Introduction and Pet Anecdotes
00:00:29
Jarrod Dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Ruby Gates. My name is Jared Dyke.
00:00:33
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm Ben Glauser.
00:00:34
Jarrod Dyke
that was Rocky, if you heard that one. Or was that Ruby?
00:00:39
Grumpy Old Prop
i i think it was Rocky. I think Ruby was ah so Rocky's asleep next to me and Ruby's hanging out. And I think. youre
00:00:46
Jarrod Dyke
I'm sure that was the one that's not asleep.
00:00:48
Grumpy Old Prop
I think. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She I think she got a little like just so startled Rocky in her sleep.
00:00:53
Jarrod Dyke
Great.
00:00:54
Grumpy Old Prop
Rocky had something to say about it.
00:00:54
Jarrod Dyke
but Rocky looks up and says, thanks, Dick.
00:00:56
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah get the fuck out of here.
00:00:58
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, anyway, it's fancy time.
00:00:59
Grumpy Old Prop
and ah but ah so A surly prop who knew?
00:01:00
Jarrod Dyke
So we're going to dive into Wakey wakey.
00:01:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm. Hmm.
00:01:04
Jarrod Dyke
Um, okay. Let's go to, we're gonna look at the results and final results of our champions cup groups.
Champions Cup and D2 League Overview
00:01:13
Jarrod Dyke
Um, so Cobus won ours. He actually had a yellow hat on the weekend too. So good on him.
00:01:18
Jarrod Dyke
Um, Stu came very close to to defending his crown. He lost by about 20-odd. Pretty good. um Mark, myself are the top four. Duncan, Alex, George, and Justin, quite frankly, didn't try. Actually, he didn't try because he he had zero.
00:01:35
Jarrod Dyke
so He gets the bottom wooden in a wooden spoon, rightly so.
00:01:41
Grumpy Old Prop
um For D2, Matt wins. Also had the yellow hat, um but it wasn't much of a... He won by over 100 points in the and overall, so um well done.
00:01:50
Jarrod Dyke
Damn. Hold on, buddy.
00:01:54
Grumpy Old Prop
ah Paul takes number two. I came in third. Barney in third. So in fourth, I'm sorry, ah Paul finished... about 30 points higher than me overall.
00:02:05
Grumpy Old Prop
And I finished about 40 some points ahead of Barty.
00:02:05
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Okay.
00:02:09
Grumpy Old Prop
um And then about a 50 point drop to Franco and um about another 50 point drop to Luke coming in sixth. Also had the spoon for the weekend.
00:02:21
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Well, good news is six still gets you points right now because since they weren't, and since Ollie didn't participate the time.
00:02:25
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Right.
00:02:29
Jarrod Dyke
Hey, congratulations. You get points automatically.
00:02:32
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:02:33
Jarrod Dyke
Good for you. ah right.
Fantasy Premiership Discussion
00:02:36
Jarrod Dyke
So that leads us into, we're going go into right into pick them.
00:02:41
Jarrod Dyke
Fantasy premiership. And then we're going to, we got, uh, no, yeah. Sorry. I said pick them. Then I, I either need another beer or I need to stop.
00:02:41
Grumpy Old Prop
ah Starts it.
00:02:46
Grumpy Old Prop
You did.
00:02:50
Jarrod Dyke
i don't know which one. Um,
00:02:51
Grumpy Old Prop
Yes.
00:02:53
Jarrod Dyke
So anyway, that leads us to ship bags and sail playing this weekend. So we'll start with that ah for the ship bags. Really, the only person you're looking for is like Hodge or Brown Bampo.
00:03:08
Jarrod Dyke
That's it. Like, nothing else really needs to be fucked around with, let's be honest. Because also remember, i think they give you ah either a hefty number of transfers or an unlimited number of transfers because this will carry on into the semifinals and finals for Super Brew as well.
00:03:22
Jarrod Dyke
So just keep that in mind.
