    I was wrong and I am glad!

    I said the Giants would NEVER trade Boyd. I was wrong. They caved.

    I am glad I was wrong. Kudos to everyone involved.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

          I really didn't think we'd get him and said so yesterday and today.

              In reality they shouldn't have.

              Great for us kudos to having a List Manager, makes a huge difference to a club.

                  I posted yesterday that they would, but I was probably hoping more than being sure it would happen

                  JMac and Simon seem to be working v.well together

                      The nuance, I think, MJP is that prior to today we had not put pick 6 on the table with Griffen. On the straight swap proposal, which I think is what was on the table up to today, you were in fact correct.

                                  No. I meant that they wouldn't trade him full stop - regardless of the offer. And they shouldn't have. A mistake that they will regret for 10years. You just don't get key forwards like this unless you finish last...they are not set up to finish last for a long time...better hope Patton comes back strong.

                                      Imagine if we finish in the bottom few next year and end up with two of them!

                                          I was wrong, too. After the Giants CEO came out and categorically said he wouldn't be traded.

                                          Now, we both look like gooses but I'm a happy goose.
                                          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
