00:00:29
Jarrod Dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Ike. There's no Ben here. We're doing a live Fancy Rugby Draft, but as you could probably guess, we have the one and only, the man, the myth, the legend, George here.
00:00:40
Jarrod Dyke
The Fancy Rugby Geek is here, and look out.
00:00:41
George
Here we go. Here we go once again, Jared.
00:00:44
George
Always a pleasure. Always a pleasure. Shame Ben can't be with us, but
Draft Strategies and Preparations
00:00:48
Jarrod Dyke
No. No. That's how we have to organize, unfortunately.
00:00:53
George
Let's do this anyways.
00:00:55
George
how um How well prepared do you feel for this?
00:01:02
Jarrod Dyke
So this is either going to be brilliant or it's going to be terrible. I don't know which one.
00:01:05
George
It's brilliant. Let's just go off vibes and see how how
00:01:06
Jarrod Dyke
is good Yeah.
Analyzing League Members and Picks
00:01:09
George
But I think, who so who have we got first up?
00:01:12
George
Who have we got our league?
00:01:12
Jarrod Dyke
um I think that was that was Luke that just went right there.
00:01:17
George
Right. So aggressive prop is Luke.
00:01:18
Jarrod Dyke
And then this is... Hold on, I actually wrote down who was who, so I could so i could always make sure that i knew. um JWT, oh, that's Matt T.
00:01:31
Jarrod Dyke
That's Matt T. Mecca is Mark. I think everyone else, Lightweaver's.
00:01:36
George
Okay. And we got DMACC first up. DMACC is off.
00:01:41
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's, yeah. yeah
00:01:43
George
So then, yippee try it, Stu.
00:01:44
Jarrod Dyke
Our picks are in a precarious spot, you and I. ah I'm last in this round and and you're right by and then you're you're next.
00:01:52
George
Yeah, I mean, you can snipe me and I can snipe you.
00:01:52
Jarrod Dyke
Or second last.
00:01:56
George
We're both we we're both in that position.
00:01:58
Jarrod Dyke
am I actually don't mind being seven or eight because you
Impact of Injury Updates on Draft Decisions
00:02:02
Jarrod Dyke
get two pretty good players really quickly.
00:02:02
George
Nah, neither Neither do I. Yeah.
00:02:05
Jarrod Dyke
And I know it means you're waiting for a while, but that's that.
00:02:09
George
in an eight-man team it's not In an eight-man league, it's not so bad. There goes Roygaard second.
00:02:15
Jarrod Dyke
um light weaver so guessing that is is that rob must be no light weaver is the one that's right before me i'm guessing that's rob that's we're gonna go with semi-educated yes on that one i was doing some in injury searches here
00:02:24
George
Lightweavers, guess that's Rob, yeah.
00:02:40
Jarrod Dyke
um So i was looking at Asafa Amua. He looks like he he's returning soon. He's not.
00:02:46
George
Yep, he's not so bad.
00:02:48
Jarrod Dyke
So those, not that it was a big deal, but Brad Shields seems like he's busted a finger. So, well, not that he was going to running to the, no.
00:02:57
George
nay So there goes Jordan.
00:03:03
George
Yeah, the ones I noted was Ala Toa is out for a bit. um Tate Madermott's out for a bit as well. He might be quite a popular pick.
00:03:14
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. and copy that
00:03:18
George
Rivers Rayhana, interesting. So
Insights into Player Choices and Draft Progression
00:03:22
George
he's the Crusader's first choice, fly half. Fly half once again is very weak depth.
00:03:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Shocker over there, right? um Yeah. Stu is not very happy about what everyone just happened.
00:03:41
George
So Paul is paul is Lightweavers.
00:03:44
Jarrod Dyke
Paul is Lightweaver. Okay. That explains a lot. Alright, done. Perfect. Alright, what else we got here?
00:03:55
Jarrod Dyke
So, don't come up with the Soily. Yeah.
00:04:00
George
you can't go wrong with that, special feesa especially if he does a bit of fallback as well.
00:04:05
George
Although it looks like outside center is where he's going to be.
00:04:15
Jarrod Dyke
Alright, that's me. oh
00:04:21
Jarrod Dyke
I don't know if I'm... There's a chance I'd get back to him, but I'm taking them right now.
00:04:28
George
Yeah, I am going to start.
00:04:34
Jarrod Dyke
I imagine he's on some sort of All Black's Rest, though, at some point.
00:04:39
George
going to take this try machine to start with, Carlo.
00:04:43
Jarrod Dyke
That's... Yeah, Tazano. Oh, man. Let's see if he can double that again.
00:04:49
George
Yeah, it's going to surely going to be a bit of regression. And then i'm going to take this one of my favorite players in Super Rugby. Tava Tava Narway.
00:04:58
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he's a solid. And he he started to figure it out by the end of the campaign
Effects of All Blacks' Rest on Draft Strategy
00:05:04
Jarrod Dyke
So that's that's the good news for a lot of people. Okay, we talked about this position being short, and I'm taking of the better ones. know he's just returning, but I can always find cover for otherwise.
00:05:17
George
Carter Gordon, yeah, good shout.
00:05:21
Jarrod Dyke
i mean, Ben and I will do this when we talk about Super Rugby, but man, how screwed did Tom Lina get on that deal?
00:05:31
Jarrod Dyke
couldn't send you couldn't send Gordon anywhere else? and know you only have three franchises, but damn.
00:05:37
George
Yeah, he's had a shocker. Yeah. Yeah, it's been a few. I was checking um just a few choppy and changing around in um in the Australian teams.
00:05:48
George
A few different, a few signings that I totally missed.
00:05:52
George
um I didn't realize George Bridge was back in Super Rugby.
00:05:55
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, he's in he's out the force.
00:05:58
Jarrod Dyke
My mistake, they afford there have four franchises that I forgot that the Force existed.
00:05:58
George
He's over at the force.
00:06:04
George
Matt Phillips back super rugby as well.
00:06:08
Jarrod Dyke
see how that goes. He was definitely...
00:06:12
Jarrod Dyke
Shall we say...
00:06:12
George
Harry Potter, Harry Potter, at the Waratahs. I completely missed that as well.
00:06:16
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he moved from Force to War Taz. I knew that. Let's see.
00:06:24
George
I think he's going to rested.
00:06:24
Jarrod Dyke
he's ah He's missing the first few weeks, yes.
00:06:28
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yeah, I was reading that earlier. that's um That's on required all-blacks for us. I think Tui Polo 2 is also in that. Tui Polo 2 is in that situation as well.
00:06:42
Jarrod Dyke
Not that anybody's going
Strategies for Player Selection and Team Needs
00:06:43
Jarrod Dyke
to be running to pick that one. Alright, is there reason that we're all just avoiding Tangy Tao? I know there's other names that people are probably more
00:06:53
George
I think, yeah, I mean, there's quite a lot of depth in outside back compared to the other positions. So I think that's why Tanki Tao's not been touched yet. I'm expecting a big run of OBs in a moment.
00:07:09
George
Jorgensen, here we go.
00:07:10
Jarrod Dyke
I'm definitely... I love... Damn it. I like that one. I knew he wasn't probably getting back to me, but damn, I like that one.
00:07:17
Jarrod Dyke
like that one a lot. Fangenuku listed as a midfielder for the Crusaders. Interesting.
00:07:21
George
I know, that is interesting.
00:07:26
Jarrod Dyke
I mean, I know he was deployed there a ton by... When he was in France, but...
00:07:34
George
Yeah, I guess he'll just bounce around when he will be to a bit on the wing.
00:07:34
Jarrod Dyke
I guess... not Yeah, I guess it yeahd I'd prefer him in midfield over Ioani, quite frankly.
00:07:44
George
What, for the All Blacks?
00:07:45
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, just in general.
00:07:46
George
Yeah, no, agree. There goes Tangy Tab.
00:07:48
Jarrod Dyke
slightly slightly Slightly bigger frame, you know? Okay. Yeah, Stu took him. There's that. Back to Mark.
00:07:59
George
God, it's a long wait, isn't it? It's a long wait when you're seven and eight.
00:08:01
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes, it is. And then you you bang, bang, and then you got to wait for for it again. can be quite quite annoying.
00:08:14
Jarrod Dyke
Leroy Carter, yep, solid pick.
00:08:15
George
Leroy. Leroy is gone.