00:03:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:03:24
Jarrod Dyke
um But really, the only one I have a ton of interest in is Hodge or Brown Pampo, so that's that for them. ah Sale are a little different
Player Recommendations and Strategies
00:03:31
Jarrod Dyke
on the other hand. um the front Most of the front row guys, like Asher Opoku, Forjor, Rod,
00:03:38
Jarrod Dyke
Cowan Dickey, yep. um Yes, either Curry. ah Go for it. Not interested in the scrum halves. Ford. um Maybe Maasi White, if you want to get cute and so in the midfield. that's ah That could be kind of a left field play, but that's about it.
00:03:58
Jarrod Dyke
And then Roebuck and Carpenter, really, where that's at. like don't Don't get tricked by Dupree or War. Please, stop.
00:04:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. No.
00:04:06
Jarrod Dyke
Just stop that. That's just plain silly.
00:04:08
Grumpy Old Prop
no um Then off to Gloucester hosting Northampton. um Gloucester is always strong at lock and especially centers. Arthur Clark, Freddie Thomas, yes, yes.
00:04:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Thomas Williams, you fucking better have him on your team. um Max alone, Seb Atkinson, solid plays this week, very solid plays this week.
00:04:23
Jarrod Dyke
Right. Mm-mm.
00:04:28
Grumpy Old Prop
um And Wade also could have a great match at wing. ah For the Saints, again, expecting that change lineup as we talked about. Their guys have had a rough season.
00:04:39
Grumpy Old Prop
um They're not really playing for anything. um Might as well get some rest. The only thing that I could see is ah Henry Pollock might be out for blood if he's playing. um And the back three still might be an option, um especially, you know, depending on on the league you're in.
00:04:54
Grumpy Old Prop
um Like for our our our fantasy draft league, the the the um beta testing we're doing, I'm, you know, if if Freeman's playing, I'm absolutely putting him in.
00:05:01
Jarrod Dyke
oh yeah.
00:05:05
Jarrod Dyke
Right. That's true.
00:05:08
Grumpy Old Prop
But as you said, for some of these teams, it's time to start, you know, preparing either way for the, um, for the semis, or for, you know, for the, for the next round.
00:05:08
Jarrod Dyke
There you go
00:05:17
Jarrod Dyke
go. Right.
00:05:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:05:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, so let me see, hold on.
00:05:22
Jarrod Dyke
There's that.
00:05:23
Grumpy Old Prop
Well, while you're here, while you go onto your next team, uh, next match, I will check out to see what the, uh,
00:05:29
Jarrod Dyke
Sounds good. can do that um for so we got tigers and falcons it's gonna be a lot tigers and very few falcons um nikki smith ollie chesham um liebenberg rafael yeah that's it those are goes bam portfleet if he's in yes um pollard yep um i don't have a ton of interest in any the senators matter of fact i think Joe Woodward that's owned like way too much right now because he's been bad the last few weeks.
00:05:59
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:06:00
Jarrod Dyke
Yep, it's him. I don't love it. um Honestly, he's been playing-wise fine. Fantasy-wise, bleh. So there you go. The difference between what you see on the field and what happens on the fantasy columns there.
00:06:11
Jarrod Dyke
And then any of those back back three guys, Haskell Collins, Radlan, Freddie Stewart. Yep, i'm um I'm good with all of them. On the other side,
00:06:23
Jarrod Dyke
I only want Blumeyer, everyone else, Pine. that's That's a nice, you know, I think they call it a contrarian play for while everyone's picking other guys. that Everyone's like, no, there's no way I'm touching a Newcastle player. Blumeyer might be the one worth it.
00:06:38
Jarrod Dyke
And that's it.
00:06:41
Grumpy Old Prop
um So four um ah for clarity, it's eight you get eight transfers in the the semis and then another um eight
00:06:48
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:06:53
Grumpy Old Prop
in the in the finals.
