Introduction and Personal Updates
00:00:08
Speaker
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the fantasy. I'm Ben. Welcome into the fantasy corner. Let's get into the fun stuff first. I'm I have chosen to go with another beer tonight because I can. And last week I was kind of meh this week. I'm feeling a lot better. And that's after New Orleans. So was that right? Yeah. Was that tell you about how about how bad I was feeling last week? Let's put it that way.
International Fantasy Game Discussion
00:00:33
Speaker
Right. Or how, you know,
00:00:35
Speaker
you're just body is 100% alcohol right now anyway it could be it could be oh man it was i mean it was fun but it could be um anyway so uh those of you that don't know there is an autumn uh international automation series fantasy game it's the same type of game that's uh that's out there for um
00:00:59
Speaker
it's like the official Six Nations game as well. It's the same formats, the same website, like you can use your login for that for this. So it's your budget is the stars and not the not necessarily dollars, but that's what you got. And this it's kind of cool because, you know, you got freaking, you know, you got
00:01:16
Speaker
You have Coles, you have Dom Brandt, you have Leech, you have Oxencha if you want, although I don't think he's starting, so I probably shouldn't be picking him. But, you know, you got some really cool names that you don't get to necessarily pick in our fantasy games, so that's always fun. So I've gone for those just because it's fun.
00:01:34
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not sure I would pick Ox, either, because he seems to be having a time on this tour. Yeah, he might be a little too much fun. Right. I'm not sure it's all about the rugby with him right now. Not that that's a bad thing. If that's his role, you know, if it's a tour. Yeah, maybe he's the marler of the tour over there. Yeah.
00:01:55
Speaker
So yeah, there's that. I've tweeted it out. I'll retweet it again tomorrow. Yeah, you probably want to do that too. And I'll put it in the show notes as well. So there's that.
TRM Weekly Recap
00:02:05
Speaker
TRM week six, week seven. I think it's six, seven. We recap. Yeah, there's not a whole lot of movement.
00:02:17
Speaker
There was one little bit of movement. It's at the bottom, right? More movement up the, the, the standings for, for the guys. Yeah. The overall standings. Yeah. Right. Like Anton. Duncan's up inside the top hundred. Oh damn. Good for him. So yeah. So the movement more, uh, in, in that kind of direction. Yeah, that's true. But like Anton didn't even get 400 this week. What the hell, man?
00:02:40
Speaker
That's harsh, man. He's having a rough go. He's having a rough year in this comp. I need my rabbit to chase, Anton. This is not helpful. You're not playing your role very well, man. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's it. Oh, he just had, I mean,
00:03:00
Speaker
He had some guys had to have a rough week, like Lina with 11. No, I mean, he had laws at 10. So he had some guys who did well. Wells only got 18. He disappointed. Van Staden only got eight. That comes out of fucking nowhere. I think he got a card, didn't he? I don't remember if he got carded. I think he got a card that didn't help. Yeah. Or he went off for HIA or both. Yeah.
00:03:27
Speaker
So just, just a rough week for his, for his line and Robson went out and he got hurt early. Yep. That didn't help either. Little things like that. Just guys, not, not, not hitting their potential and rough way to go. Yeah, absolutely.
League Updates and Player Analysis
00:03:39
Speaker
Um, in D two, again, not a whole lot of movement, but there's an important bit of movement because it's at the top.
00:03:47
Speaker
Cobus has unceded Franco as the leader. Cobus had a good week. 5-12. Well, two 500-point scores in that league. Cobus had 5-12. And John had 5-13. So the standings over that way are up to you. Overall, how many total points? He's got 30-49.
00:04:08
Speaker
Wow. OK, so he's he's only like 40 behind me. Yeah. So he's. Wow. All right. He's taking it down there. He was settled down. He was a top 20 a couple of years ago or top 50 a couple of years ago. So he's he's no slouch. No, no, definitely not. But you can you can chill. Yeah. So it's Cobus Franco, John Terry, Lianu, Yuri, Bob and Larry holding up the basement as he has been for pretty much the entirety of this one.