00:08:17
Jarrod Dyke
God damn it, Leroy.
00:08:19
George
Damn you, Leroy. Billy Proctor.
00:08:22
Jarrod Dyke
Billy Pratt there. Yeah, we'll see who plays next next to Jordy this year. It'll be him or Sullivan, likely.
00:08:31
George
There he goes, there's Fanganuki.
00:08:33
Jarrod Dyke
There goes that. Midfield's a hard one to find a decent scorer at, so.
00:08:39
Jarrod Dyke
You know you got a good one. Don't pit don't don't skip.
00:08:42
George
and Exactly. Well, that's where I went for Tava Tavanawe straight away.
00:08:46
George
At least I got one strong mid.
Reactions to Player Transfers and Missed Picks
00:08:49
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he's and hes he's very good. bit like a tank. All right, we're back to back to the beginning here.
00:09:02
Jarrod Dyke
Come Luke, you don't know your picks? Kidding. Kidding, kidding, kidding. I did see, and I don't know if he's on here yet.
00:09:14
Jarrod Dyke
He's not. So we'll we'll see him added soon, I'm guessing. Vakatawa's back in to Super Ripping.
00:09:19
George
Yeah. Where's he gone? foot Is it the Force? No. Moana.
00:09:22
Jarrod Dyke
No, he's with the Drua. He's with the Drua.
00:09:26
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. So that's solid right there. I mean... that That's not a team you can sleep on.
00:09:34
Jarrod Dyke
as long as They have to figure out how to try to win on their travels. That is their biggest problem, usually.
00:09:39
George
Every year, though, Drew, there's just someone that comes out of the absolutely nowhere and smashes up
00:09:50
Jarrod Dyke
Many a good player on that one. Okay. We have Corey Toole, another one of my favorites.
00:09:55
Jarrod Dyke
Brought to my team. Tovukie Niepkins is back and healthy. That's nice. Keen to hollow. Yeah, I was just reading about his recovery. He's expected to be ready to go for their first round.
00:10:02
George
The OBs are flying now.
00:10:05
George
Might need to take one on my next one then.
00:10:08
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yep. And for those that are keeping score at home, I believe Hurricanes are week one bye. So
00:10:15
George
That's right. That's right.
00:10:17
Jarrod Dyke
just so everyone is aware.
00:10:21
George
Tamifalau. Oh, they are all going off now.
00:10:24
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, yeah. And he just moved, too. He's with the Blues now?
00:10:32
Jarrod Dyke
Wow. Because they need help.
00:10:35
George
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they're really struggling, aren't they?
00:10:37
Jarrod Dyke
Ugh. Come on. oh come on, man. Are you kidding me? All right, we got... right, Duncan's up. Paul, and then it'll be me. Okay.
00:10:52
Jarrod Dyke
right, there's...
00:11:06
George
I might have to double up for my OBs my next one.
00:11:09
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:11:10
Jarrod Dyke
I think the good one, think the remaining good ones are going to be few and far between.
00:11:25
Jarrod Dyke
last season in
Draft Challenges and Injury Impact
00:11:26
Jarrod Dyke
Super Rugby. Yeah.
00:11:28
George
Yeah. He's always reliable for his points.
00:11:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. you Even when he's a total knucklehead.
00:11:34
George
Yeah. Yeah, he's just one of those, even if he plays badly, just he will get those carries in to get you some points.
00:11:41
George
So from a fantasy perspective, he's always decent.
00:11:44
George
Oh, come on, Paul.
00:11:46
Jarrod Dyke
Paul, you know it. Yeah, Nareki's gone. He was a favorite for a while until he got hurt.
00:11:51
George
Yeah, he's he's a bit unreliable with his injuries, isn't he? Made of glass a bit.
00:11:59
Jarrod Dyke
Not great for a player.
00:12:02
Jarrod Dyke
SuperHP, we do their site? Yeah, they did. Damn.
00:12:06
George
or the actual super rugby site.
00:12:07
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Looks at at least.
00:12:12
Jarrod Dyke
Maybe I'm crazy.
00:12:12
George
Paul is taking is is taking his full full allocation here.
00:12:18
Jarrod Dyke
We're used to this when we have an auto drafter. Other than that, no.
00:12:21
George
Yeah, come on, mate.
00:12:24
Jarrod Dyke
No, my mistake. That was the wrong side I was looking at. Super Rookie's the same.
00:12:27
George
He's got Harry Potter.
00:12:30
George
Right, that's annoying.
00:12:30
Jarrod Dyke
Wheel. If I'm picking and choosing between the bigger guys left. I'm taking the guy that plays on the team I support.
00:12:37
Jarrod Dyke
So this made that nice and easy.
00:12:40
Jarrod Dyke
Thank you very much.
00:12:41
George
they They have flown off.
00:12:55
George
to take. Caleb Clark didn't score a single try last season. Nine games, zero tries.
00:12:58
Jarrod Dyke
as There's no way that happens again. There's no way that happens again.
00:13:04
Jarrod Dyke
He's too good.
00:13:06
George
I'm take my Fijian boy, Logan and Misi.
00:13:09
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that was
00:13:12
George
And then should probably get a fly half.
00:13:19
George
Who is the best option left?
00:13:24
George
Ed Medall Donaldson.
00:13:26
Jarrod Dyke
a good one. Oh, but better the better player the butter team is probably the Taz.
00:13:34
George
ah Donaldson's at the force.
00:13:37
Jarrod Dyke
Right. So, and and edmund oh Edmund's at the Brummies now, isn't he?
00:13:40
George
Ed Med to Brumbies now. Yeah.
00:13:41
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, even better. Even better.
00:13:43
George
Yeah, it's probably him, isn't it? My only thing about Donaldson is he occasionally slips back at fullback and so he can get get some carries.
00:13:51
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he'll eat some eaters. Yeah, you're not wrong.
00:13:53
George
But, you know, last there you go. I've got starting fly half. Can't complain.
00:13:57
Jarrod Dyke
You're not wrong about that. man. Okay.
00:14:03
Jarrod Dyke
I should go for another OB, but... Yeah. Hard to beat the Crusaders front row.
00:14:13
George
So the front rows I like. the Let's have look. Obviously, Canes, Crusaders, Reds, Matt Faister always gets a bit.
00:14:21
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yes. Yes. That's a good one. The Moana front row was surprisingly useful last year.
00:14:29
Jarrod Dyke
i will say that. I will say that.
00:14:33
George
tars Tars less so now they've got no Gus Bell there. Did you see that try he scored, by the way, for Ulster?
00:14:38
Jarrod Dyke
No, I haven't, no.
00:14:41
George
Genuine, like a winger. Sidestep.
00:14:44
Jarrod Dyke
There's a lot.
00:14:46
George
and he looked It wasn't like a Tygues furlong kind of sidestep. It was a genuinely athletic sidestep.
00:14:50
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, RIP. Oh, man.
00:14:54
George
Mind-blowing. The kind of move that would have probably got about 100 points on the rugby mag back in the day.
00:15:03
George
RIP, Ed, what a legend.
00:15:09
Jarrod Dyke
Now they've properly positioned Charlie Cale. He's not going be as good. Watch. me
00:15:13
George
Yeah, i agree. I agree. He was a cheat coder at second row, but now he's least forward, not so much.
00:15:20
George
He's still decent, don't get me wrong, but...
00:15:23
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, but if that's your leading loose forward, you might have a problem.
00:15:29
Jarrod Dyke
That's my let's that my thoughts.
00:15:33
Jarrod Dyke
Ooh, I don't know if I'm going to get to him.
00:15:38
George
Brumby's front row's gone.
00:15:39
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, usually quality, so especially with the stable hookers, they usually can roll out there. It doesn't matter. usually Usually, doesn't matter which one. They're usually pretty solid.
00:15:56
Jarrod Dyke
Let me get it. Hang on, Stu.
Draft Dynamics and Player Value Assessment
00:16:04
George
everything else Right, Maka Springer. Maka Springer had some massive games last season.
00:16:10
George
It was kind of boom or bust, wasn't it?
00:16:11
Jarrod Dyke
When he played, yeah, when he played, he was you and he was yeah it was usually rotated against Moana, for example.
00:16:19
Jarrod Dyke
Force. Force away, or Force with Crusaders.
00:16:24
Jarrod Dyke
I believe that was one of the games he better.
