Live Draft with George and Division Changes
00:00:31
Jarrod Dyke
yeah right All right, friends, we are doing live drafting as we traditionally do, especially when it comes to FRD and super rugby. George is joining me. There's currently no Ben because Ben's been stuck in division two this year.
00:00:44
Jarrod Dyke
So
00:00:45
George
Yeah, it's a bit awkward. Let's not talk about Ben's situation. Stuck in D2.
00:00:52
Jarrod Dyke
yeah maybe he needs to be talked about more.
00:00:54
Jarrod Dyke
I don't know. It depends on him, I guess.
00:00:54
George
Tough times, tough times, but he can, he can join us and and give us some shit in terms of our picks and heckle us.
00:01:00
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I'm sure he will.
00:01:03
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, we're a whole 20 seconds away from this thing.
00:01:04
George
So I've just, let's
00:01:06
Jarrod Dyke
Oh,
Draft Duration and Team Sizes
00:01:07
George
do this.
00:01:07
Jarrod Dyke
here we go.
00:01:07
George
So I've, I've literally just finished a two and a half hour draft.
00:01:11
Jarrod Dyke
Was that a slow draft?
00:01:13
George
No, well it was slow draft, but everyone was taking the full amount.
00:01:17
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, I guess they held.
00:01:17
George
It was 15 man teams. It was an epic.
00:01:22
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, is it Fox scoring?
00:01:24
George
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:25
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, that yeah, those take they take a long, long time.
00:01:27
George
Yeah, they really do.
00:01:29
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah.
00:01:29
George
Okay.
00:01:30
Jarrod Dyke
Alex might be late because he's just getting in from his flight.
00:01:33
George
Oh man, is that... is that
00:01:34
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, there he is. There he is. He's out. He's in now.
00:01:37
Jarrod Dyke
He was.
00:01:37
George
Who's dead ants?
00:01:37
George
Oh, there he is.
00:01:38
Jarrod Dyke
That's Alex.
00:01:39
George
That's Alex. All right. So we're on Yippee Tri-Yay Stu first up.
00:01:40
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:01:45
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, man. I am ill prepared for this. This will be interesting.
00:01:51
George
Well, I've done, this is, i've I'm in four leagues and this is my last draft, but I, I mean, that's too much.
00:01:55
Jarrod Dyke
Holy shit.
00:01:58
George
That's too much. Used to be okay, but these days I can't, I can't handle that many leagues.
00:02:02
Jarrod Dyke
So you got, so you got, uh, important things otherwise, don't you?
00:02:06
George
Yeah, yeah, hear yeah, exactly.
Rugby Player Performance and Injuries
00:02:09
Jarrod Dyke
All right. Well, and ke wow. Okay. Interesting. I don't hate it. Cam Ruggard.
00:02:14
George
I just, you know, he's back off that knee injury.
00:02:18
Jarrod Dyke
He is, he is, but, you know, I mean, we know scrum halves are one of the hardest positions to find good scorers at.
00:02:21
George
I will, I will take this.
00:02:26
George
True.
00:02:28
Jarrod Dyke
So if you have a really good scoring one, which he usually is.
00:02:34
Jarrod Dyke
As long as fucking James Dolman stays out his fucking way.
00:02:34
George
Right.
00:02:37
George
James Dolman. Oh my God, that guy.
00:02:42
Jarrod Dyke
Wasn't particularly good this morning.
00:02:44
George
No. And he wasn't great last week either.
00:02:47
Jarrod Dyke
No, and he was just a touchy last week.
00:02:49
George
Yeah.
00:02:51
Jarrod Dyke
ah There's DMACC, okay.
00:02:52
George
Right. Okay. So DMACC, DMACC's gone.
00:02:52
Jarrod Dyke
Normal services resumed.
00:02:56
George
Right. Well, I'm not going to do anything controversial. Marta Layer is my guy.
00:03:01
Jarrod Dyke
That's a good one. That's a good one.
00:03:04
George
So, that's Roy Gard, Talair and Dmak gone.
00:03:09
Jarrod Dyke
It goes to that.
00:03:14
George
Yeah, Will Jordan, nothing.
00:03:15
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that nothing there, nothing crazy there. Well, makes my makes my life easy.
00:03:19
George
So, you're on, Massey.
00:03:21
Jarrod Dyke
Except for Massey, it is.
Draft Strategies and Player Roles
00:03:24
Jarrod Dyke
Again, another ah it's midfields are so hard to find good scores as well.
00:03:24
George
So I was...
00:03:27
George
Well, quite.
00:03:27
Jarrod Dyke
So that's ballsy.
00:03:29
George
So I was in a draft yesterday and Suwalihi was the first pick overall.
00:03:36
George
his palsy I mean I just I don't know much about him obviously I saw him play in the autumn um but that's that's exactly exactly I mean do they even know what position he's gonna play um yeah
00:03:42
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Is he just, an is he just a name or is he actually going to be fancy productive?
00:03:51
Jarrod Dyke
they They seem to be convinced midfield in the wallaby seam at least. So, but depending on the skill set, maybe fullback or one of those wings as well. Can get, he can get up there. Like that was one thing I noticed in the autumn, like guy can jump.
00:04:11
Jarrod Dyke
So might, might do good at like full back, depending on what his boot kicking is like.
00:04:12
George
Yeah, that's true.
00:04:17
Jarrod Dyke
So never know.
00:04:17
George
Well, a lot of people are referring to him like the second coming of his evil out, but, um, yeah, let's keep, well, let's let's keep it to the rugby.
00:04:22
Jarrod Dyke
Let's keep that to a minimum, shall we? At least not as far as. Yeah. Yeah. If he's the second coming of him and only in the rugby sense, I'm all for it because he was a very talented individual.
00:04:33
Jarrod Dyke
He's just a terrible person.
00:04:34
George
Yeah, exactly.
00:04:37
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Justin's gone with.
00:04:39
George
So surely he, there he goes. There he goes.
00:04:45
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, there he goes, okay, I mean that's far enough
Complexity of Drafting During Bye Weeks
00:04:54
George
Right, so who have we got next? so Ah, so of course it's eight. Again, I've been doing a lot of 10 man leagues recently. Eight man league. Oh, it really is.
00:04:54
Jarrod Dyke
No Yeah tenon this is tough with the will only Because there's only nine teams, right?
00:05:05
George
Yeah.
00:05:07
George
Well, I've been deliberately trying to avoid putting all my eggs in the same basket, the team, because of the buys as well.
00:05:13
Jarrod Dyke
Mm hmm.
00:05:14
Jarrod Dyke
Absolutely.
00:05:14
George
It's going to be really tough.
00:05:15
Jarrod Dyke
Be, be versatile in your picks.
00:05:15
George
there Yeah, exactly.
00:05:17
George
I mean, there is, there are weeks where three teams are on a buy and that's just going to be absolute chaos.
00:05:17
Jarrod Dyke
All right.
00:05:21
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, that's going to be chaos. There's definitely going to be guys playing sands, uh, since front rows and probably missing out like a halfback or something like that.
00:05:28
George
Yep. Right. That's Savoog Rees gone. How did you get all? Oh, you're on. You're on.
00:05:39
Jarrod Dyke
There we go. Um, Tom, it's good to pick Tom, right? All right. I, man.
00:05:52
Jarrod Dyke
Someone will be here coming back around. I want him.
00:05:55
Jarrod Dyke
Cory tool. I need to, yeah, I have made mistakes in the past of not getting at least one high end outside back. And I think this is like the, probably we're getting to the edge of that.
00:05:55
George
Yep.
00:06:06
Jarrod Dyke
So I just, you know, There's probably some other good ones. Like I think Harry Godfrey is going to be really good this year. Andrew Kellaway is obviously very good, but yeah.
00:06:06
George
Yup.
00:06:12
George
He is, yup.
00:06:15
Jarrod Dyke
And there's all kinds of fun things, but no, I would rather have that.
00:06:22
George
Yeah, Golf 3's quite high up on my rankings.
00:06:26
George
Bodie Barrett, okay.
00:06:28
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Is Penthouse going to be that good for the force this year?
00:06:34
George
Well, the the thing is, he's just a reliable kicker, isn't he? um There are not many other good options, but I think I'm going to wait until my next one for a fly half.
