Thompson or Kennar but I can't get either for a straight swap. I'm considering trading SST as well so still tinkering a bit.

The physio or whoever he was from the Bunnies said Reynolds is probably back in round 5 so what does that mean for Doueihi when he's back?

He may get dropped until the next week when ARey gets injured again.

I think if Doughy is a shining light and the Rabbits pick up a few wins over the next four weeks he may find himself a starting spot in the halves somewhere or as a utility off the bench. Could even pop into the centres where he played some parts in the World Cup (1. GI 2. AJ 3. Doughy 4. Gagai 5. Kennar)

I feel like I'm bucking the trend keeping SST. One more week won't hurt and I didn't start with him to trade after a week. 2 weeks maybe lol

When does the movement for an AE happen? Is it at the end of the game in which they dont play that they move everyone around, or is it at the end of the round? It makes a huge difference to how you play it.

The argument about how fantasy scores are affected by against what team a player is up against is riddled with flaws.

For example: Teddy didn't always score big against a weaker team like some hoped when they put the C on him last season.

A player's score can be unpredictable game to game whoever they play. There's so many variables.

I think a players fantasy history and reputation are more relevant to their scoring potential



What are your thoughts?

I completely agree, I find that the closer games generally provide bigger fantasy scores.

My 2 cents... you're best putting the C on a consistent scorer instead of trying to guess when an inconsistent scorer will go big. Unless you go with the latter option all season so that it averages out.

You need a 1000 reps at least

Whoops.

I was all for trading in Doueihi and playing him, but thinking more about it, bringing him in and then trading him up in about 3 weeks or just trading in DCE now and sit on him till at least round 13.
I think this year more than ever, saving trades might be the smarter option.................

Crichton sounds very excited to play with Doui (Angus has picked the nickname). Really sells his tackling skills saying he took down big George Burgess at training.

I think Doughy will play more than 3 games this season

Great thanks, if there are multiple AEs how do they determine which order to resolve them in?

I don't think even Failhub know. You'd think it would go in order of games played with a positional check done in between or similar

Not even Fanhub knows, someone emailed that question and they couldn't answer it.

I agree he will for the year, but in 3 weeks IF Reynolds is ready, then he will surely start, which leaves Doueihi with maybe a 20-25 min spot on the bench or not there at all. That's the problem..Knowing me I will keep changing my mind right up until 4.29pm on Saturday