00:06:55
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, so if you have guys that you know are not making it to the next round, like you know it, like Saints, Quinns, um if you have either of the guys I mentioned for the two bottom teams, might need to consider shipping them out just for the sake of not wanting to burn too many otherwise.
00:07:02
Grumpy Old Prop
h
00:07:08
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:07:15
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:07:16
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. So there's that. Then on to, with that knowledge being dropped, ah Bristol versus Harlequins. Um, Bristol. So Bristol may may move on. So their team, their guys, you maybe you want to keep in there, especially, you know, whoever's hooking um should get a good look.
00:07:35
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:07:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Fitz Harding, Bill Mata are excellent. Harry Randall, yes. Apparently I like saying go for the the the scrum halves, but um I guess for good reason.
00:07:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Benhard Jansa could have a very good good match here. um And Ibetoye, this is like prime territory for him to put a try or two over. um For the Quinns, just fuck with the forwards. don't Don't bother with that.
00:08:02
Grumpy Old Prop
um They just haven't been good. Even their best forwards have not been scoring that great in fantasy, and they're not going anywhere.
00:08:06
Jarrod Dyke
No.
00:08:08
Grumpy Old Prop
Just don't don't bother. um Marcus Beard or Northmore, um yes, and then Caden Murley. I think that's one exception. He can be a guy you you you keep in this match and then trade him out for the for the playoffs.
00:08:25
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:08:25
Grumpy Old Prop
Because again, you get eight.
00:08:26
Grumpy Old Prop
There's there's you know that's that's it he's a um yeah there's room and he's what, six mil?
00:08:28
Jarrod Dyke
There is room.
00:08:32
Grumpy Old Prop
um So that's but that's a fairly sizable chunk.
00:08:33
Jarrod Dyke
Sounds right.
00:08:36
Grumpy Old Prop
um and And he's not going to um he's not going eat up too much salary. He's not too much of it a cheap option, but there's ah there's going to be someone to transfer right in at that about that cost.
00:08:42
Jarrod Dyke
nope
00:08:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
Match Previews and Player Highlights
00:08:48
Jarrod Dyke
yep yeah not wrong all right and then last thing Bath and Terry so we talked about it um that you know Bath are beat up after last week then they'll they also probably don't risk want to risk another ban Sam Underhill um so they're probably gonna go with a depowered team and
00:09:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:09:08
Jarrod Dyke
ah While that may piss off other teams, it's just what it is. Let's vent around looking after these guys, making sure they're healthy for um the semifinal coming up here. So you there's probably, they have a bunch of back rowers that you could play, bath do so you may get away with playing a Bayless or a Guy Pepper because that's who they rotate in there.
00:09:26
Jarrod Dyke
That's a possibility. Maybe, what's his, Green Kid, he's not bad either.
00:09:30
Grumpy Old Prop
the
00:09:31
Jarrod Dyke
So that's a possibility as well. So just throw those names out there for you. Otherwise, I would not bank on much being in there for like and the likes of Finn, even like a Dutoit. I would be very – Spencer, I would be very surprised if any of those guys are in there.
00:09:45
Jarrod Dyke
um They've had issues in midfield. I'm sure they're looking for two yeah scrap heap guys off off for the midfield right now because they've got so many issues in the middle of the of the field there between Nojomo and obviously they won't have Lawrence and making sure those guys stay healthy.
00:09:55
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:10:02
Jarrod Dyke
So wouldn't be shocked there either. ah for the Saracens. So if carry is healthy, you're going play him. Either of the hookers... uh, locks Theo Mack and Matoje are the ones to have the other two. I don't necessarily want to to love them as people don't love them as, um, fancy options.
00:10:21
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, Tom Willis, Earl Gonzo. Yep. Those are all possibilities in the back row there. Uh, stay away from Ben sale at the halfback spot. ah Burke is definitely an option at 10.
00:10:36
Jarrod Dyke
Um, so again, uh, probably, uh, off the wall one, if you will, that others may not pick because of the names that might be available this weekend.
