Champions League and Draft Outcomes

00:00:29
Jarrod Dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
00:00:32
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm Ben Glauser. Mm hmm.
00:00:34
Jarrod Dyke
We're in its fancy corner time. Welcome in, friends. Edition number two on the year. We will dive right into Champions League stuff. um Scores are still raw for um draft, but I think I can tell you what the results are in terms of who's won and who's lost.
00:00:52
Jarrod Dyke
I got screwed by a couple of things, so I am, yep, I'm out. I lost to Luke and Alex B. Duncan.
00:01:04
Jarrod Dyke
Bat K lost to George. George, as of right now, has 219 points.
00:01:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Fuck off.
00:01:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, exactly.
00:01:16
Grumpy Old Prop
Get out.
00:01:18
Jarrod Dyke
but Let me look. Radwan, Malin's, Brown Bambo didn't help. Jack Bracken, um Lawrence Bellow. Archie McParlin, CCS wasn't great, but Tom Willis, Ollie Chesom, Baxter, and Dweba.
00:01:39
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that that's a team right there. and i And I put in for Bracken too, hoping I'd get him. I'm not sure what to save my week, but damn.
00:01:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm. Yeah.
00:01:49
Jarrod Dyke
And then, um not to undermine it, but Justin beat Matt B, beat Barty.
00:01:55
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:01:56
Jarrod Dyke
So.

Navy League Results and Super Brew Standings

00:01:57
Jarrod Dyke
We don't need to update Super Brew stuff yet because they are still processing stuff, so we're not going to bother with that, although we can tell you what the results are from the week before in a second.
00:01:57
Grumpy Old Prop
In the, uh, they are
00:02:05
Jarrod Dyke
But let's do Navy first.
00:02:08
Grumpy Old Prop
maybe, um, so I, I lost to, yes, we have to, um,
00:02:09
Jarrod Dyke
In the Navy.
00:02:12
Jarrod Dyke
I'm probably going to sing that every time we do this.
00:02:19
Grumpy Old Prop
of course that's that's my group citizen it's full yeah i had to
00:02:19
Jarrod Dyke
You put the fucking logo as that damn thing. That's why.
00:02:25
Jarrod Dyke
ah So I blame you. i blame you solely.
00:02:28
Grumpy Old Prop
ah
00:02:33
Grumpy Old Prop
so anyway in the navy um i lost to paul um i had a respectable 87 and he had a disrespectful 169 um
00:02:42
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, you're done.
00:02:43
Grumpy Old Prop
a Franco lost, yeah, no.
00:02:43
Jarrod Dyke
Adjustments won't bring you that many points.
00:02:46
Grumpy Old Prop
ah home for ah Franco lost a home ah ninety five to to 101. And again, these these may change.
00:02:53
Jarrod Dyke
Ooh, that's tight.
00:02:54
Grumpy Old Prop
um So that's that's a tight one.
00:02:55
Jarrod Dyke
That could that could change.
00:02:56
Grumpy Old Prop
That's right. but Mine, not so much. um
00:02:59
Jarrod Dyke
no Okay.
00:03:00
Grumpy Old Prop
um Matt, I think we get this. This is Matt T.
00:03:05
Jarrod Dyke
No, T. T. Sorry. T. I have the other two in my in my in in red.
00:03:07
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Right. Matt T lost to Stu 151 to 126.
00:03:13
Grumpy Old Prop
And then um Rob, dude, 50 points this week.
00:03:19
Jarrod Dyke
Ooh, yeah.
00:03:19
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:03:20
Jarrod Dyke
That's not dissimilar to what I got, so...
00:03:22
Grumpy Old Prop
So much of his team, though, like is is still not playing. So it looks like his roster was poorly set. i don't He didn't have a single point from his back three who were Ram, Daly, and Hodge, none of whom played.

Match Previews and Fantasy Picks

00:03:34
Grumpy Old Prop
um And then Mark had 123, aided most...
