For me, the Sub should be selected on a horses for courses basis, the "Ideal Sub" is really code for "Lazy MC"!
Wrong.
The ideal sub is Kouta. Can dominate any position on the ground if required.
Of course, he would always be best 22, but there you go.
I don't think there is a perfect sub, but there are certainly plenty of wrong subs imo.
Having a ruck as a sub is the worst thing you can do. You are better off paying 2 rucks than paying 1 and a sub.
Having a vanilla player like LOB who can't really influence a game is also a wrong choice.
If no injury concerns....use a mid and rotate who rests each week for the long season.
If a couple of people have injuries who are a bit iffy, have someone who can cover them.
Personally I like the Jack of all trades option and/or someone who can make an impact with minimal time. 2 examples
Kemp - can play tall or small or on a wing in a pinch
Martin - could kick 3 goals in 5 minutes ago based off half chances.
