Introduction and Fantasy Corner
00:00:02
Speaker
It is. The Fantasy Robias. 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 gambled that. Collusion. Collusion.
00:00:27
Speaker
Hey, everybody, welcome back. It is the fancy Ruby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. It's fantasy time. It's the fantasy corner. Let's go. I've got myself my second beverage of the night because it's that kind of night. Hmm. There we go. Yeah, I was kind of I was kind of half in the bag last week. I have no idea why. Same same exact beer. And I was just like out of it. I guess a little bit of a step up for me. It's a.
00:00:55
Speaker
with the tall boy of an eight percenter. So I saw somebody on Twitter say something along the lines of I want a tall boy because I want two beers, but the second one I want warm. I mean, yes, but also like I don't have to get a second one. Yeah, that being the advantage of that. And if I was even if I really want a cold second beer, I could just get a koozie, but I don't like.
00:01:21
Speaker
I'm lazy. So I didn't, you know, there's that, there's that whole thing as well.
Champions League Division One Recap
00:01:26
Speaker
Um, all right, let's do champion actually recap division one. Um, we did get the points corrections. Thankfully. Thank you. Thank you to FRD for working your ass off and getting that done because there were some people definitely didn't affect our league. I don't think, but there were definitely people depending on some of those scores. Like there was some big numbers that came in and I was like, Ooh, that would have definitely been bad.
00:01:48
Speaker
I, I'm, I'm very happy for slight home getting his, his correct score and Alex Mitchell like that helped it look respectable. Like again, I was, oh, well, not again. I was, I had the third highest points in the league. I lost because I played the person with the first highest. Right. That'll happen some days, but still like that got me points. And that's, that's big for certainly for later in the year too. When, you know, the points differential comes in the play. I need that 19 from Alex Mitchell, not, not just like a five or whatever it was.
00:02:18
Speaker
Yeah, especially when it comes to sneaking into a playoff potentially. Exactly. Or going to the SACO, which is less than awesome. So for Division 1, Justin was able to beat Ben. Big scores from both. George fell to Duncan. Duncan put up another good number as well.
00:02:38
Speaker
It was looking close for me and Carrick and then the corrections made it a little bit wider of a gap But still was probably the closest matchup of the weekend for us Carrick got the better of me Carrick and I have got some pretty good record going on I think we're like almost dead even as far as
00:02:54
Speaker
win totals between the two. And then our new guy, our new guy Coba spell to Mark and also put up one of the worst scores of the weekend. Yeah. Only worse than George. Only better than George by like a point. Can I also say this about Duncan? Um, that, that, no, no, he's a great guy. Um, he hit like, you know, I talk about how much better this Champions League has made me. Um,
00:03:20
Speaker
I feel like Duncan is maybe most improved by far, like year after year, he's getting better. And I both like and hate to see- And he was already pretty good, which was a terrifying thought as well. Right, right. Exactly. I mean, he was never a slouch, but fuck if he's getting to be like,
00:03:45
Speaker
I got to watch out for like he's getting to the top of the list. He's the guy I got to watch out for. So I'm just saying, Duncan, good job. Yeah. Heads up. All right.
Division Two Matches Discussion
00:03:56
Speaker
And then in Division two, the newly formed Division two, we had.
00:04:04
Speaker
I believe it was Luke and Larry. Larry was able to win and what was kind of a pillow fight in the 50 odd, although I think this is pre corrections as well. So just keep that in mind. Terry won. Terry beat Alex. Alex was a new boy and put up a pretty good score, considering Alex got hold of the team late as well. So credit to Alex for managing as best as he could and put up a decent number. Yeah. Right. Um, Franco and stands a dozen is that.
00:04:32
Speaker
Oh, that's John Franco and John Franco. Franco took care of John. That was probably the tightest matchup in their division for the weekend. And then, well, yikes. We had a bit of a slopper knocker. Stu just smashed Sophia. Almost quadrupled the score. Oh, what the fuck? What was the score?
