Jarrod Dyke: Hey, everybody. Welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm Ben Glazer.
Jarrod Dyke: Let's do it. It's Fancy Corner time. Let's have ah we spin on that. um Update on our PWR teams. If you weren't alive to it last week, we did do semifinals picks. the The slate was white clean.
Jarrod Dyke: But now if you picked anybody from last week, you cannot pick them this week. I think... um
Jarrod Dyke: I think our top point getter on the weekend was, in terms of over ah individual player, was someone that had, it
Jarrod Dyke: i been it was either Matthews or, trying think.
Jarrod Dyke: um I was Keldon. Probably should have expected that. um Duncan, Piccadil, Dunn. So terms of individual performances, that was that was the top one.
Jarrod Dyke: But yeah um yeah, you and I got bit by Alona only playing 49 minutes. That didn't help him.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. But she still scored.
Jarrod Dyke: She did score. That was extremely helpful. Otherwise, we were in really in trouble.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: Really, really in trouble. ah Anyway, so get those picks in this, not this weekend, next weekend. That's the one. um if you didn't pick them up If you didn't pick anybody last weekend, then they're open. Otherwise, reconsider your pick.
Jarrod Dyke: All right. let's Let's jump over that bridge and go right to start set, shall we?
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep. we start with the...
Jarrod Dyke: Start with Six Nations first.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay.
Jarrod Dyke: So that's me.
Grumpy Old Prop: You don't want to do our PWR picks?
Jarrod Dyke: Oh, um no, because we we have ah we have a week, dude.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh, we have a week. Fuck. Never mind.
Jarrod Dyke: Files next week.
Grumpy Old Prop: mean, I know who my picks are going to be. So, okay. We have a week.
Jarrod Dyke: Attaboy. Well, keep them stashed for another day.
Grumpy Old Prop: Damn it. Son a bitch. All right.
Jarrod Dyke: good Good on you for doing your hard work of hair time, though.
Grumpy Old Prop: and No. I don't want to get that reputation. Don't tell anybody I did that.
Jarrod Dyke: Let's not spread that rumor around.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: All right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Please. Hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: starting Starting us off. Ireland and France for the Irish. um I've got Porter, Sheehan, Byrne, Conan Ordorce as a start.
Jarrod Dyke: Vanden Flair as a start. Gibson Park, or if you want to go rogue and not pick DuPont, yep. Prendergast, yep. Lowe, yes. um Guys that are highly owned that haven't quite done the job the first three rounds. Bielam, James Ryan, Aki Henshaw, Hanson are on the names. The only one of those I'm really interested in is Hanson.
Jarrod Dyke: But the other one, but I'm going to say Sip for now. I might change my mind. um For the French. um Gross, Malvaca, Miafu, Flumont, Aldrete, yep.
Jarrod Dyke: um Not highly picked, but also considered Boudin as well.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: ah If I need to tell you to start an int on DuPont, then you're then you're not paying attention. um Ramos, because he's probably go be playing at 10, don't think int on Max available yet. um Barassi, Bielbierre, and then the new kid, Atisalbe.
Jarrod Dyke: I'm like, yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, he's scored a couple tries in each of his last two games.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep.
Jarrod Dyke: So give him go. ah don't I do have a couple of sits for the French. Winnie Antonio has not performed for, especially for his value.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: And I'm a little gun shy about my partner playing 12 against this team. So that's, you know, he's scored.
Grumpy Old Prop: all
Jarrod Dyke: Okay. Obviously his last performance was extremely helpful for his overall average, but yeah, unless he's, unless they stick them on the wing for whatever a reason, which I don't think they will. think they're done with that experiment.
Grumpy Old Prop: right on to scotland hosting wales for the scots um schumann skumann um just a
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: Carries Eater, he hasn't quite produced yet, but I think this is a really good matchup for him. um Rory Darge and Richie, yes and yes. They've actually both been scoring pretty well when they've started.