00:16:28
Jarrod Dyke
Maybe I'm crazy.
00:16:29
George
Didn't he get like, he might have even got four in one game. he' got He's got eight tries in seven matches.
00:16:32
Jarrod Dyke
He did. Yeah, he got four in one game. It was pretty absurd. picked up a couple more and a couple other games, but
00:16:42
George
Chiefs front row, Takeyahu. Takeyahu.
00:16:53
Jarrod Dyke
My son's trying to bust in on me.
00:16:55
George
He's going to help you if you're picked.
00:16:58
Jarrod Dyke
I mean, he can't do any worse than what I've been doing lately, so there's no way it could be worse.
00:17:06
George
Leo Willey. Leo Willey, had him most of my season and he was super reliable.
00:17:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I remember that. i was I was shocked that he actually finally produced, but when he did, he did well. i was I was always like kind of the position for the Corsairs that made me raise my eyebrow, like, where are there loose forwards?
00:17:23
Jarrod Dyke
And then he stepped forward and played a big role.
00:17:25
George
Yeah, definitely. And Lau Mapei is back in Super Rugby as well. Probably not the 4C he probably once was.
00:17:34
George
He'll have his moment.
00:17:34
Jarrod Dyke
No, but I'm sure he'll be quality and won't be won't be so bad. Yeah, it's hard to say. Sorry, hard to say both elusive and as strong as he was for too, too long, especially since he's been you'd been gone for quite a while now.
00:17:44
George
yeah Yeah, exactly.
00:17:49
George
He has. was at Stad, wasn't he? Yeah, Stad Frosse.
00:17:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. I think he was in Japan for a hot minute, too.
00:18:00
Jarrod Dyke
There we go. There's a pick.
00:18:01
George
Who else have we got?
00:18:06
Jarrod Dyke
That's good if he's not, if if he's kicking.
00:18:09
George
Willy Havili, yep.
00:18:10
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. If you're not kicked, if Pellegrini's in there playing 10, even if Avili's playing 50, I think Pellegrini usually kicks. Okay.
00:18:25
Jarrod Dyke
All right. Here we go. Now we're getting there.
00:18:30
Jarrod Dyke
Daigunou, that's, yeah.
00:18:35
Jarrod Dyke
That'll be interesting.
00:18:44
Jarrod Dyke
Is this something that Mark knows that we don't? I'm a cloud guy. I'll lose my mind here.
00:18:50
George
Yeah, he's he's gone quite early on him.
00:18:57
George
Peter Aki, forgot he was in. Another interesting signing.
00:19:03
George
Okay, Kale's gone.
00:19:07
Jarrod Dyke
Interesting. Okay.
00:19:12
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, that's right. He played against the Lions this last summer. He did well.
00:19:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I believe so.
00:19:26
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, signed a... put pen to paper last... this past July.
00:19:26
George
There goes Caleb Clark.
00:19:33
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, that's interesting. i don't hate it. That's good research right there. Okay, here we go. There goes Clark, Kale, Miracle.
00:19:54
George
So two, two, right.
00:19:55
Jarrod Dyke
There goes that.
00:19:56
George
The Lucy's again now.
00:19:58
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. i mean You always need one good one and then you can kind of just backfill otherwise.
00:20:02
George
Yeah, exactly. So I'm going to, uh, Tizano be starting most weeks for me and i'll probably just stream between couple of others.
00:20:11
Jarrod Dyke
ye Yep, yep. Totally agree. Totally agree. I
00:20:29
Jarrod Dyke
think I know where I'm going next.
00:20:36
Jarrod Dyke
Let's move, Paul. We can do it. I believe in you
00:20:44
Jarrod Dyke
There we go. Okay. Well, I'm going to go for it. Maybe actually plays more than a few games.
00:20:52
George
Springer good stuff, okay
00:21:06
George
Right, let's pull the trigger on a front row then Takiyo Takiyo and then
00:21:07
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. There you go. Got to have him.
00:21:18
George
I'm going to go for the, because there is such little depth at Scrum Half. I'm just going to take Ratamann now.
00:21:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yes. That's a good one. That is a solid one. Alright. I like...
00:21:36
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Always want me some sort of a GNOB here.
00:21:42
Jarrod Dyke
Someone from the Jua. Usually a solid play. Especially if it's one of the wingers.
00:21:48
George
Momo, good choice. Good choice.
00:21:54
Jarrod Dyke
Well, that least gives me three OPs now. I got to work on the rest of the damn thing, but...
00:22:01
Jarrod Dyke
I think I i think i know what I'm picking up with my next picks.
00:22:06
Jarrod Dyke
I know I'm addressing with my next picks. It's just a matter of whether or not I like what happens.
00:22:17
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, all right.
00:22:22
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, like, you know, I wonder if without Potter, if he'll see more of the ball, more action.
00:22:31
Jarrod Dyke
there Yeah, that would be...
00:22:34
George
Yeah, it's a good shout, actually.
00:22:35
Jarrod Dyke
had some good games, not amazing games, but had some good games. Wasn't consistent, but maybe with without Potter in there to jam him up.
00:22:42
George
You're right, like that could yeah that could definitely change things.
00:22:46
Jarrod Dyke
So... Just ideas. Yeah.
00:22:52
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, there goes the Reds front row. Yeah, that's going start to be a popular thing.
00:23:00
George
Already midfield is thin.
00:23:03
Jarrod Dyke
It's thin. Yeah, so this is paper thin. i have other problems I need to address, but man, I need to go i need to go find myself some guys that are going to play week one because I have someone without it.
00:23:14
George
McCrite. Oh, have you got a few you've already got quite few gains.
00:23:16
Jarrod Dyke
i got... Well, I have two right now, so not too bad, but...
00:23:21
Jarrod Dyke
So I'll need to find a fill-in back three OB, b and then I'll need to find another
League Dynamics and Draft Position Strategies
00:23:27
Jarrod Dyke
midfielder. But okay, otherwise right now. That's the definitely the downfall of focusing on one team.
00:23:32
Jarrod Dyke
Granted, you're going to probably have a lot of really good scores if it's a good team, but you hit that bye week hell, and you're going to like, fuck, and you have to basically throw the game away, or you're going to have really put guys on the waivers that you probably don't want to put on the waivers.
00:23:33
George
Yeah, you've got to mix it up.
00:23:46
George
Yep. There's one week where I think there might be...
00:23:52
George
I think there's one week think there's one week where there are loads...
00:23:56
Jarrod Dyke
I got locked.
00:24:00
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, so we have... It's probably some time in the middle of the year, huh? Let's check.
00:24:08
George
I'll tell you when it is because I posted it on Fancy Rugby Geek today.
00:24:12
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, did you? Okay, yeah.
00:24:14
Jarrod Dyke
Round eight, maybe?
00:24:18
George
round eight. Brumbies, Blues, Highlanders, Hurricanes and Moana.
00:24:25
Jarrod Dyke
Got five teams. Yuck. Yuck.
00:24:25
George
Five teams on a bye.
00:24:31
Jarrod Dyke
I'm trying to keep this season somewhat truncated, but damn, that doesn't help the likes of us at all.
00:24:32
George
That's a stinker. Yeah.
00:24:41
George
So TT, good pickup.
00:24:43
Jarrod Dyke
That's a good one. I had him in the back of my head, but I need to address other things first.
00:24:51
Jarrod Dyke
There's still some solid loose forwards out there, though, I will say that.
00:24:53
George
There it is. There it is.
00:24:56
Jarrod Dyke
Dewey. ill trans Tupo's Tale from Moana.
00:25:06
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's a good one. Bobby V's still out there.
00:25:11
Jarrod Dyke
oh love me some Peter. actually like Peter Lakai better than Karefi. So, i don't know why he's...
00:25:15
George
Yeah, me too. I'm surprised um he's he's ranked lower.
00:25:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, not only as a fantasy asset, but also as a player. and i like I will say this, Kripp played his ass off last year.
00:25:28
Jarrod Dyke
That was the best season I've seen him have since he got into the Hurricanes team.
00:25:36
Jarrod Dyke
I'll give him all that credit. But Lakai, think, is just a better, more natural player.
00:25:41
George
Yeah, he's an unreal carrier as well.
00:25:45
Jarrod Dyke
McWright's off the board. Rona.
00:25:49
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, so is Rona going to play you next to Tupaya this year?
00:25:53
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Okay. That'll be fun.
