I love it when people ask this cos it gives me yet another opportunity to tell my story of bye planning last year  .  I was 16000th in Round 10 last year.  Traded solely based on byes and was 800th by Round 18.  Finished 1450 but it can be done!!!

Holy crap! Made up heaps of ground!

No injury/strategy reason I don't think. Played those minutes either side of halftime and deadset went like a bull at a gate, which left me personally thinking it was definitely the plan.

I still have the screenshot . If you hang around the forum long enough you'll realise I am the whipping boy as I can't work the fuck out how to post photos on here. One day I may break the code and suddenly start posting pics. There will be no stopping me then.

Bit of bummer he missed a few tackles against south when they demolished them in the first 20 mins or so. That was the first time he was promoted to the starting side, since then, back to the bench and less minutes.

Let's hope it's not a recurring thing.. The minutes, that is..

Hope so, does myles take a few of them? He plays more than a half doesn't he?

It's ok, Filth supports the Warriors and the Dragons!  

Good point, the one team renowned for being more inconsistent than us and the blokes who have managed 40 points in 5 games (and were lucky to get those), seriously *insert white line Johns comment here*

so is everyone banking on Kennar getting Chambers spot?
He will be a major cash out option this week if so for many teams.

Did chambers get injured?

The worry with BLaw is I am pretty sure he interchanged with JTurbo. JTurbo won't be getting less than 60 on average going forward you would think. Also bad news for Jake owners if it's the trend.

How many starters per round do you reckon will be the average for each round given the bye structure this year?

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I think myles plays about 50 minutes too so he has to share with lusick, jturbo and starling..

Myles has been useless, should barely get 30min for what he offers let alone 50

Oh wow lol, must have missed that one.. Too bad Curtis Scott got injured too! Would have been a great cash cow..

He is useless! Vave even makes more of an impact..

Did it for you SI, i know how you like to tell that story.
But really i was hoiping you were going to say beat the living shite out of your mates haha

Just checked minutes. JTurbo 59 and Blaw 21.

Owners of both will be praying that was a one off to manage Jake, and not the game plan going forward.
