Speaker: It is. The fantasy rugby angst. My name is Jared Dyke. I wanted to say it's stupid and let's move on, but then you kept going. I'm Ben Glauser. I don't like any way anybody handled that. A collusion. Collusion. What's up, guys? It's the fantasy rugby angst and we're drafted. My name's Jared Dyke.
Speaker: and with us for as many drafts as we possibly can ever get him. It's a good friend, George, the fancy rugby geek. What's going on, man? Doing good, guys. Good to see you. Good to see you. Let's do this. 40 seconds, and you're on the clock, George. Where are we going? I am going to be very, very unoriginal.
Speaker: DMACC. All right. Well, that leaves me with either Talia or Jordan. So I remind everyone of the draft order. It's George, Justin, myself, Ben, Mark, Cobus, Stu, and then Duncan, and then obviously the flip side on the end of it on the draft. Any way better, you're happy.
Speaker: No. Yeah. Very good. Let's see. Who's, who's Godfrey Dom? Who's number three? Me. Ah, okay. Okay. Okay. All right. I'm hoping we see a lot of the guy I named the team after. So we'll see.
Speaker: Well, there's a original pick. There's no original pick, and, you know, fly halves, there's just no depth there anyway, so... Yeah, somebody's gonna come to the fore with some of the guys that are missing this year. Yeah. We'll see.
Speaker: Well, uh, Mark Talia is gone now. And I'm going to, I am also going to be very unoriginal and go with well, Jordan. Exactly. The first three kind of pit themselves. I mean, what was I supposed to do again? Somebody please explain that one to me. Oh, come on. Yeah, I'm working on it. It's being in our soul.
Speaker: Is he, is he, is he legal now? I thought he was, I thought he was playing for the roosters. I heard a rumor that he was off to league. So yeah, what happened there? Hmm. The thing is not going for me. Hold on. Let me refresh. Cause this thing, this thing's being an asshole. Refresh it. Come on.
Speaker: I mean, the autodraft would be well short. So there are worse problems to have. There we go. Good God. I mean, put myself a little bit there. Let's see. Okay. Now, Washington and Wassey is off on 2025. So he's good for this year.
Speaker: That was not the part of the deal I missed. That was the part of the deal I missed, too. A little bit. Alright, so we got Stevenson, Parafetta. Parafetta, yeah. Parafetta's decent pick up. No. Is he Fly or is he OB? Fly, yeah. Oh, because he's probably going to be, so. Yeah. Alright, good to know. Alright, I like it. Yeah, with no Bodhi.
Speaker: Because you wired them. Oh, okay. So we're correct. That's right. Forgot about that. Very good. Uh, you're, you're going off the board, Ben. Yep.
Speaker: I'm interested to see Gilbert as a midfielder this year. Uh, Sam Gilbert's also as a midfielder this year. Yeah. He'll be, he'll be on kicks. Although I saw Patchel was, um, at the Landers. Yeah. Cause that's who I want to kick. Yeah. No. Well, it's not, I have no idea who they're going to be playing at 10. There are fuck all tens though. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see how healthy Reese's coming off that. Tell me, tell me now why playing for a new team is interesting. Yeah. That's going to be fun. I think he's going to do damage. He's going to do damage. If he had, yeah, if he did what he did with Pacifica, like, uh, yes, because
Speaker: I mean, it's a rotation of Havelia McLeod and maybe Goodhue. Yeah, but like Goodhue's gone. Like he's, he's gone by his day. So if I'm having my pick, it's definitely Amua and Havelia. Duncan's got his mitt sorted already. I guess the hell. Sam Gilbert and Jordy Barrett. Damn. Okay. Yeah. Yes it did.
Speaker: All right, this is gonna be this is gonna be way too much fun there goes on more that doesn't shock me He's gonna take it he's gonna do he take first so he's either taking an OB or a mid I Bet he goes OB he missed he obviously missed any OBs coming out. So I
Speaker: One and two and three and four on notice. Yeah. There's some, some interesting things going here.
Speaker: Come on. Come on. He's not load shedding, is he? That was just what I was thinking. There we go. Ooh, a Massey. Midfielder. OK. I mean, I'm not arguing it, but at the same time, maybe he's just thinking there's enough OBs that you can come back around and be happy with. That's the only thing I can come up with.