00:10:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:10:45
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, midfielders, Daly's a midfielder, right?
00:10:49
Grumpy Old Prop
I think so.
00:10:50
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. That's probably the one I'd want. Um, as much as he annoys the fuck out of me. Um, that's probably the one I would want otherwise though. Maybe I'm losing my shit. Nope. I am definitely losing my shit.
00:11:00
Grumpy Old Prop
No, he is not at midfield. I'm sorry.
00:11:02
Jarrod Dyke
No, he's a back three. Ha ha.
00:11:03
Grumpy Old Prop
He's a back three. Okay.
00:11:04
Jarrod Dyke
Um, But Angus Hall is um is actually this midfielder, so keep that in mind in case he ends up starting on the wing. that's what That's one to go for there. And then, yeah, Tobias Elliott is definitely a a play. I'd still give Daly a go.
00:11:18
Jarrod Dyke
And then Roddy, if you're so inclined, to go for that as well.
00:11:28
Grumpy Old Prop
right. And then of the weeks, um, my start of the week, I, I mentioned him briefly, um because I wanted to leave it for here.
00:11:34
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:11:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, there's he's I believe he's he's still going for a record and um or and maybe even looking to extend it. ah He may actually get it this match because he could just be putting up um points after points.
00:11:53
Grumpy Old Prop
So my start of the week this week is Christian Wade of Gloucester versus, ah again, a likely depowered.
00:11:56
Jarrod Dyke
a
00:11:59
Grumpy Old Prop
I mentioned but did mention Freeman and you know in in outside circumstances, but ken't I cannot see him playing in this match.
00:12:09
Jarrod Dyke
and Yeah. Especially whether he's got when he's got Lions potentially to play.
00:12:12
Grumpy Old Prop
Lions coming up. Like, yeah. And again, I mentioned Pollock too.
00:12:13
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:12:15
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't think he's going to be playing this match either. I think they're done. um Pack it in for the, for the summer. um And for you know, don't, there's no point.
00:12:21
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yeah, especially those guys that are getting on the plane to Australia.
00:12:23
Grumpy Old Prop
You just write.
00:12:24
Jarrod Dyke
Forget it.
00:12:25
Grumpy Old Prop
There's no reason to get yourself hurt for, for this nothing game.
00:12:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, dead rubber. um Yeah, I'm actually going same team, different position. Been playing out of his skin the last, you know, don't know, half of the season at least. um Made us kind of forget about Max Llewellyn, but not completely.
00:12:44
Jarrod Dyke
um i saw that he was going be Seb Atkinson from col Gloucester.
00:12:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Apparently we really like that match. So I'm not going to disagree.
00:12:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, you know, you know, you know.
00:12:57
Grumpy Old Prop
I know. um Sit of the week.
00:13:03
Grumpy Old Prop
um So I don't... you know but we i i I have a fill-in for now. I don't know that he's even going to play this week. But... um no matter what happens elsewhere, Saracens will not give up points to forwards.
00:13:21
Grumpy Old Prop
So, um if he even if he's playing, I don't know that how he's going to play the, he certainly wouldn't play the full 80, he might even play 40. um And just just rest him just to give him a you know a little bit of look.
00:13:28
Jarrod Dyke
Oh,
00:13:30
Grumpy Old Prop
But um yeah, my sit of the week this week is Alfie Barbary of Bath because it's just not a good matchup, even if they were going full noise.
00:13:34
Jarrod Dyke
oh yeah.
00:13:40
Grumpy Old Prop
um i Not someone i would I would think that would a full match worth of play.
00:13:45
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:13:45
Grumpy Old Prop
And then and don't think he's going to score many points because Sarri's just crush forwards.
00:13:51
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. So mine's got a. Batgirl flavor as well. um Highly owned, and as you you mentioned it, like just not a group of players that are scoring well for um the Harlequins as their forwards. So um i I went with the guy that i that I currently own, which is Jack Kenningham. because and But really, you could pick a list of them right now, I think.