00:06:39
Jarrod Dyke
That's all you can hope.
00:06:44
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, ah there there are other there are options I like.
00:06:47
George
Yep.
00:06:49
Jarrod Dyke
I think it's going to be a bit of a hope and a prayer when it comes to like the hurricane. So good luck figuring out what that situation is going to be like.
00:06:56
Jarrod Dyke
But yeah, there
00:06:56
George
Right.
00:06:58
George
I'm just going to do it. ay surveyor
00:07:02
Jarrod Dyke
was no reason to mess around with that. He'll be the guy on that team too.
00:07:06
George
Exactly, exactly.
00:07:06
Jarrod Dyke
so
00:07:08
George
He's not going to miss a minute unless he gets injured. Touch wood.
00:07:11
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, apart from apart from
Player Safety and Concussions in Rugby
00:07:13
Jarrod Dyke
all blacks. Ratch all likes rest.
00:07:14
George
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:15
Jarrod Dyke
That's about it so um How did I do I think my super routine kind of fell apart because I had fin ye Yep
00:07:17
George
So Kelleway, we are ripping through this. this is um This is very welcome off my draft earlier on. How did you get on with the Six Nations fantasy earlier on?
00:07:35
George
Oh shit, that was horrible. That double concussion.
00:07:39
Jarrod Dyke
Although they were saying, oh, Finn's can i mean coming back. I was like, bullshit.
00:07:42
George
No, he was. Yeah, exactly.
00:07:43
Jarrod Dyke
i don't I don't believe that for a second.
00:07:44
George
That's the first thing I said. No chance. And he set his jacket on.
00:07:47
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no.
00:07:48
George
Yeah. He's not going back out. That doesn't look like a man.
00:07:50
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, and then they brought him back to the locker room.
00:07:51
George
he Yeah.
00:07:52
Jarrod Dyke
I was like, nevermind.
00:07:54
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no, no, no.
00:07:55
George
But he he did, um, he passed his HIA, but they did the right thing and said, no.
00:07:59
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm.
00:08:01
Jarrod Dyke
Kept him out.
00:08:02
Jarrod Dyke
They're like, no, you're you need to stay there. Yeah, that killed me. And I had pentagast on my bench. Damn it.
00:08:02
George
Yeah.
00:08:10
George
o he looked classy today yeah I've seen nothing confirmed but it's
00:08:10
Jarrod Dyke
But that would have been a good one. Yep. He's a young guy. He's going to have bad games. He's going to have great games. It's just how it is. But you live with the growing pains. It's a 2-2 out. This might be his last season down there now. It's the rumor at least. that No, I haven't either. But I suspect he's trying to find his way out of there.
00:08:40
Jarrod Dyke
whether it's to England or France, maybe to one of the URC teams.
00:08:49
George
e na i set to right
00:08:51
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:08:54
George
on
00:08:57
Jarrod Dyke
All right.
00:09:02
George
so I am going to do a fly half next
00:09:07
Jarrod Dyke
OK, yeah.
00:09:07
George
really slim it's really slim picking so yeah yeah Crusader situation is the one ah right so it's me Donaldson or point
00:09:09
Jarrod Dyke
Well, you said you've got you've got a few choices and then it's kind of going to go tumbling down. There's teams that ah that like I'm really worried about that you can like take a flyer on later, but like the hurricane situation, the Crusader situation.
00:09:28
Jarrod Dyke
Do you have any Brumby's or force players already?
00:09:34
George
No, Moana and Blues.
00:09:36
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, that might be some meters there.
00:09:37
George
I'm just going to take Donaldson because sometimes he goes to 15 so he might get those meters as well. Yeah.
00:09:42
Jarrod Dyke
Yep, that's true. Cheap, easy meters.
00:09:45
George
Donaldson it is.
00:09:47
Jarrod Dyke
All right, and there we go. A little CO gone right afterwards.
00:09:50
George
Yeah.
00:09:53
George
Yeah. So the Crusaders had a friendly the other day. James O'Connor was playing at 10 and apparently he looked really good.
00:10:00
Jarrod Dyke
Interesting.
00:10:02
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. I mean, he is a good player.
00:10:03
George
Um,
00:10:06
Jarrod Dyke
He's had some ups and downs in his career overall. He really has, but I think i like him a lot. I just think he needs...
00:10:06
George
yeah he's yeah want the blood Kamara in any case just give them some ah canes canes from Rogue on yeah fair enough yeah
00:10:17
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, I don't doubt it. I figured that would happen.
00:10:23
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. um Well, before because I have other choices and positions I want, I'm gonna do this now and take the Blue's Front row before I lose out on it.
00:10:39
Jarrod Dyke
That's another position I could probably wait on a few others and still come out and come good.
00:10:47
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, kill. Kill a month, I hope is going to have a better year for the draw. I think he also was hurt last year. So that's something to remember. But now the the other young kid that's there is kind of nipping at his heels because he had a lot of time to play with in that position last year.
00:11:03
George
Yeah.
00:11:05
Jarrod Dyke
Grant, he had his own like big old bumps, but still pretty good. Still pretty good.
00:11:15
George
He was playing at 12.
00:11:17
Jarrod Dyke
He needs to have a better season.
00:11:18
George
He was playing at 12 last week.
00:11:20
Jarrod Dyke
I saw that. Yeah. He needs to have a better year.
00:11:23
Jarrod Dyke
He was not particularly amazing at the hounders last year.
00:11:23
George
Yep.
00:11:26
George
All right, say Gilbert.
00:11:37
Jarrod Dyke
ah Justin seems to have a yeah have an issue with Cobus Getting sniped left right in center Is he that's a big one Yeah, they can't they can't decide at the hollanders what his best position is so I
00:11:48
George
Justin loves Sam Gilbert. eight Gilbert is a bit of a cheat code, because he's going to be playing at full back, I think. Yep.
00:12:02
George
No.
00:12:05
Jarrod Dyke
Good and bad, good bad for him, good for people that are playing in fantasy.
00:12:08
George
Okay, McCreates.
00:12:14
Jarrod Dyke
I don't think this guy's making it back around to me, and I really want a decent 10, so I'm gonna take Tom Lina.
00:12:19
George
yep good choice
00:12:22
Jarrod Dyke
I don't think he's making it back around, there's lots of options otherwise. I'm not taking the chance on Kamara.
00:12:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I really like Peach, but I just, yeah. I have options elsewhere and not many at fly half, like we were talking about. So yeah, Jackson, go ahead and bash up in fricking already the wrecking ball.
00:12:47
George
gone. So it's time for me to take Godfrey.
00:12:52
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, it's probably the my one regret on that one, but that's all right.
00:12:55
George
Now's the time.
00:12:55
Jarrod Dyke
I love with it.
00:12:58
George
Okay.
00:12:58
Jarrod Dyke
I really liked what he played last year with a few times he played.
00:13:00
George
Yeah.
00:13:01
Jarrod Dyke
He was great.
00:13:01
George
Yeah.
00:13:03
Jarrod Dyke
So he'll get lots of time this year. Cause he's. ah There's a little more room out there, especially sans Jordy.
00:13:08
George
Yeah, exactly. There's, there's, exactly. There's so many options now opening up for the new kids.
00:13:16
George
The kai's gone. The junkyard dog's gone.
00:13:18
Jarrod Dyke
I liked, I liked him a lot. Yep. Tim Ryan. I liked both those guys real good last year. Look, I've made a huge immediate impact on all black shirts too.
00:13:28
Jarrod Dyke
So did that in the fall.
00:13:28
George
Yeah.
00:13:29
George
Oh, he's the head of a carrier.
00:13:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Understatement.
00:13:36
George
Naraki's gone.
00:13:39
Jarrod Dyke
did Yeah. The wrecking ball. um
00:13:45
George
So the thing about the junkyard dog, Tim Ryan, is the reds have suddenly got tons and tons of options in their back three.
00:13:53
Jarrod Dyke
Because of the rebels going, going defunct.
00:13:55
George
Yeah, exactly.
00:13:55
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Yep. There wasn't really to his benefit.
00:13:58
George
They got heck.
00:13:58
Jarrod Dyke
Could still work out fine, but.