Speaker: Depending on how these next two picks go, I think I know what my next two picks will be. Depending. All right.
Speaker: Yeah. Well, this year especially. So, let's see, what jersey am I wearing here? Oh yeah, that one. We're gonna go with that. Oh, nice. Sort of that out. There's no bye weeks this year, is there? Okay. It's faded, it's gone.
Speaker: I mean, this is how old it is. This is how old it is. It's old man. It didn't, yeah. And this is, this has done me good. Nice. Oh yeah. As much as you always go, you could do worse. I am just going to lay it out with outside backs. I really do. That's not bad at all either. Okay.
Speaker: Oh man, I have... Wrecking Ball. The No Wrecking Ball. All right. Came in like a No Wrecking Ball. Ah, spoiled for choice in some places here, but others not so much. Well, let's do this. I love this guy so much. Yeah. He's such a great World Cup. He is such a great World Cup.
Speaker: Yeah, he's just miles ahead as near all the halfbacks. Yeah. I mean, I could have gone one of the hundred other OBS that are sitting here, but really like that's pro in terms of our fantasy wants for a halfback. There aren't many that are going to do what regard did besides like maybe Tate. Yeah, that was the other one I considered, but yeah.
Speaker: I don't blame you for taking that one. So our last few picks are right in Na Na Satoro for George on the turn, Nureki, Roy Guard, Ryasi, and Kenina Hollow, the other, the other winger for hurricanes. If he runs, which he does. Yeah. I like a 250 pound winger if they can move. If they can't, then I don't want it. I don't want it. Will Naholo be starting there for the question?
Speaker: Probably. I don't know who else there is. I'm fat. Yeah. Samaki. Who's that? Yeah. Oh, you're an Unbelo. Yeah.
Speaker: You and your brain has a terrifying place. I know. Yeah. Say it was off the board. 22 that's a steal. It's probably worth it. Yeah. That's a steal right there. Who's left here? Oh, I like some of this stuff. Okay.
Speaker: Yeah, all right. I was just looking ahead at my next pick here, seeing if I can, if I need to jump a gun on anything or not, and I don't think I need to. Still plenty of O .B.'s. Yeah. Yeah, you got your starters. Are the Force going to play a good enough like Brando Roby to get spanked space?
Speaker: Because he is very good, but like, Revutamanda off the board, that's a good one, I like that one. Who's going to be playing 10 for the force? That's actually probably a brilliant question, because I have no idea. Crusader's front row, there goes Marky Mark for, so Duncan takes Crusader's front row, and now Wakatinawasi on the turn. Crusader's front row without Cody Taylor. Yeah, that's the thing that, like, Hurricanes still have Levi Aamua. Yeah. That's enough for me.
Speaker: Oh, that's right. I forgot he moved there and Nick white's there nine now. All right. So we got competent. Yeah. Tim was definitely a problem spot for them last year. And I liked, I liked the youth guys that they were trying there, but they didn't quite pan out. So I don't blame the fellows at Perth for going a different direction.
Speaker: Certainly not for a guy that played as much as he did for the wall of East Grant. It was kind of a knucklehead pick by Eddie, but he didn't do that badly. Yeah. Add that to a long list. A long list. How much do you can do it? You believe in your own truth. Massey and Amor. Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker: Didn't see that message before. Is he panicking or has he just forgotten that? There he is. You're Winston. Max Jorgensen. Okay. I like that pecker. He was a, he was a late, he was a bolter for me and he turned out all right last year. All right. So that means Cobus, Mark, Ben. All right. So we know Ben's not going OB. Where you going mid fly half, loose forward. Is he finally healthy? Good job.
Speaker: Well, if Tupac is healthy, he's probably the better, fancy player. Sean Pattaya, another guy I like. Is he healthy, though? Again. Is he ever healthy? I know, poor fellas made a glass. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yep, yep. And then have a backup plan, because otherwise you're screwed.
Speaker: Send him to work with me. I'll keep him strong. Corey tool. Yeah. He'd been sitting there for a long time. I was wondering. Yeah. I thought he should have made that wallaby squad. There you go. All right. All right. I'm going to take what I want and then see what's left on the, when I get back.