00:04:53
Speaker
one ninety eight fifty one. And I think this is a free correction, but so it's still going to be a win, but it looks pretty bad right now. Well, like one ninety eight. What are you going to do? There's just go hands up, hands up and say, OK, I lost and reset for next week. She'll be. She'll be number. She was number one on priority this week. I promise you that much. Yeah. You know, you delete the game film on that one. Yeah, definitely.
00:05:22
Speaker
Definitely. Um, but yeah, so, and like we said, we said before, we're going to make it, make it a definitive point for a D2 and make sure that we don't neglect those lovely people over there. Cause, um, I think we did that. Um, and that was mostly on me. All right. Um, we are diving into start sit now. And I think you are. Yeah. You have the nine o'clock game on Saturday.
Fantasy Rugby Player Picks
00:05:46
Speaker
All right. No Friday rugby this week. Boo. I think I moved. That's why maybe that's why.
00:05:52
Speaker
All right. So anyway, since hosting the exiles, this one is just points, raining points from the heavens for the saints, the hosts. I got to say, at this point, get anyone from nine on out, you're great.
00:06:12
Speaker
I'm not certain about any of the forwards right now. I know you're high on him. And look, I'm high on Hinkley because of the shit that I saw last year. Truck had a good game. I'm not trying to take anything away from that. He scored very well. I'm not sure that you're going to see that consistently. That's all.
00:06:36
Speaker
So it's a, I'm not shying away from them, but if you have another option, truck is the one guy who is like, no, you're, you're a solid starter. You're, you're going to play him even if, you know, it is inconsistent, but you, you play him for the matches like this last one to me. If he was more consistent, he'd be like, yeah, Oh yeah. He'd be like a first rounder and your guy on the other side for the, for the Irish. It's kind of a different story because
00:07:04
Speaker
They've got the front row. They're a top quality front row, as they showed this past week. And Basham is showing well. I just landed him in one of our leagues. I can't remember which at the moment. And Pearson are two guys who, the first match aside, again, it was week one. Got to flush it a little bit. And then Ben White, who I've been talking about for, feels like years now at this point, showed well. That's why he should have been one of the starters all along anyway.
00:07:35
Speaker
And then basically everybody else, you know, the 10, the centers, the back three. Northampton's defense is, you know, they started last year really strong, but other than that, they are weak as fuck. So, you know, look for the 10 to have a big day. Right, yeah, that piece of crap. All right, bath and sale.
00:08:01
Speaker
so I promise I'm not gonna read every name that I put in my column, but there are gonna be a few names that pop up here. Pierce Francis for Bath.
00:08:10
Speaker
Midfield by designation, played 10 last week, had the tee, worked out quite well. I think he was like third highest scoring midfielder or something like that on the week. If that continues to be the case, I see no reason not to keep playing him. If he plays his usual midfield spot, I'm a little worried, but if he has that 10 shirt and he's kicking, yep, go for it. Yeah, as long as Orlando Bailey's not on the field, I assume he's gonna be the kicker, so Yahtzee.
00:08:39
Speaker
Tom DeGlamville, bad week last week. I think he'll bounce back and hopefully we see his skills. I hope this isn't like the new coaching style because that would just make me very disappointed to see Guy with that type of talent just not be really unleashed.
00:08:59
Speaker
So we'll, we'll ride up for one more week. Otherwise we're going to start looking for backup plans. Cam red path. I'm a little worried about because of the number of shirt he's wearing. And we just haven't quite seen the old cam red path for a little bit. So until we do, I think I just need to shy away from that. And I know midfield's a top spot to find starters, but yeah, I just wish we could have seen this match because we can say, Oh, you know, we could really understand why people score the way they score. Yeah. That would, that would be helpful. I agree with that.
00:09:27
Speaker
So, you know, we're kind of flying a little blind on that one. Yeah. But I agree. I agree with everything you said. I just for now. For now, we'll go with it until we see otherwise for the shocks, war or quirk, raffy quirk or gust war. I'm OK with.