00:25:53
George
Yeah, I think Rona's going starting.
00:25:58
George
Can anyone please not pick my player, please?
00:26:05
George
Who's Paul got his eye on? Who do you think? want
00:26:10
Jarrod Dyke
Uh... I don't know. Um... Hmm.
00:26:16
Jarrod Dyke
Anybody got Bath and Welsh connections?
00:26:21
George
Any Ospreys legends in there?
00:26:23
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was like, who who's in here that's...
00:26:33
Jarrod Dyke
Depends on... difference I can't control myself, man. know what tell you.
00:26:40
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, you got...
00:26:43
Jarrod Dyke
In midfield. I mean, there's no Rico this year, so they don't have that option to deploy in there.
00:26:55
Jarrod Dyke
Poor fella. Mack really gone. There goes that.
00:26:57
George
I agree he's gone, okay.
00:27:01
Jarrod Dyke
That was unofficially if the highest part player remaining, but yeah. Not sure he's worthy of that title.
00:27:09
George
No. Right, I am going to have to pick an OB in my next one.
00:27:14
George
but I've only got one. Yeah.
00:27:16
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. I love the Chiefs OBs, but it's always like which ones are going to play besides DMACC. And that's if DMACC's not playing fullback. Sometimes, obviously, he's mostly playing fly after them.
00:27:29
George
Is ah Stevenson not there anymore?
00:27:33
Jarrod Dyke
I think he jumped ship.
00:27:36
Jarrod Dyke
I think he jumped ship.
00:27:36
George
Yeah, Sheeter's gone.
00:27:40
Jarrod Dyke
I think he went north to to Japan, possibly.
00:27:46
George
Maybe, yeah. No Sheeter.
00:27:52
George
Liner, Donaldson, yeah, everyone he doesn't have a anyone who doesn't have a fly half now is just panicking.
00:27:53
Jarrod Dyke
Fuck you, Luke.
00:27:58
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Oh, I mean, yes.
00:27:59
George
those are those Those are panic picks.
00:28:02
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's... Because he Yeah, he picked... Yeah, okay. I mean, Lina is definitely a bit of a panic pick. I hope he's got somebody else.
00:28:11
George
Is that a handcuff? Is that a line?
00:28:13
Jarrod Dyke
No, because I have i have Carter.
00:28:14
George
No, because you got...
00:28:14
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. ah okay
00:28:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I hope that's not his only fly off. If it isn't, then he might be okay.
00:28:23
George
He's going to be in trouble.
00:28:24
Jarrod Dyke
But if it is, he is so screwed. Let's look. Oh, has DMACC already. he's fine
00:28:32
Jarrod Dyke
He's fine. He's fine.
00:28:33
Jarrod Dyke
He's fine. He's fine.
00:28:34
George
Already getting it back up.
00:28:38
Jarrod Dyke
I mean, think... this the Yeah, I guess the better thing to do is to find... It's ah it's a cat and mouse because... Is your guy going to play every week and outside of bye weeks? Maybe, maybe not.
00:29:00
George
Yeah, it feels bit early to get a handcuff already.
00:29:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I feel like things need to be filled out just a bit. Just a bit. All have we got here?
00:29:11
George
Stu's taking his sweet time.
00:29:14
Jarrod Dyke
Come on, Stu. We can do it.
00:29:27
Jarrod Dyke
Motel is now on the Chua now. Okay, interesting.
00:29:31
George
Yeah, I saw that. I don't think he's going to start there.
00:29:33
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, no. No, no, no. I don't... No, no, no. I can't imagine who...
00:29:38
George
us Stu's got a hell of a lot. He's got Tangitao, Tamifalao, and Will Jordan.
00:29:45
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, that's a good back three.
00:29:46
George
Very, very tasty back three.
00:29:47
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's... i think that's gonna turn into... ah fucking... was hoping that survive. Nope, Morby.
00:29:56
Jarrod Dyke
Morby back going to be huge for them. i yeah I get why he left, but at the same time, like I don't think he had a great time in France.
00:30:07
George
Bridge. Bridge is gone.
00:30:09
Jarrod Dyke
oh cause i Because that's going to just, you know, i Duncan, I love you, but I hope that's not your only, like, I hope he's not, I guess he he'll probably start most weeks, but like, damn.
00:30:21
George
Yeah. How old is George Bridge these days?
00:30:25
Jarrod Dyke
He's not young.
00:30:29
Jarrod Dyke
Played in the 19, at the 19 World Cup, didn't he?
00:30:33
Jarrod Dyke
he wasn't And he wasn't young then either.
00:30:39
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, he he looks so much older than he is. He's 30.
00:30:43
George
Really? Well, okay.
00:30:43
Jarrod Dyke
He looks so much older than he is.
00:30:44
George
It feels like he's been around for ages as well.
00:30:45
Jarrod Dyke
He's 30. Yeah, I think he started when he was like 19, which helps.
00:30:51
Jarrod Dyke
As a lot of the really good ones do. Come on, Paul. Did you find your favorite player yet? Let's go.
00:30:56
George
So the guy he was looking for is injured. Maybe he had his eyes on Tate.
00:31:03
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that ah that that would be it. That would make sense. Because like Tate, too. believe me Believe me.
00:31:09
Jarrod Dyke
But, yeah, maybe for later in the round. If that's your second scrum half and you're just goingnna wait for him to get healthy, that's a good way to go. But...
00:31:26
George
um you're going to take a for the lucky charms going to bring in lucky anderson he he he got me i was in a sacko and he saved me in that last round when he got four tries in that last match
00:31:40
Jarrod Dyke
No. Oh, yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think I was actually in a similar situation. I think about it. um Yeah, no. a
00:31:52
George
Right, there goes Nawara.
00:31:52
Jarrod Dyke
They must have.
00:31:53
George
Now that's who I was going to pick, so pull Paul's just sniped me.
00:31:55
Jarrod Dyke
That's a good one. Okay. Yeah.
00:31:59
Jarrod Dyke
Well, okay. um Let's do this. I know he's a little far down, but these are positions few and far between.
00:32:09
George
OK, Fakatava, nice.
00:32:09
Jarrod Dyke
imagine he's going to be.
00:32:11
George
Right, I'm going to take Perifeta because he's probably going starting at 15. Then,
00:32:16
Jarrod Dyke
yeah i imagine he's going to be
00:32:18
George
um and then Do I like any other outside backs left? Or do I pick up my boy, La Mape?
00:32:34
George
Why not? Bit of fun. Bit of fun. The cannonball in midfield.
00:32:37
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, I thought they were so silly to let him walk when they did New Zealand rugby.
00:32:47
Jarrod Dyke
that would He would have started for them so many games, or should have started for them so many games if they gave him a chance.
00:32:54
Jarrod Dyke
Man. All right,
00:33:01
Jarrod Dyke
what we got for... Ugh.
00:33:09
Jarrod Dyke
Nope, we're gonna wait on that.
00:33:11
George
Right. So I've got two outside backs, two midfielders, a fly half, half back, one Lucy and a front row. Not bad.
00:33:29
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, still using my brain here, okay. You know what?
00:33:38
Jarrod Dyke
Let's just, Why am I bothering to debate this?
00:33:44
Jarrod Dyke
what say Why am I bothering to debate anymore?
00:33:44
George
Can't go wrong. Yeah. Exactly.
00:33:48
Jarrod Dyke
He's one of the better players.
00:33:48
George
He's there. Take him.
00:33:50
Jarrod Dyke
I will need to find cover for him now too, but, but I can live with myself on that one.
00:33:57
Jarrod Dyke
All right. I technically have a starting lineup now, but wait, nope, except midfielder, but whatever.
Comprehensive Draft Process and Evaluation
00:34:07
Jarrod Dyke
But with that fucking week went by.
00:34:10
George
Yeah, as she I've got no canes yet.
00:34:10
Jarrod Dyke
did you Did you post your on your on your page all the bye weeks?
00:34:17
George
Yeah, I did a game overview for FRD and Draft Rugby, so yeah, it's in
00:34:26
Jarrod Dyke
I probably was scrolling and ah and liked it by just by chance, but I need to probably go back and actually pay the hell attention to what doing.
00:34:33
George
I'm going to do everyone in the WhatsApp a favor and post all those bye weeks.
00:34:38
Jarrod Dyke
Stick it in there. There you go.
