Introduction & Personal Updates
00:00:04
Speaker
is. The Fantasy Europeans. 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 handled that. Collusion. Collusion.
00:00:26
Speaker
Hey, what's up, fancy freaks? It's the fancy rugby yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. Fancy Corner Time. We're back on this one as well. Yeah, good times here. Hope you missed us. We missed you.
00:00:40
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, definitely. That's a lie. I didn't, I have not missed anybody at all. You would know at this point anyway. Yeah, no, I'm enjoying my. Your head's firmly up your bum. Well, it always is, but now with a child, I'm definitely, don't give a fuck everybody. I'm good right here.
Champions Rugby Results & Division Two Confusion
00:01:02
Speaker
Yeah. Um, let's jump right into championics recap. Uh, let's go to start with FRD division one. Uh, we had, ooh, Jesus, uh, Duncan, ouch. Uh, Duncan got clobbered by Cobus, uh, Stu and Justin duked it out. Justin came out on top. You, it was George and Ben George got the better of Ben. And then, um, yeah, I lost my butt to Mark.
00:01:29
Speaker
No good. Uh, yeah, I'm okay. Cause I beat Justin at his own, literally his own game. Um, in the, another league. So yeah. And the pink slips league. Yeah. That was fun. Yeah. I've been a little mixed bag on FRD so far this year, division two. Um, sorry. Oh, you piss off. Go away.
00:01:52
Speaker
No update stay away. Um, we got oh You guys are gonna tell me I don't know who mr. Ruby is but that's right Luke Luke one anyway, so it doesn't matter Looks like looks like Man, I'm gonna have to figure out what the names are here. I know Franco one and I know player x1. So that's all that is
00:02:17
Speaker
D2, send me all your team names so I know who you all are, please. Let's go to Super Brew, Super Rugby.
Super Rugby Standings & Fantasy Picks
00:02:28
Speaker
The round of the week went to Mark. Mark's been struggling in some of the other Super Brews, but not this one. Yeah. Duncan ate the wooden spoon. Ouch.
00:02:42
Speaker
Uh, right now the Subaru super rugby reads COVID Mark, Ben, myself, George, Stu, Justin, and Duncan division two. How are you? By the way, so where are you? You're right. You're basically, you're kind of what, what are you, um, ranked of the, uh, like for, for everybody in super brew.
00:03:08
Speaker
The world or for the US? For world. Because US, you're like what, five? You're not that far behind. You're 11. I'm 11 in the US. I'm 384 in the world for super rugby. Not bad. Yeah, I'm at 110. So like this is a big jump. Once again, solid league. Yeah. Division two. Yeah, we're missing one. Barty, Abery, Franco.
00:03:32
Speaker
Paul, Luke, and Don hasn't registered a team yet, so he's hitting on a donut. Oh no. Yeah. Dude, oopsie daisy. So it means we're missing one. I'll just sort that out. Now that I've got my head somewhat out of my ass. Anywho, let's look at, yes, we're going to look at PWR. We're going to talk about PWR picks. So the latest news is I finally tallied it all up. And the bad news is Ryan still leads.
00:04:01
Speaker
but I'm still in second, so I'm okay with that. The last two, the, not this past weekend, the weekend before was a really rough round. The top score was 50, 51. Julia had it. Like that was a tough round. We've only, we've had a couple of those, but that was probably one of the toughest ones. Let's see. Um, there was one other weekend where it was really tough. Round nine was really rough. There was 40 odd points in round eight. Same thing.
00:04:33
Speaker
but yeah, so that was a tough one. This past weekend though, top round had 77, it was 77.1. I don't know who that was though. Never heard of that guy before. Um, anyway, so yeah, the, hold on, lost my place. Stanings, there we go. Come on, we can do this. Stanings Reed, Ryan, myself, Ben, George, Duncan, Joe, Julia, Matt, and Rihanna.
00:05:02
Speaker
Go on. Yeah, we're down to nine teams. We've had the two managers chop off the grid. Unfortunate. Yep. Sad, sad. Oh well. Hey, listen, that's nine people that have been super committed. I love it. Love it. Yeah, we'll get more. Yes, we will. Make it bigger next year. All right, so picks for the round.