00:03:35
Jarrod Dyke
so
00:03:37
Grumpy Old Prop
um eat most
00:03:39
Jarrod Dyke
Solid.
00:03:40
Grumpy Old Prop
ah but most impressively by Tom O'Flaherty's.78 points on the day.
00:03:47
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:03:48
Grumpy Old Prop
But when you have Bello, had Bello, he had Arendelle, only had 15 points.
00:03:48
Jarrod Dyke
Sanderson, stop picking him.
00:03:52
Grumpy Old Prop
That's odd. um Vincent...
00:03:53
Jarrod Dyke
yeah it's That makes sense. he He didn't get loose that much. He just scored. Yeah,
00:03:58
Grumpy Old Prop
Right, then Vincent and Jubulu. So, he had, it yeah.
00:04:01
Jarrod Dyke
that's solid.
00:04:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Solid solid a team for Mark.
00:04:03
Jarrod Dyke
That's solid.
00:04:03
Grumpy Old Prop
mike Yeah, i was kind of fucked because Martin didn't do much. Neither did Dan John. But like Malin's Hutchinson.
00:04:10
Jarrod Dyke
oh yeah no
00:04:12
Grumpy Old Prop
And then that was really it for my point scores. Everyone else ate poop.
00:04:15
Jarrod Dyke
yeah right yeah um right so without getting too into it because we don't know the results of this past week but we can tell you that the standings from the previous week for super brew um we do have 14 participants so everyone right now will score
00:04:16
Grumpy Old Prop
Even though Harle had a try, he only had five, little over five points. So unhelpful.
00:04:31
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:04:37
Jarrod Dyke
Um, hold up. The bottom is, is Franco. Although I'm not all that much in front of him. And I think I had a blunder this week and forgot to set my line up. so he's going to jump me probably this week.
00:04:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh, yeah, that looks poor.
00:04:48
Jarrod Dyke
Um, Matt K then Matt K Rob, um, Luke, Ben, Duncan, George, Mark, um, Stu,
00:05:04
Jarrod Dyke
then who's this again? Oh, calm. God damn it, guys. You're killing me over here. And then Matt tea Paul, and then leading leading the front is Alex, who fucking made life hard on everyone last year in this competition. of forever break No, actually, that Mark. Never mind.
00:05:19
Jarrod Dyke
It's right there. It's right there in front of you, Jared. The fuck is wrong with you? oh But anyway, so obviously those two Results will get jumbled up this week after Super Bowl finalized their stuff.
00:05:30
Jarrod Dyke
That's probably the one downside of us doing this on a Sunday is is that.
00:05:33
Grumpy Old Prop
although it looks yeah it does look like alex is at the moment the the clubhouse leaderboard again this week too so
00:05:34
Jarrod Dyke
but
00:05:40
Jarrod Dyke
Solid.

Player Performance Analysis and Strategy

00:05:42
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, we'll see. I think this this coming week will be interesting when ah when a lot of the internationals and Lions return.
00:05:48
Grumpy Old Prop
right
00:05:48
Jarrod Dyke
and'll be That'll be telling. Okay. um Into Start Set.
00:05:59
Grumpy Old Prop
and i start us off because i have sale versus newcastle uh this match sucks for fantasy
00:06:00
Jarrod Dyke
What does
00:06:10
Jarrod Dyke
she When I was looking through this, I was like, oh, he's going to hate this so much. Ha ha ha.
00:06:19
Grumpy Old Prop
I mean, George Ford. Yes, obviously. i don't know. I honestly don't know who else to pick for like this is the thing where where sale just don't don't score that many points or like they're so.
00:06:33
Grumpy Old Prop
Like. It's rare when their individual players score a lot um and it's, you know,
00:06:38
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, um probably up front. and
00:06:42
Grumpy Old Prop
maybe up front yeah the top that that that front row i just don't yeah and then there's on the other side newcastle who
00:06:54
Grumpy Old Prop
they have a couple of guys are scoring okay but sales of very good defense at home especially at home i just i can't recommend any of them except you know again in in the draft format hurl um might be untake outable for me just because
00:06:56
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:07:00
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:07:07
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:07:10
Grumpy Old Prop
he scored hey He's got two tries in two matches, and he's a center, so they they don't score that high anyway.
