Introduction to Fancy Rugby Yanks and Fantasy Rugby
00:00:29
Jarrod Dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
00:00:31
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm Ben Glauser.
00:00:34
Jarrod Dyke
Let's go fantasy talking, chatting, whatever. Fantasy Garner, that the one. We got there eventually. um
00:00:43
Jarrod Dyke
So we have...
Division 1 Champion: Stu's Victory
00:00:45
Jarrod Dyke
we have Our FRD champion for Division 1, by the way, is Stu. And he walked away with it. Like 70 points, give or take.
00:00:53
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh.
00:00:57
Grumpy Old Prop
That'll do.
00:00:58
Jarrod Dyke
you take
00:00:59
Jarrod Dyke
The Sacco was tighter. This is Mark 1, so Duncan gets the Sacco. But Mark 1 by 3, they were talking about it in our track group there. and like The adjustments went back and forth a couple times, it sounds like.
Close Matches and Sacco Adjustments
00:01:11
Jarrod Dyke
So it was one of those things where it's like, will it or won't it?
00:01:16
Grumpy Old Prop
And i i I won the Sacco game, so yay for me.
00:01:16
Jarrod Dyke
I think someone had one of them had Lockie Anderson.
00:01:22
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, that's good. you just say you know zero points for you.
00:01:24
Grumpy Old Prop
um And then, oh, I need to check it. But Demagnificent, who I need to figure out who that is, um beat Franco 145 to 117. Yeah, won by like over 80 points, 121 138.
00:01:36
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, that was a tiny bit tighter than the other one for us, but that's all right. All right.
00:01:40
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah i want by like
00:01:41
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:01:43
Grumpy Old Prop
um over eighty points one twenty one to thirty eight
00:01:46
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Okay, so you you' were able to overcome it quite easily.
00:01:49
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, well, it helped that I was playing an unmanned team.
00:01:50
Jarrod Dyke
So what we're going to... Oh, unmanned. Yeah, that that does help. That does help. Yeah, you're not wrong. So let's look at this. So we're going to do...
Fantasy Rankings and Player Ownership
00:02:02
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:02:07
Jarrod Dyke
We're going to just kind of talk about rate rankings for each position for each comp here as we go and instead of start sits because we're down to four and 16 each. So, um, and it's obviously fine margins at this point as well with a lot guys just, you know, maybe picking one or two players different than others.
00:02:25
Jarrod Dyke
And that's, that's really where it's at. So looking at like ownership percentage, um, a poker forge or, Dutwot, Genj, Nicky Smith, Obano, Rod.
00:02:41
Jarrod Dyke
but so i think Opoka Forger, we can just kind of plop into our starting lineup automatically and say yes.
00:02:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, he's been he's been fantastic.
00:02:50
Jarrod Dyke
Now.
00:02:52
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:02:53
Grumpy Old Prop
And there's, like you said, they they're you're kind of light on prop options. so
00:02:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:02:58
Jarrod Dyke
who Do you...
00:02:59
Grumpy Old Prop
Although, at the same time, I might go Nikki and Thomas Dutoye.
00:03:02
Jarrod Dyke
go ahead.
00:03:08
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I have all three of them on, personally, so um I'm spoiled with Troy's.
00:03:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Well, there you go.
00:03:14
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, Gensh has been disappointing, I will say that.
00:03:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:15
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:03:16
Jarrod Dyke
Like, for the $3 million that he costs, he's been very disappointing, and he's still highly owned, obviously, people are aren't noticing that.
00:03:21
Jarrod Dyke
um If you're not doing well in your league, I have a hint for you.
00:03:24
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:03:25
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:03:28
Jarrod Dyke
Do you play Dutoy off the bench no matter what, or do you only play him if he starts?
00:03:38
Grumpy Old Prop
It's I he's obviously he's a definite yes if he starts, but.
00:03:44
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:03:45
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:03:46
Jarrod Dyke
I agree with that.
00:03:47
Grumpy Old Prop
it's It depends on who else you got and and and what other trades you might need to make.
00:03:53
Jarrod Dyke
Right. And that was what I was thinking too. Like if you have a luxury of picking, you know, two starters of those top three or four guys, I would go with the
Prop Selection and Management Strategies
00:04:03
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:04:03
Jarrod Dyke
two starters personally.
00:04:04
Jarrod Dyke
um and But if you're tight and like the one position, you can just say, you know what, I have a starter and then I have to talk off the bench. If that's where you have to kind of say, you know what I can't make any transfers with props. That's what going to have to live with.
00:04:17
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:04:18
Jarrod Dyke
You live with it, honestly.
00:04:18
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:04:21
Jarrod Dyke
yeah There's bigger things that you can mess them around with.
00:04:26
Jarrod Dyke
um For the two shirt.