00:09:45
Speaker
Beth, you know, let Randall loose a little bit and Quirk obviously over war in terms of where I would rank them. But right. And I don't think, you know, war will quite do what Raffi Quirk can. Yeah. But I know Quirk Quirk might be another week or two away. So we'll see. Yeah. He had picked up an injury. That's why he didn't talk with England this summer. But speaking of midfielders that were for where we need help, Tom Roebuck, he scored what, 28 and he didn't even got down.
00:10:16
Speaker
That is absurd. Midfielder, out of position, playing wing, and he's picked up where he left off.
Match Previews: Harlequins vs Saracens & Lester vs Newcastle
00:10:23
Speaker
So if he's in, he's a thumbs up for me right now until proven otherwise. Go ahead. And then on the side of the coin. So last week's performance from Bristol might tell you that you can play sales front row and feel okay about it.
00:10:39
Speaker
I'm not feeling that good about it because that front row in Bristol is very special, especially with Sinclair and Genge and Thacker and basically any of the other hookers that they have there in Bristol. Sales a little different story. I need to start seeing it.
00:10:54
Speaker
I didn't see a whole lot of running meters, uh, listed for the likes of like Ocker. So that has me worried about what they're doing with them. So until I see it, I'm going to change my front row out entirely. I mean, you got to figure Sanderson knows the value of a running front row. So yeah. So, but for now, until I, until I see better, I'm going to, I'm going to find them for a little while. All right then.
00:11:19
Speaker
On to what could be the match of the weekend. Um, the Harlequins hosting Saracens. Um, but the thing is, remember, you know, everyone else had their week one this past week and got that the shit out of their system. Um, there's one team that did not, and they were part of this match. So it's going to be kind of a catches catch can for Saracens. And also you got to wonder what, you know, what they're bringing the full noise. Are they allowed to like, how, how is that going to work? Um,
00:11:49
Speaker
But either way, you know what you're getting from Saracens is a stout defense. So yeah, the Harlequin's front row this week, I think is probably a bad week for them. I'd sit them. I'd expect less from those flankers. I mean, they're good. I just picked up Kenningham in one league. But that's because it's like a kind of a fill-in for this week, but somebody I want to keep for a while. In other words, I didn't pick them up just for this week because I'm not expecting points.
00:12:17
Speaker
And Dom Brand again, well, I mean, you start him because you're still going to get well over 10, but you're not going to get like 20 or whatever you got this past week. Not likely. Yeah. You can be fairly confident in pretty much everybody 9 through 15 for Quinn's because they'll still get there. It's really the forwards that are somewhat light scoring as it is at times. They're going to get shut down by Saris.
00:12:42
Speaker
So for the speaking of Saris their front row isn't is a start Theo tizard, you know tizards playing in this one and you know, he's showing up so likely yeah Yeah, this is why you you know, you drafted him for a match like this and to start out your season Ben Earl Billy V. I'm less confident in but at the same time
00:13:05
Speaker
You play him, you got to play him. I don't know if Faz is playing, so I'm not going to recommend him, but I would recommend him if he starts. But laws definitely if, you know, if laws either way, but absolutely if there's no Feral, yes, Faz. Maylands, yes. Good, like good. OK, I'm starting him in my league. I'm assuming he's playing 15 and absolutely hoping that they just like unleash him instead of.
00:13:33
Speaker
They've had they've had him on the chain in the backyard for for a whole year this last year. Yeah. You know, that's not why he got to go around for 24 hours in his kit after the champions. Right. That was because he was allowed to run and not just kick the ball back. Let him do that. And I'm hoping that happens. And so that's why I'm starting him. Sifinans, as we all know, can't as we all know.
00:14:00
Speaker
Um, notes from this match. I have Danny care ranked as the number one half back going into this week. Likely they did not do well against half-backs last year. And that's what, that's why I'm going off that. And I actually have plenty of conferences in better. I'll use my number two list forward. Hmm.