00:14:00
George
Yeah. Well, they picked up Harry Murray from um Crusaders as well.
00:14:04
Jarrod Dyke
Crusaders saw that. Mm hmm.
00:14:06
George
So they got a ton of options.
00:14:07
Jarrod Dyke
It's a big one as well.
00:14:10
George
Right. So I'm currently sat on two OBs, one fly half on these forwards.
00:14:20
Jarrod Dyke
I don't think about who's playing midfield for you, bud.
00:14:24
George
yeah <unk> I've been leaving this late for every pretty much every draft I've done.
00:14:33
Jarrod Dyke
Come on.
00:14:36
George
And he did it.
00:14:36
Jarrod Dyke
You can do it. Come on, Stu. You can do it. I believe in you. There we go.
00:14:42
Jarrod Dyke
Billy Proctor. Okay. Good pick.
00:14:43
George
OK.
00:14:45
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. I like him. I like him a lot. I wish he had gotten more time. Yeah. I'll watch shirt, but it's hard to Unjam that midfield.
00:14:55
George
oh There are really not many good midfield options For
00:14:58
Jarrod Dyke
No, that's why I was glad I grabbed Massey.
00:15:02
George
God Yes, he is and he should be and he should be playing Well, they're cuz last year they have Rona and poi hippie.
00:15:03
Jarrod Dyke
Is Quinn to Pyre healthy?
00:15:08
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:15:10
Jarrod Dyke
Good.
00:15:14
George
We're playing a fair bit as well come But I think it'll be Quinn and ALB the problem is I mean they're just both made of glass Sooner or later they will have those injuries
00:15:16
Jarrod Dyke
I'll be next to them, yep.
00:15:23
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, seems seems to be. Well, I mean, two pies was that nasty injury that he picked up from fucking Swain.
00:15:28
George
Yeah.
00:15:32
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that wasn't his fault.
00:15:33
George
My yosie, good shout.
00:15:35
Jarrod Dyke
That's a good one. I had my eyeballs on him. Guess not.
00:15:40
George
Right. I am going to actually pick up a scrum half because there's not many left.
00:15:45
Jarrod Dyke
No, there aren't.
00:15:46
George
And I loved this guy at the end of last season. And finally the Crusaders have gotten attacking scrum half.
00:15:53
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah. Yep.
00:15:55
George
ah he was He was brilliant.
00:15:55
Jarrod Dyke
Health him.
00:15:56
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. No, I like that one. Let's that was a good one. Good say good. They've I mean, they've had guys there for so long that just don't attack.
00:15:57
George
So, you know, bagging him.
00:16:06
George
Yeah. No.
00:16:08
Jarrod Dyke
So nice to see them have that now.
00:16:09
George
Yeah, exactly. Well, there's two guys, met Mitchell Drummond, and who was the other one? Just two.
00:16:14
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah, same same person.
00:16:16
Jarrod Dyke
Basically, I can't remember who else.
00:16:16
George
Basically the same.
00:16:17
George
They were clones of each other, weren't they?
00:16:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. All right. It'll be as gone. All right. I don't love any of that. So I'm gonna take a page out of your book, Sarah, and I'm going Cortez Ratima.
00:16:34
George
Good choice. Yeah. I think it's basically him and then Tate and that's pretty much Jake, Jake Gordon and Lamanna.
00:16:40
Jarrod Dyke
That's maybe Lamani.
00:16:43
George
Yeah. Gordon occasionally has his.
00:16:43
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Oh, I like Jake Gordon now and again, but again, they're not as consistent.
00:16:45
George
Yeah.
00:16:47
Jarrod Dyke
Like I think we've got pretty much almost consistent ones off the board at this point.
00:16:50
George
Yeah. All right. So ALB is gone.
00:17:02
Jarrod Dyke
fluke back into the midfield. Hey, what do they have him? They vote. I guess he's always been there.
00:17:06
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:17:07
George
Yeah.
00:17:08
George
Dancunu.
00:17:09
Jarrod Dyke
Maybe I'm making I'm making something else on my head. I guess that's all right.
00:17:12
George
Tate. Yeah.
00:17:17
George
Scrum holes are going.
00:17:20
Jarrod Dyke
Indeed.
00:17:23
Jarrod Dyke
That can do off as well. Yep.
00:17:28
Jarrod Dyke
There goes that. Yeah, now the outside backs are going to be solid, but not amazing.
00:17:35
George
Yeah.
00:17:37
Jarrod Dyke
Like I don't.
00:17:42
Jarrod Dyke
There's a couple still that are well hidden in this whole thing. But there's a couple also that are just like. Just a guy.
00:17:53
George
Yeah, no, there's still value there.
Adjustments for Bye Weeks and Schedules
00:17:56
George
Right. Two pies gone.

Jarrod Dyke

George
So week one by is the reds.

Jarrod Dyke
Okay, good to know.
00:18:13
George
So I need to make sure if I've got any reds on it back up to them as well.
00:18:16
Jarrod Dyke
Shit, I need to back up for a timeline.
00:18:19
George
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:19
Jarrod Dyke
Damn it, I just thought of that. Wasn't using my brain.
00:18:26
George

Jarrod Dyke
All right, now we're at just go with what feels good. So we're gonna go with that. Sorry, England fans. Max Jorgensen.

00:18:59
Jarrod Dyke

Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, well how much time is he gonna get I guess I'll get a little bit more but damn Oh Mark ah just sniped to your your your idea
00:19:23
George
Oh Mark, you did me! Right, well I'm going to state the red card. Magnet, Hunter, Pice, Army.
00:19:31
Jarrod Dyke
oh Yeah, I know feast or famine with that guy Not a whole lot else Mm-hmm and here I can hear it Yeah, you'll need a need to find a couple of backup ideas on that one
00:19:40
George
That's really annoying. Okay. Right, at least I've got one mid. And obviously he's a red mid, so I need more.
00:19:55
George
Yeah. Right, dead ants.
00:20:04
Jarrod Dyke
That's Alex.
00:20:08
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Um, this point we're in what? Round five or so six or seven, probably here.
00:20:16
George
Yeah, this is, so so I've done six.
00:20:17
Jarrod Dyke
One, two, three.
00:20:19
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. So yeah. Yeah. and going Going back into seven top guys on the board. lent Darby Lancaster. Not sure he'll get taken anytime soon. Camera. Jock Campbell, Red's front row, Todd's front row, Ethan Blacketer.
00:20:20
George
So yeah, we're at the end of end of the sixth round.
00:20:33
Jarrod Dyke
I don't know why he's that high. Um, Crusaders front row, Chiefs front row, Charlie K.L. Fiyaki. Was there the best guys available?
00:20:41
George
Yeah.
00:20:42
Jarrod Dyke
Joe Sessay just went off the board.
00:20:44
George
So front rows, we've got Reds, they've got Fesler, haven't they? They don't have Tupu anymore.
00:20:53
Jarrod Dyke
Nope.
00:20:54
George
He's gone to Boratas, isn't he?
00:20:55
Jarrod Dyke
I think so.
00:20:59
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Well, because he was with he was with the rebels. I'm pretty sure it wasn't he?
00:20:59
George
Crusaders, they've got Cody Taylor.
00:21:03
George
A Rebs, yeah.
00:21:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:21:05
Jarrod Dyke
And so obviously that made him free once they went under.
00:21:05
George
Was he the Rebs last season?
00:21:08
George
Cody Taylor's injured at the moment.
00:21:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:21:14
George
I got Tamatai Williams as well.
00:21:16
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, this does still have Bauer.
00:21:19
George
Yep.
00:21:19
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:21:21
Jarrod Dyke
Could do worse.
00:21:21
George
Yeah, maybe it is the Crusaders front row then.
00:21:25
Jarrod Dyke
Could do worse. Yeah, I mean, Taylor, but the What's his face? Bell, he did a pretty good job last year when when Taylor was out.
00:21:29
George
Yeah, yeah, he did. Yeah.
00:21:31
Jarrod Dyke
So don't totally check them to the side. They're not one of the top three by any means whatsoever, but they're still good value.
00:21:36
George
Wow. I think it's Red's front row last season, 17 tries in 14 games.