00:07:17
Jarrod Dyke
Play on the lane, yeah.
00:07:18
Grumpy Old Prop
But he's playing on the wing. Maybe he'll get one over, um especially if he's playing against O'Flaherty.
00:07:20
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:07:24
Grumpy Old Prop
um That's a favorable matchup there.
00:07:27
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:07:27
Grumpy Old Prop
That's like the one favorable matchup I think Newcastle will have.
00:07:31
Jarrod Dyke
There go. All right. and So I have our bristles...
00:07:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Except, of course, for Connan against Ford.
00:07:38
Jarrod Dyke
yeah um um i have bristol against exeter uh so we're expecting geng to be back you'll be starting you're playing him if you picked him in super real you spent the money you're playing him don't be don't screw around um batley in any format yes um mata in any format yes uh fitz harding if he's back don't think he'll be back this week but if he is then yep thumbs up um
00:07:53
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:07:58
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:08:08
Jarrod Dyke
And then like for the backs, like I'm concerned, uh, number one, i don't know who's go to play in the back three because nobody does right now. i'm not sure Pat Lamb does, um, Revalvo and, and Rens, Ben Rensberg are definitive guesses.
00:08:20
Jarrod Dyke
I think they'll see the ball enough. So they'll be viable.
00:08:23
Grumpy Old Prop
Not
00:08:24
Jarrod Dyke
And then maybe a Grandana in the back row. Um, Marmy in, in draft format is perfectly fine. But other than that, like props that aren't Genji, um,
00:08:37
Jarrod Dyke
locks that aren't badly and any right now. I don't, I wouldn't trust any of this back three. You know, they, you need, this is going to be it you need to show it to me type of situation.
00:08:43
Grumpy Old Prop
not right now, no.
00:08:48
Jarrod Dyke
And that's just, that's just where we're at. Um, yeah. And whoever plays 10, like, don't get, don't get cute. Stay right the hell away from that. Um, for Exeter, um,
00:09:02
Jarrod Dyke
So plenty up front to pick from Dweba, Fisilau, Vincent. Yep, you're going to play them. You'll play Slade because, especially in draft formats, because he gets the he gets the points off the tee.
00:09:13
Jarrod Dyke
Brown, Bampo, and Faye will both create their own space usually, so they're they're fine.
00:09:13
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:09:18
Jarrod Dyke
Barney in draft formats hasn't been terrible. um We might see Lenny Kitau suit up for them this week. If if he does, I would go draft format only. i wouldn't go spend the money in Superbrew just yet.
00:09:30
Jarrod Dyke
Um, this is one of those like, yeah, let's see if we can actually do it. Comment slash. Let's see if they can find him some space. Cause you know, um, and then sits that are likely to be popular, semi-popular Daffy roots and Skinner.
00:09:47
Grumpy Old Prop
right, on to Franklin's Gardens with ah Northampton hosting Leicester.
00:09:53
Jarrod Dyke
Mm.
00:09:56
Grumpy Old Prop
Potentially very solid match, um but points on offer both ways. Saints still, their defense is poop, so um but they're also their attack is like the opposite of poop.
00:10:09
Grumpy Old Prop
And then they're obviously getting some players back. um It's like, we'll get Freeman, Finn. Is Sleight this list? Or what's what's, is he just injured?
00:10:20
Jarrod Dyke
I think he's banged up.
00:10:21
Grumpy Old Prop
ah Which is a shame. But Hendy's been great too. um Obviously Pollock, this means Pollock is back. I don't know what that's going to do for Pearson.
00:10:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yep, right.
00:10:33
Grumpy Old Prop
um Obviously my press my preference would be ah
00:10:35
Jarrod Dyke
Might be good, might be bad. Hmm.