Speaker: So I'm going to take so to do. Yeah, there I was I was thinking there are not a ton of loose forwards that are going to pop this bill. There'll be plenty that pop, but we just don't know which ones right now. Like it's a short list. Yeah.
Speaker: heavily off the board. Yeah, that was a value pick at that point, so. Right, I'm gonna go for one of my favourites here. Josh Morby. Yep, and that's the Hurricanes back through right there. And I am also gonna go for a front row pick. Hopefully Angus Bell stays a bit fitter this year.
Speaker: I mean, if, if he does, that's a, and it's Parecki still on that team too. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, that's a, that's a quality. And Harry Johnson homes as well. Okay. Okay. I respect it. All right. So we got to play us a two, two habili more of the toss one row and fall off. I just fell off the board as well. All right. At this point, I don't
Speaker: I don't think I have many gambles in my team. So I'm going to take one on the new kid reverse. Uh, transition time for Justin. Oh, it's just in dropping off. Yeah. He said, nervey transition time. See you soon. Oh man. Hope he's back in time. He's got, he's got a little time.
Speaker: See you guys. There he goes. Tonkyaho still around, yes? Yup. Okay. That's all I need. Even if he gets limited by Alblox rest, it's still pretty good. And they always turn out a decent pair of props at some point or another. Taavao, yeah. Is he still there? I think so. LennyKitao, that's a good pick. He's gone.
Speaker: Oh, oh, oh, well, yeah, they lost. They lost Nippo. Oh, so it actually doesn't show me. That's a good pick. I like that one. I reserve the right to revisit in like a few weeks, but that's all that.
Speaker: All right. Cobus is up. Oh yeah. Justin's not picking for another nine picks. He might be okay. But midfielders are such a bitch to fucking pick. I will say that like, man, finding a quality midfielder is not fun at all. Macca Springer. What's the deal with him? So he's, is he going to be starting for Crusaders?
Speaker: Um, I would think so. Depending on. Yeah. Yeah. But he's a, he's a bad, he's a bad guy. He's a depth guy. There's the word I was thinking of. He's a, he's a depth guy. Um, I will say there's how far down is he? Hold on.
Speaker: Oh, Billy Proctor. Damn you, Cobus. I had him on my brain. Yep. Fucking hell. All right. Fair enough. Fair play. Okay. He's down there a bit. All right. Got an idea in my back pocket. Vunivalo is way too high on this list. Yeah, he really is. I know he fell over the line once or twice in the World Cup, but Jesus, he was not that good for the Reds last year.
Speaker: Not to my recollection, at least maybe I had too much to drink, but you know. I guess Harry. Harry Wilson. Again, we're talking about the limited quality of good loose forwards for this game. There'll be some that pop, but we don't know who they are yet. Good to see Diganoo's fallen down the list a little bit, though. He was such a disappointment, sadly. Sad to say.
Speaker: So where's Tango Nyikon now? He's at the rebels camp. He's with the rebels now. Replacing Monty Yohani I imagine. Yeah. McRate -McRong. Good pickup. Yep, that's a good one.
Speaker: Duncan's taking his time on this on the turn here. Let's get one more. You can do it. Whatever it is you can do. You can do it. Are you going? Are you going to go with your guy at half back there Ben?
Speaker: You don't have a fly half yet, do you? You might want one of them. You got one, two, three, a few picks to wait, so you're going to be holding your bum for a bit.
Speaker: Not anymore. Well, maybe O 'Connor will come back to form. I don't think he was bad last year, but I just don't think he was himself either. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true.
Speaker: Crichton might get a few games as well. Tough call. Is it Hudson? JOC might, Jock might slip into the centers. That's tough. And Lola CO, Lola CO, he won't kick, will he? With Ryan Lonergan. Um, depends. I think it depends on. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Valentini off the board.
Speaker: Is he going by his, by his given name now? All right. I respect that. Yeah. Let it, let it wrap around your brain a little bit there, Ben. I'll rattle around in there before you have to. You're going to, later Ben's going to have a lot more problems than you can, than you realize. Oh no, that's, that's, oh, that's his cousin, isn't it?
Speaker: That's his cousin, that's who that is, okay. Well, Valentini. Yeah, no, no, no, that's the... Yeah, it's either his cousin or his brother. It's his brother, okay, that's it. That's his brother. He plays for Fiji, though, and the jewel. All right, so Valentini, Lamani off. That is an interesting pick, I don't need it.