00:05:28
Speaker
You were just sorting yours out. I was just sorting mine out. As we were talking in the other pod, Exeter like relying on Hope Rogers. I will rely on Hope Rogers. I'll give that a shot. See how that works out for me. For my back,
Six Nations Match Previews
00:05:46
Speaker
I'm looking at
00:05:50
Speaker
the matchups and the trailfinders going in sale. I did find maybe a little bit of a cheat code because Kate Zachary in the last match against the Bears was playing at 13. So I am looking at her. But if she's back in the forwards, then I'm probably going to go with Vicki Lafflin.
00:06:11
Speaker
from the same squad and then my kicker because I haven't picked her yet. Um, and I still think the matchup of, of the, uh, at Queen's home against the, the Harlequin's women, um, still favors the gloss or heartbreak ladies. So I'm going to go with Emma Singh. Um, now as my, as my kicker, now that she's back. So I'm going to do very similar to you. I'm going to go, I've gone Emily to Tussie from the hooker. Um, I'm going to go Abby Dow from the trailfinders.
00:06:41
Speaker
She's usually good for a good one. Knock on wood. And then I am also going to go MSN. As one does. Somebody copied somebody's homework. It would probably mean, let's be honest, I copied someone's homework this time. I mean, I don't think we need to copy someone's homework for MSN, really. No, probably not. I mean, she's a cheat code. Anyway, Annie Hoop. All right, we got that start sit thing. And we're back to Six Nations. Yeah, we're here.
00:07:11
Speaker
We made it. Starting off Italy hosting Scotland. For the itis, Fisketi, Menoncello, I think now we can put the legit stamp on him. And so I will do that. Someone who I definitely will rely on. Ioannini Capozzo.
00:07:33
Speaker
Lina, if he's finally brought in, I'm hoping that during this time period they've been working him and he's certainly better than, who was it, Pani, I think started last time. So I'd definitely go with him if he's in the lineup.
00:07:52
Speaker
for the Scots, Schumann, Dempsey, Darj, Ben White, still a good shout. Finn, obviously. I still like the centers. It's not Huey Palatu because Huey Palatu is going to be out for the rest of the comp, but Cam Redpath. Yeah, sad. Cam Redpath, as we saw, can scoot and find some gaps. And he can also offload, which is really how Hugh Jones has been earning his bucks off of those offloads.
00:08:23
Speaker
That could still work just well, and then just as well. And then, you know, Duhan van der Merwe, if I have to tell you that, then please keep listening to us, because you need to know things. You need help. You need a tremendous amount of help. Right. And then the Royal Penis, Blair King Horn. The King Horn. The King of the Horns. Right. I have England and Ireland.
00:08:50
Speaker
So we'll start with the host in England. A lot of highly picked props for England. I'm only interested in Genj. Jinx is fine. Not a big deal.
00:09:03
Speaker
I'm good with, I'm good with that. If you've gone, if you've gone that route to stardom, um, it told you, or I don't love either. I told you or chess them and Jessam's got the cheaper option. So if you are looking for a bargain, maybe that's it. Uh, the back rowers, I don't want anybody, but Earl.
00:09:22
Speaker
Mitchell's out. So don't so those of you that have him pick get rid of him Who was out if they play what's up? Who'd you say was out? Mitchell? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah If they keep picking forward yes play them he'll keep kicking I'll be that well apparently Smith is healthy so That would make me ecstatic. Yes Slays useless get rid of him
00:09:51
Speaker
Freeman's the only back three player I'm interested in England as well. He's been probably the most consistent. So give him, so if you got him, give him a whirl. He's a better option. He's better at price than Stewart, I believe. So yeah, that's okay with me. And then for the Irish.
00:10:09
Speaker
For a long importer, man, for the price, I'm not loving it, Porter, if you have to. She ends a go. Burn or Joe McCarthy, I'm okay with both of those. For the back row, trio. Doris Orvander, Fleer Doris is my favorite right now. Gibson Park, yes. Crowley, yes. Aki or Henshaw, they're both kind of 12-ish, so I don't really love either one of them, although they might find room.
00:10:37
Speaker
who's playing thirteen, I think it's Henshaw. So that might be a sneaky option. And it also depends on if he's running it at Slade. If he's running at Slade. I'm assuming he's going to.