00:14:14
Jarrod Dyke
So I'm going to say it's said Jack Kenningham.
00:14:19
Jarrod Dyke
Shupa...
00:14:21
Grumpy Old Prop
All right. Off to supers. um Highlanders.
00:14:22
Jarrod Dyke
you're Europe, sir.
00:14:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Highlanders versus the Chiefs. um
00:14:26
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm.
00:14:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Again. oh you know what? I would have to check on the ah the subs for Super Rugby. Give me one moment because I know where that is now. Okay.
00:14:41
Grumpy Old Prop
Play transfers and team limits. um Yeah, same thing, eight transfers for the semis.
00:14:47
Jarrod Dyke
hey Yeah, there'll be at least six teams in this, so it'll be less of a problem.
00:14:48
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:14:52
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. um Now back to my notes. There they are. um For the Highlanders, DeGroote, Talea, Jonah Lowe, Rattu, Matavuki, Niepkins are potentials. They they each could could score fairly well.
00:15:10
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:15:10
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:15:11
Grumpy Old Prop
you know even in a loss, they could, they could do some things for the chiefs to Pava. I, while it's a TT row is starting here, but but I don't know that I would, but um you know, want him for the playoffs. Cause he's going to be them on the bench, but at the same time um he could score pretty well.
00:15:31
Grumpy Old Prop
DMACC, obviously Tupaya Rona, nice Satoru Carter and Steven, basically the entire back line.
00:15:33
Jarrod Dyke
no
00:15:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, if if you want to add in. And I think that's going to be, that's probably their back line when they go to, um, into the playoffs, as much as I don't like D Mac at 10, I honestly can't argue with the way he's been playing there this year.
00:15:52
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, and especially not with that back three that's there. And plus, you know, and that's, that chiefs, there's back all their back three players that they have.
00:15:56
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:16:03
Grumpy Old Prop
They are just, it's unfair. Yeah.
00:16:06
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. they got it They got a nice little
00:16:11
Jarrod Dyke
stable there.
00:16:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:16:12
Jarrod Dyke
There's... All right.
00:16:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Nara was not even playing and they're they're still one of the most dangerous back three.
00:16:16
Jarrod Dyke
Right. It's wild.
00:16:18
Jarrod Dyke
It's wild. All right.
00:16:18
Grumpy Old Prop
It's not fair.
00:16:21
Grumpy Old Prop
There's a reason that they have 200 plus point differential.
00:16:21
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:16:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yep. Definitely. Brumbies and Crusaders. Here we go.
00:16:32
Grumpy Old Prop
Don't let me keep you up.
00:16:32
Jarrod Dyke
I'm there. God, I'm there. I swear. um So for the Brumbies, yeah, you'll you'll play the front row. I like Billy Pollard a lot still, so that's a thumbs up. um Frost and Hooper are both plays in Super Brew, but I would sit Hooper in FRD if you're playing in a final this week. I know it's a tough call if he's gotten you here, but still, like, he's been playing number eight the last couple weeks, so it's probably been helpful, but now he's back in luck.
00:16:54
Jarrod Dyke
And Lissazel is forward and playing lock is really, really... do
00:16:58
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:16:58
Jarrod Dyke
ah Bobby V, you're going to play. um And then Lolisio back. Nice to see him. um Tool, Iquital, Mirrorhead, right? Yep. All those are thumbs ups for me. If you're desperate enough to go for Alonagan or Afaila, I'm sorry.
00:17:15
Jarrod Dyke
You are in deep shit. ah For the Crusaders, again, front row. And I would play all three of those guys in Super Brew if you had them. um and I would go, i like Shalfoon over Scott Barrett, and that says a lot, because I don't mind Scott Barrett, but, so, there's that, Blackhitter, yes, yeah, he's kind of knucklehead sometimes, yeah, as we've deemed him, Blackhitter I like for either format, Christie would be an FRD only, Desperation play for me, Leo Willey-Bolth is fine, Hotham,
00:17:28
Grumpy Old Prop
I do too. I agree.