00:21:44
Jarrod Dyke
That's absurd.
00:21:45
George
Yeah it's gonna have to be then. Matt Faceler. Alright so that's two reds I've got now.
00:21:53
Jarrod Dyke
All right.
00:21:57
Jarrod Dyke
Now you need to find an answer.
00:21:59
George
I'm not gonna get a backup front row.
00:22:01
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, oh, I mean, back up from row. Yeah, no.
00:22:05
George
But uh, yeah. I mean with eight people in our league, should be alright.
00:22:13
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, you might be able to nick the ninth team if you need to, but.
00:22:16
George
I'll pick some binges off the, uh, off the waiver wire.
00:22:20
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, indeed, indeed, indeed.
00:22:23
Jarrod Dyke
All right, I need to adjust my loose forward issues here. Because I haven't got any.
00:22:23
George
Right.
00:22:28
George
Nothing at all.
00:22:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, leave a move. That's that's one that I was disappointed with last year. He didn't do as much as he as he could have.
00:22:35
George
Yeah. Oh, he had a shocker.
00:22:37
Jarrod Dyke
After everyone had him paying to make the all blacks last last year and everything and really just laid a big fat egg.
00:22:38
George
He had a terrible year. Yeah.
00:22:42
George
yeah
00:22:45
George
He was so he was use a first round pick for most people last year.
00:22:49
Jarrod Dyke
Last year, I remember that. Yep. All right.
00:22:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I remember that i was kind of disappointing, honestly.
00:22:58
George
Charlie Kale.
00:22:58
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, fuck you, Duncan.
00:23:01
George
But again, he's he was great last year.
00:23:02
Jarrod Dyke
Just snipe me.
00:23:04
George
He was he was a lock, wasn't he? He was in the game as a lock as well, which
00:23:07
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's true. Actually, maybe that's why I have it in my head. All right.
00:23:11
George
i
00:23:11
Jarrod Dyke
I like this guy a lot. So I'm gonna take him like a Gleason.
00:23:14
George
Good choice. I was looking, o and I was thinking Gleason's probably your best option there.
00:23:15
Jarrod Dyke
And then
00:23:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, and then I'm going to go with Yeah, I'll get burned on all black rest, but I think I know I'm gonna go with Let's see do I have yeah, that's the pic okay
00:23:40
George
Okay.
00:23:45
George
Right, next I'm gonna get my third OB.
00:23:49
George
Rico, he had a stinker last year.
00:23:53
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm Yep agreed Was not amazing Was not amazing Hmm Yeah, I think he's good that's that's uh, okay, it's interesting pick not against it
00:23:55
George
Tar's front rope.
00:24:04
George
How the mighty have fallen. Such a good fantasy option. Caleb Tangitao.
00:24:21
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, yeah if that's your third choice. That's actually pretty good.
00:24:25
George
No.
00:24:26
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's your third option. That's pretty solid.
00:24:36
Jarrod Dyke
Alright.
00:24:39
Jarrod Dyke
And there goes that OK problem solved with this forward.
00:24:43
Jarrod Dyke
No longer need to need that, yeah.
00:24:43
George
um Done.
00:24:45
George
Job done.
00:24:49
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, just. I was, I also was configuring now, but to your point about making sure you don't have too many area ratama.
00:24:57
George
Yep.
00:24:57
Jarrod Dyke
Um, I'm already gonna be a little bit tied up with the toss because I have two of them. And I do have the bullets front row, but I can live without them. It's more about replacing the the loose forward on the bi-week.
00:25:08
George
Yeah, exactly.
00:25:09
Jarrod Dyke
That'll be, they'll annoy me. So.
00:25:16
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I'd rather deal with not a front row and then deal with not a not a halfback.
00:25:22
George
Yeah, totally. Alright, so red, red's the only team I've got two of at the moment.
Technical Difficulties and Live Draft Experiences
00:25:29
Jarrod Dyke
and You're gonna miss out on this week.
00:25:31
George
Yep.
00:25:33
Jarrod Dyke
About that.
00:25:34
George
So I might need another mid already.
00:25:37
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, you do. All right, what we got here.
00:25:45
George
Chief's front row.
00:25:46
Jarrod Dyke
Mm hmm.
00:25:47
George
oh
00:25:48
Jarrod Dyke
Not bad.
00:25:48
George
Okay. So my question it failed is. Midfielders.
00:26:03
George
It's really, I'm thinking about people are going to be regular stars because i I like Riley Higgins, but I don't think he's going to be starting.
00:26:09
Jarrod Dyke
No, well.
00:26:10
George
Oh, it's probably going to be a super boring one, but Hamish Stewart.
00:26:16
Jarrod Dyke
Mm. Can kick when called upon as well.
00:26:18
George
Hamish Stewart
00:26:22
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. What was hold on a second. I don't hate a lot of guys. He just he only performs not every once in a while. Maybe he'll have a better year.
00:26:34
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:26:36
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I think that's your winner.
00:26:41
Jarrod Dyke
It's yep. Feel you on that one.
00:26:49
Jarrod Dyke
Maybe show me the goods. Yeah, who was in them? Trying to look up who was in the midfield last week for the Hurricanes when they've had their friendly there.
00:27:03
Jarrod Dyke
There we go. OK, yeah, I think people are understating, underestimating do market Jensen. He was in that team last week, so he's way down the list.
00:27:11
George
Hmm.
00:27:14
Jarrod Dyke
He didn't play a ton last year. then He got hurt, so didn't help.
00:27:16
George
Yeah.
00:27:19
George
Yeah. I think he was, I think I might've picked him in a league and just had him stashed away all season. He just never, never came along.
00:27:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no, no, he didn't sadly.
00:27:36
George
Right.
00:27:37
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. I'm not sure Riley Higgins is going to be the answer. Maybe you will be in someone knows something. I don't, but I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be the Proctor and the manga Jensen combo.
00:27:42
George
Yeah, not for now.
00:27:47
Jarrod Dyke
Well, yep.
00:27:47
George
I'd just, I'd rather have people I can rely upon who are going to be playing.
00:27:54
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I can, I would bet the farm that.
00:27:56
George
I hate just scrambling around the waivers at like six in the morning on a Wednesday.
00:28:03
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Hey, welcome to my world.
00:28:06
Jarrod Dyke
I'm, I'm up and trying to, trying to wrangle the kid and do this. I'm like, wait a minute. what What's my team look like? God damn it. It looks like shit. Nevermind.
00:28:06
George
Yeah, exactly.
00:28:17
Jarrod Dyke
At least last last year because Ben, and I had, yeah, by the way,
00:28:20
George
but you were up all night weren't you just i
00:28:22
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, this, this time last year, we were sending bed on the way to the hospital to.
00:28:26
George
remember i remember because we did do you remember we did the live draw and then i i listened to it and first of all we'd lost ben's microphone and then my microphone dropped off halfway through and so it was just a monologue you you were doing a monologue for the entire second half of it and i was gonna i was gonna ping you guys a message but i was like hang on no they're about to have their first born i'm not gonna bother
00:28:27
Jarrod Dyke
to
00:28:37
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Oh, horrible. I have no idea what happened.
00:28:48
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no, I listened to it later. I was like, oh man, this totally went to shit, didn't it? I was like, well, my give my I am fresh out of fucks to give.
00:28:57
Jarrod Dyke
So really, truly could not give less of a fuck.
00:28:58
George
Yeah, exactly.
00:28:58
George
yeah Not now.
00:29:03
Jarrod Dyke
I was way gone at that point. It's like, yeah, I guess we're just going to live with it. All right.
00:29:09
George
Yeah, exactly. Babies, not sleeping.
00:29:12
Jarrod Dyke
No.
00:29:13
George
Nah.
00:29:14
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no, I was. Yeah, but yeah, last week we were, I had the advantage of advanced, you know, somewhat of an advantage of being able to wake up middle of the night because I was feeding the kiddo and I was like, yeah, I can check the lineups and see what's going on.
00:29:17
George
Oh, that was early.
00:29:29
George
yeah Yeah.
00:29:30
Jarrod Dyke
Making can each make any additions. And on the weekends, it would be all right like, there's a game on. I know there's a game on.
00:29:36
Jarrod Dyke
So I'm just going to go watch it. And that would be the end.