00:04:32
Jarrod Dyke
Most popular is LCD. but
00:04:34
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:04:35
Jarrod Dyke
um Agri. And then after that, in terms of guys that are still playing Montoya.
00:04:42
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. I mean, I've been rocking with Montoya and Claire as my duo for most of the season. Cause I haven't like, and don't have many other Lester players. There's not many that you'd really want. So, um, I'm going to just continue that.
00:04:59
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't have to make trades for now.
00:05:01
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:05:03
Jarrod Dyke
I think this is where the fun stops for LCD.
00:05:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, I think so.
00:05:08
Jarrod Dyke
So I think you're you're got you're more likely to find... You can pick Augur if you want because he's probably going to score just because Bristol seem to find ways more often than not.
00:05:19
Jarrod Dyke
And then Munchoja definitely you know seems to be, this is his last game at Welford Road as well, so don't forget that.
00:05:25
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:05:27
Jarrod Dyke
um Yeah, I like the idea of either one of those personally.
00:05:33
Jarrod Dyke
um Locke's one of those positions that you're probably going to be able to
Back Row Player Analysis
00:05:38
Jarrod Dyke
get away with. like You don't need to pick an LH hasn't met 3 million. get away and pick a Quinru if you really wanted to for 2 million.
00:05:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Although you could you could go with go with a Joe Batley. But I don't know if he's going to get loose.
00:05:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, and I don't know how healthy he is too. That's the other thing.
00:05:55
Grumpy Old Prop
That's also true.
00:05:58
Jarrod Dyke
You know, popularity in terms of that. Yeah. Chesom.
00:06:02
Grumpy Old Prop
But he's, yeah, he's the highest points per game. Oh, except for, well, Ewan Richards. I don't think that counts. I don't think he's going be playing. um
00:06:11
Grumpy Old Prop
But Batley, by far, I mean, i'm I'm trying to go down. It's like Cam Henderson's the next one. And then Ollie Chesham. And they're, you know, full two points behind him per game. So.
00:06:11
Jarrod Dyke
No.
00:06:22
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, maybe not. Depends on where your cash is. Totally depends where your cash is.
00:06:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:06:29
Jarrod Dyke
i'm I'm okay if you go with a ah Cam Henderson and um and a Quinn Rue in the second row if you're trying to put your money somewhere else in like the back row or the back three.
00:06:40
Jarrod Dyke
Certainly makes sense to me. But yeah, just kind of keep your eyes on your money and what the lineups look like. ah Back row...
00:06:52
Jarrod Dyke
mean, popularity-wise, it's Fitz and Liebenberg and Ben Curry. One of those is not going to find space.
00:06:58
Grumpy Old Prop
I can tell you who.
00:06:59
Jarrod Dyke
I
00:07:01
Grumpy Old Prop
um Yeah.
00:07:04
Jarrod Dyke
can almost promise you that. Points per game-wise, you know, the choice is Fitz. Granted, he could easily get bottled up this week. I certainly can understand people shying away from that.
00:07:15
Jarrod Dyke
I'm not dumb. Bayless would be one to consider. Barbara would be another one to consider for off the, ah there's a lot of back rowers off bath that you can consider because they seem to rotate them quite heavily.
00:07:24
Grumpy Old Prop
then
00:07:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, that's the problem too. is because they go They're going to go six two likely. so you you know Whoever you pick might come out quick pretty quick. Yeah.
00:07:37
Jarrod Dyke
who
00:07:39
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. and So it's funny. We had, we were talking about crackdown, the break, like, They're actually about the same on a point points per game basis and they're the same price.
00:07:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:07:49
Jarrod Dyke
So for me, it's who is the better player. And for me, it's Lievenberg.
00:07:51
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. And he's also been shit hot lately. um
00:07:55
Grumpy Old Prop
With, so he's been, he's been hitting double digits except for, so except for round 16, a home match against sale. And I, there may be extenuating circumstances around that. Where did he, um I can't remember if he came out or or maybe he got, I don't know if he got injured or or something like that.
00:07:56
Jarrod Dyke
So there's that answer.
00:08:09
Grumpy Old Prop
I, I just don't remember the game.
00:08:10
Jarrod Dyke
Mm hmm.
00:08:11
Grumpy Old Prop
um But other than that, he's gotten 10 and a half or more since round 12. So that's one, two, three, four, sorry one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven of the last eight matches.
00:08:28
Grumpy Old Prop
He's gone double digits with four of them being over 15 points.
00:08:29
Jarrod Dyke
Pretty good.
00:08:35
Grumpy Old Prop
So and including, including against Saracens who, as we know, crush,
00:08:35
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:08:37
Jarrod Dyke
There you go.