00:10:49
Speaker
It's not like even have shown the wherewithal to change when things are going sideways, right? Right. Well, that's the question though, because again, last time out, they pulled Ford, Slade, like the guys that we've been talking about as dragging this team down, they were gone by the like what, 50 or 60 minute mark. So I honestly,
00:11:15
Speaker
I don't know what Bortho is going to do. I think he's given some of the guys a fair shot and they've butchered it as we kind of expected. I honestly wouldn't surprise me to see Tui and Ollie as the 12 and 13. Possibly. Although I don't really like Tui, but I'd rather have Tui than Slade at this point. We're scary. Right. Back three.
00:11:40
Speaker
I think Keenan banged up, but low in Nash. Yes, and Nash is obviously the sexier price of the two. Give it a good old go.
00:11:54
Speaker
Also, before we move on, did you watch the sevens at all with DuPont helping France win? Yeah. How hilarious was it that they're playing the UK team and they play God Save the King. You can tell the Scottish and Welsh are not having it. What the fuck is wrong with you? That cracks me up. I love it. Yeah. It's like with the freaking
00:12:23
Speaker
To that point, the Australian commentary in Super Rugby must annoy the shit out of some people in the UK because they call it the UK Premiership. I'm like, no, it's actually England. Wales and Scotland will fight you for that because they're not in the Premiership. They're in the URC. It's usually Tim Horan who's kind of a muppet in his own right. Same idea. Same idea.
00:12:48
Speaker
Of course, they're not going to go out and play your best at that point. It's not a great feeling. Anyways, Wales versus France. Man is a cheap option and has been squaring pretty well. In Subaru, I throw him on your bench, depending on match-ups here or there. When it is a yes. Kind of the same way though, he's a bench option, but also worth a start.
00:13:15
Speaker
and Dyer is a gamble, and I'm not sure I would look anywhere else on that Welsh team. Right. Especially with France. I think they're going to be a little worried this week. Angry. Angry. You cannot come out and do what you did against freaking Italy and not come out really pissed off the next time. Right. You have to. You have to have a reaction. Malvaca, Tulagi,
00:13:39
Speaker
as I Americanized the shit out of that name. Oh, yes, you did. That was my, my first year French accent. Pinot and Ramos. Absolutely. Yeah. You know, you're looking at for France and they're going to angry. Yeah. All right. Uh, so that's it.
00:14:09
Speaker
So of the weeks. Yeah. Of the weeks. Um, yeah. So I didn't screw around once again, and I'm going to go, I think he'll be much better. He actually might be playing 10 this week. Um, uh, Thomas Ramos is my star of the week. Fair enough. And I'm saying the same game, going to Charles, Charles, Oliver, Oliver, Oliver.
00:14:33
Speaker
Super brew. Here we go. Oh, no, we didn't do that. You're great. Oh, you just said, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I'm getting ahead. I'm excited for the super rugby too, but yeah. Well, I mean, my city of the week's very unexciting because I don't think he's got play like to your point, but if he is fucking ditch Henry Slade. So, so very fast. Yeah. So poor. Um, and then mine's George North because as much as I love the guy, um,
00:15:03
Speaker
Yeah, he's going to be facing an angry Fiku. That's not good for anybody. I mean, there's going to be no Dante, but at the same time, he's not going to be running a Dante's channel. He's going to run a Fiku's channel in Fiku. He's going to be right at that channel, man. Might be the best defensive center on this planet at the moment. Yeah, he's right up there if he ain't. That's for goddamn sure. All right, so now we're on Supergirl. There we go.
00:15:29
Speaker
So for Moana, I don't love any of their front rowers per se for Super Blue, maybe Malolo, he's kind of a decent price of 2 million, so it's not bad.
00:15:43
Speaker
Overall, I don't mind the team as a play in FRD, though. So if you have that group, off you go. I'm all right with it. Certainly. I'm not interested in anybody in the second row. Probably Miracle is the only one I'd be interested in either format for back rowers at the moment. That might change. Get rid of Inari. Bye. Okay, bye. Haveli's good in both formats right now, but you do need to give him the tea.
00:16:09
Speaker
if you got to pick him in Subaru because he's a fly half. But he's been kicking. He's been given the options to kick a bunch. So. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. I've yet to see. I have Tawala and it's disappointing that he's not done much from full back, but give it one more week and then you can ditch him. Savannah play and then that 12 shirt is really annoying as he's a back three and a nuts head back in either format. So oops.