00:14:15
Speaker
So I started the weakest from this match. Well, there you go. All right. Um, Lester and Newcastle Lester going back to, um, going back home and Newcastle getting on the road for the first time this season, um, for the tigers, uh, Freddie airlines, uh, the back three right now is kind of a concern for me for Lester. Um, Newcastle did show that they can let the back three run a little bit. Freddie's the most confident for me right now in terms of the fact that he's developing into that. And.
00:14:44
Speaker
Obviously he's going to be there nailed on fullback. Should he play? So for right now, that's the one I have the most confidence in others. I'm really shaky on. And I know there's, I know there's a possibility for a lot of them, but I don't have a ton of confidence in them at the moment.
00:14:59
Speaker
I'm going to give another thumbs up to Andrew Lieberberg again. Don Braden had a day last week, has a number eight. Lieberberg had his own day last week. I see no reason why it's going to change as long as he's wearing that eight shirt. Yeah. Lieberberg is out. He's officially out of the doghouse of I got to see it consistently and into the, no, you're playing. Just playing. It's well done. And even when VC comes back, I think he'll still be
00:15:26
Speaker
Yeah, you might be worthy. Yup. On the other side of the coin, right now, Jack Van Portly is the only nine I want anything to do with for Lester. Youngs and Wiggles, nah, just a big old bucket of no. I don't see it from either one of them. Youngs might have been at one point, but I don't see, I didn't even see it from him at all. And I really haven't seen it from for a while. So Wiggles gets to get is who he is. So that's a no as well. So until
00:15:54
Speaker
we see Van Portfley, I would not expect much from halfbacks wearing a Tiger shirt. Other side of the coin for the Newcastle Falcons, we talked about both these guys on the previous pod, Barton and Nordly Calametti. I like both of them. So either one of them plays, give them a thumbs up. They're both more runners than Townsend and Maunder are by far. So we're going to give them, we're going to give them a go right now.
00:16:19
Speaker
Also, Newcastle front row is a thumbs up, because how can you not with George McWiggin? Because he just seems to find the trial line every time. And Beaumire is helpful, too, as well. Especially if he's going to be playing seven, which I don't think he's going to be, but. But he could. It's just the same. It's just the same. Very good. They've done it once and he went really well. Yeah, he didn't do so bad. So on the other side of the coin, FRD has won Nathan Earl down for I think 90.
00:16:51
Speaker
By the way, when I put out the stats, it's going to be the stuff off FRD because they seem to be more on top of the game than Prem. Prem doesn't have all the stats. They have Nathan down for 94 meters right now.
00:17:05
Speaker
Damn. Most of them came on that intercept try. Yeah. So it's like the LRZ. Right. But that's that's a different ability between the two of them. Earl kind of got handed that although nice set of hands on him to scoop it up and make sure he didn't knock it on. But the same at the same time, I don't think he's going to be given that type of gift this game. So I'm going to go shy away from him and find other answers for OBS this week. That's just my opinion.
00:17:34
Speaker
And then up to the former Rico, now, whatever, CBS Arena, WASPs hosting Bristol.
WASPs vs Bristol & Worcester vs Exeter Preview
00:17:44
Speaker
This is a battle of the, well, so again, I think I had Bristol ranked number one for a reason. Their front row, yes. And yeah, their front row is going to be key and it will be key in this match. But anyway, for the WASPs,
00:18:02
Speaker
I'm not, you know, I'm not seeing too many bright spots here, unfortunately. So, um, the front row. Yes. Um, Willis, Barbary. Yes. Yes. Not so much shields. Um, again, even though like he scored a try and only had like five points. Yeah, it wasn't much if I remember right. Um, did he get carded though? Nope.
00:18:21
Speaker
Okay. Oh, that's right. So I mean that there's your thing if you only like, you get five points for a try and you had like 5.4 so she'll love them just doesn't do much in the scoring, especially not when Willis is the Barbaries are around that like they're going to eat points.