00:29:36
George
yeah
00:29:43
George
Had the free jacks made any signings
Free Jacks' Season Challenges
00:29:46
George
ahead of the season still?
00:29:46
Jarrod Dyke
Um, nothing over the, there they're, they're, they're going to have a hard time competing this year. That LA team is the head piece together is looking awesome.
00:29:55
George
Yeah. Well, I saw Reese McDonald's gone as well, isn't he?
00:30:00
Jarrod Dyke
That's where he went.
00:30:01
George
He's gone to LA.
00:30:03
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yeah. Um, I mean, there's some solid players that are going to be in the team and a lot of the, a lot of the core will be back, but.
00:30:12
George
Yeah.
00:30:13
Jarrod Dyke
They'll get John Pauling back. Ken Roddy should play again this year, I believe. um That'll help, but like, I don't see.
00:30:20
Jarrod Dyke
I don't see us doing a three-peat. We'll get to the playoffs again, make make life hard on teams, but yeah, I don't think the three-peat's on the cards. Yeah, we lost Matthew to, I think he's the attack coach at Edinburgh now.
00:30:20
George
Unfortunately.
00:30:33
George
Right. Yeah.
00:30:35
Jarrod Dyke
So, that didn't help. and I like Ryan Martin and I like what he did with us last year. He conveniently became available because the Rebels went under. And ended up showing up at a game and I was like, I bet you he's here for more than just supporting us.
00:30:47
George
Yeah.
00:30:50
Jarrod Dyke
Sure enough. He was there to probably talk about what was happening next year being this year. So, but yeah. Um, what's the guy we got the one guy from the Brum, Brumby's McInerney, the hooker.
00:31:02
George
Oh yeah, ah the hooker, Connell MacNanny.
00:31:04
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Not, that'll be a good one along with, um, quadrant.
00:31:08
George
Oh, because who's your old hooker? Was it Quatrin?
00:31:12
Jarrod Dyke
So that'll be a nice one too. Right there, those two guys.
00:31:17
George
Oh my god, right, he's next.
00:31:20
Jarrod Dyke
Jacob.
00:31:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, now we're now we're scraping the bottle into the barrel here.
00:31:25
George
Yeah, we really are. When it comes to the outside backs, I need a third person. I don't want to another a red because I would have gone jock. So you're a wizard, Harry.
00:31:32
Jarrod Dyke
o
00:31:35
George
Harry Potter and you come water in you come.
00:31:36
Jarrod Dyke
harry poter Harry Potter, Harry Potter.
00:31:41
Jarrod Dyke
All right.
00:31:41
George
you come.
00:31:43
George
So that is three.
00:31:45
Jarrod Dyke
Let's see.
00:31:46
George
All right.
00:31:50
Jarrod Dyke
Do we know if like a model is actually healthy this year?
00:31:57
George
I'm not going near that with a barge pole. No chance.
00:32:00
Jarrod Dyke
All right.
00:32:01
George
So he's what he's at Moana now, isn't he?
00:32:03
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, yes.
00:32:05
George
I'll let someone else take that risk.
00:32:07
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I mean, that might be a, that might be you my dart throw at the very end of the draft. That's probably what's going to happen, honestly. Oh, ooh, nope. I know what my dart throw is as long as he doesn't get snagged. Under, he will, he's not been respected enough here. All right, I'm going to go Sevea.
00:32:28
George
fair he's gonna play no question yeah right i think i might need another loose forward and then it's just about then it's just about building out some solid reserves and then leave a lock to my last pick
00:32:29
Jarrod Dyke
The other Sevea. Yeah, that's my third, that's my third one, I think. So yeah. Okay. I'm, I'm very okay with that.
00:32:42
Jarrod Dyke
yeah
00:32:49
Jarrod Dyke
you'd You'd want one of them.
00:32:54
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:32:59
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, but there's only only a few bucks that you even want, right?
00:33:02
George
Yeah.
00:33:02
Jarrod Dyke
Like, I like Tupelo too, Kenim, Jeremy Williams.
00:33:05
George
Holland's, Holland's class. Williams is, Williams gets the old try here and there.
00:33:08
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Yeah, Barrett, maybe Vai.
00:33:12
Jarrod Dyke
Ryan Smith's kind of a walking card, I don't trust that.
00:33:12
George
Yeah.
00:33:14
George
And then, and then that's it. Yeah. Then I, then you're at the limit.
00:33:15
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:33:16
George
i mean Yeah.
00:33:17
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no, no, no, pass the rest. It's meh, meh. Makes you want a bucket of meh.
00:33:25
George
Tane Edmurd to Justin.
00:33:28
Jarrod Dyke
ah I thought about grabbing him as a backup fly half and I was like, you know what?
00:33:31
George
Yeah.
00:33:31
Jarrod Dyke
I already have two ret, uh, two tots. So that's not going to go well for me. So I passed. Um, let's see.
00:33:59
Jarrod Dyke
We're going to go off the board here off the board, but maybe a little bit off the reservation.
00:34:03
George
or go for it yeah Duncan has a habit of doing that at least once every every draft you can guarantee that Duncan with
00:34:06
Jarrod Dyke
Well, Duncan doesn't snipe me, which he's already done once.
00:34:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, he does. We have we have ah we have recorded evidence of such.
00:34:24
Jarrod Dyke
He's going to snack somewhere you wanted.
00:34:26
George
his Duncan Keene sniper rifle
00:34:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. All right. There we go.
00:34:32
Jarrod Dyke
We you go with that. Yeah, I need a backup 10.
00:34:32
George
JOC.
00:34:35
George
Yep.
00:34:36
Jarrod Dyke
So I
00:34:37
George
Good choice.
00:34:40
Jarrod Dyke
need a backup 10. I need someone for week one. and Hopefully he's playing week one.
00:34:42
George
yeah Yep. Yep.
00:34:45
Jarrod Dyke
After that, I'll deal with it.
00:34:48
Jarrod Dyke
ah
00:34:57
George
Right. I just hope. Oh God, it's Duncan now. No, don't do it.
00:35:03
Jarrod Dyke
Whatever you're thinking, Duncan, don't do it.
00:35:08
Jarrod Dyke
It's like, uh, it's like Ghostbusters. Empty your mind. Don't let them, don't let them see your thoughts.
00:35:11
George
Okay. you All right. He's, he's all right.
00:35:15
Jarrod Dyke
I considered that, but.
00:35:17
George
he Right. I'm going to take, uh, Christian Leo Willie. He was banging in the tries.
00:35:23
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Nice.
00:35:27
George
Banging in the tyres last year.
00:35:27
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, like that's really, that's probably their best attacking loose forward for them.
00:35:31
George
Yeah.
00:35:32
Jarrod Dyke
So that's not awful.
00:35:33
George
Why is Blackadder so high in the rankings?
00:35:35
Jarrod Dyke
I don't know. Like I know he's an all black, but like he doesn't do anything special.
00:35:38
George
Yeah No Yeah a No
00:35:39
Jarrod Dyke
It's certainly not worthy of fantasy stuff. You know, like he's a, he's a, he's a junkyard dog. He's a dog. He, he, he works his ass off. He does the dirty work, but it doesn't, it's not something that's going to show up on your score sheet by any means whatsoever.
00:35:52
Jarrod Dyke
So I don't know if I really am that would be that excited about that. So pass, excuse me.
00:36:01
George
Okay, so now think I've got someone for every position. Right, now where have I got reds? I've got a red in the mid, and I've got a front ray. I'm not so bothered about that.
00:36:25
George
And we've got seven more picks to go.
00:36:31
Jarrod Dyke
I think my wife just fell on the grenade by FaceTiming my mom.
00:36:36
George
Oh!
00:36:40
Jarrod Dyke
she She gets a drink for that one.
00:36:43
George
Yeah, fair play. Taking one for the team.
00:36:53
Jarrod Dyke
Nope, my mistake it was her parents.
00:36:55
George
Oh, that's okay.
00:36:55
Jarrod Dyke
Also a good grenade to fall on because I don't want to talk to them either.
00:36:59
George
The mother-in-law.
00:37:01
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:37:09
George
Months, months would have been a a fairly solid backup fly half.