Grumpy Old Prop: um If they're both in, they that'll be, this is again, very good matchup for them. Finn, Hugh Jones, and then Dewey and Kinghorn, yes and yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: For the Welsh, Nicky Smith has been actually scoring pretty well in and the Super Brews. And obviously, Welsh player helps free up other positions, would recommend.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: um Jack Morgan and and and Blair Murray, too. um Actually, he showed well last time, and and don't see any reason to to see why he wouldn't this time as well.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, I can ball a little bit.
Grumpy Old Prop: Slightly different approach to the game. could work out in his favor.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. Yeah, totally.
Jarrod Dyke: All right, um England and Italy for the host.
Grumpy Old Prop: Henry Slate scored a try on this game.
Jarrod Dyke: um
Grumpy Old Prop: We already called it the other pod, so...
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, and he'll score a total of five points. um For the English, Genj, Morrow, not not scoring well, but like among second rows in Super Rio, it's actually pretty good.
Jarrod Dyke: It's just really annoying because it's not that big of a number. Much as it pains me to say it, Tom Curry. Ben Earl, both Smiths, Finn and Marcus. Ollie Lawrence is a go this week. Freeman, yes.
Jarrod Dyke: i have I do have a couple of sets, guys that just aren't performing well and are way too highly owned. Stewart and LCD. I don't know why the fuck he's owned so much.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh, distasteful.
Jarrod Dyke: Jesus. Yeah. Yeah, extremely.
Jarrod Dyke: For the Italians, I got you.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right. Oh, that's right.
Jarrod Dyke: um I'm with you.
Grumpy Old Prop: You still have another team.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, I know. so For the Italians, I'm on it. um Fischetti, Ruzza, Lorenzo Canoni, Tommy Allen, Paolo Garbisi, Brex Menoncello. Those are the ones you're really going to clamp an eyeball on.
Jarrod Dyke: ah My sits, Nicotera, if he's starting, it's been a little bit mixture between him and Lucchese, so we'll see.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Nico Canoni. Not interested in Seb again. Lamoureux, same. Ioani and Caputo, neither one of them have really scored super well. So even though week Caputo scored his try, I don't think he scored a ton of points in the end.
Jarrod Dyke: So, yeah. Nope. We're going to pass on those because there are other options that are better. Yeah, let me see. here Yeah, nine. or Eight and a half for the week he scored against Wales.
Grumpy Old Prop: yes
Jarrod Dyke: So, yeah. Nope. Nope.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh, no, thank you.
Jarrod Dyke: Nope. Nope salad for me, sure.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hefty, no, thank you.
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm. Agreed. Agreed. OT dubs.
Grumpy Old Prop: OD dubs. um I mentioned my my start of the week. um And the guy's just been his tri-scoring machine.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's been ridiculous, and I don't see any reason why hugh Jones wouldn't continue doing that. So he's my start of the week.
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm. That's a good one. It's a really good one. um and Okay. Then that will leave me with um easy pickings.
Jarrod Dyke: Been scoring well. And he's proving that 15 shirt isn't really a problem for him. My shot over is going to be Marcus.
Grumpy Old Prop: I, he was my other one. That was my, yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: So, uh, yeah, we're doing each other's homework. Um, I said of the week, um, been back a little bit.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: I just don't know that this is a good matchup for Josh Vanderfleer. so I'm going to pump the brakes on him.
Jarrod Dyke: Okay.
Jarrod Dyke: right. i mean, he's, and he is on the edge of like being on that startable, you know, side for me.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: I'll also ah say that. So I'm not totally against what you're saying by any means whatsoever.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, it's a gamble this week and I'm i'm betting ah against him.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. No, no, no. I stay.
Grumpy Old Prop: And this is not a reflection on you, Mr.
Jarrod Dyke: Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: Omani. I have the utmost respect for your work and and then please don't hurt me.
Jarrod Dyke: but Take some of those gardening shears to your freaking face that he was using in the show.
Grumpy Old Prop: Wow.
Jarrod Dyke: All right. Yeah, for for me, i'm i have no interest in any of the Irish midfielders, honestly. So I'm to go with Henshaw.