00:04:36
Speaker
Oh, okay. But in FRW, Anton took down. Duncan was pretty handle a thing almost by 30. Why? Sorry, Carrick lost to George. Justin took down Ben here and hey, I got off the snide. I won by three, I beat Mark. And that's probably gonna be my only win. But that's okay. Make Mark go worse about himself.
00:05:01
Speaker
All right. And then this coming week, we have George against Anton. And then we have Duncan against Ben Carrick and myself. We're going to go at it. And then Justin and Mark are going to do battle. So maybe I can make it two in a row. Who knows? I think Carrick wants to pay me back for the FRD loss in the final last year. So we shall see. Okay.
Upcoming Match Previews
00:05:24
Speaker
And it is now time for that fun little thing that we like to do called start set.
00:05:32
Speaker
All right. Do I start us off or do you? Yeah. Lester Bath is Friday night, I believe. So that's you. All right. There we go. Friday Night at Wilford Road. Who the fuck knows what bath team is going to show up? But we know it's just not going to be good enough for Lester the way they're playing.
00:05:52
Speaker
I think Nick Dolly is going to get a look and I think he's going to be a little angry. So, um, I would go ahead and start him. Um, Wells and stamen, both, both locks, especially if we start getting the, the line outs, one points, but I realized that's not TRM's fault, but, um, yeah. Anyway, um, Jacqueline portly. Yes. Ford. Yes. Uh, Scott and Adolo Potter. All, all. Yes. Scott might be with, with, uh, Scotland.
00:06:21
Speaker
Oh, well, then fuck that. That would be dead suck then. But either way, Nidalo Potter for for bath done. Ollie Fox, I'd have on your bench, Cipriani and read. And I would just sit Rocco da Gutti and Will Muir. They're not going to have a good go of it. Probably quite a few missed tackles between the two of them. Right. Yeah, unfortunate. All right. Series in the exiles.
00:06:51
Speaker
Welcome in the Irish to town for the Saracens. So Andy Christie cost about 145 scored well on the one start. He played at least 60 minutes against in and London Irish aren't particularly strong against blanks. So if you need kind of an off the wall one, there you go. There's a thumbs up. I don't mind Vencell or La Davies this week.
00:07:13
Speaker
Uh, Irish are 11 points against in scrum house. And I don't love, I listen, but they're not scoring either. Well, okay. They haven't played anybody this bad. So, so to their credit, uh, Vince Hill, I think is scoring at a slightly better clip. You know, he's only got one start. Um, so he's probably the guy, but a lot of Davies might actually make sense this week.
00:07:32
Speaker
But, again, I'm not, I'm trying to get rid of it myself, so. Yeah. For, on the other side of the coin for the series, Nikasikwe, since Opta has decided to fuck things up and not track lineups one for receivers, he's not scored super well and also the exiles are fourth and points against for second rows. So I'm personally going to try and get away from him this week is, you know, to that. So that should probably speak a little bit to that. Yeah, I think I'm swapping him out for Fafita, really, this week.
00:08:02
Speaker
I had a gun for Vita, so that's not a problem. I have Clark, that's the problem. That's the problem. Exiles for the Irish. As big as we've been on Ben White, Nick Phipps has proven to be just as useful as a fantasy scoring sperm half. Saracens are mill the pack against them. And so neither is a terrible option at this point. So thumbs up to both.
00:08:25
Speaker
Tom Parton should be an easy start this week. Fullback is the one-place series, give up points, and he is very good. He'll have a bunch of meters run. So give him a roll. Matt Rodgers, as good as he is, Saracens are very good at keeping Flankers quiet for the most part, number one in points against in fantasy. There are plenty of options out there for flanks. Find another one. On to Bristol versus Worcester.
00:08:53
Speaker
So this is where we're going to find out where if, if, if, if there's a mirage re going on, I guess, um, yeah, there could be all sorts of shenanigans. It could be a Hootenanny, uh, any, any number of these things. Um, Bristol could be, are they turning it around?