00:37:14
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no, not bad.
00:37:23
George
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
00:37:23
Jarrod Dyke
Oh my. Yeah. As stated, we are scraping barrels here at this point.
00:37:28
George
Yep.
00:37:30
Jarrod Dyke
Let's set it still with seven picks to go to.
00:37:33
George
Wilson Creighton, right, well I'm just gonna take Garden Bash up as a backup fly half.
00:37:43
George
and
00:37:43
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's actually a good one. I like that.
00:37:45
George
and yeah he's gonna be starting and I've got Donaldson will be my first choice anyways yes he is where's he gone Los Angeles another one
00:37:49
Jarrod Dyke
I imagine so. I mean, she was starting like 90% of the year last year for the hurricane. So I can't see them doing anything else.
00:37:59
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Cause Lily Afano is in MLR.
00:38:05
Jarrod Dyke
Los Angeles. Yeah. Now they're, they're going for it. I think that's pretty clear at this point.
00:38:11
George
Yeah, they are.
Impact of International Players in Major League Rugby
00:38:13
George
so chicago Chicago signed a few familiar faces as well. Tim Swill.
00:38:17
Jarrod Dyke
They've had some, yep.
00:38:19
George
Swillow.
00:38:20
Jarrod Dyke
yeah. Yeah, there's some good ones.
00:38:23
George
Who else did they get?
00:38:24
Jarrod Dyke
um What's his butt from Exeter? Devoto.
00:38:28
George
Devoto, Devo, who was playing at Taunton at the start of the year. I think it's fourth level down.
00:38:36
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, gosh.
00:38:38
George
Yeah, National League, National League 3 West is the league he was playing.
00:38:39
Jarrod Dyke
That's a bad day.
00:38:42
Jarrod Dyke
Ew. Oh, man, that sounded...
00:38:46
George
Yeah, right, right.
00:38:46
Jarrod Dyke
That's not a fun place to be, I imagine. At least not if you're used to, you know, yeah.
00:38:49
George
Yeah, if you're used to the prep.
00:38:52
Jarrod Dyke
All right, we're gonna go with that first.
00:38:53
George
ah Sullivan, good choice, good choice. He was right down the rankings, couldn't quite work out why.
00:38:59
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no, i'm i mean um and then I'm gonna cover my ass. cause that's my so I need one of those guys to be my second midfielder.
00:39:17
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, she had him outside.
00:39:23
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, come on. We can all do this now. Justin, let's see where you got Justin, Chuck Campbell. Okay, there's that Dallas McLeod.
00:39:30
George
Yeah.
00:39:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Okay.
00:39:31
George
Yeah. So McCloud's been, McCloud's been starting in the Fred Nice as well.
00:39:32
Jarrod Dyke
Middies.
00:39:36
Jarrod Dyke
I seen that. Yeah. David have really with it. What? Why is he so far down? Damn. Does he hurt?
00:39:42
George
I completely missed that.
00:39:47
Jarrod Dyke
What is going on with David.
00:39:54
Jarrod Dyke
but yeah, I guess, yeah, he hasn't turned into much of a fancy done since he got moved to the center.
00:39:57
George
No.
00:39:59
Jarrod Dyke
So again, it's a hard position to score from. So certainly understand that.
00:40:12
Jarrod Dyke
And we're back to my demos. Okay. As I said, covering my butt. I've got two of the three that were left for the hurricanes. It better be one of them.
00:40:28
Jarrod Dyke
Oh yeah, I feel he's gonna be the captain this year for the Crusaders. Wow, okay.
00:40:37
Jarrod Dyke
That's interesting. Yeah.
00:40:37
George
definitely worth a pick okay so no no no no
00:40:53
George
Danny Tawala he
00:40:56
Jarrod Dyke
Mmm, that's a good one. He's he's had spurts of being very good. So
00:41:02
George
has also might take I might take another outside back Momo because he's gonna start probably for the drill
00:41:16
Jarrod Dyke
yeah, that's a good one He did he had a good end of the campaign.
00:41:21
George
Yep.
00:41:21
Jarrod Dyke
I'm pretty sure So yeah, that might that might turn out okay
00:41:27
George
Okay.
00:41:30
Jarrod Dyke
verna And a mirror head what a frickin oh Yeah, no, it hasn't been picked yet, but he's like he's that he's like the next three OB listed it's like o like You're in a you're in a rough spot if that's what's going on there Back
00:41:35
George
your hurt god though we are We are scraping the barrel now. Oh, man.
00:41:55
Jarrod Dyke
to this
00:42:00
Jarrod Dyke
Why is he so far down there? I have questions.
00:42:10
Jarrod Dyke
Huh? Okay. Interesting.
00:42:15
Jarrod Dyke
Not there, but all right.
00:42:19
Jarrod Dyke
Do a little digging on why certain players are so fucking low.
00:42:19
George
Okay.
00:42:22
George
Yeah.
00:42:22
Jarrod Dyke
I'm wondering what the hell is going on here.
00:42:26
Jarrod Dyke
What the hell is going on out there?
00:42:35
George
these loose forwards.
00:42:43
George
Flanders. Nope. Not funny.
00:42:46
Jarrod Dyke
no No, me neither. I mean, if that's your third loose forward, then okay.
00:42:51
George
yeah even read
00:42:52
Jarrod Dyke
But like, that's when you're starting to. I'm not believing in that by any means whatsoever.
00:43:02
Jarrod Dyke
I'd rather have me miracle, honestly. That's where I'd rather go. I just don't see likes of him. You know, Prince Epps not much.
00:43:15
Jarrod Dyke
Jacobson same thing Liam right? I see is just a like just a guy that's there Congress had had a okay start to the hurricanes last our Crusaders last year, but Yep,
00:43:20
George
Ah, Luke Jacobson, maybe actually.
00:43:29
George
He did, he did. But I've also got Leo Willy, so I don't want to double up in them.
00:43:34
Jarrod Dyke
you don't need that Mmm, you're strong suit.
00:43:36
George
Right, so Jacobson is.
00:43:40
Jarrod Dyke
I have a feeling
00:43:42
George
No, I mean, he used to be, he used to be a great carrier, but these days not so much, but he's my, he's my third back rower.
00:43:47
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Okay.
00:43:50
George
I've got Arty and he's not going to go anywhere.
00:43:52
Jarrod Dyke
Nope.
00:43:53
George
Um, Leo Willie will be my second choice. He's just, he's just a solid backup.
00:43:56
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Yeah, that's not bad.
00:44:00
Jarrod Dyke
You've, that you've covered your bases with that.
00:44:02
George
Yeah, exactly.
00:44:02
Jarrod Dyke
I would say I wouldn't worry about it too much.
00:44:09
Jarrod Dyke
Fuck you still took my idea.
00:44:11
George
So, he did who did he grab?
00:44:13
Jarrod Dyke
Love.
00:44:15
George
Ah, but he's he's crocked. I think he's out for like six weeks.
00:44:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. So it could be a good gather.
00:44:21
George
Nice stash.
00:44:23
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. That's a stash. That's not my, that's not starting guy whatsoever.
00:44:25
George
No.
00:44:27
Jarrod Dyke
That's a, you know, some, some, some other time down the road.
00:44:31
Jarrod Dyke
I'm going to chuck him in there and say, here we go.
00:44:31
George
Yep.
00:44:36
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. And that brings me up to all. There's that. Okay. Oh, I don't want that. now Oh, good Lord. What is going on with this?
00:44:57
Jarrod Dyke
Curly wheel. No, thank you.
00:44:58
Jarrod Dyke
yeah I don't think he played a minute last year.
00:44:58
George
Oh my god.
00:45:00
George
I forgot about him.
00:45:01
Jarrod Dyke
If I'm not, I'm not mistaken. I don't think he played a minute. So that's a no.
00:45:05
George
yeah
00:45:07
Jarrod Dyke
Um, all right. He was good when he played Recaro when he played just didn't play that often, but maybe it's a little more time. Who knows?
00:45:16
George
Uh, so Cabus is on now.
00:45:21
Jarrod Dyke
Mm hmm. Yeah. Now it's start throwing time and i hope to God it works.
00:45:25
George
Yeah, it really is.