00:18:37
Speaker
Whoever's playing nine, yes. Atkinson, yes. I'm not completely sold on Berger yet just because of the one thing. But he's like, if you have him on your team, you're fucking using him, right? Likely, yeah. At this point, yeah, until he does you dirty. Yeah, so he's not a sit. He's started.
00:18:58
Speaker
But just be wary. And then the outside backs are kind of a coin flow at this point. Who the fuck knows what they're going to do? Yeah, I'm joking. On the other side, Bristol front row, as we've mentioned, absafucking lutely. Yes. Whoever's at nine, whoever's at 10, Piers and Pietal. And you got to see who the wings might be. But outside of them. So I posed this question to you earlier off.
00:19:23
Speaker
Um, recording, but is Chris Vui going to be a victim of, of Alice Ganj? Like a lot of there's, there's two sides and officers, two sides of it.
00:19:35
Speaker
because there could be, he's, you know, Gens is going to eat what Booey had or there's, Gens is going to open up space for Booey. Right. Which one is it? And it's kind of, and right now, you know, most locks with a pulse are worth a damn. So, and he's one of the better ones. So for me, I have Booey ranked in the top five this week. I think he'll be okay. Should I be proven wrong, then we'll start considering, you know, dropping him down. But for now, consider him, continue to consider him a top five lock.
00:20:05
Speaker
Yeah, and I would start him. I'm going to start him. It's just a question of, you have to ask that question now and going forward because he only had like four points or something, something small for Vui and maybe it was even less than that.
00:20:21
Speaker
So that's why I'm like, you saw a lot of games running and usually, you know, Chris Vue is kind of getting some of those lines, but now we got to, um, yeah, but then it's one game again that we didn't get to watch. So maybe they tried to get in the ball and, and, and that got shut down. So we'll see. We'll see.
00:20:36
Speaker
OK. Oh, yeah, this is the Sunday match. Worcester and Exeter. Yeesh. See, this is not what you want. This is not what you want your national broadcast to be. Right. So it does six ways, which will be nice. Hopefully we see lots of bums and seats. That'd be good. And then other seats as well.
00:20:57
Speaker
One Jamie Shilcock, if you haven't noticed, he's actually pretty good and usually part of the best back three that Worcester can put together. I really like him a lot. He's growing every year and every match. He could end up with the tee in this match as well. Just kind of keep that in mind. So even if he's not putting up a ton meters-wise and line break-wise and whatnot, if he's kicking,
00:21:20
Speaker
that becomes very, very valuable very quickly. So just keep your eyes on that, because I think it's just Owen Williams, because I would bet the farm Billy Stroll is missing this match. And then likewise, Ollie Lawrence. We forget! Ollie Lawrence is a very good rugby player and also plays in that Magic 13 shirt that we really, really like, especially as a fantasy owner. So I know, you know, his opponent across the way is a little meh, but if it's against Old Man Witten, I would back him 100%.
00:21:50
Speaker
go ahead. The other side of the coin right now, I'm a little worried about like the seven shirt for Worcester. You know, it was Neil, but even still like Hill or whoever else it might be, maybe Kavecic, whatever. I'm a little worried about it. So I would be very cautious to whoever puts on that seven shirt because
00:22:08
Speaker
just doesn't seem like it's getting points at the moment for Worcester. So that's my concern at the moment. For Exeter, Joe Simmons played at fullback last week. If he's at fullback again, I have him as potentially the number one flyout this week. Like he is, yeah, that could be money, money, money. Just a couple line breaks against Leicester.
00:22:31
Speaker
from like, he was doing things that last really staunch defense at that. So yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. And now it's that's what I'm implying. Sorry. Yeah, I'm not obviously not saying it very well. But yeah, no, that like, against Worcester, it's a little bit of a different story. Those holes will like the holes, the few holes that that Simmons found and exploited will be plentiful this week. Right. And he'll still have the tea as well. So as we mentioned, Michelle Koch, very valuable that
00:23:00
Speaker
Ollie Woodburn, I think is the better, the best of the wings that played this past weekend. Sayans, Facundo. Facundo didn't get a lot of time though. Yeah, if you see Hodge and Facundo at wearing the same shirt that Woodburn was this past weekend, yes, play them. Yep.