00:09:15
Speaker
Probably, but who knows? Wooster, are they turning it around? Probably not, but who knows? But they will be without Duhan, which will limit them. Bristol, I think, are much less hurt by this, with the exception of Sinclair, of course, and Sheedy. But still, for the Bristol Bears, I'm looking at Thacker, yes. If he's one of those guys who should be in your lineup,
00:09:45
Speaker
or at least there's, there's excuse for not having him, but if you have him, you're, yeah, you're doing all right. Um, he'll, you should show. Well, this, uh, you know, he looked pretty back, uh, last weekend, uh, Jonofoa should be a huge, this match. If you haven't dropped Chris Vue for stuff, what's wrong with you? But second off, I think you might've lucked out this week. So, uh, he's, he's actually an attractive option. I think, um,
00:10:08
Speaker
Andy Uren also, knowing that Randall being hurt. Thanks, Eddie, you fucking dick. We didn't talk about that. Yeah, no, we didn't get into that. God damn it. We should have. You should never see this many injuries at a camp like that. Fuck, he's doing something wrong. Anyway. Very. But for the fantasy wise,
00:10:26
Speaker
If they have, you know, Owen Lloyd, attend, no, look, still look elsewhere. No peers. And Pia Dao, yes, he could go off this week. On the Worcester side, maybe Kvesic. Really, Heinz, I think, is a start. And if you've got Shillcock, yeah, because again, Bristol put it in the air. Right. Yeah, yeah, I like him a lot. All right. Sail in Northampton at the AJ Bell.
00:10:56
Speaker
For the Sharks, Tommy Taylor is likely to still be a stale starter this week at hook and no reason to shy away from him if you have him. He scored well since he's gotten that two-shirt and that's Hampton aren't necessarily that great against twos. AJ McGinty, if Sanderson is smart, he'll give him back the damn 10-shirt. That's Hampton our 10th against fly-hats and points against. Give him the K and he'll be good.
00:11:21
Speaker
on the other side of the coin. Bevanrod not been great thus far and I owe him. I own him. So yeah, it's not really great for me to be saying this right now. Northampton are number one against props. So that's not really a whole lot better news for those of you that own him. The 23% of you that own him get the fuck away.
00:11:41
Speaker
for Northampton. Frank Lamani, very likely he's in, because it's looking like Noel. It's Mitchell this weekend for the Saints and Saylor, 8th against Scrumhaps, so that's pretty good, and he's pretty lively, so give him a whack if you got him.
00:11:57
Speaker
Tommy Freeman released by England this week, I believe. So, um, if I read that, right. So sailor and sailor dead last gets full back. So that's a thumb. That's a thumbs up for me. He's good. He's cheap one 51 and also eligible at wing. So you can do that as well. Uh, I love James Grayson. I'm not sure I love him against sale sailor. Number two against fly halves, giving up 19 ish a game, which is really not what you want from your 10 spot. So even with a K that scares the living daylights out of me.
00:12:29
Speaker
All right, off to Sandy Park for Exeter versus Newcastle.
Fantasy League Strategies
00:12:36
Speaker
It's going. Simmons, Sam Simmons, angry. Falcons away, Sam Simmons. OK. Monder. I actually might.
00:12:53
Speaker
I'm saying to start Maunder. Yes, I am. Maybe say it again. Joe Simmons, again, I think that same kind of situation. I think after this past week, there's going to be a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. And Hodge is going to get a look and absolutely deserves it. So he's going to have a chance to make the most of it against against Newcastle.
00:13:18
Speaker
On the Newcastle end, Exeter are quite pointsy when it comes to the front rows. I don't know that I'd recommend starting either of whoever's going to prop for Newcastle in general, but if you end up having somebody who starts from Newcastle this weekend, start them.