00:16:35
Speaker
Vinay, the Vilyame, that's probably an option I would go seek if he's not on a team and also maybe as a cheap option in Supergirl. So for the Rebels,
00:16:50
Speaker
I still need to see it from Tupo. I will say he's only a million in Subaru. The Rebels front row, man, if that's your option, I'm sorry. I don't love it. I'm not interested in either. Go pick up the Moana front row. Yeah, trade them out.
00:17:15
Speaker
I love Sakai Lotto, but I just don't think he's worth rostering in FRD and I haven't been super real and I'm ready to just throw him into the ditch at the moment. Leota is probably the only one I'm interested in in either format for back row.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah. The Scrum apps are kind of a mystery ish type of thing going on there. I'm not interested. Carter Gordon. Yes. Yeah. Oh, also on that point, how much better the rebels play without Jack Monder at nine? A lot. Oh, I'm going to box kick you. Everybody watch watching. Are you watching? Right. Everybody watch. I'm going to box kick right now. You're not an exit or anymore. This is not that's not how we play. That's not how it's going to go. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, Carter Gordon should be a no brainer.
00:18:06
Speaker
Um, centers.
Team Strategies & Player Trades
00:18:10
Speaker
Yeah. Not interested. You know, I have Matt Proctor and FRD and I wish I didn't. Well, so at this point he did, he did get hurt. So, um, okay. Well, maybe I can touch him. Good. You might. Yeah. Uh, back three. Tell away. Yes. I can do a lucky Anderson. I have him and I'm ready to fucking throw him away. Um, yeah. So that's that.
00:18:33
Speaker
I would still stick with Dalgouno because he scored already the first week too. And this matchup should be okay. But keep an eye out. Well, he should be your third OBF 3 on FRD. Yes. And maybe only your bench spot in Superbrew. Yeah, Superbrew, no, I wouldn't touch him with Superbrew. But FRD, yeah. Right. Right. Taz Highlanders. Again,
00:19:00
Speaker
Highlander's defense is suspect, so Taz should find holes. The front row on on FRD, yep, go for it. The back row of Fergusley Warner, Gamble, Gleason, they roll the dice with them, certainly in FRD, maybe not so much Subaru. Jake Gordon, yes. Tane Edbed, he's my backup 10 because he's cheap.
00:19:27
Speaker
I would highly suggest that because, you know, eventually, you know, whoever you have, like, because I have Damien McKenzie at my 10 because he's just going to do a lot of kicking. But but Ed Metis is I think going to be certainly up there. And he was somebody who I waited on an F.R.D. and that might be paying off in the near future. Also, was it Mark? Thank you for trading him to me.
00:19:55
Speaker
In Pink Slips, I very much appreciate it. In Pink Slips, oh man. For Lola Cio, yeah, you can have Lola Cio, I'll take it, thank you. And then the Marta's back. Yeah, mine worked out too. Yeah. Mine worked out too, actually. Actually, I think ours worked out, the one I traded worked out for both of us. We both had guys go well, so.
00:20:11
Speaker
It's up to the works. For the Highlanders, Withy and Harmon are pretty good for FRD. They're bubbles for Superbrew. They're decent, but they're not going to... Their ceiling is low. That's the problem.
00:20:28
Speaker
Got to do it two pods in a row. Um, but he's in, but he's a must start at any, uh, at, at this point in any format. Um, I think I have him on my team as a, as, as my bench, I might slot him in there this week because of the match-ups. Um, yep. There we go. That's the one.
00:20:47
Speaker
We got the draw and we got the Crusaders. So we'll see how this goes. This is in Fiji, I believe. It's not. It's in. Hold on. I'm thinking, you know, it's the Moana was in. Where are they? Yeah, in Churchill Park. OK. It was one of those. I think maybe it was the Moana one is might be in New Zealand. Yeah, no, no, no.