00:34:40
Jarrod Dyke
sure so I'm sure everyone will appreciate it.
00:34:48
George
Yeah, so Canes, Reds, Tars, Druah, Chiefs.
00:34:54
Jarrod Dyke
Confirmed. Paul was looking for Tate.
00:35:03
Jarrod Dyke
Back in March. Okay, so a month into the season, which isn't too bad, but I bet you he doesn't start right away.
00:35:08
George
No. Not a bad stash in the later rounds, I think.
00:35:13
Jarrod Dyke
No, because I still have the Thomas guy, right? Did make that up?
00:35:17
George
Yeah, Kalani Tonnis.
00:35:17
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, and he's solid. And he's solid, so they'll be fine. They'll be fine. I'm sure he'll make make a few mistakes here and there because that happens, but they'll be fine.
00:35:37
George
so who else have we got? Kane's front row's gone.
00:35:41
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's good.
00:35:43
George
Oh, Paul's gone early on a lock. Tupu Valle, you're ready.
00:35:49
Jarrod Dyke
Not someone I consider
00:35:53
Jarrod Dyke
yeah worthy of jumping. like Tubovai a lot. He's usually one of the better scoring locks, but that's only like eight points a game, maybe.
00:36:03
George
Yeah, exactly. just not It's just not much of an edge to really go this early.
00:36:10
George
Pellegrini I liked.
00:36:11
George
I was thinking about him as my backup fly half.
00:36:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I do like put Patrick Pelligrini, I think. I think as a fantasy, he's a little bit better Avelia, but as a player, I think they're a better team when he's playing 10 and playing well.
00:36:36
Jarrod Dyke
So, does him a lot of favors there. okay
00:36:39
George
Look at Johnny McNichol still there. My God.
00:36:42
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. That, he cannot be young.
00:36:45
Jarrod Dyke
He cannot be young.
00:36:48
George
Johnny McNichol, I think he played about one game last year. 35. 35.
00:36:51
Jarrod Dyke
I think he played two or three, but yeah, not many. Not many. i
00:36:59
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, okay, so he's getting up there. 30, not so bad. 35, that's problem. Yeah.
00:37:19
Jarrod Dyke
I'm always tempted. i just want to stay away from him, but he actually had a good year last year.
00:37:22
George
Well, he's just relying. I mean, again, there's a lot to be said for just someone who plays every week. He's never going to get you massive scores, but he'll get you something.
00:37:32
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Oh, when you usually have Tom, right? Although I think he's banged up. He's gone. He's out this year, right?
00:37:38
George
Writes out for it. Yeah, he's probably done himself.
00:37:41
Jarrod Dyke
And then Corey tool in the back line that helps, helps people drop tension away from you.
00:38:02
Jarrod Dyke
Alright, here we go. Come on, guys. Let's do it. We're getting there.
00:38:06
George
Stu, Stu, Stu, come on.
00:38:06
Jarrod Dyke
Graffita over.
00:38:15
George
Right, I know who i want, but not going to say.
00:38:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, unfortunately, you're stuck with me here.
00:38:20
George
I'm not going to say when you're right in front of me. Yeah.
00:38:23
Jarrod Dyke
No. Was it... two or three years ago where you and I were bookending Ben.
00:38:30
Jarrod Dyke
So he had to just keep his mouth shut the whole time. Like, yeah, it was when he was off to the, went right off to the hospital afterwards.
00:38:39
George
Oh my god, that was the year where, yeah, because you guys, you were you were both straight off to the hospital afterwards and I think we uploaded it and it was missing tons of audio.
00:38:48
Jarrod Dyke
I have no idea what happened.
00:38:48
George
In the end it was just a monologue of you because for some reason we lost mine and Ben's audio.
00:38:53
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, well, Ben, ducked off, but then yours fell off too somehow.
00:38:57
Jarrod Dyke
i I haven't got a clue what happened on that day. I wish I could tell you.
00:39:01
George
One of the classics.
00:39:01
Jarrod Dyke
not an not Not an idea. Okay. ah Alright, let me...
00:39:08
George
Jock Campbell's gone. Yeah, see, we're we're now right at the dregs of the OB options.
00:39:14
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm. Still some guys that could do damage, but not gonna...
00:39:21
Jarrod Dyke
Although... Ooh, I...
00:39:22
George
Lockie Anderson. Sullivan, he just doesn't play enough. Fihaki doesn't play enough.
00:39:30
George
Dylan Peach, not bad.
00:39:33
Jarrod Dyke
No, not bad at all.
00:39:35
George
The Junkyard Dog, Tim Ryan's there.
00:39:37
Jarrod Dyke
Tim Ryan's a good one too.
00:39:39
George
Finiangonofo, I don't know if he's going to play much now that he's going to be off off to Newcastle at the end of the season. Kellaway's going to play.
00:39:47
Jarrod Dyke
He'll play a bunch. Depending how much you like him. Um... Yeah, Finianofo is going to have to wrestle his way into the team with Niholo, Love, and I would bet Morby's going to be in favor over him, honestly.
00:40:08
Jarrod Dyke
okay. Yep, he'll get all the runs here because Munson's not there anymore. So that'll be good.
00:40:20
Jarrod Dyke
ah Duncan's trying to screw Stu over. ah whereas Might screw himself over too, but you know.
00:40:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, back three is unbelievable. Just got to find someone that can fill a jersey sometimes.
00:40:34
George
Yeah, that backfra is ridiculous.
00:40:38
George
Tangitao, Tamifilou and Will Jordan. Ridiculous.
00:40:45
Jarrod Dyke
right, Paul, come on.
00:40:46
George
Come on, Paul. Taking the full 90 seconds again.
00:40:50
Jarrod Dyke
Is this going a panic pick now?
00:40:58
Jarrod Dyke
to nine eight Come on, Paul. 6. There we go.
00:41:02
George
harry yes ryan looking Was it worth the wait?
00:41:06
Jarrod Dyke
Ryan Lonergan? Really? Was that worth it? Jesus.
00:41:09
George
And I'm pretty sure he's injured as well.
00:41:15
Jarrod Dyke
I'm going to take that one as ah as an OB option for now.
00:41:17
George
Dylan Peach. Okay, nice nice. Okay, so let's take a...
00:41:18
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. not my Not my only OB, so I'm good with that.
00:41:23
George
Alright, I'm going take Bobby V.
00:41:25
Jarrod Dyke
Solid pick. Solid pick.
00:41:27
George
Okay. And then let's take an outside back. ah Oh, wait. Saved me at the end of the last season. Lockie, you're in.
00:41:42
Jarrod Dyke
Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. that's That is hilarious. Oh, my God.
00:41:48
Jarrod Dyke
ah well watch just Paul says, my watch just notified me of a, quote, stressful period that's draining my body body battery.
00:41:59
Jarrod Dyke
ah Nothing to do with waiting until the last 10 seconds for a Brian Lorgan pic. Oh, Paul. ah
00:42:09
Jarrod Dyke
Man, you gotta take care of those insides. You go you got enough you got enough to deal with.
00:42:11
George
yeah he really does this is not good this is not good
00:42:18
Jarrod Dyke
And I think he just realized Ryan Long is injured. Because he just had that, are you kidding me?
00:42:32
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, think he's having a slight moment moment of, oh shit, what did I just do?
00:42:38
Jarrod Dyke
What would Justin... Yeah, good question.
00:42:44
George
okay so Lonegan Peach, Valentini, Lackey Anderson, David Havidi.
00:42:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Really, he's not going light up the world, but at least he's going to fill that midfield jersey most weeks, so...
00:43:02
Jarrod Dyke
They did even roll him out there at 10 a little bit and gave him some kicks. So if he kicks, then actually feel pretty good about that.
00:43:13
Jarrod Dyke
have sworn he was a better kicker, but man, he put up a stinker last year in terms of that.
00:43:18
George
Just not a year to remember for him.
00:43:21
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no, no.
00:43:25
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, right. think I got a pretty good idea what I'm going to next.
00:43:32
Jarrod Dyke
some rumors she's off.
00:43:35
George
Yep. Rumour has it.
00:43:38
Jarrod Dyke
I mean, I think,
00:43:44
Jarrod Dyke
I think the overall alliance on Sam Cain for Al Blacks really hindered him. Um,
00:44:04
George
Yeah, exactly. His is is All Black's days, they've passed him by now.