Speaker: There goes Springer. That's a quality, that's a value pick at this point. Definitely a value at that one. Yep. All right. So we're going to go bad. Don't mess it up. Whatever you think I'm doing.
Speaker: I know what I need so just matter what order I want to pick it in Don't think you hard been
Speaker: Do it. Yeah, I'll be. This is worse. I have, I think I have two hurricanes of three. I have two. A bunch of kiwis though. Second gamble a day, Sam Spink.
Speaker: That's either going to be brilliant or it's going to be fucking stupid. We'll find out. Get away. All right. Let's get my halfback sorted then. Tate McDermott. And midfielders. The Tate.
Speaker: Let's at least get one midfielder on the board. Right. That's what I was thinking too. I was like, I need one of these. Even if it's not a great one. Actually, I quite like Josh Fluke and he plays. He plays on the wing a lot. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. He does play on the wing quite a bit. So there, there have been many worse decisions made on that.
Speaker: All right, so good news is I think we got Justin back on online because he think he made his last pick. Yeah, no, maybe not. No, he did. Okay, good. Good. Good. Yeah, there you go. Feed Sam Spank the ball all day long, please. All right.
Speaker: Okay. Do it. I need another OB. And when he's healthy, he's good. He's just going to stay healthy. Stay healthy, damn it. Take a move. That's not that bad of a risk though. Yeah.
Speaker: Who else is going to have the tea? Yeah. No, no, no. He'll have the tea. He doesn't have Donaldson on the team anymore. So yeah. Yeah. Donaldson cloud probably will start most games for the Crusaders. If it's not a habilian Amua. It's true. That's true.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean I think about that that senator Perry and that's the one that scares me the most yeah Yeah, that's probably true, but me Yeah, I think that was also when Jordan was still recovering too. So that was probably less than ideal I potter Lonergan okay
Speaker: Potter goes back to Australia. Is he going to get a cap? Probably not. I think there's too many people in front of him. O 'Connor, there goes that. That's a good spot for him probably. Are we on 62?
Speaker: Oh yeah. Cool. Okay. Okay. I like it. So I have a, I think I haven't. Yup. I want to go one of two ways, depending on how this run goes here. Uh, it goes when you follow, as I said, don't.
Speaker: Maybe he returns to the guy he once was, which was a while ago, but... Someone steal him. Someone steal him now. All right, so, Stu's up. Cobus, Mark, Ben, and then back to Ma. Okay, good.
Speaker: Just making sure everyone's paying attention. I am. Are you? Oh yeah. Nice. Yeah. That was a, that was a pretty sneaky pick last year. Worked out pretty well. Uh, did you.
Speaker: Uh -huh. Yeah, there were weeks where he definitely performed well, though. So. He? Danny Tawala. Wow. So it wasn't bad. No. Excuse me.
Speaker: Your problem, not mine. So how much snow did you get Ben? Yeah. Same, same. So much for that foot that we're supposed to get. It was supposed to be dumping, was it? Oh yeah. And then like overnight, the storm decided to turn south of us and just completely whiff.
Speaker: Like, schools were canceled, buildings were closed, offices were closed, and then we got this wet fart of a snowstorm over here. That's really all it is. Okay, that's a good pick there. He's been hanging around for a bit and probably needed to be picked up at some point here. All right. All right, what do you think, Finn? Here we go. Finn, he's gone. Okay. All right, so.
Speaker: We are nearing like do what the fuck you want. Pick time. So, uh, so I have an inkling that one of these guys is going to do a, where the fuck are you? Not him. Curtis is right. Yeah.
Speaker: Because he's probably taking Nankaville's spot. Yeah. Well, when he came on last year, although, I mean, if it's too far, too far. Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm covering my bases here. I'm going to grab him and I got one more on my brain here, too. We'll see what happens. Right. I'm going to get another mid. Yep.
Speaker: Probably a backup OB. Yeah, okay, so I'll pick up Izzy for AZ. Yes, good pick. And then I've got, is this a backup OB? I'm going to have a bit of a gamble. Filippo Mangouni. If that's your backup, that's fine. Yeah. I have zero problem with that. If it's someone you're going to lean on, you might have problems. No.
