spot.  Might have to reverse my Rochow trade and keep the coin for something else.  Might see if Moses can bounce back or if Niko can get some consistency.  

I might even just chuck Carty in for this week and reasses next week. He should be able to jag 20 points hopefully.  Hastings and Koro might stink it up in their new positions and Croker might get a recall.

I doubt Fanhub can give a comprehensive answer on AE subbing rules as I doubt they know themselves

Week 2
TPJ subs in as FRF



Week 3
TPJ subs in as 2RF




Same 17 named each week, just changed order of 19-21, and it changed what no 18 did.

Did Dugan play fullback in round 2 or only for round 3? I can’t remember lol
Anyone thinking of bringing him in?

Liverpool has kindly offered to keep them doing them throughout the season whilst @Honeysett is under the thumb with his new Missus.

But who is doing the all important Carter Award thats the burning question SI

Although to be fair is there a rule about where a DPP goes when subbing in?

I think I'm going to bring in Peachey for Hayne, rather than JMK/Hastings just so that I can avoid becoming one of those nuffies who has no centre coverage

bluetige has been in and out. Did someone else takeover at one stage, I can't remember?

Bugger it just give to Cartwright each week.

We’ll know more after this week. That’s my prediction.

That's the mildest prediction I've seen you ever make. Woose.
At worst, surely he goes to the bench and makes a bit more cash.

Keep in mind he could go back to the bench at any time. Especially if May comes back. But really the peach can score as good as most centres off the bench.

There are rules, but the rules don't mention what order AEs happen if you need more than 2.

And it seems that it is variable. As shown, I've had TPJ sub in as a FRF and a 2RF where the only obvious change was the order of subs below TPJ.
In both cases Savelio played before Lynch, but TPJ has subbed in for both of them

Is the Croker news confirmed? I don't want to accidentally get his score if I decide to loop him.

Yeah , his BE is high enough I could try running with just 2 CTRs this week, and fix it up next round.

Shame panthers play first up this round so I have to decide tomorrow

Didn't Dugan have an interview where he protested he was not a glassman? Why would he lie to me in interview form? Would be interesting to see how many games he didn't finish the 80.

Not this time! Some pretty heavy rain but the house is staying dry. Last time people were legit canoeing up and down my street!

He was FB Round 2 and scored like shit. I'd imagine he'd tend to score well there though, always has in the past (when not broken).

Last year Dugan played 17 games and failed to play the full 80, 7 times. His best effort was round 22 which was 24 minutes for -4 points.

You did warn us about that

Hmm that is weird, Broncos and Titans played in the same order both weeks, so it seems that isnt what determines the order they are resolved in.