00:13:38
Speaker
Robinson should score well in the locks. Peterson too, being a ton of tackles, because really that's all Exeter doing is just running people. Brett Connan should seem likewise, probably have some decent tackle stats. I still think Adam Radwan is a matchup proof start at this point, just because you never know. He scored well against Saris. Wait, did they release him too? I don't think he's on the roster. I thought he was in there.
00:14:07
Speaker
Oh, well, whatever. Yeah, I said they release him to shit. I thought they did. OK,
Referee Interactions Discussion
00:14:14
Speaker
if he's not, he's released then play him. But right. If he's then because he'll be angry, too. But if right. If he's not, then yeah, don't play him. But I would say play Ben Stevenson if he's at 13, because I like the way he's been running and.
00:14:31
Speaker
You know, no slaty should be open up some space for him. Probably Whitten. Roll out Whitten's corpse. Oh, fucking, oh, man. All right. Was in hot ones on Sunday. I would normally say to avoid him, but he'll have the tea.
00:14:52
Speaker
And Harlequin's are 10th against playoffs. Those that have him enjoy the one of the few times you didn't feel confident playing him lately. So good as that. His halfback partner, Francois Huguard, it's his time. Robson is likely out for a bit. Quins are 10th against scrumhaps as well. Porter wouldn't be an awful pick here either if he's the start. So just a couple options there for you. Last week was Gabriel Aguirre's week. This is not however, Harlequin's are second against Hooks. So I would stay away from him.
00:15:21
Speaker
For the Quinn's, it's the return of Stefan Levis. It was great to see him back along with Loco Lowe. He's back. Well, I mean, I wouldn't say great, but it was nice to see him back. I was like, shit, I'm all back. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And Loco Lowe has grown some hair. He looks kind of funny. Yeah, where the hell that goes. Also, you know, going back to, like, sales stuff, how the hell CUNY New Seasons gotten picked for South Africa and Loco Lowe hasn't is fucking beyond me.
00:15:50
Speaker
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get that either. Anyway, I digress. So, yeah, Luis is back. He's 100% a viable fantasy option, especially with players disappearing this weekend for international duty. So he's going to be one of those fan favorites for that sake alone. Jack Walker, those that have lost the likes of Metavacy or Montoya this week. Here you go. Here's your option. Wasser did last against Hooks and he scored well in pretty much every game he's played. I think one bad game and that was it.
00:16:19
Speaker
So give him a give him oral. I'm not saying don't play him and maybe bench him, but Danny care. Uh, watch for only giving up one 20 plus 20 point plus score this year. They're number one against scrum halves. So I don't know. And I can't honestly, I don't know off the top of my head. The only thing is I don't know if they've played any, but they haven't played urine. Uh, yes, they have. They played. No, they haven't played here. Yeah, they have. They played urine and Randall. They didn't do neither one of them did anything.
00:16:47
Speaker
Yeah. Um, but that was with Robson in that, that was with Robson in though. Robson was fucking them up. I remember. Yeah. But that might, that might, that might change. Um, defensively they're not, they're not anywhere equal. Yeah. So we'll find out. We'll find out. I'm probably still going to play care because he is Danny care. Um, yeah, exactly. If you have another option that you like just a tiny bit better, do it.
00:17:15
Speaker
That would be, that would be my advice on that one at least. Right. Oh, and I jacked on it. Rad, Rad, Radwin is on the team. So I fucked up. Oh, he's still on England. He's, he's still on England. So don't, don't start him this week. I take that back. Pulling it back. All right. Oh, and now we're, so we're off to the of the weeks. Yes, we are.
00:17:47
Speaker
Um, yeah, Sam Simmons start. He just started the week. Yeah. I don't think I have to explain myself. No, you probably don't. You probably don't. It's new castle. He's home. He's, he's angry. He's probably, he's going to get like five. He's going to just for fun. And he's going to, yeah, like three in the last 10 minutes or so, just cause it's terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. Uh, all right. I didn't go for quite the low hanging fruit that I probably could have. Um,
00:18:05
Speaker
I think I made mine clear already, so.