00:08:41
Grumpy Old Prop
forwards so and he got 19 and he got 19 against aries so ponder that
00:08:43
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. And they and they they won that match too, so.
00:08:48
Jarrod Dyke
Pretty good.
Halfback Debates: Randall vs. Vanport Fleet
00:08:50
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Halfback. Randall's like points per game miles better than most. Do you maybe consider Vanport Fleet or Spencer?
00:09:04
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah but yeah
00:09:06
Jarrod Dyke
mean, you can pick two, but you can pick two, but who are you putting in the lineup?
00:09:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. And like, if any if it's going to be anybody, it's probably going Randall. um Because then you look at those two, it's four versus, you know, four you know five million for Randall, four for Van Port Fleet.
00:09:16
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:09:23
Grumpy Old Prop
So you're one apart, but it's, you know, four points difference.
00:09:25
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:09:27
Grumpy Old Prop
So I might pay for that.
00:09:29
Jarrod Dyke
yeah
00:09:34
Jarrod Dyke
All right. um So this will be an easy one. Finn, AJ, Pollard, Ford, rank them.
Fly-half Rankings and Performance Expectations
00:09:42
Grumpy Old Prop
um Finn first because again they could get you know Bristol could give up 50
00:09:51
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:09:53
Grumpy Old Prop
Pollard and Ford are going to be kicking for posts a lot um but then McGinty still you know he's still what fourth highest and that's including Donahue and Spiel so if you look at like the people actually played significant amounts this season Finn and AJ are the top two by almost two points until you get to Pollard and Ford.
00:10:16
Grumpy Old Prop
So I, to me, it's Finn. It's basically in the, in the order that it's in actually, um, in points per game. So Finn Russell, one AJ, two Pollard, three, Ford, four. four
00:10:28
Jarrod Dyke
There we go.
00:10:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Cause AJ, and that's, that's, that's a, you know, uh, you're going with AJ and that's what I'm probably going to do.
00:10:31
Jarrod Dyke
One the...
00:10:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, cause you already have him on my team. I don't want to make another trade. Um, it's going to be a hope and a prayer that they, they throw up some points.
00:10:46
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, they'll get shut down. One of the harder positions to find scores, Revolvo, think he's in most teams at this point.
00:10:54
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, that's all right.
00:10:58
Jarrod Dyke
And then it's kind of tough because while Dupree is listed as yeah one of the higher scores points per game, that's factoring in his kicking points, which he won't get any this week unless Ford drops late or is hurt during
00:11:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep. Mm hmm.
Center Performance and Fantasy Value
00:11:13
Jarrod Dyke
the game.
00:11:13
Jarrod Dyke
But you can't bank on that. um Talk about gambling. You would need to stay away from Vegas if you're doing that. um
00:11:24
Jarrod Dyke
And then after that, it's like, ooh, there's... You could go with one of the bath guys. so I'm sure some people say go with Kata, but I don't like the risk of the card there, so that that scares me.
00:11:33
Grumpy Old Prop
No, I don't. Plus, his points for game are shit anyway.
00:11:39
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. I think if you wanted to get off the wall, you go Mahasi White.
00:11:43
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't think that's a, and that's actually, I don't even think that's off the wall to be, you know, he's 11.4 points per game, which is decent, especially among, you know, there's like, um, Will Joseph is up there higher than him, but he only played two matches.
00:11:49
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:12:00
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, like, and Masi White didn't, didn't play a lot himself.
00:12:03
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:12:05
Grumpy Old Prop
So there's that, but, um, Um, his scores really tell the tale. He's played two, four, six, seven matches, um, five of them above 10 points, which again, that's, that's quality. The, the one of them that, that he didn't get above 10 was, was Quinn's on the road. So there's that too.
00:12:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Um,
00:12:29
Jarrod Dyke
Can be tough, you know.
00:12:30
Grumpy Old Prop
he's he's scored well against a lot of these teams. Lester on the road in round 16, he put up 13 points. So there you go.
00:12:39
Jarrod Dyke
There you go.
00:12:41
Grumpy Old Prop
And again, if Kata, if Kata does go out, that's Mossy White's gap.
00:12:43
Jarrod Dyke
Something to consider heavily, I'd say.
00:12:48
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's... That's that space for him. Uh... Back three is going to be a litany of choices and ideas. Um...
00:12:57
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
00:13:00
Jarrod Dyke
do you spend the 10 million on Ivetoye first?
00:13:01
Grumpy Old Prop
new
00:13:04
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Solves that. um
00:13:10
Jarrod Dyke
And then, yeah, I mean, you have your, your spoilt for choice really with, especially with the three guys from Leicester.
00:13:13
Grumpy Old Prop
It could be, yeah. there
00:13:17
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:13:17
Jarrod Dyke
You know, you're looking at, ice so I'm hoping Coca is healthy for bath.
