This is the bit where people like me take our chance to laugh at all those who picked Belly.

Im still crying because i went set and forget :'( HS seem to be deliberately screwing them this year >:(

This situation sucks, I'm 1.5k short of Leuey so will need to trade on Saturday to free up some cash, don't have any other options. It would be better if he wasn't named, at least then I could plan around his absence.

Plays on Saturday unfortunately, switching to Leuey is a good back-up plan but I may need to trade this week to create the funds. I hate it when I'm agonsingly short of making a trade.

Maybe Cox will get a game. Heard he's a gun.

Worst case I keep a trade spare for the Sunday. If Bartel misses I trade him to Berger using Bellchambers and problem solved.

There's always Dawson Simpson I guess, or maybe I should just make a trade that I planned for next week.

[Jimmykidd]

ive got TBC in the fwds so ill cop an emergency score if hes out. if no good next week then well i dunno, i guess downgrade to rookie.

Just another thing with Bellchambers, we will have a better idea tomorrow. Apparently the Dons haven't been doing much work as a group on the track at all this week. I am watching the Melksham interview and he said they will ramp it up tomorrow so if he trains then I will say he plays. They also had to elevate someone for Winderlich and McKernan was probably the front runner. I don't read much into that due to the fact that Giles probably comes in anyway.

At 2.52 they ask him about Bellchambers and it seems pretty positive

Thinking TBC is named and plays.  McKernan upgraded to help against McEvoy/Ceglar.  BJ did say they'd only play 1 ruck depending on the opposition.

Seems positive so hopefully good to go. If he's named and trains I can't see any reason why he would be a late withdrawl.