00:18:14
Speaker
This guy is also has had a great start to the campaign, and that's a continuation from the end of the season last year for him as well. He's got one game under 20 in his starts and he's playing an opposition that's generous to his planks. Yes, he's gone from one end of the spectrum to the other. For me, my start of the week for round day. Their prime is Quinn's in England. Number seven, Jack Kenningham.
00:18:33
Speaker
Um, yeah. He was my says a week last week. Yes, he was. And he actually, he had what you got like 21. Yeah. Something like that. So yeah. Um, by the way, if, if my non Sam Simmons started the week, cause that's not the right, that is low hanging fruit is Nick Dolly. Nick Dolly. Yeah. Yeah. Also angry. Also, um, someone who just fucking scores and also going against bath. Yeah. So there's that too. Um, so the week.
00:19:04
Speaker
Um, I think I'm stealing one of yours from previous, like one of the last two or three weeks. So I know we won't get the same one. Um, but my set of the week is, uh, the exiles, um, fly half. Oh yeah. Pooh. Baltimore should not be named.
00:19:21
Speaker
Yeah, no, no, no, I totally agree with that one. Yeah, I had him on my list of potentials at least. So there. Nope, not not mine. So we didn't do the same thing. I love this guy, but he's going up against a really tough defense, especially in a position he plays not a single 20 plus point score at his position. Either either of them. So if he gets that much, he'll be the first. So my say of the week for round eight is a bath favorite. They're quick footed young Senator Max Adjoma.
00:19:51
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. He hasn't been scoring well here. So yeah. Sorry. I mean, highly owned, highly talented. Love him. This is the wrong week to play him, unfortunately. Okay. Let's have a little bit of fun.
00:20:09
Speaker
So those of you that don't know the definitive bet was between Ben and myself. And we're not going to pick exactly which one it is because we see lineups and shit come out this weekend.
00:20:24
Speaker
But the bet was between Ben and myself and the fantasy rugby geek, George, who was a Quinn's fan and Ben and I, if you haven't figured it out, we're series guys. So Saracen's one. And so we get to pick a player from George's team that he cannot play this week. And there's- Oh, he has to cut.
00:20:42
Speaker
Does he have to cut him or does he? No, he has to release them. Oh, geez. It's released. No, no, no. This isn't that you can't play. This is a, his is one of your transactions. You're dropping this guy. Oh man. Well, I'm glad we didn't lose them. Shit. I can think of a few guys that would have been cut. Oh man. Okay. Well, so our thinking is either it's, it could be a prop,
00:21:10
Speaker
The likelihood for the Ben and I have picked is either a proper hooker, or maybe like a scrum half or a fly half, because those are the positions that are probably the hardest to fill. Because they just, oh, man, like if you don't have somebody that specific position, you're fucked. So that is what we're thinking. And so on the list is probably JVP.
00:21:39
Speaker
Um, I might put Walker on that list too. Or Hoskins. Well, okay. Let me see. Because, um, well, he still could start. Oh, gray. So he knows out. Yeah. Cause that might have to pick up. This week.
00:21:55
Speaker
over is going to be absolutely fucking trounced this week. So, uh, either way, you'd have to pick up another hooker. Right. Yeah. And then you wouldn't have anything else or just sit there with a fucking black spot on the bench, which is not really a good idea to pick. Like it was a cheaper, Sam cream still hooker eligible.
00:22:15
Speaker
I don't remember. He was one of the cheapest options out there. I remember he used to be hooker eligible. Let me look. This is fun. He does have a significant number of fly halves possible. He's got Rob Dupriya, Yoan Lloyd,
00:22:34
Speaker
BJ VR who's fly half eligible. And that's been super helpful. I think I had him at nine or at the bench spot at the half back bench spot. Yeah. Yeah. Um, because, or yeah, whenever that is 20, um, I put him there and he got me like 10 points cause I didn't have anybody else. It's like, yeah, that's, that's huge. Um, maybe a fresh could play for Bristol. So he's got four potential players.