00:21:19
Speaker
Yeah. They're in Waikato. Okay. So that's, that's what it was. I had the wrong Island team. Sorry. Proceed. Attaboy. Yeah. No, they're down on Fiji. So that, so yeah. Uh, crusaders didn't have a fun trip there last time. If you recall the props for
00:21:37
Speaker
Jura, Natavia is my favorite of the two, although I'm not sure I want either one of them this weekend. Ikanavara has been pretty good in Superbrew. The whole front row, I think I'm okay with playing still. I know they've been a little disappointing. Hold on. Itania Waka, I would definitely play because
00:21:58
Speaker
He's got two weeks of 12 and 14 so far in Superbrew and he's a lock. He's been playing back row. So I think he's back row in FRD though. So let's don't, don't go looking for that one. Out now back rows. Kenneth Kavata is probably my favorite. I have darling, you know, I'm actually kind of hating it. So I'm going to switch them out if I can help it.
00:22:28
Speaker
Lamanna, yes, Scrumhalf. He's liable to go for a snipe, so you can at least start him in FRD comfortably. Maybe not so much in Super Roo. Armstrong Ravula, okay, I think is okay. I mean, definitely in FRD, probably not in Super Roo. Let's put it that way.
00:22:48
Speaker
Put that way. Masi. Yeah. Masi for sure. Valta for sure. Both formats. I'm okay with that. And then I'm removed to Munda. And then you said just essays back this week, possibly as well. Yep. Yep. They used slated to be back after two weeks. So, okay. This is, this is, this would be his first potential start. Mama. I might consider him as well. So yeah, I would still consider him. Especially in FRD.
00:23:14
Speaker
Yeah, if he started, yeah, so absolutely an FRD player. Yeah. Crusaders don't love most of their front row. So and I guess it still makes their front row somewhat playable because one of their guys might fall over the line, in which case your benefit, fine. Barrett's the only lock I would consider, but he's been okay. He's not putting them in. He did well week one, but last week he was pretty poor. They have no back rowers. I want anything to do with maybe Tom Christie. That's it.
00:23:45
Speaker
Hotham's the only halfback. I want anything to do with the others are meh Flyhaps Rayana. Hopefully is back at 10. That's kind of that. He was the better of the guys that they played so Kamara look pretty terrible Center's Amur. Yes, Haveli, FRD only And then back three, yeah, you're gonna play Sebu and definitely play Mako Springer Fiyaki
00:24:13
Speaker
A little hot and cold for me. Shafiyaki, so don't love it. Yeah, that's the problem. Definitely not in Subaru. Should be maybe your third OB in FRD. Put it that way. Fair enough, next. Brumby's Force.
00:24:34
Speaker
Um, Brumby's, I would say look for a big bounce back game. Um, the chief's defense is still solid and the force is a sieve. Um, their front row, especially Slipper and Lonergan go right ahead. Um,
00:24:48
Speaker
as you said with Tupo, he disappointed me, but I sat slipper because again, chief's a mistake. Won't make that mistake again. We'll keep Tupo on my bench. Does that reserve option just in case because he's so cheap, but no slipper will not leave as few as long as he's starting. Right. Nick Frost, excellent option in either format. Valentini, Kale, I think, yeah, again, Kale had a down week. Everybody
00:25:16
Speaker
got their balls up because of what he did week one. Again, Chiefs ran into a buzz saw, didn't get the same kind of opportunities.
00:25:26
Speaker
He will this week. Alessio, yeah, I kind of just mentioned that I was happy to get Edmed instead of him, but Alessio still is a good start because the T and force will give up points. Tool, if I have to tell you tool, keep listening to us because you need to learn. You are a tool. Or no, you just don't know. You obviously are new to these competitions, so you need to know.
00:25:49
Speaker
I'll tell you that. Right is yes. Go for that. And I'm still not sold on the centers or Muirhead. I was very happy to trade Muirhead this past week. Sorry, Justin. Goodbye. Sorry, not sorry. Sorry, not sorry. For the force, focus on that back line. Donaldson, the Mish, Stu, 12, Spink at 13. These are both FRD only. Tia, Tia.
00:26:19
Speaker
Even with the piano on his back, he's been moving. What the hell? Where'd he come from? He hasn't. Yeah, he was on the Chiefs a couple of years ago. He wasn't this good. So I love him. He had one okay, like half season with the Hurricanes. Yeah. Not this, not this.
00:26:34
Speaker
Right. Harry Potter is an FRD anyway. We'll still score you the points even if he doesn't finish or throws a stupid forward pass. It's the meters. Yeah. You take the meters and the line breaks and whatnot. Then Max Burry. Okay. We talked about love.