00:44:05
Jarrod Dyke
andlock i And and
00:44:11
Jarrod Dyke
yeah, that sucks. I like him a lot. I really do.
00:44:19
Jarrod Dyke
Stash class. That's a good, that's a good line.
00:44:26
Jarrod Dyke
Stu will know something that we don't.
00:44:29
George
Yeah, what did he know about Inia Tabaval? Karifi, there there's a lot of decent loose forwards still left.
00:44:35
Jarrod Dyke
There is, there is, which is why I was, as I was looking at my last two picks, I was like, I can hold that.
00:44:45
George
Karifi, Jacobson...
00:44:48
Jarrod Dyke
Tubbo of Owl is Drua, um,
00:44:53
George
Oh, God. And on when you when you pick an unknown truer, you know they're going to be good.
00:44:58
George
you know they're going to be good
00:44:58
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, right. And it just seems to be how it usually works, right?
00:45:03
Jarrod Dyke
Used to play it a bit for Rossing.
00:45:07
Jarrod Dyke
So, okay. That's interesting. could and Could turn into a good one. ah Nice to Toro. There's one. Pete Samu. Oh, well that's a good one, actually. Pete Samu.
00:45:18
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Played so well for Bordeaux.
00:45:21
George
Yeah. I didn't realize he was back.
00:45:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that was kind of the deal. He signed to come back to Super Rugby so we could get on the
00:45:33
Jarrod Dyke
the... into the Lions action.
00:45:49
George
Braidon Enor I'm not sure about him
00:45:52
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm... I don't love him, honestly.
00:45:57
George
No I've been stung by him quite a lot on FRD
00:46:00
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. He's displayed great talent sometimes, and then others, I'm just like, what the fuck was that?
00:46:04
George
Yeah. Well, when he broke through, he was he was really good.
00:46:09
George
But then I think he had quite a bad knee injury and he's just not been the same.
00:46:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, it's definitely hard him.
00:46:14
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Definitely.
00:46:18
Jarrod Dyke
There he goes.
00:46:21
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, uh... Yeah. Luquent double hurricanes. Fingin' up, Owen, Creepy. One of them's gonna play a lot. One of them, less so. Okay.
00:46:34
George
Not a bad stash when he does come on.
00:46:36
Jarrod Dyke
No. By no means. By no means whatsoever.
00:46:42
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. You sniping bastard. Yeah, that's Matt
00:46:49
Jarrod Dyke
that's mattie
00:46:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, Matt T apparently grabbed someone that Luke was not, was planning to have it.
00:47:01
George
Harry Wilson. He's another one who's recovering from injury, but
00:47:05
George
That far down, that's not so bad.
00:47:06
Jarrod Dyke
ah say As long as that's not your first one, you're in good shape.
00:47:12
Jarrod Dyke
If that's your first one or um someone you're planning on starting, you're going to need a plan B.
00:47:18
George
Yeah, coming back around.
00:47:22
Jarrod Dyke
Going to need a plan B, kids.
00:47:32
Jarrod Dyke
We can do it.
00:47:36
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, let's see. This is not mark Mark's first rodeo. I bet you he he knew better. far That's supposed to be one of his starters. Uh-oh. Sorry, Mark gave you too much credit.
00:47:52
George
How long is he out for?
00:47:56
Jarrod Dyke
I'd say at least a month.
00:47:57
George
Yeah. A month's not that bad.
00:48:02
George
But you'll need to pick someone up on his next one.
00:48:06
Jarrod Dyke
Stu, what did I do? Stu was unhappy with me.
00:48:14
Jarrod Dyke
What does he take? Oh, Brett Cameron.
00:48:17
Jarrod Dyke
Not worried about it, dude. Oh, he only had his knee scoped. That's not too bad. Let's see.
00:48:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, Wilson only had knee scoped. It
Late-Round Picks and Team Composition Reflection
00:48:32
Jarrod Dyke
shouldn't be too bad. um Six weeks. Okay.
00:48:36
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, it's ah it's not as bad as it could have been.
00:48:39
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, Scope's going to keep you... Scope keeps an average person out for like a couple weeks. An athlete's goingnna keep out for a lot longer because, well, you need to be able to run.
00:48:49
George
Yeah. And someone like Harry Wilson as well.
00:48:52
George
Getting through the work he does.
00:48:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, yes, absolutely. but he'll be He should be okay.
00:48:58
Jarrod Dyke
All right right, let's see.
00:49:02
Jarrod Dyke
All right, I like... this guy a lot
00:49:12
Jarrod Dyke
lot. That'll help him.
00:49:16
Jarrod Dyke
That gives me two, yeah, that gives me three decent choices for, or two decent choices for a halfback, so hopefully I won't have too many problems.
00:49:16
George
Decent. For me, he's the third best Scrum half option.
00:49:26
George
Yep. Right, so I'll take Kelleway I will take backup Lucy.
00:49:31
Jarrod Dyke
Kellaway, here Kellaway is great.
00:49:36
George
then i will take a backup lucy
00:49:45
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm. Hear that one?
00:49:49
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Yeah, that's solid.
00:49:55
Jarrod Dyke
I hope this guy plays a lot. I liked him when he did play Bryle from the Reds.
00:49:59
Jarrod Dyke
If he plays a lot, then he's going to do well, I have a feeling. i get the sense he'll get some it get some looks while Wilson's down, so at the very least, there's that.
00:50:12
Jarrod Dyke
When you were saying, and then, have you seen Dude, Where's My Car?
00:50:15
George
And then... No more them.
00:50:18
Jarrod Dyke
Exactly. Exactly. Okay.
00:50:22
Jarrod Dyke
Good. I'm so glad that you were able to pick that up. ah
00:50:30
George
ah All-time classic movie.
00:50:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Thankfully, George is old enough to remember that as i am so
00:50:35
George
but Yeah, I am. I am. I am.
00:50:38
Jarrod Dyke
ah I I think if I asked that to any of my schoolboy players, they'd be like, huh? I'd be like, huh?
00:50:45
Jarrod Dyke
Homework assignment. Go home and watch.
00:50:46
George
how come no How come no one watches Dude Where's My Car anymore?
00:50:50
Jarrod Dyke
Can't imagine why.
00:50:52
Jarrod Dyke
Definitely doesn't carry over well.
00:50:52
George
That's just an all-time classic.
00:50:53
George
set All-time classic.
00:50:55
Jarrod Dyke
the Definitely carry over well.
00:50:58
George
I haven't seen it recently. It's probably aged really badly.
00:51:00
Jarrod Dyke
oh it's it's Oh, it's definitely an age ballet. I think I saw it like five years ago. i was like, well this is the reason this is not popular anymore. with There's definitely some some ones that I would watch on my own, but I'm never going to show them to Lachlan, and I'm never going admit that I keep watching them.
00:51:18
Jarrod Dyke
There's definitely some stuff out there. It's like, ooh, let's not.
00:51:21
Jarrod Dyke
No, let's not do that.
00:51:26
George
Right. Where am I struggling? do another midfielder as a backup.
00:51:32
Jarrod Dyke
uh, Ollie Sapsford has left the building.
00:51:36
Jarrod Dyke
and Interesting.
00:51:37
George
I mean, he's an outside back who often plays midfield as well.
00:51:42
Jarrod Dyke
think he's listed as a midfielder this year.
00:51:46
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. So I think that might do some, do some favors for him in certain situations.
00:51:59
George
I could do, yeah, could do mid, maybe a backup fly half. We've got five picks left.
00:52:05
Jarrod Dyke
I believe so. Yeah. If my math is good on this, 17 minus 12.
00:52:14
George
Right, so who's on a buy in that ridiculous week? Brumbies, Blues, Highlanders, Canes, Moana. Right, so I've got couple of Brews, a couple of Brumbies.
00:52:25
Jarrod Dyke
If it's that far out, I'm not to try and play it for it.
00:52:27
George
No, exactly. Just want to see how fucked going be for it. At the moment, not so bad.
00:52:36
Jarrod Dyke
Jochenla Sova. Interesting. Yeah.
00:52:36
George
Might be able stick like five or six players out.
00:52:42
George
Yeah, don't think...
00:52:42
Jarrod Dyke
I always have it in my head. If I have a but if i have bi-week hell, I'm just going to eat the loss and hope that that's my my my my year's is not going terribly, but more often than not, that's not how it works.