00:13:22
Jarrod Dyke
So that's a possibility there. I like me or myself to glam bills in there as well. You know, there's,
00:13:26
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:13:28
Jarrod Dyke
yeah and they're I think the struggle for me with Bristol is like Lane's hurt, and that means Ibotoya is going to be pretty much on his own right now because they may throw Revalvo on the wing, but he's not he's not a wing.
00:13:33
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:13:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:13:42
Jarrod Dyke
He's a good player. He's not a wing. So...
00:13:44
Grumpy Old Prop
I mean, i assume i my I assume he's going to be on the wing. Because, yeah, he played well.
00:13:49
Grumpy Old Prop
He played well out there last week. Um, and he's played well there, you know, even, you know, whenever he's been put there, it's not, you're right. It's not his best position, but when you have, you know, the players that the James Williams and your, and, and the, um, Bernard Johnson and Rendsburg, it's just, and Revovo does have the speed to do it.
00:13:49
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:13:59
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:14:09
Grumpy Old Prop
It's just not his, it's not natural for him. So he'll help make his mistakes, but those mistakes don't really bite you in fantasy.
00:14:13
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:14:15
Grumpy Old Prop
So like you get all the positive out of it. So, um, that'll help bit away. It gives them space, but there's just too much out there. Like coconut Siga.
00:14:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, I get, you know, the, ah on the other side of it.
00:14:28
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:14:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, and, and as you said, the, the, all the back three from the sailor are, are quality. Um, there's no reason not to think carpenter won't, couldn't go off, um, or read, um, or Roebuck.
00:14:40
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:14:46
Jarrod Dyke
So that brings me to... Brings me to, you know, Sale, like... We don't think of them as a big attacking team, but they do have some good
Wing Players: Sale's Impact Potential
00:14:54
Jarrod Dyke
wings. so of the ones that potentially could be starting, which I i believe will be Carpenter, Roebuck, and Reed, assuming all are healthy and all all are picked.
00:15:04
Jarrod Dyke
um Which one of those three are you really keeping your eyes eyes on and probably at least getting onto your bench, if not into your lineup?
00:15:13
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
00:15:15
Jarrod Dyke
I like Reed, personally.
00:15:16
Grumpy Old Prop
i Yeah, I have Carpenter already, so he's just going to stay. So have to make another trade.
00:15:20
Jarrod Dyke
There you go. I'd say i mean i' say it's hard to go wrong, assuming that...
00:15:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. I unfortunately have, I have four each of Gloucester and Sarri's players um residual.
00:15:26
Jarrod Dyke
they don't get totally donated.
00:15:34
Jarrod Dyke
you did not get a lot of guys out last that's round, did you?
00:15:35
Grumpy Old Prop
I couldn't, i'd like I like, I had to make the, trade I had to make the trades I had to make.
00:15:37
Jarrod Dyke
Ooh.
00:15:40
Grumpy Old Prop
So I'm going to be kind of judicious about it.
00:15:42
Jarrod Dyke
Ooh.
00:15:43
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:15:45
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:15:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. So there's that.
00:15:48
Jarrod Dyke
It is what it is.
00:15:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
Challenges with Bath's Lineup
00:15:51
Grumpy Old Prop
especially with Bath not having anybody in the lineup last week. Like, fuck, I'm not going to pick up one of those Bath players because none of them are goingnna play.
00:15:57
Jarrod Dyke
It was hard to ignore the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah i agree.
00:15:59
Grumpy Old Prop
um So, um yeah, I had to kind of stick with guys that I had and some in some cases. Like, I still stuck with Dutoit.
00:16:09
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:16:09
Grumpy Old Prop
He just didn't play. And now it's like, okay, so he's he's there. That's good.
00:16:14
Jarrod Dyke
Well, now you have Emily's, yeah. Yeah,
00:16:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:16:20
Jarrod Dyke
let's go to the other one.
00:16:26
Jarrod Dyke
supers more choice, obviously more teams. du Um, but let's start with the boys up front. I I've had both these guys in and out quite a bit.
00:16:39
Jarrod Dyke
Um, in terms of the two guys that are most picked, um, right now, those of you that are picking Xavier Numea, stop. Um, do your favor right now. Stop.
00:16:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Just...
00:16:49
Jarrod Dyke
You ain't that good to stop. Okay. I like the dude as a, because he's a hurricane and he doesn't play badly.
00:16:51
Grumpy Old Prop
No, and he... Mm-hmm.
00:16:56
Jarrod Dyke
But in terms of fucking fantasy points, that is not the guy you want. No, no, no.
00:16:59
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:17:01
Jarrod Dyke
Spend your money elsewhere. You can spread it on pretty much any other guy that's in that same
Optimizing Fantasy Team Structure: Props and Locks
00:17:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. Yeah. I mean, I even go like, yes, that is, that's also true.