00:23:03
Speaker
So fly half might not be the way that kind of screws that. Yeah. I don't think fly half's the way to go. He does only have, and he has one, two, three, four center eligible players to fall back. Yeah. So you know what? I think fullback might, might be the one. Yeah. Right. But look at his options, but value for value. Look at his options besides green.
00:23:33
Speaker
George, your whole fucking thing is getting shown up here. Yeah. And even if they pull, and I have cross tail, but yeah, I don't know if that's going to do a whole lot of good for him there.
00:23:48
Speaker
No, so. But he does have two, he has two props that are away and international duty Genshin and Riccioni. Right. So what if we dropped one of his others, which is either Hoskins or Bevanrod. So he'd have to start Bevanrod. And then have a pickup of three shitty ones. Yeah, that would be mean. Yeah, that's probably gonna be the picker.
00:24:14
Speaker
That's going to the top of the list, but that way, right. That's, um, yeah, it's going to be hard to pass up, George. Yeah. It's going to be hard to pass up. Let me just check one thing here. Cause I want to see cause it's hard not because Bevin rot hasn't been scoring either. So it's no, no, no, no. So the,
00:24:40
Speaker
Hmm. Here's the fun part for like, I mean, yeah, I guess you just pick whoever up, but yeah. Okay. So that might be the winner, but we'll see. We'll figure that out. Okay. But yeah, that might be the winner. I enjoy this. And we're probably gonna fucking eat this in like six months when it's on the other side of the coin here or whatever it is two months. Yeah.
00:25:02
Speaker
I hope sorry, sweet. Yeah. That return trip's going to be a bitch. Oh shit. All right. Let's do the picking of them. And I, I lost the game to you because I was stupid, but I'm not going to be that dumb no more. Okay. Which way, which one did we get? Which one did Maria? I was silly thinking bath might actually fucking show up, but no, no, no.
00:25:32
Speaker
I'm not making that mistake either this week. I was very wrong about that. I will avoid this week. Yeah. All right. Um, Friday night, Lester bath. Lester. Yep. Uh, series and exiles hosts. Yep. I think I'm like, I, I would maybe have second thoughts if it was Irish we're, we're hosting right now. Cause of Saracen's coming off of that, um, that win, but
00:26:01
Speaker
They're at home. Home cooking's good. Bristol and Worcester. Bristol? Bristol. Yeah. Hmm. Sail, Northampton. This is an interesting one. I'm inclined to pick Northampton because I think they're going to play the better rugby, but I also want to know if AJ is playing 10 for sale. Because if he is, then that would be the winner.
00:26:27
Speaker
Yeah, but I don't think it matters. I think, I still think Grayson is quality enough too. And the Proctor is back and Scoson is just, the Saints have so much of an advantage. It's so many positions, even with the internationals away. Slade home was released, so. Yeah, I'm going with the Saints.
00:26:52
Speaker
Yeah, slate home is released. Freeman's release. So that gives them options back in the middle as well. They don't have to play. Hutch is sitting at full back, right? Who he had. He had a bad game at 13 or 15. I'm sorry. He was not. It was not his natural position.
00:27:07
Speaker
No, he was, he played it like he was a center. Right. Absolutely. Yeah. Oh, I carry here. Yeah. He showed well, but he made some pretty poor decisions. Super poor. Uh, exit our new castle at Sandy park. Exit our, uh, exit her. Yeah. Wasquens.
00:27:34
Speaker
I think Quinn's are going to be slightly ticked off. Yeah, I'm taking Quinn's because the likelihood is Jamie Goppard is out. So they literally have no sinners, like who's against Esterhazen and Norsua.
00:27:53
Speaker
who's going to do it? Nobody is not going to do it. No, the trial line is going to attack her attack Lester Hayes and probably maybe they'll put like Willis at 12. Right. Just to take care of him. Yeah. Just to be like, that's your job. Look after this dude. Don't let him get through everything else. We'll take care of. Right.
