Is Aubbo being wasted?

[Easts75]

I've got to disagree with most and say I like the way Aubo is used . To me he is a great utility and has the most impact when used in spurts off the bench. Yes 2010 he was great but if you look at he's career in whole, off the bench is his go IMO

...and you forgot ...half a season

IMO he suffers from being too clean, too polite and there being a perception that he doesn't have the mongrel/dirt in him.

Rightly or wrongly I feel a lot of clean players suffer from this.

Guys like Tony Williams can do 1 big fat illegal tackle that was, effing stupid and effing reckless and coulda put the guy in a wheelchair. 20 Round suspension or whatever (for being an effing retard) and he comes back with a new name... T-REX... what a monster!!! Give him an Origin spot straight away and shop him around for $500k+!! Aubo has him covered easily...

Aubo's Mr Consistent, no penalties, plays fair and just never gets tired, whinges, has brain f@rts or does stupid stuff...etc. IMO playing like that doesn't give you a 'reputation'. If he wants an Origin spot and a pay raise he's gonna have to beat up him Mrs and get suspended for some dirty tackes. I hate how it often works that way. Give the kid the redemption story because that sells newspapers... toss aside your clean players while doing so. Not cool!

With regards to Guerra supporting Hodges, I would say if you had the opportunity to help a SOO team mate and good friend play in their last NRL match that happens to be a Grand Final and didn't, then you would be a real jerk in my mind...
Guerra's season was not all bad. Sure he was no SBW, but no one slotting into that position was ever going to do a SBW each week..

Anyway I've got plenty of love for Mitch Aubbo. I hope he sees out his career at Easts after playing more that 250 games in the red, white and blue....

Yeah I'm over Guerra's decision now. FWIW - maybe he did milk it and was just telling the truth? Stupier things have happened.

As much as I hate Hodges and the Broncos, it woulda been a bit of an anti-climax if Hodges was out suspended and the Broncos got pumped because they were short a star centre. We got the best footy game possible, and we got to see Hodges cry after being within seconds of a fairytale victory. Gold if you ask me!!

Great post ism22.

Big fan of Aubbs but thought he had an off year in 2015...
Expect the new limited interchange rule will benefit him with a more stable role & game time...
Would hate to lose him to another club...

The Guerra bashing that has continued unabated since our defeat to Brisbane is truly sickening All hail Aiden Guerra The Chookpens new whipping boy

"truly sickening" ????????
What a bizarre over-statement.

Are you one of the new age type who spend all their spare time looking for something to be outraged about?

I reckon AG will be at the Titans in 2017, with SBW returning.

Let's hope not......

@ the end of the day with the new rules, I'd like to see Tauks on our right edge and Cords our our left edge with Aubbo picking his runs through the middle on tired forwards. 8 man interchange will change the game more than most think..