00:17:05
Jarrod Dyke
price range. You got to do just as well, if not better.
00:17:09
Jarrod Dyke
Zayn Nongor comes to mind.
00:17:12
Grumpy Old Prop
And then, but how many do you have per team? Okay. Team limit six. So that's a possibility, but look, Alan Alatella is the number one points per game. um
00:17:23
Grumpy Old Prop
Prop.
00:17:23
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:17:24
Jarrod Dyke
And he's one of the most picked. So shocker of the day, right?
00:17:25
Grumpy Old Prop
And he's also likely to be in the semis anyway, given how this is playing out.
00:17:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:17:30
Grumpy Old Prop
So, yeah.
00:17:33
Grumpy Old Prop
And if you're going to go with if you're goingnna go with a Canes prop, go with Lomax, who's actually a higher points per game than Numia.
00:17:34
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:17:41
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Same price too, I think.
00:17:41
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
00:17:42
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:17:42
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, no.
00:17:43
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah. Lower, lower, lower.
00:17:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Lower price.
00:17:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, 3 million versus 4.
00:17:45
Jarrod Dyke
Even better.
00:17:46
Grumpy Old Prop
So...
00:17:46
Jarrod Dyke
There.
00:17:47
Jarrod Dyke
You're welcome. um And then I like to Matthew Williams myself. I'd like to, I've liked him a lot the way he's played this year.
00:17:51
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:17:53
Jarrod Dyke
And um I like him a lot in terms of just when he wears the black shirt as well. So ah that's probably the other guy I'm going with personally at hook for, for both Tunky Aho and Pollard.
00:17:56
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:18:05
Jarrod Dyke
Do you burn a cheese player with Tunky Aho?
00:18:07
Grumpy Old Prop
You have what, six per team? Yeah. Yes. yeah.
00:18:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, i have, I have them both. So, you know, look,
00:18:14
Grumpy Old Prop
oh yeah I have Riccatelli and, well, Parecki, so I've got to get rid of Parecki, but um
00:18:20
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, Pareki's not going to you good.
00:18:21
Grumpy Old Prop
no, not this. Not right now.
00:18:24
Jarrod Dyke
You know, I was hoping we could and we keep the secret weapon, Barry, going in this, but he's on the bench again this week so for locks.
00:18:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
00:18:32
Jarrod Dyke
but sad and So sadly, no. um But points per game-wise, Bailly came through again big for the Chiefs and and and Super Rugby Fantasy, so
00:18:43
Grumpy Old Prop
yep
00:18:48
Jarrod Dyke
um Yeah, two only two guys or three guys remain that get 10 plus points. One of them is Tom Hooper, the one is Valle. And the third one is Nick Frost, the other lock for Brumby. And really, i think the matchup favors Valle, so you're to pick him, and then it's just pick your favorite Brumby's player, honestly, of the two.
00:19:04
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:19:05
Jarrod Dyke
that's just That's just where my head's at. I have Hooper right now, and I'm going be able to make any other trades otherwise, so I'm just going to ride that.
00:19:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. um'm I'm going to be riding that myself. I have him in um and two Lima. So and he's at eight.
00:19:20
Grumpy Old Prop
So I'm going to be probably keeping that even though it's, you know, not the greatest.
00:19:20
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:19:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Yeah, that's still it's still a solid play, usually.
00:19:26
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:29
Jarrod Dyke
Still a solid play. Not a bad idea.
00:19:37
Jarrod Dyke
So for, yeah back row, again, lots of choices here. Are you spreading the 8 million on Satutu?
00:19:44
Grumpy Old Prop
No, I'm not because.
00:19:47
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, neither am I. No, just way too much, and he's probably not going to be involved in the next round.
00:19:52
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. And, you know, if i'm going to spend eight million, I'm going to give it to Wallace the TT because he's the runner for the Chiefs.
00:20:00
Jarrod Dyke
I... Yeah, but he's on the bench right now. He's to on the bench this week, so...
00:20:03
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh, is he? Oh, there he is. Yeah, okay. i'm been sure I just saw him being in the game. I like ah didn't register that it was a B, not an S. So either way, I'm still not.
00:20:11
Jarrod Dyke
Yep, no, but he is in. But... So...
00:20:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, then I'm not spending that money.
00:20:16
Jarrod Dyke
if you're If you're planning for maybe the next round... And you have that luxury.
00:20:20
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:20:21
Jarrod Dyke
and you can yeah you had And you want to put the $8 million into CTT. Not a terrible idea by any means whatsoever.
00:20:26
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, not not the worst thing.
00:20:29
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I've had Leo Willey for a little while.