00:28:17
Speaker
Yeah, we'll see. Okay. So I mean, the saving grace for wasps is that the CBS but I don't know if that's good. No, they're they have had too many injuries. I feel so I that sucked for gop earth. Like and for the wasps. It's just like, yeah, that's what I was really pissed at Williams. That's what that's what and it's one of those helmeted guys that you're like, fuck you, dude, this is your person. I don't want playing rugby.
00:28:41
Speaker
Right. Like you shouldn't be on the pitch and you're here. You are. And it's like, it's not because of stuff like this. It's cause you suck everything else anyway, but then you do shit like this and no, get the fuck off. Yeah. You got four weeks. So good. Good. I hadn't seen that. So he's out till about a month for about a month and hopefully on those prem cup games too. Cause I'm going to shave you. Mr.
00:29:07
Speaker
Right. That would kind of be shitty if he, yeah. No, I think it gets off light. I think you should be out until middle of December easily. Yeah. That's my see after Christmas. Yep. We will. Yeah. And then champions cup is coming up to the European games are coming up soon too. So we'll say you're, you're up. Okay. Oh yeah. Actually I had a question cause I had, I had not seen the, uh, um, the, the sanctions. Did, did visa get anything? I didn't see any.
00:29:36
Speaker
I didn't see anything. I was wondering if he didn't. And I wonder if the equipment manager, whatever it was for... You got a match. You got a match. Okay. The one that told Whitten to fuck off or Tempest to fuck off. Yeah, I guess. Is that what he said? Yeah, he said fuck off. And that was after he produced the red card to Williams, I think, too. Like, yeah, you're kind of a dick. Fuck you, too. And I know Temple is kind of a fucking asshole, but, man,
00:30:06
Speaker
there was the right decision all the way around. It was absolutely the right decision. He had no business. He didn't come through the back of the rock. He came through the side. And I think that I don't think was even brought into play. I don't think they noticed that. And that kind of pissed me off because it's like, he's getting off fucking light. And then he got red dirt.
00:30:25
Speaker
And yeah, either way, but that like, he should have gotten like, I know there's no double red, but it's like, that should be like almost a double sanction for both. Like it was because it was just that much worse. It wasn't just that it was reckless play. It was that what he wasn't allowed to do what he was doing. No, but yeah, doing it.
00:30:41
Speaker
It was pretty bad. No. So yeah, yeah, that guy got a match as well, which is, you know, honestly, I want, I want referees to feel free to take control of that shit. If they've got somebody frigging barking at them or doing things they shouldn't be that are from the, you know, the staff.
00:30:58
Speaker
fucking get them out of there. It's got to be a point of emphasis now because we've seen enough touchline interactions or back behind the tri-zone interactions that it's got to be policed. That was good because it wasn't even noticed by anybody except it's between the two of them or so. I didn't hear it over the ref mic.
00:31:23
Speaker
Yeah. He was like, you're gone. He's like, yep. And you're leaving too. I was like, yes, you are. Bye bye.
00:31:31
Speaker
Oh, all right. So we appreciate everybody that hangs out with us. We hope you have been enjoying the format that we've been going through with the two episode thing because I think that seems to be the thing. I think some people are really just keying in on this episode. And that's fine. And I appreciate that. Like you're doing it for you. We understand why you're doing that. And that's why we wanted to do it this way.
00:31:55
Speaker
Cause sometimes you don't want to get through the, the, the Rutgers for the whole, and I get it. Like we'll talk rugby all day long. It doesn't matter if it's fancy or otherwise, but yeah. So we understand that people are getting after this particular episode. So that's why we did it. And it sounds like that's been a positive reception so far. So we appreciate that for everybody.
00:32:16
Speaker
But some fancy corner next week, sorry guys. But we do appreciate it and we will catch you guys for this episode. Obviously, we'll be back to the regular stuff weekly. But for this episode, we'll catch you guys at the end of the month. Have a good one. Later.