Speaker: Not with my other three, that's fine. No, that's a good, that's a quality pick for that. I've got one more person in mind here. Yeah, I've not cut any. Well, I mean, again, we talked about this. There's going to be some fucker that comes to the four. Yeah. We don't know who it is. So it's a anyways guess apart from those top five.
Speaker: Alright, this guy's probably gonna start. He did well for me last year too, so I'm not mad about that. Midfield's covered. Now I gotta start filling all the other positions. Nice. Team! Did you play for the blue still? Yeah. Alright, that'll be interesting.
Speaker: Did you take him because you can't pronounce Jacob, Ratoumai, Davuki? Exactly that guy. Good effort. Wow. I'm impressed. Who's a 10? I'm trying to think who's been playing 10 for them. The other one. Say the other one. The Lesser of Talayas.
Speaker: Any plan, yes, Stu, any plan you had is definitely gone now. No question about that. Yeah, that's all I can really manage. I'm like, yep, this looks good. This looks good. The rest of it, it's like, fuck it.
Speaker: That's a good one. Damn it. Had that, had that one in the back of my brain. No, I think it's been, it's just, cause it's such a, this is such a crap shoot year. It's like, good luck figuring out who's got what. Yeah. Nope.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't obviously someone they're very interested in because
Speaker: Oh man, that sounds painful. There goes Manasa Mattelli. All right. See what Duncan's got on the turn here. For North one. All right.
Speaker: the Murray. How do you mind Murray? All right. Oh, damn it. Something just occurred to me that I might need to make a change to.
Speaker: Apparently someone a few times ago was waiting on one of the halfbacks. Line again, that's the one. Someone was waiting on line again to come back around. All right.
Speaker: Duncan, put the line down, man. There we go. Throw us that say, yep, I like that. That's a good one. Well, Mark's trashing you right back there, Ben, so it's okay.
Speaker: One more. Yup. He ain't in your little a, uh, Campbell met the LA address essay in Zarnes. You're waiting for that. Zarnes is what he was waiting on. That's a whole lot of disappointment right there. Yup.
Speaker: I mean, he'll kick some, some long goals, but that's only what three. So it's like, meh, meh. No. What? Is it all right? It's not so bad then. Hmm.
Speaker: Okay. Oh, all right. Yeah. I mean, he's...
Speaker: Hugh Renton, okay. I got Cobus, who goes with Recurro, okay. Interesting.
Speaker: Don't fuck it up, Mark. Or do, it doesn't matter to me. Finao. One of them. What am I supposed to do with that? But you do. But you do.
Speaker: Braden USA. Yeah. We'll see if he finally gets a bear bear run. All right. I need, yeah, probably. Yeah. Yep. Yep. That's the, that's the spot.
Speaker: I do like going public as well, but yeah, someone needed to do it.
Speaker: Ethan Blacketer. All right. How do you doodle -y? That's all I could think of when I donate your Flanders. All I can do is go to that. I'm like, uh -oh. This is how you know I'm born when I was. Simpsons. Um, did I see that Lee Halfpenny hurt himself again? Oh.
Speaker: Uh, it's like four months. Bleh. Just hang them up, dude. Just hang them up. Just hang them up. Do yourself a ton of favors and just hang them up before you break for good. Oh, excuse me. Uh, so Brumby's front row. Okay. You can do worse. You can do worse. All right.
Speaker: Cause I'm going to have fun saying that name over and over again. No. Ladies hurt.
Speaker: No, he was really banged up. He got hurt in provincial play. And so I'm guessing he's still recovering from that. That's my guess.
Speaker: No, no. It was September. So I don't know if that was long, if it's long enough to keep them out now or not, but that's, I'm guessing that's why. Excuse me.
Speaker: We just fell off Tizano Ratzema is a good pick. I Was wondering about that one actually You is that your third loose forward Ben? Oh That's Okay, that'll be I'm guessing that's a risk but we'll see how it goes
Speaker: Let's see. Oh, fuck. Yeah, Reese Patrick's gonna play 10 for Islanders, isn't he? Okay, just put that one together. Good job me. All right, that would at least give you a safety to fall back on for your, for your loose forwards there, because now he's
Speaker: Sleep for those fences, man. There we go. Come on, Stu, you can do it. Don't cock it up. Four, three, two. Ah, there we go. Oh, God, that's a panic pick. That's a panic pick.
