How was everything setup in your team?

Is this little Manly hooker worth trading in as EMG cover?

Korosau will be back in the next month

Edit: Just calm down, rabs

Hey guys, got a few questions:

Switched on briefly to a few of the games yesterday. Am I right in thinking both Mannering and Matterson were defending in the middle?

Presumably Matterson switches back to the edge next week but Mannering will be in the middle until Harris comes back?

Also, can anyone tell me why Mann got so many minutes? minutes suggest something happened with Nene. Did he go off injured?

Fotuaika looks like a gun un the making. he's put up two big scores on big minutes last two games. Any chance he gets a starting role next year? I think they said he's only 18?

Also, what is Tevaga's usual position. I have no stats to base this off but he looks like a PPM machine.

Shit week for me, dropped back to 47th.

Of all my hookers who would have thought Smith scores the lowest.

Up to 27th now and hopefully can make top 10 with some luck, sitting 100 points behind.

Really. I thought he was out for like 10 weeks or something?

I would love to bring him in wolfie, just don't have the trades or anyone to get rid of for him.

20 Holland
21 Mann

As Random said on last page, I'm assuming that Holland subbed in for Tedesco, meaning Mann couldn't be used for Mitchell.

Unless the app is reporting incorrect figures to me.. though I went through and added up all 18 rounds for the season and the total is short 15 (Manns score).

I'm not hugely fussed about it, unless I lose the cash comp by less than 15 points

I'm looking at bringing in another hooker too.

Any thoughts on Macca vs Luke vs Hodgo vs Levi?

I'm thinking Levi @ 430 could be a nice cheap POD, with decent job security given the Knights' injuries.

Im not sure but it seemed Matterson was in the middle. Mannering I thought started on the edge but then moved to the middle later in the game by the looks? I don't really know though.

Mann came on for a foot injury to McDonald. Didn't seem that serious but bad enough for him not to return.

I wanted to take the punt on Fotuaika after his first fame but never did. Gun.

Wow Johnson has dropped 145k since I bought him two weeks ago... hahaha!

Johnson no longer a gun. Just Greens pleb haha

Who have ya currently got? You must have Fainu to omit him.

Smith, Cook, Farah. No Fainu as Koro is looming and I'd rather not double-trade....

Thanks mate!

Fair enough mate.

I think of those guys it's a bit of a lottery. Just go for the least owned maybe?

I am honestly thinking Fifita to Taupau (yeah fifita’s minutes were up but Gallen was also battling a virus so his minutes were down) and S’ua > Kikau. Kikau still 609K and is a great last bench spot plus FRF/2RF cover. 
Happy to have Fainu as 18th man for now until Koro is back. Should make enough money to be turned into a good 18th man by then and keeping AJ Brimson this week as he will make a little cash and can be turned into hopefully crofty next week.

These are the usual roles for Mannering and Matterson. Manning normally spends about 60% of his time on the field defending at lock and on attack he is out wide. Matterson starts the game defending outwide then floats into the middle to rest the big boys. Also plays a link man role in attack so that is where most of his running is done.

On loophole order, this is how AE worked when I tested it early in the season

First time TPJ subbed in as FRF and I got a 2RF as sub.
2nd time TPJ subbed in as 2RF and I got an FRF as EMG


Not sure if the order of the players games made the difference or it was something else.
I should have set up some more scenarios to get a better idea of how it worked, but it was a bit of effort to switch logins just to try and test looping so I gave up.