00:20:31
Grumpy Old Prop
Me too.
00:20:32
Jarrod Dyke
The one guy that I'm disappointed in terms of price and and production right is Lockheye. I don't want to get away from him because I know his potential. But at the same time, I'm like, who else do I go with?
00:20:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:20:44
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:20:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Well,
00:20:46
Jarrod Dyke
I don't want two reds and I have McWright and I like McWright just a little bit better than Wilson enough don't like either of them.
00:20:48
Grumpy Old Prop
about what about Dewey?
00:20:53
Jarrod Dyke
And yeah, and that would be the thing. Like I could go little, I honestly was never really sure if Dewey was going to not just pull one of his usual bullshit moves and bite me.
00:21:03
Grumpy Old Prop
he said he's only had he's only had two matches under
00:21:05
Jarrod Dyke
So I've stayed away from him.
00:21:08
Grumpy Old Prop
under ten points and one was
00:21:11
Grumpy Old Prop
at the Yeah, one one at the Blues and one at Western Force.
00:21:11
Jarrod Dyke
Right, and now and I will not pick him because I want to keep doing that shit.
00:21:14
Jarrod Dyke
Just, you know, might be at my detriment.
00:21:16
Grumpy Old Prop
So like two tough road games.
00:21:19
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah. And that was a gross game out there.
00:21:20
Grumpy Old Prop
Everything else. Yeah.
00:21:24
Grumpy Old Prop
And that one, he only missed.
00:21:25
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:21:25
Grumpy Old Prop
but He got nine and a half. He only missed by a half point.
00:21:26
Jarrod Dyke
So um i I may go...
00:21:27
Grumpy Old Prop
So like, yeah.
00:21:27
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:21:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, had Gleason. I may stick with Australia and go with Bobby V. And then just ride the other three guys I got.
00:21:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:21:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Sit Carlo Tisano this week.
00:21:38
Jarrod Dyke
So personally, but yeah, you're...
00:21:43
Jarrod Dyke
um I moved him out last week. I was like, womp, womp. And I actually moved Artie too. i was like, sadly, I don't think Artie's getting it.
00:21:48
Grumpy Old Prop
oh i I still played Artie because I'm like, I have to because he's Artie.
00:21:57
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, but still. um Halfback's kind of picking itself, although you could probably argue for the top three as much as I like Noah Hotham.
00:22:07
Jarrod Dyke
Um...
Super Rugby Halfbacks Focus
00:22:08
Jarrod Dyke
Roygaard, McDermott, Ratama all could have cases.
00:22:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:22:12
Jarrod Dyke
um I think the two, the one and the three are probably the strongest ones right now
00:22:15
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, I have Roygaard and Ratsama as my my two scrum halves.
00:22:16
Jarrod Dyke
but yeah
00:22:18
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm just not going to make a trade there.
00:22:19
Jarrod Dyke
yeah
00:22:21
Grumpy Old Prop
just not going to touch it.
00:22:22
Jarrod Dyke
because yeah.
00:22:22
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm going leave it. Right. Yeah.
00:22:22
Jarrod Dyke
Because Roygaard's Roygaard and Ratama's playing at home.
00:22:27
Jarrod Dyke
So that's the sad news for McDermott as much as I like the guy. So I think that's where it's at. It's those the two Kiwi guys are one and two and then McDermott's three and then Everyone else is kind of playing plan for for fourth there.
00:22:38
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:22:44
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:22:48
Jarrod Dyke
I don't know if there's a move that you can convince someone to make away from DMACC.
00:22:54
Grumpy Old Prop
Well, that's the other have Barrett as my 10, and I just haven't been able to switch it back to DMACC, but I think I will this week.
00:23:02
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, but I have... made that determination. I was like, i need to get D-Mac back in now. And I've had been sitting there with Barrett wasting away in my lap, although he's not been bad, but he's just not been amazing.
00:23:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Right.
00:23:14
Jarrod Dyke
It's certainly some weeks.
00:23:15
Grumpy Old Prop
Well, I mean, he had more points than DMACC last week. So, um but that was last week.
00:23:25
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, but quality opposition and yeah, so forth.
00:23:28
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:23:30
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm just saying it was helpful. Like the fact that I didn't make that trade last week that I kept Bowdoin paid paid off for me one week for one week.
00:23:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:23:39
Jarrod Dyke
yeah yeah for one week one week
00:23:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Yay.
00:23:47
Grumpy Old Prop
And my other fly half is Tom Lina, who's been pretty excellent, who got me points because he just they decided to inexplicably kick a goal um against the Hurricanes.
00:23:52
Jarrod Dyke
yeah might have to trade that one out if I can help it I know what the fuck what the actual fuck guys um
00:23:59
Grumpy Old Prop
So I was like, all right, that actually helped me out. But damn. Yeah.