00:10:38
Grumpy Old Prop
ah uh, Pearson Pollock and check at six, uh, back back row, but that's just me. And I'll never get that because I ah really want to see it.
00:10:48
Jarrod Dyke
Right. Mm-hmm.
00:10:49
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, butops so no, they won't let me see it. Um, on the Lester side, this is the problem now. Cause they're, ah this might over overwhelm their back row, which is still also, you know, like gloss or not, not quite the strongest.
00:11:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, And then we'll see what happens with their 10. If Bailey just needed to pull out for one match or is it a long-term thing? if it's a longer-term thing, I don't think James O'Connor is going to be a great option as a full-time 10. And rushing him right back, that's going to be hard.
00:11:23
Grumpy Old Prop
So then um if it's still surled, that doesn't really kill Lester, but at the same time, it's know one less attacking threat.
00:11:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Still a decent distributor, but Those those wings are still going to get points. So go there. I think it kind of hurts Stewart, if anybody.
00:11:46
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, we'll see how that goes. Slateholm was due to play in the Prem Cup game against the Saracens and had an injury setback. so that that So he may be back soon-ish in that case, but it I don't know if it'll be this week.
00:12:01
Grumpy Old Prop
Right, but I'm not going to. Yeah, and they don't quite need him at this point because Todoro has been ridiculous
00:12:08
Jarrod Dyke
He's been playing well.
00:12:10
Grumpy Old Prop
And then if you have Freeman too, that's just, yeah, you're fine.
00:12:13
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, you're in good shape. He'll be in good shape.
00:12:14
Grumpy Old Prop
you like slides We'll see you in a few weeks. Just get healthy. When you're 100%, then you can get back on the field.
00:12:18
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, concentrate on that for sure. All right.
00:12:21
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:12:22
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:12:22
Grumpy Old Prop
We don't need you at 85, 90% and re-injuring it. and reinjuring it
00:12:25
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. No, no. Bath Gloucester. For Bath. Funny champs. um So, I'm assuming he's not banged up or anything. Thomas Dutois will return i have he's in that lineup.
00:12:41
Jarrod Dyke
if he's on the bench and you have him in either format, you might still consider throwing him in there. Just, you know, he's been good both, both ways. So keep that in mind.
00:12:49
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:12:51
Jarrod Dyke
Tom Dunn is fine in either format. We might see the return to Finn Russell. If he is, yes, thumbs up. Redpath Lawrence, fine. um Arendelle, Coca, yep.
00:13:02
Jarrod Dyke
So any problems, not Thomas Dutour, draft only, but yes, go ahead. um Any, like, basically any back rower hill pepper reed uh barbary bayless like any back rower pretty much you can probably consider them draft format viable but it's tough to pick on super brew because they don't always play week to week this week this i think the last two weeks were the exception that's you know bankran likes to rotate them quite often um probably just
00:13:15
Grumpy Old Prop
of
00:13:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:13:29
Grumpy Old Prop
They're so good, you can't not. You can't not. Which it makes them like, like makes them so non valuable in Super Brew.
00:13:36
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, totally.
00:13:38
Grumpy Old Prop
Like ah it does make me pine for.
00:13:38
Jarrod Dyke
i think it's Honestly, I think it's lucky that Kutzee is hurt. Otherwise, we might have seen a rotation this week.
00:13:42
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. Yeah, it makes me pine for TRM even more.
00:13:44
Jarrod Dyke
Oh,
00:13:46
Grumpy Old Prop
One of those you can see, you can save like 30 guys on your team if you want.
00:13:50
Jarrod Dyke
yeah, truth.
00:13:51
Grumpy Old Prop
That'd be perfect.
00:13:51
Jarrod Dyke
um But yeah, any back row, guess. ah who Ben Spencer might be relegated to sits, but you can try it one week because he's no longer going to be getting those kicking points.