Jarrod Dyke: Just not quite doing it. I like him as a player a lot.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: he doesn't he His skill set range is wide and lovely, but his point production great. there So we're going to go with Robbie Henshaw.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, I guess we're off to ah the Supes, which will hardly kick off first.
Jarrod Dyke: Supers. Mm-hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: um first I have the first match of Blues hosting Grumbies for the Blues, their front row. Tui Pilato is still a go for second row. I know he's expensive in Super Brew, but I think he's going to pay off.
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: Dalton Papali, because, I mean, he's going to be their best attacking the option. Yeah. and then, you know, Bowden, Tilla, Clark. Yes, yes. And yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: For the Grumbies, um, I'd shy away from the front row this week, uh, but not from Nick Frost or kale. Um, and then I'm playing tool, but I don't care that he's been scoring a little bit. I'm don't, don't touch me or head.
Jarrod Dyke: Oh, yeah, I know.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's always, it's, it's, it's always tempting. You're like, Oh, but you know, it's a value. pick It's not a value pick. Just,
Jarrod Dyke: There's so many better value picks out there in terms of, like, if you're playing, especially if you're playing on Super Bowl, like, what's the kid from Moana Pacifica?
Grumpy Old Prop: so't Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Didn't play well last week. Tomoy Falau. Like, yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: I would rather have that, honestly.
Grumpy Old Prop: And so.
Jarrod Dyke: How much is Mirrorhead? He's five. Oh, shit. Yeah, way better.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Like you have Kenny Nahalo that's at five. You have, oh God, you have so many options at five million.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: Like, yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Just he's not a he's not a bargain. He's just cheap.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, no.
Grumpy Old Prop: Let's put it that way.
Jarrod Dyke: Tava Tava Nawa is five.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, sign up sign me up for that. Draw a Sese. um
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, there's still some. Tangy Tau is four. Finn Hurley is four.
Grumpy Old Prop: he although he bit me on the ass this past week because he because he dropped so he bit me on the ass this past week because he dropped i really did not cool
Jarrod Dyke: Finang and Nofo is is four. Like, yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: What's that?
Jarrod Dyke: Oh, yeah, i know. That was unfortunate, but did you not have a backup? um
Grumpy Old Prop: I had Tim Ryan went in, but still.
Jarrod Dyke: He played a lot, actually, because he got subbed in a little early.
Grumpy Old Prop: Fair enough. He's only got seven and a half.
Jarrod Dyke: Good one, worse.
Grumpy Old Prop: Could have been zero.
Grumpy Old Prop: Anywho.
Jarrod Dyke: All right. um
Grumpy Old Prop: All that to say, don't start Andy Muirhead.
Jarrod Dyke: Moving on.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Jarrod Dyke: Don't do any of that. We have Jew and Chiefs. um For the Jew, I'll still back a kind of RA, although I'm not sure I'm super comfortable with the Jew front row. Maybe at home, it's more likely.
Jarrod Dyke: Jarlangi, Kanekarva, Munzor, Armstrong, Vula are both fine. Sucks, just you're kind of caught in that middle, but...
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep. yep
Jarrod Dyke: They're fine. They're not amazing. I would go FRD only on either of them. Would not go hunting for them on Super Brew. Masi, Loganamisi, Karawa, Leibu, and are all sits ah starts, excuse me. And um I don't care which halfback plays. I don't want either one of them to sit either Curvoli or Lamani right now until they prove otherwise.
Jarrod Dyke: For the Chiefs, Aiden Ross, Slater, which obviously means we're looking at Chiefs front row. ah Simon Parker's playing pretty well. Finnau is playing pretty well, so I'd give them a thumbs up. Jacob is prude-worthy right now, especially if you if you have him in FRD. I would not shy away from that.
Jarrod Dyke: um Center pairing that you and I have alluded to a couple times in the and the other pod, Quinn and ALB. Yep, Leroy Carter, hopefully he's back this week, and then Narawa as well.