00:17:32
Grumpy Old Prop
Barrett is a Barrett is that what they did the Kiwi Lavanini.
00:17:50
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, Rehana, FRD only. Um, dipshit wearing 11. Yes, that's fine.
00:17:56
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:17:56
Jarrod Dyke
Um, uh, McLeod over Amua, Fiaki, FRD, McNichol, FRD only.
00:18:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Alright, Blues-Warata is maybe the the most vital match this weekend. um
00:18:11
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:18:13
Grumpy Old Prop
Well, at least in Supers. Blues-Riccatelli Tui Pilatu, Totten Papalilii, Hoskins Tutu, Bowden, and then the two wings, Clark and Talia.
00:18:25
Grumpy Old Prop
ah
00:18:25
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:18:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Again, you're going for um potential all all across the the way there. um For the Taz, Pareki, Amatocero, Gleason, and honestly, i as much as even though I picked them to win, oh no, I didn't.
00:18:43
Jarrod Dyke
here Yeah, you did it.
00:18:43
Grumpy Old Prop
I picked the Blues to win. um Yeah. And a lot of that was was the lineup. but And I'm giving Kellaway a big ol' sit this week.
00:18:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he hasn't been good.
00:18:55
Grumpy Old Prop
He hasn't been good, and they have nobody else in that back three right now.
00:18:55
Jarrod Dyke
Hasn't been good.
00:18:59
Grumpy Old Prop
So it's like, just stop him, and you stop their back three.
00:18:59
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm.
00:19:02
Grumpy Old Prop
and The Blues are kind of okay.
00:19:04
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah.
00:19:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:19:05
Jarrod Dyke
Maybe Riley, but definitely not Creighton.
00:19:08
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:19:09
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Bowen at 10. Oof, that's a fucking ballsy-ass call there, McKellar.
00:19:12
Grumpy Old Prop
a
00:19:14
Jarrod Dyke
maybe Maybe Lester saw something that Luortas did not.
00:19:18
Grumpy Old Prop
Thank you.
00:19:18
Jarrod Dyke
Just saying. Just saying. uh anyway uh hurricanes and moana for the hurricanes um front row is a go um devry if you really want to play him but he's probably only gonna be there for this week that'll be rotated out for amua next week um kareefi or lock eye yep roy guard yep i would fuck with camera especially in frd yep um Fringy Anofo, yep.
00:19:46
Jarrod Dyke
Don't play Pooj as much as I love him.
00:19:48
Jarrod Dyke
don't Don't do that to yourself.
00:19:48
Grumpy Old Prop
he
00:19:52
Jarrod Dyke
Proctor Sullivan, love. Yes, especially Sullivan since he's a middie. He's playing out on the wing. That gives me... ah I'd be excited about having that. I had him in FRD. Won me a week the week he scored four tries against the Chiefs. yeah so Oops.
00:20:10
Grumpy Old Prop
I
00:20:12
Jarrod Dyke
Pretty sure did at least.
00:20:13
Jarrod Dyke
Anyway. ah you know, listen, it's the only one I'm probably going to get this year. Let's be honest for Moana.
00:20:13
Grumpy Old Prop
thought we weren't talking about that.
00:20:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, that's true.
00:20:21
Jarrod Dyke
Um, I think they're front row still serviceable. So if that's when you've been riding until the final, then go for it. I'd play any of their back through, uh, their back row, uh, especially Langian, Civea and Super Brew as well. Um, but they're all three FRD options.
00:20:36
Jarrod Dyke
Um, Pellegrini at your own risk and FRD have fun. Um, Man, like, Alamalo, I like. i think he's a midfielder in one of the two formats. I can't remember. So, might be worth a look.
00:20:49
Jarrod Dyke
Temuai Falau, yes. I mean, i love the bus I love the bus, but not here.