00:24:06
Jarrod Dyke
Is Tupaya, I don't know the answer this. Is Tupaya hurt?
00:24:10
Grumpy Old Prop
Yes, he got hurt in that.
00:24:12
Jarrod Dyke
Or are they just keeping him?
00:24:13
Grumpy Old Prop
I believe, yeah, he got hurt in the in the game um last week.
00:24:18
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, he did. Okay, so they're being cautious with him.
00:24:21
Grumpy Old Prop
Or he might be out.
00:24:23
Grumpy Old Prop
he they They stretched him off. I think he got a bad knock.
00:24:23
Jarrod Dyke
Still.
00:24:27
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, Jesus.
00:24:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:24:29
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, well, that's not good. Might have to eliminate that.
00:24:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:24:32
Jarrod Dyke
um Folks that still have Rico Ioani in your lineup, I need you to just come back to Earth a little bit and realize that he's been bad this year.
00:24:39
Grumpy Old Prop
It me. you're You're talking about me.
00:24:43
Grumpy Old Prop
I have him. I just haven't been able to trade him out.
00:24:43
Jarrod Dyke
Do you have him?
00:24:46
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, condolences.
00:24:47
Grumpy Old Prop
ah Yeah, I know. um I just haven't been able to train him out. So, like, I think I'm probably... I mean, I have Proctor as my other center, too. So... And then Quintupaya. So I've been, you know... Rico has not been starting for me.
00:25:01
Grumpy Old Prop
um Although, did he this past week?
00:25:03
Jarrod Dyke
hope not
00:25:05
Grumpy Old Prop
did i Did I do something silly? I may have actually done something silly and forgot. Yes, I forgot to trade him out for Quinn Tupaya, but it worked because Ioannis got 26.5 instead of 4.5 for Quinn.
00:25:14
Jarrod Dyke
oops well there you go
00:25:16
Grumpy Old Prop
So, um yay. Like, the happy fuck up. I'll take it.
Center Options and Selection Criteria
00:25:24
Jarrod Dyke
happy mistake yeah yeah definitely definitely um
00:25:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:25:30
Jarrod Dyke
yeah And then i like Ikitao personally. Otherwise, if you can get a Proctor and Ikki or something similar to that, then you're you're in business.
00:25:40
Grumpy Old Prop
I still like Fluke as an option too.
00:25:44
Jarrod Dyke
I know. I just wish he had played more this year.
00:25:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:25:48
Jarrod Dyke
Would have been extremely helpful for a lot of reasons.
00:25:48
Grumpy Old Prop
But I like his matchup
00:25:52
Grumpy Old Prop
against Enor.
00:25:53
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm.
00:25:54
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:25:54
Grumpy Old Prop
I think he's got the athleticism over the centers there. um So we'll see.
00:26:01
Jarrod Dyke
We'll see. um and I mean, we're talking about ah guy that's like otherworldly some days and just completely spits at one some week, but 8 million on Bill Jordan. Yes or no?
00:26:17
Grumpy Old Prop
No.
00:26:20
Grumpy Old Prop
um ah there's There's other... like i would i would honestly... um and He's in my lineup already. and well He's in my team already. um The other guy for...
00:26:34
Grumpy Old Prop
for the The other guy.
00:26:35
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah, that guy.
00:26:38
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm not happy that he's there, but he's there.
00:26:39
Jarrod Dyke
He's
00:26:42
Jarrod Dyke
there.
00:26:45
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:26:45
Grumpy Old Prop
And don't again, don't be fooled by Ruben Love and his points per game and his overall points because he has the T.
00:26:51
Jarrod Dyke
Yes.
00:26:52
Grumpy Old Prop
Unless you're going to give him the T, which I wouldn't.
00:26:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, those are when he has the tea.
00:26:55
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:26:57
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, while they're laying Brett Cameron's leg, you know heal up a little bit.
00:26:59
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:27:00
Jarrod Dyke
he Listen, Ruben Love played brilliantly last week. Like, don't don't get it wrong.
00:27:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:27:04
Jarrod Dyke
Like, think he missed one off the tee maybe, and he's been better. so I think whatever it is about Brett Cameron coming back, probably taking some pressure off him, um has made Ruben Love play a lot better.
00:27:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:27:16
Jarrod Dyke
And thusly, he has been able to execute off the tee a little bit better. So that's good. Good for the Hurricanes. Not really awesome for you line up because you don't want to have to designate a kicker for,
00:27:26
Jarrod Dyke
for a guy in the back three unless you really want to in which case you know you'll to live with the consequences otherwise um if you have dmack and you want to live with that that's okay you could do worse
00:27:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:27:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. Because DMACC will get points in other ways.