00:45:31
George
Who else have we got in the meds? C.O. Tompkins in another walking red card.
00:45:44
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Oh my God. Yep. Remember him. Mac. Really? Hmm. Just a guy.
00:45:51
George
Just a guy. Fakati.
00:45:59
Jarrod Dyke
back at mintfielder, but Oh yeah, you don't need that.
00:46:01
George
he He would be my fault fourth mid. No, he would be my third.
00:46:08
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, okay. There wouldn't be bad.
00:46:11
Jarrod Dyke
Let's scoop that up.
00:46:15
Jarrod Dyke
Let's see. Who else has done this?
00:46:20
Jarrod Dyke
Um, has something happened to brought to my Tofuki Neepkins that I'm not knowing about?
00:46:26
George
Yes. Yeah, he had a horrendous neck injury.
00:46:31
Jarrod Dyke
Ow.
00:46:32
George
like genuine career threatner but I think yeah exactly at the time it looked really yeah it was it was a proper Tom Evans kitsch off really grim looking one yeah yeah that's basically him out for the season yeah
00:46:35
Jarrod Dyke
Potentially, potentially, yeah. Good to know. I was like, he is way far further down than I thought he would be.
00:46:48
Jarrod Dyke
Ouch. Okay, well, that's not gonna work well.
00:46:54
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's likely him out for a long time minimum. Yuck. All right, well, that's a no deal for me.
00:47:00
George
So that's a no, so I'm glad I talked you out of that one.
00:47:02
Jarrod Dyke
i Well, I was going to go digging. ah that was That was the answer.
00:47:07
George
yeah
00:47:07
Jarrod Dyke
So I'm sure that would have been the first thing that popped up.
00:47:10
George
yeah
00:47:10
Jarrod Dyke
So ah it's like, oh, OK, that's not that's that's why we don't pick him.
00:47:14
Jarrod Dyke
OK, got it. OK.
00:47:14
George
no
00:47:19
Jarrod Dyke
Boop, boop, boop, boop. Oh, my lord. um
00:47:25
George
joey woton
00:47:26
Jarrod Dyke
Wow, we are.
00:47:27
George
yeah
00:47:28
Jarrod Dyke
We are at fun times over here. um
00:47:37
Jarrod Dyke
ah We're throwing darts here, so I'm trying to just grab whatever the fuck I feel like. I'm going Daniel Sinkinson from the Hurricanes.
00:47:43
George
Yeah.
00:47:43
Jarrod Dyke
He's not going to play much, but if he, if he falls into a starting row, he'll be great. But I don't know if that's going to happen, but hey, we're, we're, at we're, we have three picks left for the most part here. So I am not worried about it in terms of that.
00:47:57
George
No, no, exactly. We're now right. The dregs. Right. So let's just wait for Duncan to pick the person who have got my mind.
00:48:19
George
Valentini, okay.
00:48:22
Jarrod Dyke
Which one?
00:48:24
George
Rob, Robert, Brumby's Valentini.
00:48:26
Jarrod Dyke
Is he banged up? Is that why he's so low?
00:48:28
George
He is banged up, I think, I think he is.
00:48:29
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. That, that makes a lot more sense than him being honored he tough the board here.
00:48:36
George
No, right, I'm gonna get Faketi, and then at least I can stick two mids out on week one.
00:48:42
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's true.
00:48:43
George
And then let's see what, yeah.
00:48:44
Jarrod Dyke
So assuming the selection process doesn't totally break that, that idea into smithereens.
00:48:51
George
Let's see what dregs we got left in the outside back.
00:48:57
George
AJ Lamb.
00:49:00
Jarrod Dyke
Mm. Yep.
00:49:01
George
To Jay Clark.
00:49:01
Jarrod Dyke
I mean, yeah,
00:49:04
George
ah Lamb's just not going to play, I don't think.
00:49:08
Jarrod Dyke
so I mean, you're banking on Talia Clark and parafetta to get injured and or have a rest day, which might still work out okay, but still.
00:49:12
George
Yeah, ah exactly.
00:49:19
Jarrod Dyke
Also, you this is now no longer a league where you can rest guys against certain opponents like Moana, obviously, like they will jump up and get you so
00:49:25
George
No. Yeah.
00:49:29
Jarrod Dyke
You got to play as many good lineups as you can in a row. So I don't think it's going to be as predictable to figure out which guys are going to mess with which weeks.
00:49:49
Jarrod Dyke
Wow. What's this guy? Oh yeah, you know what?
00:50:03
Jarrod Dyke
Do we have, uh, yeah. Are you going to say, do we have a duple C query fee signing? Yes, we do. So you'll see if I can find where he is. Yeah. He's way down there in the pecking order of those forwards.
00:50:31
Jarrod Dyke
Mark's getting himself in trouble.
00:50:35
George
okay I'm gonna go with a real real outside shot but I've heard good things about this next guy he's an outside back for the canes real real he's had um yeah big reviews
00:50:44
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Oh yeah. Yeah, I saw that. That's a good one. Um,
00:51:02
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, all it takes is one bolter.
00:51:03
George
And maybe, yeah, exactly. Maybe with Love Out he'll get a shot as well.
00:51:07
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:51:15
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, go to the pub, Mark. Your job's done.
00:51:17
George
Do it, do it, do it.
00:51:18
Jarrod Dyke
At this point, you don't need these last three picks to make your team.
00:51:20
George
Do it.
00:51:20
Jarrod Dyke
If you do, you messed up somewhere else, and to be honest. Let's be honest.
00:51:29
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:51:32
Jarrod Dyke
All right, there goes that. So we've got Alex has gone with the Moana front row.
00:51:34
George
so right and Let me take this guy.
00:51:38
Jarrod Dyke
Got speed sir.
00:51:43
George
There he is. Finian Gaffo.
00:51:47
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Finneas and verb.
00:51:54
George
That guy.
00:52:00
George
Right, so now I have...
00:52:01
Jarrod Dyke
Let's see if Mark lets the clock run down easy to run out the door.
00:52:02
George
One, two, three, four.
00:52:07
George
Oh, he can go now.
00:52:09
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, like I said.
00:52:12
George
Five outside backs, three mids, two fly-hars, one scrum-half, three loose forwards.
00:52:23
George
Who's going to be my last one? And then I'll just pick up. Has anyone taken a single lock yet?
00:52:29
Jarrod Dyke
ah There is one, there is a couple off the board.
00:52:29
George
I think... Who's there?
00:52:32
Jarrod Dyke
Um, two Pilots is gone. Williams is gone.
00:52:36
George
No, Williams is still there.
00:52:37
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, he is there. Okay.
00:52:38
Jarrod Dyke
But I saw two Pilots go off.
00:52:39
George
Yeah.
00:52:40
Jarrod Dyke
So there's that.
00:52:40
George
Yeah.
00:52:42
George
Williams is still there. Holland's still there. Scott Barrett. Tupi Vai. Yeah.
00:52:49
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's like the list. That's about the most I would take him. That was
00:52:55
George
I guess if if any any of them are there for my probably my last pick, I'll grab one of those and if not, I won't bother.
00:53:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no. Yeah, short list of guys that you want to pick and then just might as well throw another dart at on someone else, you know?
00:53:08
George
Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:15
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, the the the no lock strategy is totally legit once you hit a certain point.
00:53:19
George
Exactly.
00:53:22
Jarrod Dyke
All right.
Conclusion and Upcoming Matchups Announcement
00:53:24
Jarrod Dyke
The miracle. That's my third, that's my third lose forward, I think, too. Yeah, okay, good. I can live with that.
00:53:32
George
You covered.
00:53:33
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. I can live with that. Last one. Last two. Last two.
00:53:42
George
I believe in miracles.
00:53:43
Jarrod Dyke
There you go. I was waiting for someone to make that joke.
00:53:53
Jarrod Dyke
Duncan has proclaimed he believes in miracles. I don't know if I believe that much in this miracle, but and it might work.
00:53:59
George
i i need to
00:54:00
Jarrod Dyke
It might work.
00:54:00
George
well
00:54:04
Jarrod Dyke
David Paulo. Interesting.
00:54:07
George
Tuolima.
00:54:08
Jarrod Dyke
What are these things that Justin knows that we don't.
