Once I read the quote by McGregor that JDB will be playing 80 mins this year I got him in.

The cynic in me can't trust what coaches say about such things. I need to see it in action first

I think I got done by a bit of group think too. Shortly after I downgraded JDB to Gallen, M_S talked about the same thing, and it gave me that little bit of reassurance.
Maybe if he hadn't done that, or if someone said "Milchcow you idiot, JDB will kill it this year" then maybe things would have been different.

I know we always tell people to own their choices, but I think the talk and players mentioned frequently on here has to have an effect, consciously or subconciously

Now that I've missed him, I think he will settle down around the $620k mark, so trading him in this week for Gallen/Surgess isn't smart as this week and next will probably be the largest price gap between them, and it should start narrowing again as their scores revert to mean a little.

Could make some serious cash

Scott Bolton will look pretty tempting if Scott goes down long term

I started with Bolton based on his starting role numbers last year; he was undervalued by about 7 points from memory. I traded him to Musgrove tonight (who I had in my team up till a couple of hours before lockout). The clincher was the 80k, otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

Bolton had a great first stint both last week and this week, but both second stints were disappointing. The second stint last week was extra minutes and still only managed 38 points, after being 24 after the first stint. This week he was 25 after the first stint, and I know he got injured, but managed only 15 in the second/third. Not bad, and he tries hard, but looks keen as early and then gassed when he comes back on.

Might put my trades on hold this week. Plenty of interesting options presenting themsleves from those games

I don't think Bolton has the extra minutes in him mate

Shame I had Gillett hopefully he'll be back next week. Scorers hate him as I saw he made three tackles in a row and was given one point then two missed tackles not sure if it'll get fixed up but we'll see.

What the fuck happened to Welch? I watched until the 50th min and he was just about to come back on and on 17 then logged on now and he scored 55 without a try?

God dammit, 3 and 1/2 hours of meetings this morning meant i missed most of that game, including the ending.... Congrats @Welshy on Macca going large.

I have Macca too

Whats this news about Talakai?, most likely wont be awake at 6am so best to switch Kelly in him for safety?

Sole reason I started with him but I was not expecting this!

Unless there is no further injuries this week ima trade Kbrom out for Mannering

I'll take it

At half time who would have thought Kafausi would score more then KBrom by full time

Got the Storm Warriors updates?

As a Mannering owner, he seems to be working his arse off but not quite getting the Fantasy numbers to match it