00:14:00
Grumpy Old Prop
from
00:14:03
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:14:03
Jarrod Dyke
um And I would start to shy away from Tom DeGlambeau because I'm not sure when all are available, he gets into this team. Um, and then either lock, just doesn't matter who it is.
00:14:15
Jarrod Dyke
Quite honestly, don't blame him. Run very fast. The other direction for the gloss driven, um, for Sogbon.
00:14:21
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. um
00:14:26
Jarrod Dyke
Yes. In either format, uh, Alomano Thomas. Yep. Um, Williams. Yeah. Thomas Williams, uh, Seb Atkinson, uh, If we see Cluelen back, yes.
00:14:37
Jarrod Dyke
Otherwise, i you know I don't think I'd play him in Superbrew because I'm not sure he's going stay healthy. But yeah, well, Joseph in draft formats, go for it.
00:14:43
Grumpy Old Prop
ah
00:14:46
Jarrod Dyke
um ah You know, either Gloucester Hooker, one of the three in draft formats, yes. Arthur Clarke, same. um Clement's the only one I really want in draft if he's healthy.
00:14:58
Jarrod Dyke
um Burns, a draft-only guy as well. I prefer over Thorley in draft formats, but I'd play either one of them. That's fine. um yeah and again I'd caution anybody that's not Clement to when you're starting them like especially against Bath like this could be a problematic so just ah set expectations very low if you're going to play someone that's not him okay yeah especially them
00:15:25
Grumpy Old Prop
all right, off to the stoop. Quinn's size for Quinn's. You're going to want to stay away from their forwards entirely. Like, really, their type five have not been terribly friendly of late.
00:15:37
Grumpy Old Prop
um But then with Saris, they just... deep, they just crush the opposition forwards, nothing else. So ah from a fanyy fantasy perspective. So, you know, if you've been relying on Dom, Will Evans, Kenningham, if you've been relying on him, you've got problems anyway, um you know, outside a draft format.
00:15:59
Grumpy Old Prop
But yeah, not not this week. But yeah, look for the backs because, again, there's going to be gaps. salaries aren't like the perfect defense right now, um and especially the Quinns do have a fantastic attack, and especially once Marcus comes back, it's going to be that much more of a threat.
00:16:17
Grumpy Old Prop
um And Merle, too. So, right, if if I'm not mistaken on that.
00:16:22
Jarrod Dyke
He should. I think he'll be healthy this week, yeah.
00:16:26
Grumpy Old Prop
So that that would be a good ah you know double bonus for Quinns there. So we'll have to see what you know which which of them play. ah Obviously, Marcus will, oh we would assume, and then um, for the Saracen side, the defense for, for Quinns will still give up points. So, um, you know, whoever that hooker, if it's Jamie George, yeah, you can probably rely because on him, especially in in a draft format. He'll, you know, either him or Theo Dan, it's almost like a, a handcuff.
00:16:57
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, like you'd see in like, uh, running back stables where you want the guy plus his backup, just in case one's hurt or one starts, you just throw them in there.
00:17:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:17:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Um,
00:17:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Morrow, obviously much more in draft format, I think, than in Super Brew just because of the the cost that he is. I don't think he the the points are quite the return on investment there.
00:17:15
Jarrod Dyke
yeah
00:17:19
Grumpy Old Prop
um But then anybody in that back row, especially Tom Willis, you know um
00:17:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Earl is probably a good bet this week. And then Faz the one you'd want for the kicker, but... know Other than that, Fergus Burke has been actually scoring pretty decently

Fantasy Rugby Picks and Strategy

00:17:41
Grumpy Old Prop
outside of that.
00:17:41
Grumpy Old Prop
I've i've had him on my ah on my draft format, and it's been doing okay anyway.
00:17:44
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he's like 10 or 12 or so in the draft format, so not bad.
00:17:47
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:17:50
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, not bad if you don't need the the kicking points there. And then, fuck, either way, any of the back three players for Saris, because they're all just raking.