00:54:09
George
Tuolima. No, i've ah so this guy, Tuolima, is going to be playing in the back row for the first three or four weeks whilst Valentini's out. And Justin loves a loose forwards listed.
00:54:18
Jarrod Dyke
and Okay.
00:54:23
George
Oh, he's listed as a prop in the in the official game.
00:54:25
Jarrod Dyke
In the official game. No shit. ah but Shows you how much they know about their own fucking product.
00:54:28
George
Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God.
00:54:32
Jarrod Dyke
Jeez them.
00:54:33
George
But yeah, he so he's in here as a lock. think So he'll be value for the first few weeks.
00:54:38
Jarrod Dyke
Oh yeah, I would I'd say that's a good argument. Don't be cristy. Like what good is he? Honestly, does he have any use other than just being friendly?
00:54:46
George
come
00:54:49
Jarrod Dyke
Christie?
00:54:49
George
Again, like with scum halves as well, they're pretty easy to pick up on the waivers. I wouldn't bother with the reserves.
00:54:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no, I'm not. I'm not looking for a bonus scrum half by any means whatsoever.
00:54:57
George
No.
00:54:59
Jarrod Dyke
I'd rather, you know, shoot for someone that might play this week or next week and just call it that.
00:55:04
George
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:55:05
Jarrod Dyke
Um,
00:55:07
George
Who's your Scrum half? Who have you got?
00:55:08
Jarrod Dyke
Ratama.
00:55:10
George
Oh, perfect. Yeah, you're sorted.
00:55:11
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, should be okay. um
00:55:17
Jarrod Dyke
i I don't know how much he's gonna play, but we're gonna go with Heromai and Mary.
00:55:20
Jarrod Dyke
That's like my that's like my fifth OB, or sixth even.
00:55:20
George
All Good choice.
00:55:23
George
That's fifth. Yeah, perfect.
00:55:25
Jarrod Dyke
Look at that.
00:55:25
George
He's going to play. He's going to play. He looked good to the Crusaders last year when he when he had a chance.
00:55:29
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he did. What little... Yeah, they can get out the Crusaders could knock you out of their own way last year.
00:55:35
George
No.
00:55:37
Jarrod Dyke
It was really weird to watch that happen.
00:55:39
Jarrod Dyke
It's like, this doesn't look like what I'm used to seeing with this team.
00:55:39
George
Yeah.
00:55:41
George
nine
00:55:44
Jarrod Dyke
All right, last picks gents.
00:55:49
George
Yep, two rounds.
00:56:00
Jarrod Dyke
I'll swing it back.
00:56:01
George
I was looking at the official game earlier on. Nothing really to... to write home about, it's not that. It's exactly the same as the Rugby World Cup game.
00:56:10
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's what I was looking at. I was like, this interface looks familiar.
00:56:13
George
Yeah.
00:56:15
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, there's no, okay.
00:56:15
George
And you can change your team every week as well.
00:56:17
George
So it's not, you don't even have that strategic aspect.
00:56:22
Jarrod Dyke
Interesting. So elements of like the official six nations game and stuff as well.
00:56:26
George
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly like that. You just change it up. So it's quite high maintenance.
00:56:39
George
Alright Duncan, what's he got? Oh, Liam Wright, okay. Okay.
00:56:46
Jarrod Dyke
No, Stu, everyone did not get who they wanted. Because he sniped me at least once. ah
00:56:55
George
Oh, that's nice.
00:56:56
Jarrod Dyke
Down to hell. I can't even remember who he nabbed. Oh, love. That's who it was. like Who the hell did he nab that I was i was upset about?
00:57:04
George
Oh, you got eagle love.
00:57:05
Jarrod Dyke
That's what it was. It was Riven Love.
00:57:08
George
Well I'm going to take Jeremy Williams because he's pretty decent and he's good for a try here and there.
00:57:10
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:57:17
Jarrod Dyke
yeahly Yeah, it's a short list of players you want um you want in that position, as we said, for about the billionth time at this point.
00:57:26
George
Do I really want another loose forward? Probably don't need one.
00:57:31
Jarrod Dyke
No, I would either go with another mid, maybe ah maybe maybe ah another OB, b something that we we have a hard time filling out in here because you only need two loose forwards.
00:57:34
George
Yeah.
00:57:44
George
Exactly.
00:57:45
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. And there's three of them picked every weekend for each team.
00:57:47
George
I... Yep.
00:57:49
Jarrod Dyke
So grand, not all of them are designated list forwards, but yeah.
00:57:53
George
I might take the other Umanga Jensen then.
00:57:58
George
The one who isn't Peter.
00:58:00
Jarrod Dyke
Oh yeah. Um, Thomas, are there any front rows left?
00:58:02
George
Thomas.
00:58:07
Jarrod Dyke
There are. Oh my God.
00:58:09
George
Yep.
00:58:09
Jarrod Dyke
Surprised. Especially if anybody grabbed that red front row, like did that.
00:58:13
George
Well that would be me. That would be me.
00:58:14
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, well then. Well, you have options left, just saying. Forest Highland is Brumby's, neither one of them is sexy, but, you know, might get you a few points here and there depending on the matchup.
00:58:28
George
the respective hookers for those ones. So we've got Force's Pangomosa, Brumby's... Brumby's front row used to be class when they had Flau.
00:58:39
Jarrod Dyke
Mmm. Flowl. Mm-hmm.
00:58:43
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Flowl finger. I think it's, um yep, it's him and there's, that's one.
00:58:44
George
but not so much.
00:58:47
George
Billy Pollard is their first, oh no, and Lachlan Monaghan. And then Landers.
00:58:53
Jarrod Dyke
My boy's namesake.
00:58:55
George
Henry Bell.
00:58:59
George
I reckon.
00:59:00
Jarrod Dyke
Michael Manson. Please tell me he just picked that on the name alone.
00:59:04
George
Michael Manson.
00:59:05
Jarrod Dyke
Alex, it just sounds like a, I don't know, it sounds like a bad guy.
00:59:07
George
Who is Michael Manson? Great name, great name. I picked up, I was in, in those deep drafts. I picked up this guy for, um, what's he called?
00:59:18
George
He's got a hell of a name. I think he might be a loose forward. Nick champion de Crespini for the force.
00:59:25
Jarrod Dyke
That's a good one. Damn. That's a good one. Wow.
00:59:30
George
I've not, I don't know anything about him, but I've heard he's, I heard he's pretty good. He's a nice outside shot, but not for a 15 player Fox league.
00:59:34
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:59:39
George
Yes. Not, not in this one.
00:59:42
Jarrod Dyke
No. Yeah. No. When you need, I mean, you need to fill out a whole 15 every week.
00:59:45
George
Yeah, exactly.
00:59:45
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Just go with it. Right. All right. There we go. And Mr. Irrelevant will be. Who's it going to be? Cause it's Cobus and Justin left.
01:00:02
George
And now we're pretty much bang on decent.
01:00:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. And then we'll check, then we'll check on matchups for the weekend.
01:00:09
George
Oh, it's going to be me and you first. It always is guaranteed.
01:00:11
Jarrod Dyke
I know it seems to be inevitable every in time.
01:00:20
Jarrod Dyke
Here we go. Come on.
01:00:21
George
Come on Cobus, put us out of our misery.
01:00:22
Jarrod Dyke
Joe is, you can do it.
01:00:23
George
Alomarlo.
01:00:23
Jarrod Dyke
There we go.
01:00:24
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, yeah, I, I, I have enough Moana that I didn't make that my dart throw, but that's okay.
01:00:24
George
Okay.
01:00:28
George
Yep.
01:00:30
Jarrod Dyke
And then, like you also interesting, but okay.
01:00:31
George

Jarrod Dyke

01:00:50
George
I've got Cobus week one.
01:00:51
Jarrod Dyke
You've got Cobus. Yeah, be George and Cobus, it'll be so myself and Alex, it'll be Stu and Duncan, and it'll be Mark and Justin. Fun times, friends.

01:01:01
Jarrod Dyke
Hold on to your bums.
01:01:03
George
Yeah, absolutely.
01:01:03
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I gotta to go switch that, my one reds player out, but. All right, cool.
01:01:08
George
That could be worse.