00:26:52
Speaker
At 15 max burry at 15 kind of yeah, same idea. Yeah Yep, same idea. Yep. He's actually listed as a fly half an FRD exactly. Yeah, he's still yeah, and I think he's in super brew Is he damn? Hold on. Let me find out. Let me Confirm that confirm No pictures players
00:27:18
Speaker
No, he must be outside back lame That's right. Fair enough. But either way you're not good at that point. You're not gonna know he had 18 points last week against the against the rebels All right, fair enough rubble rubble All right, we have debate a big one coming up here Chains and blues
00:27:46
Speaker
It's good with Numea or Lomax. I know Lomax is kind of scored meh, but Numea is good. Amua, yep, for the Hurricanes. Neither lock I'm crazy about, although walk earlier where he's not bad for 3-0 in Superbrew.
00:28:02
Speaker
don't bother picking him up in FRD. It doesn't do you any good. As we talked about before, Lock Eye, great. And Braden Yosei, assuming he's somewhere in that back row this week, that's another good ad. If fighting to tell you to start Roy Guard, then keep listening to this podcast, as Ben has alluded to. I like Brant Cameron, for the most part, but you do need to give him the tee in Superbrew. But yeah, FRD is a totally a start right now. I know it's
00:28:27
Speaker
Gonna be a tough matchup but still. We'll see Billy Proctor and I don't know who else in the midfield. I'm guessing Peter Umaga Jensen. I could be wrong about that though. Because obviously Barret's a cop band. Either of them okay. I love that combination. You know, I love that combination before Jordy Barret moved in there so. Yeah, I still not sold on Jordy at 12 anyway so.
00:28:49
Speaker
Yeah, same. Back three, all three that have been playing of late, good to go in the hole of love and Morby, rock and roll in both formats. Blues. Front row.
00:29:03
Speaker
Tavel's like the highest picked one for the Blues, and I'm not sure I'd like it that much. Eklund does an okay job helping to patch up the holes for a Blues front row group, so that's okay, although he hasn't been great thus far this year, but give him a minute. That's fine. Second row, none. Obviously, to 2-2 and probably in the back row, no problem there.
00:29:29
Speaker
Um, half back. I don't love Christie, you know, and I don't think, um, for not, he's going to do the same thing. So maybe avoid that group altogether. Uh, parapheta in FRD. Absolutely. In super brew, you do need to give him the T and get back three players. So just keep that in mind. Maybe you don't need to give him the T. Um,
00:29:52
Speaker
Don't bother with Plummer. Assuming Rico's healthy, he's going to be a definitive go. And basically whoever's at 13, because I'm OK with AGLM there, too, if he comes back and plays that spot.
00:30:05
Speaker
And then I would say Parafetta, I would say Parafetta needs the T because yeah, 39, 39 points, 16 of them off the T this so far this year. It's yeah, he needs that. Otherwise he's not. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. No, no, I totally agree. Talia, Clark. Yes. Like dumb. Don't mess about. I'm not sold on Sarn Sullivan. So no start of an FRD if you have to, but definitely keep away from it in super real.
00:30:38
Speaker
And then last one, Red's Chiefs from the Reds. Again, I cannot stress this enough. Expect the muted scores. Nongor is a thing, but he's in the top tier of cost on on Superbrew. McRate and Wilson, you start them anyway, they'll score slightly less. But if you got them, play them. Again, this is all for Superbrew and effort. You're you're playing them anyway.
00:31:05
Speaker
Tate McDermott, Tom Lina, they're okay for FRD this time, but if you've got another option at 10 especially, I would look there. Fluke, Vunavallo, Pattaya, kind of start and pray, and then just avoid them for super brew. On the chief side, obviously, you know where you're going, really looking towards the back, well, the front row in FRD is all right.