Speaker: oh no that's a very panic pic would not recommend well let's see oh there we go that's a good one oh man i don't know if you just saw a shiny object or what but i guess
Speaker: Oh, no. Oh, man. Sorry, dude. Oh, my God. So somebody explain this to me, though. So we have O 'Connor and then we have Harry McLaughlin, Phillips, Lynah and Creighton. Lynah is the last one listed on the Red's fly apps. Why is that? That doesn't make sense to me. I'm right. I don't like that price that much. Hope that's his backup and not his starter.
Speaker: Yeah, like that's, I think that's his backup. I mean, he's obviously hoping that he's not sure which one's going to hit. I think is what it comes down to for G and two or front row. I, I, I mean, I hope not, but if, you know,
Speaker: Yeah. If he actually needs to get healthy, I think he's healthy. I think he's healthy now, but like, man, that dude could not stay healthy for a little life of him. Excuse me. So we got Mark and then Ben.
Speaker: Two, one. Josh, you want it. All right. Decent. Decent. I mean, he's not going to kick, but unless, unless D max out, but. Right. The miracle. All right. Since I took one of their tens, I'm going to take the other as well. Mm -hmm.
Speaker: All right. Well, so yeah, that is my backup. So I guess it means the other guy's going to get the run no matter what. Okay. Well, that's good. I mean, no, but you know, we'll go with it. Uh, let's see. Okay.
Speaker: Is, is Segner the, the German guy from the blues? Is that the one that's the German international? Okay. I'll have to go watch some of the European championship and see if he's, I'm assuming he's playing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like him.
Speaker: Or Cory Evans and Bayland Sullivan. Okay. Don't mess it up. Hail Mary.
Speaker: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one. I like him. And Justin next. So we got Virginia in front row and the rebels front row. You want a file on miracle file on you. Burke Corey Evans spiel and Sullivan Joni Salawa, Reuben love. He's going to probably be like fourth banana, but that's okay.
Speaker: That's okay. Um, I am right. So this guy started well last year and I'm hoping he picks up and gets more playing time with a certain person gone. I think he's probably, probably that last guy in the back row with Jose and Flanders.
Speaker: Yeah, well, we're on dark snow territory. We got four picks left. I think everybody's got at least one starter in the spot that they need. So sans lock, sans lock. I don't know what locks I would pick at this point. Honestly, like there's nobody that jumps out that says, yeah, that's totally who I need on my team this year. Pupa.
Speaker: Michael's playing sevens, isn't he? Thought I saw that head of hair at the sevens tournament. There we go. Let's see.
Speaker: I I was shocked that I Really played 10 William have really played 10 so much of the World Cup Feel like a bit of a whiff Charlie I Don't know I thought what
Speaker: Yeah, he's not as Yeah, not the not the cross -eyed there Not the cross -eyed not the cross eyes here How do I feel like the draft is ending early
Speaker: Is it or am I losing? Damn. See if he plays. See if he plays. I mean, he probably will, but it's just a matter of how much, you know.
Speaker: Yeah, definitely going no lock for this. Mirror, mirror. Yeah, there's nobody to like jump. There's no way it says like, yeah, I must pick this lock. Like sometimes there is, but most of the time there isn't. Stu, you bugger. Apparently Mark has been sniped. Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, Miracle's probably the better player right now, so. Yeah. Low ceiling, low floor, low ceiling, high floor, but like, I mean, consistency, nothing else.
Speaker: Jake Gordon, is he gonna be healthy? Is he actually healthy?
Speaker: Okay He's been having some concussion setbacks Yeah, he was gonna play for too long over World Cup time, but had a couple of issues. So hopefully he's okay To provide you. All right. That's fine that's that might be the Say that might be the lock to pick but other than that
Speaker: Yeah, none of those guys are going to blow my skirt up, that's for sure. Yes, I'm insinuating I have a skirt. Yeah. Didn't they pick up another nine? I thought.
Speaker: Oh, unfortunately, you know what people tend to like have this hoodoo about a player like monitor and think he's amazing. So they're going to be like, Oh yeah, we're gonna play him. It's like, why are you playing him? You have another guy that's way better. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's, he's dead back up. All right.