00:17:54
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:17:59
Grumpy Old Prop
And it doesn't matter how young or how new or how debutant their one wing will be. um Play him.
00:18:07
Grumpy Old Prop
because he's better than, yeah ah to to to to quote Matt from from Fezcast, you know, they're not putting Maitland out there anymore.
00:18:07
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, it seems...
00:18:17
Jarrod Dyke
No, thank you.
00:18:17
Grumpy Old Prop
I'll put it that way.
00:18:20
Jarrod Dyke
Much love to Sean Maitland, but yeah, we didn't need to be wheeling him out anymore.
00:18:22
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:18:24
Jarrod Dyke
Thank God. um All right, of the weeks.
00:18:31
Jarrod Dyke
So I got guy that started the season quite well, and his matchup's very favorable. He's at home, and yeah, I hope he keeps the job when everyone's healthy. My style of the week's going to be sales Nathan Gibblew.
00:18:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Not bad. um I've had two start of the week's for this for one club. And I'm going to continue that trend with the same club.
00:18:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:18:56
Grumpy Old Prop
um Especially now that their starting 10 is back. um This guy has been awesome. And I think it's just going to get awesomer from here.
00:19:07
Grumpy Old Prop
And that's harryt Henry Arundel for Bath.
00:19:10
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:12
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:19:12
Jarrod Dyke
yeah
00:19:12
Grumpy Old Prop
he He's unsittable as it is. um um You know, i Coca has been, ah had him one week and he he's underperformed both, although he might also now pick it up with Finbeck.
00:19:25
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, it'll help.
00:19:25
Grumpy Old Prop
But I think Arundel is still, ah yeah, he's playing for for that white jersey.
00:19:26
Jarrod Dyke
He moves the needle for sure.
00:19:33
Jarrod Dyke
Oh yeah. Unquestionably. Um, okay. So sit, I'm, this is my, this guy's my sit only because I'm warning people off the shiny object that people may think exists with this man. Um, not a favor favorable matchup. He's not scoring anything. He's no longer really that good of a player.
00:19:52
Jarrod Dyke
Um, My set the week is going Liam Williams from Newcastle. Like, shiny object syndrome.
00:19:55
Grumpy Old Prop
Yes, that's yeah.
00:19:58
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no fly over here, guys. Just stop.
00:20:01
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:20:02
Jarrod Dyke
Trust me. There was a reason that he didn't play much for Saracens after a few weeks. Like, the crack started to show very quickly.
00:20:06
Grumpy Old Prop
hmm.
00:20:09
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:20:10
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. um My set of the week is a guy who. There's still like, he's again, it's almost in a similar vein to you.
00:20:21
Grumpy Old Prop
um But lot younger, and I don't know what the hell's going on with him, really. um But I think no matter what, this is a really bad matchup for him. So don't don't follow the shiny object. Find a different name if you need a name.
00:20:34
Grumpy Old Prop
um But my sit of the week this week is going to be Alex Dombrant.
00:20:38
Jarrod Dyke
Ooh, big one. Big call. Big call. But I appreciate the boldness.
00:20:45
Grumpy Old Prop
I've been moving away from him from fantasy-wise for a couple seasons now, and now i'm just he's in my...
00:20:53
Grumpy Old Prop
I need to pick it up.
00:20:54
Jarrod Dyke
Got those dinner plates for hands, man.
00:20:54
Grumpy Old Prop
right like Yeah. Yeah, that started when he started playing international and it just it's trickled down. I don't know what's what's got in his head, but he's not what he used to be.
00:21:04
Jarrod Dyke
I think it's...
00:21:04
Grumpy Old Prop
And that that makes me upset.
00:21:05
Jarrod Dyke
i Yeah, i think it's ah psychological, honestly, because there's nothing that's really changed that much about him. So, yeah, i think it's psychological.
00:21:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:21:13
Jarrod Dyke
He needs to go find himself a mental skills coach.
00:21:16
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:21:21
Jarrod Dyke