00:52:54
Jarrod Dyke
It's usually like, shit, I need to find a way to win this game because I am struggling.
00:52:58
George
that everyone Everyone's going to be in the same boat that week. I don't think anyone's going to stick a full team out.
00:53:04
Jarrod Dyke
ah be I mean, you'll be lucky to. Although, it was last year, maybe two years ago, someone had a full team in one of those situations and lost. Because someone went, someone on the other team went nuts.
00:53:14
George
Oh my God. That's when you just, that's when you give up.
00:53:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, someone on the other team just went absolutely berserk and did all did all the all the work But man,
00:53:27
George
Joe G. Nosova. Who's that?
00:53:31
Jarrod Dyke
Guessing. Sounds like a Fijian player, but I could be wrong. Let's
00:53:40
George
Duncan's got some intel there.
00:53:42
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Yep, Fijian guy.
00:53:46
Jarrod Dyke
I think he's going to be someone heading north after this season.
00:53:50
Jarrod Dyke
like Looks like Red Bulls are signing him or tracking this guy to him.
00:53:55
George
Red Bulls are signing every everyone.
00:53:57
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, we're throwing some cash out of everything, and hopefully it doesn't...
00:54:00
Jarrod Dyke
hopefully It hopes they don't suck anymore, because they can't suck.
00:54:07
Jarrod Dyke
when when i when i When I say a team sucks on the Prem, I don't compare it to Newcastle, because they're just terrible. That's a different type of suck.
00:54:18
Jarrod Dyke
My son is definitely destroying something right now.
00:54:19
George
they certainly there They are splashing the cash.
00:54:22
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, now they're trying to finally not suck.
00:54:29
Jarrod Dyke
There goes that.
00:54:30
George
Wacker was in as a lock last year, wasn't he?
00:54:40
Jarrod Dyke
Howdy doodly.
00:54:43
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, i'm again, not a bad place to do it.
00:54:46
George
No, I suppose it's all right here.
00:54:47
Jarrod Dyke
So I'm not on Malo. Is all I'm gonna play?
00:54:51
George
Alan Malou, don't know. He's just, yeah, he's bit flaky, isn't he?
00:55:10
Jarrod Dyke
Let's see. We got another one off the board. Braden Yosei. Yeah, I'm actually surprised he lasted this long. He is solid.
00:55:17
Jarrod Dyke
As long as he's healthy, he's going to play number eight most weeks.
00:55:19
George
Yeah, he has some massive games.
00:55:21
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Yeah, definitely felt a little bit out of favor towards the end of the season, but still, like, that dude's hard to tackle. So, solid play when he's in. Ah,
00:55:43
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Steve just grabbed him.
00:55:46
George
Waka. Yeah, they're all going now.
00:55:49
Jarrod Dyke
there's There's that. Yeah. And then Paul. What are you going to do, Paul?
00:55:57
George
Paul is going to run the clock down.
00:56:03
George
That's what he does.
00:56:11
Jarrod Dyke
see. What does Paul need?
00:56:12
George
Peter I buy saw me when I mean pie saw me as a walking yellow card when he's not getting carded he's alright.
00:56:17
Jarrod Dyke
He is definitely a card, though. gonna pick pop Paul's well covered. Mead's a backup 10 and a backup 9, but pretty well covered otherwise.
00:56:33
Jarrod Dyke
I honestly don't think there's a 10 worth grabbing right now.
00:56:40
George
ah He's left. Jack Bowen, yeah, i mean they're all...
00:56:45
Jarrod Dyke
Nope. Nope. Nothing that makes me stand up, that's for sure.
00:56:51
George
There's no definitely no starters.
00:56:51
Jarrod Dyke
Godfrey is out for the year, so nobody go for that.
00:56:55
Jarrod Dyke
if he If he plays at all for the Hurricanes, it'll be a miracle. Breathe, Paul, breathe.
00:57:04
George
It's making me nervous now.
00:57:05
Jarrod Dyke
No shit. Come on, buddy. Another 10. And 9. 8. 7. and nine eight seven Six, five, four. We're definitely going to panic pick. Three, two, and autodraft.
00:57:18
George
Who's he gone? Who did he go for in the end? Hugh Renton again after all that weight.
00:57:22
Jarrod Dyke
You, Renton? Doctor that, Paul. Come on. What are we doing here? Oh, goodness. All right. We'll go for the junkyard dog. Give myself some depth.
00:57:32
George
All right. Yeah, good shot. Okay. And I'm just going to take a backup mid Hamish Stewart.
00:57:40
Jarrod Dyke
Easily, he'll play most weeks.
00:57:41
George
He's not going to, yeah, exactly. And he's not really going to be, I've got La Mappe and Tava Tava Nauwe, so I'm not going to be, ah let's take another outside back.
00:57:48
Jarrod Dyke
Relying on him too much.
00:57:51
George
Cole Forbes, I was quite impressive of last year, so he can come in.
00:57:54
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I thought he was pretty good. i thought he was pretty good.
00:57:56
George
Should have another good another good season.
00:57:58
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, for sure. I think so, too. um I'm definitely going with a dart throw here. Tally from the Blues. the
00:58:10
Jarrod Dyke
they they were They were pumping him up, and he had one or two good games, but didn't really... Didn't really quite pan out, but another year under his belt, I think it might turn into something good, but at this point, you're just throwing darts.
00:58:23
George
Yeah, definitely. Three picks left.
00:58:24
Jarrod Dyke
throw the pasta Throw the pasta at the wall. See what sticks.
00:58:28
George
Some of it will stick.
00:58:31
Jarrod Dyke
See what you got. All right.
00:58:35
George
Yeah, let's have look.
00:58:42
Jarrod Dyke
At this point, if you're... we have three picks left. At this point, if you have two loose forwards you love, there's not really a reason to have a backup loosey.
00:58:56
Jarrod Dyke
If you have two that you're like, meh, then maybe grab one. But there's always so much depth available on the waiver wire for loose forwards.
00:59:05
Jarrod Dyke
Like... focus on positions that are going to be really annoying to replace midfield because you start two of those. Because you lose four, you don't even start three, you start two.
00:59:05
George
Yeah, you're right.
00:59:15
Jarrod Dyke
So that's the upside of that.
00:59:16
George
There's there's tons tons left over and there's lot of...
00:59:21
George
churn and attrition in the loose forwards as well so so you're fine I don't think I've ever had a backup halfback either yeah well but you know often even a benched scrum half will get a good run so i've I've just rarely I've just generally streamed halfback I mean I've got Ratama so I'm not really that bothered only when Chiefs are on a bye I'll be looking for someone else
00:59:22
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, usually, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:59:28
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, really? that that That is bravery, sir.
00:59:40
Jarrod Dyke
If it's a good player, yeah.
00:59:49
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. And it's a matter of, it's also a matter of, do you want to um
00:59:58
Jarrod Dyke
put someone on the waiver wire that you find more valuable going forward for four points?
01:00:09
George
Lalamino, Lalamino. So good they named them twice.
01:00:12
Jarrod Dyke
Twice, yeah, exactly. Precisely. The
01:00:24
Jarrod Dyke
only reason that I need a backup Lucy right now because I have a Hurricane playing week one, so that's not goingnna go well.
01:00:36
George
LaSakwa, Cameron Miller, Sid Harvey. Who's Sid Harvey?
01:00:41
George
have idea who's Sid Harvey.
01:00:43
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, got me beat.
01:00:44
George
Who the fuck is that guy?
01:00:48
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, Stu's doing some research over here.
01:00:51
Jarrod Dyke
There goes that. Yeah, it
01:01:02
Jarrod Dyke
that beats me, man.
01:01:15
George
said how Are you googling Sid Harvey?
01:01:17
Jarrod Dyke
No, I'm researching, making sure I'm not missing something here.
01:01:19
George
Sid Harvey Ruppy Australian winger playing for the Tars
01:01:25
Jarrod Dyke
Thinking he might be a...
01:01:28
George
Big Lump 6-3 He's played twice for the Tars and scored 15 points it's called three chis He's a sevens player
Draft Conclusion and Future Plans
01:01:39
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Sevenscon birds, if they hit the ground running, they usually work out very well.
01:01:44
George
Yeah, could be another Corey tool.
01:01:46
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, yeah. and know, if I was a sevens guy for a while. Yeah, there's some there's something good there, I have a feeling.