Speaker: Don't miss one out there. All right. There's that. I got my namesake. All right. Yeah. I mean, not bad, not bad. Grab just in case.
Speaker: That ain't happening. So you could really go with trash if you wanted to, but yep. Justin mama, the other proctologist,
Speaker: Yes, you are. So I took my proctor and Justin went Momo. He took him and then apparently he has sniped someone's too, was very interested in. Justin does his homework. This is his game, so everybody definitely cover.
Speaker: Oh, fuck's sake. Let's start game planning right now. Pink slips. That's up to Justin to set up. I'm into it though. Yeah. If Stu hasn't played one yet, then he's going to be in for a fucking welding. That's for sure. Yeah. At this point, are you kidding me? Throw a dart. There you go. Throw that dart, man.
Speaker: The fuck you got, what the fuck you got otherwise, you know? We got two more, we got two more picks to fill out, like, what are we, what are you, what are you gonna miss? What are we even doing here, dude? I'm so sad that it took me so long to do that. Hi, Wayne!
Speaker: I'm so disappointed in myself. It took me that long to do that while Wayne Barnes is refereeing. Like, come on, man. What is wrong with me? I'm so disappointed in myself. Oh, come on. Jared, you suck sometimes. I said sometimes. Oh, excuse me. Oh, what am I doing? I know what I'm doing. Hurry up and roast.
Speaker: Yes, you are. You have business to attend to, sir. Have fun. Yeah, I hope you got the bag packed, man. You're gonna be there for a bit.
Speaker: Who's watching Rocky? Your mom? Okay. That's good. Parents are that way. Mine have been angsty to the nines. They're stressing for the both of us, I think. Between my mother and her and her parents, good God. She's having all the fun for you.
Speaker: I didn't see that coming from Justin. Speaking of going on labor, Stu, he says, ah, damn it, Justin. Justin says, bet you my wife says that too when she goes into labor. Fumaki? Funaki. Harry Plummer. Oh, he's alive. That's interesting. Yeah.
Speaker: Momo proc, Matt Proctor, not Billy, Jeremiah Murray, Plummer, and Funaki, last five. I mean, at this spot, it's like, the fuck am I losing?
Speaker: I mean a little bit, that's fine. I'm not going to, I'm not counting on him getting more than like eight to nine points a game. Like he's a midfielder and he's not the same guy he once was. So yeah, if I wanted more of them, we would have to be playing Fox scoring and we ain't doing that. So I know what, I know what I got there. Well aware.
Speaker: Then who knows, maybe he has a fucking worldie of a day sometime when I play him and it's like, yeah, all right.
Speaker: The other mish. Well, you're late. You're a little late now. And then you go. Yeah, your last pick I can tell you is going to be somebody funny, so don't worry about it. No. Even if I could, yeah, it's going to be whoever
Speaker: Yeah, you are going to end up with a lock dude. So it's going to be either Williams or Barrett or maybe Calpo. If those two are picked by chance, by chance. Well, you say you got a choice then there goes, well, there you go. Scott Barrett, Isaac Henry's in there. D 'Angelo. So D 'Angelo, Isaac Henry. Okay. Lula, Isaac Henry, Scott Barrett.
Speaker: Very interesting. Hmm, I wouldn't forget here. Alright Stu, you can do it. Even though Justin spoiled his party and picked who he was going for. At least once. I'm bouncing.
Speaker: We're waiting on Stu. There goes that. All right. How to Filo. All right. And then you got Cobus and Mark and Ben's making a pick and he's going to be young. Yeah. If you haven't figured it out, folks, this is the only pod we're doing this week.
Speaker: Miraculously. Yeah, it's, it's a makeup week. No, cause it's only, it's only one game. It's a makeup game that when, um, sale had issues with the ground. Yep.
Speaker: Come on, we can... Yeah. Say, if I told you I didn't plan this, would you believe me? Cobus. All right. Yeah. Fuck you, Cobus. God damn it. God damn it. I had that in my brain and I was hoping that I would run my luck just a little bit to get him. Fuck every duck.