00:23:16
Speaker
Other than that, that is it. But yeah, I like Woodburn. If he's in the same shirt again this week, I would bet the farm. You'll see some good point return for him. Exeter's nines, once again, are completely useless in fantasy. Shocker of the day. Modern Townsend aren't worth it. And they don't scoot. They don't do much other than just get the ball and get rid of it. Valuable to a team in general, not valuable to your fantasy team. Right. Great distributors, but that's about all they do. Yeah. And that doesn't do anything here in this format. Sorry.
00:23:45
Speaker
That the bell, you know, just doesn't do it, man. What does do it is the other weeks, though. Yes. That's why that's why we do it. Boing. You got your start of the week.
Player Picks of the Week
00:24:00
Speaker
Yeah, I mentioned mine was was from my match of the week. And this is more for, you know, is the they're playing a team that is having their shit show week.
00:24:15
Speaker
This player already showed that he is. You're starting him no matter what, but still, this guy is going to be the the play of the certainly the play of the week because it Saracen's like to kick the ball and this gentleman likes to catch that ball and then run with it.
00:24:31
Speaker
For at least like you know, 10 meters or so before doing anything with it. And that's hey, that's me at money in the bank right there Yeah, Taron Green. I expect to have a huge day whether or not he scores. He will his the points will Absolutely be there. That's one of your like just just put him down for 20 and then anything more that he gets is Anything unless he kind of owes you a little bit because yeah Getting that 20 more pick up the phone after that one. Yeah Dude what happened? Yeah, the only way the only way that that doesn't happen in my mind is if Saris
00:25:01
Speaker
You know run with the ball. Yeah, we'll see we'll see if that happens We shall see My start of the week I've also mentioned Playing it out of position but also a position that's very beneficial to him Points on the table galore and I don't know why it won't happen and even if he's playing his regular position I think he's gonna it's gonna be great. My start of the week is Xers number 10 Joe Simmons
00:25:30
Speaker
Yeah, I'm fine with that. I haven't been one of my leads. I like that. My set of the week is from one of your matches. And it's a good player on a bad team who had a good score this past week. But that is going to be, I think, one of those
00:25:51
Speaker
You're going to get that when you get that, but you can't expect it every week. And also somebody who I'm even more mad at Eddie Jones about because they made him that he made him change clubs and then has never once even looked his way again.
00:26:07
Speaker
And unfortunately, yes, Ben Spencer is my, my set of the week. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. He did have a good week, but that snipe and try was great, but it's just something we see enough for him, unfortunately. And you're playing sail and they're just defensive dicks and you're not getting anything. You're not getting that on. Sanderson's going to have a clue about him too as well.
00:26:26
Speaker
A little bit. A little bit. Yeah, unhelpful in many ways. Bring him back to fucking Sarasota. Yeah. My Of The Weeks have a theme. I've also gone with another guy that usually dons the 10-shirt. I don't love this play in general, and he's playing a really tough defense once again, and it's not going to be on his home patch this time. So I don't foresee anything super good going his way. So my City of the Week is Newcastle Falcons number 10, Brett Conon.
00:26:55
Speaker
Didn't do awful this week. Didn't do great this week, but didn't do awful this week on his own patch against the team that likes to play, play a little loose and a little open. Oh, I, if you're expecting anything in double digits for Brett Conner this week, you are sorely mistaken in my opinion. He's going to be, um, he's going to be one of those unstartable flyhaps ranked for me. He's going to be out of the top 10.