01:01:56
George
Jack Bowen, have my eye on him.
01:01:59
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's definitely a just in case. I am just going to roll with Carter Gordon and live with my consequences otherwise.
01:02:06
Jarrod Dyke
I don't know if I want another fly half out there. how Maybe Jake him, but I don't know if I want to burn a pick on that.
01:02:24
George
are the Brumbies on a buy? Not for a while, okay. I might have to to trade a fly half or if there's an injury pick someone up. Oh, they're on buy on the week of Buymageddon, so...
01:02:42
George
Yeah, I'm not even going to bother a backup fly half then at this stage.
01:02:47
George
Jackham's just gone as well.
01:02:50
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, there goes that. So much for that idea.
01:02:53
George
Kamara was pretty rubbish at the Crusaders last week last year. No. No.
01:02:57
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. um I mean, Rihanna wasn't special, but man, Kamara was bad.
01:03:04
Jarrod Dyke
He was truly bad.
01:03:13
Jarrod Dyke
like, think he's I think he's banged up and maybe not going to play much this year, but ah I like the Hurley kid from the Highlanders last year.
01:03:22
Jarrod Dyke
He did well until he got, he did get hurt last year. i remember that. But let's see.
01:03:31
George
yeah Finn Hurley, when he was fit, was absolutely brilliant.
01:03:37
George
He's got like a... Didn't he get a hat-trick in... and i think he got a couple of tries and carried for something ridiculous, like 200 metres in one match, and then he promptly got banged up straight after that.
01:03:48
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he did. Yep, here he is.
01:04:01
Jarrod Dyke
Six to eight weeks, but he's not someone I'm leaning on, so I don't care.
01:04:05
Jarrod Dyke
That's fine with me.
01:04:07
George
Okay. You're on. Racky Ray.
01:04:08
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. There it goes. There goes that.
01:04:10
George
Finn Hurley. All right.
01:04:11
Jarrod Dyke
There goes that.
01:04:12
George
So I'm going to take Corey Evans because he actually, he's in as a midfielder, but he played at fullback for quite a lot.
01:04:18
Jarrod Dyke
He did. He did.
01:04:19
Jarrod Dyke
That's a good one.
01:04:24
George
and then going to take Jeremy Williams or Nick Frost.
01:04:39
Jarrod Dyke
Hmm. Yeah. I might roll Sans. Sans lock this here. Need another back. Need another moves forward.
01:04:49
Jarrod Dyke
ah yeah I find if I can't but grab you know whoever the new Starlet lock is off the waiver wire, I usually won't roll with him unless there's someone that's really obvious and I grab him early.
01:05:01
Jarrod Dyke
But right now...
01:05:02
George
Well, Tupuy Vy went really early and I think Frost is only the second lock that's come off the board. Matt Phillip.
01:05:09
George
he He was a bit of a TRM legend, wasn't he, Matt Phillip, when he was at the Rebels?
01:05:13
Jarrod Dyke
ah Yeah. Yeah. Mm hmm.
01:05:17
George
Fabian Holland as well. i mean, they're good for five or six points.
01:05:24
Jarrod Dyke
Depends on how much.
01:05:24
George
Could make the difference in some weeks.
01:05:24
Jarrod Dyke
you Yeah, I mean, good. Good. I usually subscribe to if I needed it that badly. I probably fucked up somewhere else. So.
01:05:44
Jarrod Dyke
you're gonna I think you're going to have Mr. Irrelevant.
01:05:58
Jarrod Dyke
Have I gone too hard on that? Let's see. You
01:06:11
Jarrod Dyke
Come on, Paul. Do it again.
01:06:15
George
Go on, Paul. Everything. What's it?
01:06:18
Jarrod Dyke
Harry McLaughlin.
01:06:20
Jarrod Dyke
I don't know if he's going to play. He's still the Reds, isn't he?
01:06:24
George
Third choice at the Reds.
01:06:37
Jarrod Dyke
Yes, Mark, I know he's out for at least a month. I'm talking about Hurley on our chat here. Yes, I'm i'm aware, but he's not someone i'm playing on starting, so it's okay.
01:06:52
Jarrod Dyke
Holland, Penny. Okay, here we go. Starting to rattle him off here.
01:07:01
Jarrod Dyke
Last pick. Coming up here, friends. We're still on the end of the 16th round, but we'll make that turn towards the last round issue.
01:07:16
Jarrod Dyke
ah Yeah, and we know you're woefully undereducated on rugby. It's okay. a lot of people coming that way.
01:07:35
George
Oh, I don't know who to go with my Mr. Irrelevant. really don't.
01:07:37
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, man. i mean, inevitably, they more often than not just get chucked away. So this is my last pick.
01:07:44
George
yeah Yeah, exactly.
01:07:46
Jarrod Dyke
Gone. Don't care. Especially for, you know. Oh, shit. I need a starting OB. Well, there's one there and this guy is basically useless. So chuck them away.
01:08:03
George
Riley Higgins, Mattielli's gone.
01:08:15
Jarrod Dyke
No one wants the legend that is Tui Draki Sama Samabhadra.
01:08:21
Jarrod Dyke
It's alright. I wouldn't want him either. there And he played for the Pre-Jacks, so if I don't want him, nobody else should.
01:08:26
George
Yeah. Free Jacks legend. Charlie Gamble, he had an amazing game against the Lions.
01:08:35
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Kind shocked me, honestly. So if we got some Stupid moments in his game, though, unfortunately.
01:08:56
Jarrod Dyke
No. Let's see.
01:09:02
George
Yeah, there's no point in picking up loose forward now. There's just so much depth.
01:09:13
Jarrod Dyke
I guess there is a name.
01:09:27
Jarrod Dyke
All right, here we go.
01:09:31
Jarrod Dyke
Almost there.
01:09:31
George
Who took Alan Malou?
01:09:35
Jarrod Dyke
Oh, I don't know. it was a while ago.
01:09:44
George
So for me, oh and I don't know.
01:09:59
Jarrod Dyke
Oh my God. Oh yeah. o So I'll grab Kalani Thomas. Okay.
01:10:06
George
Kalani Thomas is gone.
01:10:07
Jarrod Dyke
Leota. Is that Rob Leota's like brother?
01:10:13
George
Derby Lancaster, he played a few games as well, didn't he? Tristan Riley.
01:10:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, there's some wild names. Ah, okay. I think I got my last pick, is probably not going matter for fuck, but...
01:10:32
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, I think I was okay with him last year, if I remember right. Maybe I wasn't. We can rewind the tape.
01:10:40
George
Jeremiah Murray was supposed to be quite quite a big thing when was at the Crusaders.
01:10:44
George
He's just not really done at the Reds.
01:10:45
Jarrod Dyke
Nope. Yeah, he's kind of crashed out on both, so... I'm not going to really spend the time on that one. I mean, it's not if it's someone's last pick, whatever.
01:10:54
George
Yeah. Punivai, Januolo.
01:11:01
Jarrod Dyke
Come on, move by.
01:11:03
George
Lowe got six tries in six games. please
01:11:06
Jarrod Dyke
General loaded?
01:11:07
George
Jonah Lowe, yeah. And I guess with Nareki being an injury, can certainly...
01:11:12
Jarrod Dyke
Concern. Yeah.
01:11:20
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, or yep. Yeah, that's definitely a just grab whatever's left type of move right there.
01:11:29
Jarrod Dyke
Fair enough, though.
01:11:34
Jarrod Dyke
Ethan Black at air, oh boy.
01:11:37
George
Is that who pulled it?
01:11:38
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no, no. I hope not. Seven OBs, party time.
01:11:46
Jarrod Dyke
It's not nearly enough. Can I have more?
01:11:52
Jarrod Dyke
I mean, I got six.
01:11:59
Jarrod Dyke
think I did that. I think I did heavy OBs in one of the draft 15 ones, and I regretted it.
01:12:04
Jarrod Dyke
Because it was there. think it was in one of the URC ones. And there's so much chop and change in the URC. I was just like, I probably should ah spread this one out a little bit better.
01:12:15
Jarrod Dyke
All right, here we go.
01:12:21
Jarrod Dyke
Darby Lancaster has been taken.
01:12:22
George
Okay. Lancaster's gone.
01:12:31

01:12:42
Jarrod Dyke
There you go.
01:12:43
George
There we go. Done.
01:12:44
Jarrod Dyke