00:20:56
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no. So, and then the others. The others are play at your own risk for FRD, but God help you if you're desperate enough to play for Superbrew.
00:20:56
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:21:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, all right, four Reds versus Druah. oof This could get this good.
00:21:10
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm.
00:21:13
Jarrod Dyke
bad.
00:21:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, yeah, the front row for the Reds are an easy. Yes. Uh, McRate Wilson. Yes. And yes. Tate McDermott. Obviously we saw that last week. Um, Tom Lina, uh, apparently kicking for posts.
00:21:26
Grumpy Old Prop
No, um, could, it could add to your point totals.
00:21:27
Jarrod Dyke
i think they'll change that tune.
00:21:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, Fluke and the Junkyard Dog are are easy plays here. For the Drua, I think even in the losing effort, they're still going put up ah you know maybe some entertainment with Nisilasilla.
00:21:42
Grumpy Old Prop
um And then theyre the back line, Armstrong Rula, Masi, Rekuro, Logan Amasi, and Raju Vaumata. Any of them could go off. So um don't hesitate to put you know at least you know Pepper one in. Again, you have eight eight subs.
00:21:58
Grumpy Old Prop
um There's some some quality options there.
00:22:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, agreed. Agreed. All right. So that leads us to of the weeks. So ah I've got...
00:22:18
Jarrod Dyke
a guy that you mentioned already and playing at home, playing against a team that has surrendered points. And he's just, he's in form.
00:22:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Do we have the same start of the week?
00:22:26
Jarrod Dyke
He's in form. My side it, he's going Tate McDermott.
00:22:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. All right. um We don't have the same. but um
00:22:33
Jarrod Dyke
Hey-oh!
00:22:35
Grumpy Old Prop
same Same match.
00:22:36
Jarrod Dyke
you You looked at my other notes.
00:22:37
Grumpy Old Prop
um Same match, same team. And I'm going with the Junkyard Dog. um for Tim Ryan versus Drew.
00:22:41
Jarrod Dyke
Tim Ryan. right, nice. like it. Yeah. ah On the other side of it, ah um yeah, i
00:22:55
Jarrod Dyke
like the Brumbies a lot, but yeah, I don't think it's going to be a good day for Ryan Lonergan. And I may have already picked him once recently, so I may have to re-change this, but he's just really highly selected for halfbacks.
00:23:04
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:23:07
Grumpy Old Prop
Nah, go with it again.
00:23:10
Jarrod Dyke
And it's the same idea as Nick White. I know he's a living, breathing halfback, and Sometimes that's worth worth it because they have a pulse, but man, I don't understand the justification for picking him over basically all the others that score are well, including Rattama and Fakatava, the ones I'm not starting this week, but still, yuck.
00:23:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:23:35
Jarrod Dyke
So, yeah, Ryan Lonergan.
00:23:36
Grumpy Old Prop
um aye um Basically, i already i already told you to sit him as we went through. um And to that point, he's also going to be just my sit of the week, which, of course, means I'm starting him in an FRD because, you know, I'm forced to.
00:23:45
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:23:51
Grumpy Old Prop
And that's Andrew Kellaway of the Wartas versus the Blues.
00:23:53
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I had that problem many years ago. i think it was back but during the Japan World Cup. I had to start my sit of the week.
00:24:03
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, i've done I mean, I've done it before.
00:24:03
Jarrod Dyke
i was like, mother.
00:24:04
Grumpy Old Prop
it It's just not.
00:24:06
Jarrod Dyke
Doesn't feel good.
00:24:07
Grumpy Old Prop
No, not advisable.
00:24:09
Jarrod Dyke
Doesn't feel good. All right. All right, fam. That's what we got for you this week. We appreciate everyone that stops by and listens to us and takes our advice under under advisement.
00:24:22
Jarrod Dyke
But we will catch you all next week. Enjoy the final rounds of both competitions, and we'll talk to you guys soon. Have a good one.
00:24:29
Grumpy Old Prop