Grumpy Old Prop: All
Grumpy Old Prop: right. Staying on the island. Cause I believe this game is in New Zealand. Um, Moana hosting the hurricanes.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, from one of, um, have an eight man who, um, depending on how long your memory is, you, you may recall this, you may not.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, but he, he played for the hurricanes for a little while and, um, he might want to, you know, have some things for his old mates. So, um, already civ is, is a good, good shout.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, Solomon, LA Mallow, and then, um, Kieran, uh, Tama Falau, um,
Jarrod Dyke: ye
Grumpy Old Prop: been scoring. Give him a look, even if it's against the seat. But those three, that's out of those three. Not really feeling it. um For the Hurricanes, their front row, their back row.
Grumpy Old Prop: um Roy Gard, who's been, i think, just the, i think he's been the best scoring nine and the comp. So, yeah. And we've talked about him, Godfrey. He's he's getting all those kicking points.
Grumpy Old Prop: ah Roll it.
Jarrod Dyke: Roll with it. Roll with it.
Grumpy Old Prop: Although he's a back three, which makes it little bit difficult, but it's
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. Well, I mean, it helps. And if you're an FRD, then you're not going to have a problem with it. But if you're talking super brew, that's that's tough.
Grumpy Old Prop: no.
Jarrod Dyke: Maybe I'd say maybe like look at like a maybe a Jacob Godfrey combo.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right. Something along those lines.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, that might be it. that's ah that's That should leave you some nice cash to spend elsewhere, too.
Grumpy Old Prop: And that's
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: So just an idea. so that Threw that out there for you. ah Toss and force. So Toss Front Row has been awesome of late. Parecki and Bell are the culprits for the most part.
Jarrod Dyke: Langie Gleason, as we talked about on the other pod as well. Charlie Gamble's a good play.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Rob Liotta. Huh? are we on the right one here? like yep he's he's playable so go ahead uh jake gordon's been pretty good a we're talking about you know the halfbacks i can't score for shit he's one of the few that can ed med sully if he's healthy for katie yep uh jorgensen and kellaway yes for the force right now i'm only looking at um the front row um Nick Dolly, if you haven't, Marley Pearson, Super Rugby, if you haven't grabbed him, go do it.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Like, in Super Brew, like, yeah, go do that right now. um Jeremy Williams, I'm still okay with it. ah Tisano, Donaldson, Paige, and then um i would consider Harry Potter an FRD only guy right now, not but not necessarily go towards that in Super Brew.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right. And last but not least, we have got Crusader Soasting the Reds. ah For the Crusaders, they're front row in an FRD. I don't know that I'd play any of them in Superbrew, but as a unit, they've they've done pretty well.
Jarrod Dyke: Right. Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: um Cullen Grace.
Grumpy Old Prop: Bobby Preston, try to take him off your team I don't know that you can.
Jarrod Dyke: yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: um And then Severus and Will Jordan in the back. Those are really the only ones I'd be i'd be looking at there. For the Reds, their front row um shouldn't be a problem in this match.
Grumpy Old Prop: um The fact that the Crusaders are are good on their side. McCrate, Wilson, yes and yes. mcdermott and linea are have been a pretty damn good combination this year and then fluke uh junkyard dog and fluke at agunu yeah there should be at least two of those should be on your team
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, we'll see if Luke's healthy. He came off little banged up last game.
Grumpy Old Prop: there's that too
Jarrod Dyke: um Those that play the official game, Cullen Grace is listed as a lock in that.
Jarrod Dyke: If you're in that, that's a small little trick for you to grab that. Because the he's actually a back rower by trade. I don't know why they put him in lock, honestly.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: I've only ever seen him play back row.
Grumpy Old Prop: Well, they had a they had a ah flanker at prop week one, so the fuck.
Jarrod Dyke: i Yeah, I heard that. was like, that's backwards.
Grumpy Old Prop: I used him. i was like, fuck it, I'll do it.
Jarrod Dyke: ah Yeah, right. so just This will work. This will work.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, not totally. All right, OT dubs. So my guy is at home. He's got a nice matchup against a team that he can definitely do damage against, and their play style will match the others quite well.
Jarrod Dyke: My starter is going to be Andrew Calloway from the Taz.