Speaker: Okay. Yeah. That'll be interesting. And K bye. See you, Ben. Godspeed, buddy. All of two picks. Um, okay. So let's see. We got, Oh, I hate all this by the way, but yeah. Um,
Speaker: So I guess we'll go with regard what I assume it'll be regards back up because it won't be TJ. He's mostly broken and done. So I'll go with, I'll go with Judd just on the options that I need that. And then I'm gonna make a random picker somewhere else. Let's see. All right. Nope. Nope. Okay.
Speaker: Charlie kale. Okay. That's interesting. That's your, yeah, that's your, your second row there. Yeah. Uh, let's see. No, there's, there's nothing that makes you, makes you dance by any means whatsoever. Um.
Speaker: I mean, I guess Will Harris isn't a bad idea because he's probably going to play for force. It's just a matter of what kind of team or the force going to be. So I'll go with it, but let's see what happens. Red's front row, actually, I think is an interesting one that's still sitting there. So if anybody's missing one, yeah, they got some good players.
Speaker: Michael, let's say who's anybody missing a front row? I think everybody's got one. Yeah, that's 10 did to there. Yeah, no, you could do worse. Let's go with this front row. He went with rebels from now. Oh yeah, that's fair enough. Who's that? Yeah, see if you actually.
Speaker: I mean, if he plays, he'll be great. If he gets consistent playing time and stays healthy, he'll be great. But he'll play. Yeah. It's him and, it's him and Aidan Morgan. I don't know which one. Yeah. So Justin's giving Ben and Ben Duncan and, uh,
Speaker: And Mark props and he's giving you, he's just giving you a bit of stick. Cause yeah. All right. And Ben's going to count down and three and two and one. And it was yet Williams as we, as we predicted, as we accurately predicted. Yeah. I mean, Jesus. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, I saw that one. I was like, uh, what? Okay. Oh, dude, he is an old man. Oh, talk about old dudes. I thought you like, you think Matt Proctor is old. Like this dude's beat up. Like he's seen some things. And I mean, TJ is probably not gonna play much this year. I don't, I don't see how he does. Honestly. I love him and we'll never forget him, but nope.
Speaker: Yeah. Ah, no, that's the worst. They figured it out. Damn it. Karen's too. Yeah, I'll be interested to see who's playing in the back row for the Blues alongside. So to to and probably. Yeah, he needs he needs to be fit.
Speaker: Lucky Swinton's a red card waiting to happen. Oh God. No, no. I mean, there'll be a dart throw that works well, but that's it. Let's see. Jonah low. Oh God. Yeah, that's, that's not, nope, not the same, not the same. Yeah. Take Amara. No.
Speaker: Apparently he's still on him. If you're getting sniped at that level, I mean, I was thinking nothing, but still, damn. Okay then. Let's go. All right. Come on, Stu, make it worth it. Oh yeah, and then we gotta look at matchups.
Speaker: week one matchups right off the wall. I know seems to be a thing. Here we go. Come on. Come on. We can do it. Let's go still. I know you had your pick snipe, but like,
Speaker: It's like, it's a total dart throw like any guy will do. This is the one where you can go, whoever, and just go for it. Tom lineup. Okay. Okay.
Speaker: Mm -hmm Do they well, like I said, he was like the I think he was the fourth one listed out of the red reds fly house I don't Is there something going on there that we don't know about? O 'Connor yeah Let's see try and keep an eye out for mr. Irrelevant here. Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Go for it. You can do it big money. No, I'm he's no I'm he's
Speaker: 45 seconds. Don't, don't use the whole thing, please Duncan. The wine's gotten to you finally, in which case, you know, I assume he's, I'm assuming he's drinking wine cause he's, let's say he was, cause that'd be a Mr. Irrelevant right there.
Speaker: Yes, he did. Saw that. I was like, Oh, that's not going to work. Well, come on. Oh, Mary Wilson. Well, that's not, that's not bad. That's he, he'll probably get time. So, all right. Well, what do we got here? Do, do, do, do to the league match ups.
Speaker: Uh, I got Duncan week one. Okay. Justin. So it'll be Ben and Cobus. It'll be Stu and Mark, George and Justin, myself and Duncan. Woo hoo. All right. So we got a couple of weeks for that one to kick in, but that's okay. Cool. All right. That's fun. Awesome. Good stuff. As always, George, thanks for coming on buddy. All right.