00:31:33
Speaker
rest of the forwards, um, if he on, I don't mind by, um, but like Jacobson's not a high score. That's just not what he does. Um, obviously the halfbacks, I wouldn't go so far as to say, get the, even have the backup halfback, um, starting for you in, in FRD and don't want that one of our leagues. Yeah. Worked out. Okay. It'll work out. Okay. Um,
00:32:00
Speaker
And then that entire back line, Mackenzie, you know, Stevenson, especially, like just, yes, go with it. Obviously that then centers, you know, Leonard, Leonard Brown, Tupiah, if, you know, though, just those two, though, not totally sold. Obviously, Verona is all right. I'm the reserves, but I'm not sure if he's going to get it, get a start. I'm assuming it'll be Tupiah and, um,
00:32:30
Speaker
and ALB. Yep. Yeah. I concur with your assessment, sir. Why didn't I concur? All right. Also when Narawa comes back.
00:32:47
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And then I didn't mention him, but yeah, I'll do so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Um, all right. Other weeks.
Fantasy Rugby Advice & Episode Wrap-up
00:32:58
Speaker
So my start funny, you kind of highlight him of all the, of all the ones. Um, yeah, my salary is going to be, uh, chief's full back Sean Stevenson. Mm hmm.
00:33:11
Speaker
Yes, absolutely. He's a star. He's earned it. And my start of the week this week is as Tayn Edbed. Don't sleep on a fly half going against the Highlanders this year. Yeah, it might work out well. It might work out well. Sit. So from same game I mentioned earlier, they seem to have made life hard on this position. Certainly the last week in
00:33:40
Speaker
Slightly less of the week before but that was a really good player and I know this guy's really good But I just don't know but it's gonna be a good week for time Tom Liner. Mmm. Yeah, I think he's gonna Get brutalized. I don't disagree there Yeah, I'm poor fella and I'm saying that's what money don't know what's coming Yeah, same with that same game and the guy we talked about in the last pod Well, I talked about in the last pod is as someone who really just Yeah, this this is not just fantasy wise. This is for
00:34:10
Speaker
for the benefit of the Reds coaches. Jock Campbell said him. Yeah, right. Last guess. Are you listening? Yeah, he's not as like an even against a like a highlanders or or her western force. I don't know that I'd want him playing. So not for my fantasy team against the Chiefs. He. You in trouble, girl. You in trouble.
00:34:40
Speaker
Pick them. Six nations. My son's awake. Good timing, kiddo. Pick them. Italy, Scotland. Scotland. Scotland. Although that's tough because Italy are at home, but. Yeah. I think they'll put up another fight, but I think Scotland will get it done. Yeah. Scotland can smell something in the air here. They might have something going. England, Ireland. Ireland are going to break England's record of
00:35:10
Speaker
consecutive wins, I guess. Is that it? I don't know. Something. Well, France, France, France. Yeah. They're going to be mad. They're going to be angry and big, big, bad, super, um, Moana rebels, Moana. I'm gonna take Moana. Yeah. Yep. That'll look great. Taz Highlanders. Yeah. Taz. I do too. Just cause they're at home. Yeah.
00:35:38
Speaker
This was over the, over the ditch here. I would definitely go with hounders, but, uh, Drew crusaders, three losses in a row for crusaders. No. Yeah. No, I. Yeah. Let's go this way. If that's three losses in a row, you know, people are going to call for Penny's head.
00:35:59
Speaker
Or start it. That's going to be, there's going to be some, yeah. There's going to be some questions. There's going to be whispers. There's going to be whispers that they're running around. People are talking, talking to our people. Brumby's force. Brumby's. Kane's blues. You're going to hate me.
00:36:21
Speaker
but I'm going canes. Sorry. I got room to wiggle. I'm going to go with my chains. Well, no, I mean, I, I, I, I don't think, I think the blues are, are still manifesting. And I think the hurricanes are, are, are there. It'll just be interesting without, without Jordy and all that, see how they do, but I think they got it.
00:36:46
Speaker
Yup. Uh, Red's Chiefs. Chiefs. Chiefs. Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. And that's just because there might be a way, but they're playing in Australia and I don't think there's any Australian teams that are going to touch the Chiefs. Yeah. It would be quite a tall task. Yeah. They do good for them, but I'm not going to predict it. True.
00:37:11
Speaker
Cool. All right. Remember, we remembered how to do this thing twice. Good. Good. Good. Good. Okay. We are back on the saddle. Obviously we'll have our, our list out or, you know, our graphic out, um, Thursday, Thursday. Yeah. Thursday, Friday, Thursday. And then either Friday or Saturday for six nations.