Grumpy Old Prop: Nice. um All of that kind of works for my guy, um except for the last bit. That's when I knew it wasn't wasn't mine. um
Jarrod Dyke: Oh, good.
Grumpy Old Prop: But my start of the week is Tane, Ed, Marataz versus the Force.
Jarrod Dyke: Ooh, all right. I considered him. I considered him heavily and I said, I'm going to this instead, but did consider him heavily. like
Jarrod Dyke: My silly week.
Grumpy Old Prop: Sits.
Jarrod Dyke: um I don't know where the hell he's gone. Will the real Rico Ioanni please stand up?
Grumpy Old Prop: you
Jarrod Dyke: Because I haven't got a clue where he's gone.
Grumpy Old Prop: you
Jarrod Dyke: He's extremely popular popular on Superbrew as well. He's the most highly selected center, which but I am slightly, if not very baffled by.
Jarrod Dyke: like hasn't scored shit.
Grumpy Old Prop: No.
Jarrod Dyke: What are his games so far? He's got nine, seven and a half, and three.
Jarrod Dyke: I mean, I've not put the curse on him.
Grumpy Old Prop: That's not good.
Jarrod Dyke: he's Sorry, Brummies fans. I've put the curse on him. He's going to fucking score hat trick against you. I'm sorry. But yeah, my sailor is going to be Rico Iwani.
Grumpy Old Prop: ah but I, I don't know. Maybe you want to just do that. Cause Akira kind of did, he kind of fell off hard.
Jarrod Dyke: he He did a little bit. Yeah, you're right.
Grumpy Old Prop: So maybe that's, i don't know. Anywho, my set of the week, um you know, we were talking about, uh, inexpensive versus cheap and this guy is cheap.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, just either, either, um, game, He's tempting to stay away from him. That's Che Fiyaki. Crusaders versus Reds. he's always It's always like, ah oh yeah, Reese and Jordan are going to get the attention and Fiyaki is going to have the game this week. and
Jarrod Dyke: Doesn't seem to ever come to fruition.
Grumpy Old Prop: No. Exactly. like Maybe once or twice last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: i think i feel like there was some like fool's gold there where i was like, oh maybe he could be that guy.
Jarrod Dyke: was a midfielder last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: No, he's not that guy.
Jarrod Dyke: No.
Grumpy Old Prop: He's not the guy who's going to take advantage of the other of the other getting the attention.
Jarrod Dyke: And...
Grumpy Old Prop: so
Jarrod Dyke: The only save for him might be that he might do some kicking, and that would be for FRD only, honestly.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: So that might be the only place it would be worth the roll the dice, but I just don't see it working that well right now.
Grumpy Old Prop: <unk> Put it this way. You're not in a good way if you're doing that.
Jarrod Dyke: No, probably not. He might be like me, who's sitting on a donut at 0-3.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oof.
Jarrod Dyke: All right. So that's that.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm two and one, but I don't think I've beaten a real opponent because I had the
Jarrod Dyke: This is this.
Jarrod Dyke: All the two not.
Grumpy Old Prop: of the
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. Folks, if you're an FRD and want to get on it.
Grumpy Old Prop: but had the one team that was the...
Jarrod Dyke: well we have We have spots for you.
Grumpy Old Prop: Well, I had the one by basically by opponent, and then I had Anton, so it's not like my wins have counted for much.
Jarrod Dyke: Ha ha ha ha
Grumpy Old Prop: I've been pretty much like, yeah, there're they're wins going into the game.
Jarrod Dyke: but thing
Grumpy Old Prop: I knew I was going to win, so...
Grumpy Old Prop: Love you, bud.
Jarrod Dyke: he'll take it in stride folks don't you worry all right okay so that's that's what we got for everyone today
Grumpy Old Prop: He's going to kill me.
Jarrod Dyke: enjoy the weekend a big weekend in ro we especially in in six nations um we'll catch you guys next week we appreciate everyone for listening keep your eyes out for the sheets have a good one everyone cheers
Grumpy Old Prop: Later.