00:27:17
Speaker
Right. Absolutely. Certainly. You should probably be out of the top 12. Yeah, honestly. I mean, if Lloyd Evans plays full back again. Oh, they're on by. They're on by. Yeah. Damn it. I don't know. I'm sure there's a backup. Some backup. Yeah. All right. That makes four or five points that you if you need someone, you need him. Not. Yeah, exactly. Maybe. Maybe Freddie Burns plays 10 and Copper plays 10. There you go. Something like that. All right. Anyway.
Pick'em Game Results & Future Predictions
00:27:48
Speaker
The pick them mean to choose anything different last week. So we're even we're even in first place. All right. All right. Northampton and London Irish. I'm going to go with the guys going back to home and the gardens.
00:28:07
Speaker
I'm going with the Irish. I also think Dan Bigger is playing in this match, so that's a big one for me. I'm betting on Bigger not playing. That's where I am with that. If he's not playing, then it's Irish. Yeah, you might be right about that, but I'm going to go that he's going. This is going to be hard to do. Bath and sale, because we didn't get to see either one of these teams play.
00:28:30
Speaker
No, but I'm going with sale. You are? All right. Well, yeah, maybe I'll get I feel like Beth got up for a Darby right now, but now they're going home. Yeah, and sale are coming to town. Sale are just like, yeah, we'll find out. I am going to pick bath and it might be ugly or it might be entertaining. I don't know. OK, I'm going to pick that there just now. Quins and Saracens. I think I'm taking the coins on this. I am, too.
00:28:57
Speaker
I am too. I don't like the fact that this is week one for Saris. Right. And they're playing the Quinn's. If it was somebody else, maybe. Maybe. But not this team. Actually, in most other teams, I take Sarisons, but not against Quinn's. No, not against this team. Unless Saris pull their head out of their house and decide to do as you suggested, run. Right. And they're in somehow mid-season form. Not happening. Especially since they had their prem cup game canceled the other week, which would have been a warm-up game for them.
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah, yes. Yeah, that's right. Not helpful. They're going to play the Saints babies. Yep. Not helpful. Lester, Newcastle, Tigers. Yeah, Lester. Wasps and Bristol. If Rhino's loose again, I'm taking Bristol. I'm just taking Bristol in general, because even if Rhino is not loose,
00:29:47
Speaker
Someone else is. I think also hopefully Pat Lamb plays AJ this week and that'll result in something better. And I know Bristol won, but like Chidi was poo from the numbers. And if I'm either way, if I'm in his position, I'm going one, two, one, two until until someone grabs that jersey and he didn't grab it. So give me a shot.
00:30:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's what, that's what should happen if I, you know, in my opinion. Yeah. No, I don't disagree. I like Pat Lamb and I will abide by whatever he does, but I, I might grumble about if AJ isn't started. Yeah, same. Was there an Exeter? Sorry. Exeter. Trust. Just like last week, nobody will jump up and down more than me if was to pull this off, but certainly I'm going to go with Exeter for now.
00:30:40
Speaker
Yes, I'll be rooting for Worcester totally as fucking annoying as that is to do not and not because of them just because Scoring tries god damn it Score you fuckers, right?
00:30:57
Speaker
All right, cool. That is our fantasy podning. My rankings will be up sometime tomorrow. I got about halfway through them and then had to put it on pause for life reasons. Most of the loose forwards are done. I think I got to do is midfield and outside back.
00:31:17
Speaker
Yeah, two sale players are leading certain positions, believe it or not though. Yeah, in terms of the points scored. Oh yeah, that I believe. Knowing the scores. Yes. Yeah. In terms of how I think it's going to be at least. And then obviously I'll publish the team news related ones as well because we won't get team news until Thursday, Friday. So I won't post those ones out until then. Those are free by the way. So those are not behind the paywall. I've been putting those out for free. No issue with that.
00:31:47
Speaker
If you want to see my babbling, you're going to have to pay for it. I'm sorry. I'm not letting any of you fuckers see my writing until I feel comfortable with it. You want to embarrass the hell out of me, you're paying for it. Exactly. Like Philadelphia, you pay your money, you can boo. Exactly.
00:32:06