00:27:41
Jarrod Dyke
yep agreed um i think most people have leroy cotter in their team at this point just because of his price but he's worth he's well worth it at this point too
00:27:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:27:49
Grumpy Old Prop
He is. Because he's a he's been a focus. like It's not like he you know they have all these guys, but he's been ah they've been um getting him the ball to get him the ball because fuck, he puts up points and D.
00:28:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Swartz tries for fun.
00:28:03
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:28:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Not that Sean Stevenson doesn't, but the production is certainly there from from Leroy Carter.
00:28:14
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, well, I mean, and I like Stevenson.
00:28:15
Grumpy Old Prop
God damn it, Leroy.
00:28:17
Jarrod Dyke
I like, goddammit, Leroy. Wait, did he go? um Yeah, for Stevenson and Narwa, they've been productive.
00:28:21
Grumpy Old Prop
Double dots.
00:28:26
Jarrod Dyke
But yeah, I mean, if you're talking about dollars to donuts here, it's it's Carter. um Speaking dollars, that's yum. um
00:28:37
Jarrod Dyke
Tool at $7 million or right for $8? Is right worth the extra million for the extra two points per game?
00:28:46
Grumpy Old Prop
I think yes, since I have right in my squad and I don't have tool in my squad.
00:28:54
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:28:55
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, and instead I have that other guy that we talked about. Um, so for me, yes, um I'm a yes on that.
00:28:59
Jarrod Dyke
I would guess.
00:29:03
Grumpy Old Prop
And, uh,
00:29:03
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:29:04
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:29:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Let me make sure I have
Fullbacks vs. Wings: Game Impact
00:29:08
Grumpy Old Prop
it right. But yeah, I will go with the fullback over the wing. um the the The production of fullback.
00:29:14
Jarrod Dyke
and yeah
00:29:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Because again, every time they kick, you know, right being back there and and running it up is is points. So like it's, he'll get more opportunities, I think.
00:29:29
Jarrod Dyke
Well, the back three is something that we tend to dump our money into when it comes to these salary cap games, um excluding Leroy Carter.
00:29:34
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:29:38
Jarrod Dyke
um There's a few guys that are $5 million or under. um Finning Anofo from the Hurricanes, Mirrorhead, Lamb, Lockie Anderson, or Fiocchi from Crusaders.
00:29:45
Grumpy Old Prop
no
00:29:50
Jarrod Dyke
If you had to pick one of those guys because you're trying to save a few bucks, maybe on that bench wing, that bench outside back,
00:30:02
Grumpy Old Prop
oh I don't like any of those options, but I'd probably go with Fihaki.
00:30:09
Grumpy Old Prop
i don't, again, not liking it. This is like kind of gun to my head. Okay, I have to pick one of them.
00:30:09
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
Budget-friendly Backup Player Strategies
00:30:16
Grumpy Old Prop
It's Che because I think also because I think he'll be playing next week. So you just kind of hold on to him.
00:30:22
Jarrod Dyke
That's fair. That's fair. Yeah, I mean, you could make a case like Mirrorhead somehow found points this year. I have no idea how, but he has because in the past he's been...
00:30:30
Grumpy Old Prop
He's been scoring shitty tries against shitty teams when he when he does. so
00:30:34
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, I... i Yeah, no, I agree.
00:30:35
Grumpy Old Prop
And AJ Lamb is the the the what is the reverse.
00:30:36
Jarrod Dyke
I've seen it.
00:30:39
Grumpy Old Prop
It's the curse. It's the the other way around. he's He's an outside back playing 12.
00:30:47
Jarrod Dyke
Right. Which is not awesome. so For the most part, that's usually not awesome.
00:30:51
Grumpy Old Prop
No. um I just don't see him getting in the space, especially not with the return of Talaya and Clark.
00:31:01
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm. Yeah.
00:31:02
Grumpy Old Prop
It's just
00:31:03
Jarrod Dyke
don't know. um Anderson's has been boosted, obviously, by a 30-point game against Juve. They died down a few walk-ins.
00:31:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Just, just no, just, I'd honestly rather go, um yeah, I'd rather go Fahif, yeah, Penianganufo,
00:31:14
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Nope. Don't be silly, folks.
00:31:20
Grumpy Old Prop
myself.
00:31:20
Jarrod Dyke
yep yeah agreed okay so that's what we that's our thoughts we will put some so some semblance of sheet out for these two for these two things this week um but you're certainly welcome to reach out with us for questions when we do or beforehand um but we appreciate you guys that listen to us and support us and um you know we we really really do um
00:31:34
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:31:46
Jarrod Dyke
Have a lot love for you guys. that Just give us your time every week. But enjoy the rugby this weekend, and we'll catch you guys next week, hopefully. And enjoy.
00:31:53

Jarrod Dyke
