Introduction and Banter
00:00:03
Speaker
It is. The Fantasy Europeans. My name is Jared Dyke. I wanted to say it's stupid and let's move on, but then you kept going. I'm Ben Glauser. I don't like any way anybody gambled that. Collusion. Collusion.
00:00:30
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. I think. I'm Ron Brandy. I'm Ben Glauser. God damn it. Put a question mark on the teletype again. He'll read it.
00:00:48
Speaker
Go fuck yourselves.
Fantasy Rugby League Standings
00:00:54
Speaker
It's fancy quarter time. Oh boy. And Ben, I already lost. All right. We're already off the defense. So buckle in and hold on. Yeah, this is. Oh shit. All right. JVX league recap. And so we had Chico final for champions cup and
00:01:13
Speaker
For division one, it's, and I will be able to give recap in a second on where everyone is after this one. It's Stu, Duncan, George, Cobus, Mark, myself, and Ben, and then Justin. Mark had the yellow hat on the weekend. Well done to Mark. He jumped two spots with that. And then Duncan doesn't get to retain his title, but does himself quite honorable by getting to second. So good on him. And division two.
00:01:43
Speaker
It is every Paul Alex Barty Luke with the yellow hat on the weekend. It wasn't enough to make him make moves on you performer at all, but that's okay. Uh, Frank on an Anton. Um, the only movement was Alex and Barty swap spots with that.
00:02:03
Speaker
It's so max points for the comp or seven, which obviously goes to the winner, seven, six, five, four, all the way down to zero for the last one for the second, the last with that, it leaves division one still hotly contested. Um, Stu and Cobus have trade spots. They are. And then, uh, Stu's now tried with George up at the top on 21 Cobus has 20 right behind them. And then right behind them is Duncan with 17.
00:02:34
Speaker
then it becomes a bit of a gap Mark with 14. And then it really just becomes a gap between Justin and myself and Ben nine, eight and well, Ben's got two and division two is getting interesting. There's some guys that are trying to close that gap that Alex and Franco built. Alex is still on top with 24 Franco has 18 Paul 12, Avery 11.
00:03:02
Speaker
Uh, Luke eight party six and Taun has one with two competitions still to go final. Um, three competitions to go final. Excuse me. We have enough already went to 10 points each in those, the two super brew competitions, prime and super. And then the super right. We sold. There is plenty of points on the line and yes, there are donuts that you can get awarded as well. So, um,
00:03:29
Speaker
And those of you that are in like FRD sackos, there's a point there. There's a point there. Um, so don't lose them. If you're in one of them, I'm going up against Cobus in one. That's not fair. Condolences to you. Yeah. Um, so yeah, there's that. And yeah. And even like second to last in the two super ruins gets, gets two. So keep fighting, man. Like the points are that there's points there. And this is that, that, and that's also why we up some of the points in somebody's competition. We wanted,
00:03:59
Speaker
things to get interesting right down till the last competition was done. Hang on to your hats, kids.
Fantasy League Analysis
00:04:07
Speaker
With that, let's look at Subaru, Super Rugby, and then we'll go to FRD.
00:04:17
Speaker
Big jump for people jumped around you, Ben in super rugby. George jumped to and, uh, Stu fell to you. Didn't move an inch. Nope. And that was the end. Um, so at the top it's so Cobus Mark, George has now jumped into the third Ben, uh, Stu myself, Justin, and then Duncan, Justin got the wooden spoon. George got the yellow hat for the weekend.
00:04:45
Speaker
Division two, let me know who's in last. That's not a mystery. Um, Paul with the yellow hat. Well done, sir. Franco. There's no movement whatsoever either. Abri, myself, uh, yep. Abri, Barty, Luke, Alex, and then Manton's and last we know that it's not news there. Um, yeah. God damn it. I've already semi-finals division one. Um, yeah.
00:05:15
Speaker
I, uh, I did okay in terms of coming back from George, but I couldn't make up the difference from the week before I beat him by seven. And I think you beat me like 17 the week before. So yeah, just, just about that on the nose. So made up for a little bit, but I needed a lot more. And, um, going into the final game of the weekend, I was in trouble to begin with. Thank God. I had not too much. I had a fucking day.
00:05:45
Speaker
Crowball, he actually played pretty well for myself on from the Jua. Yeah. Pretty good from my to be Canadian sweat. Oh, well, I will happily take the, uh, the points that I'm going to lose on that, but that's okay. Take the, take the semi-final points for, and I run with it. Yes. And then the other semi-final, the other finalist will be Mark. You beat Justin. I think you won both game, both semi-final match ups. I don't think about it.
00:06:13
Speaker
Yeah, you won both. So that was always going to happen there. Sacco, as we, as we mentioned, it's going to be, so Duncan and Stu no longer need to worry about their teams. They can go have a sit on their hands for this weekend and just deal with that. They get, they get a few points as well. And then it'll be Ben and Cobus that do it out for that final point in the Sacco ball.
00:06:43
Speaker
Let's jump over to division two. The one place that I think Anton's actually fucking trying because he is, he was, he did finish as one of the better ones. Yep. Um, I swear I know who checked and Rudy is. Um, Nope.
00:07:13
Speaker
But anyway, I did know it. Damn it. Anyway, if you're listening to this in your division two, please sort yourself, like just announce yourself to me so I can not look like such an idiot. But anyways, it is, it is Anton against, um, in the championship against Chuck Dougherty. I don't know who it is. Uh, Franco and whoever the heck is Mr. Rugby, they're, they're the ones in the Sacco Ball, uh,
00:07:37
Speaker
The two that fell out were player X and Alex. So they're in championship bracket. And then Sacco was, um, Luke. And, um, I think when she's party. Yeah, that sounds right. So two of them were, we'll get, we'll get to take a seat for a little while and hang out and just enjoy the rugby in general.
00:08:02
Speaker
I did update before last weekend the standings for our PWR fantasy. So catching up. They're getting there. We're getting there. We got a punch in last week's, but Ryan's still in front, actually by pretty good margins. Although we'll see what this week brought. Ben, myself, Julia, and Joe has made a big jump. Those are the top five right there.
00:08:32
Speaker
Um, biggest weekend of the since our last chat actually went to Joe though, I believe. Yeah. She has 71.1 last week. Yeah. That's redonkulous. Well, not last week, couple weeks ago, two weeks ago. Yeah. Two weeks ago. Um, pretty Dick.
00:08:56
Speaker
And then it was, yeah, she had Marley Packer, she had Jess Breach, and she had Emma Sing. Emma Sing had 15 as a kicker. Damn. Woo. Woo woo woo. Yeah, big time. Big old W. Double you. Okay, so we are on to PWR packs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
00:09:25
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, spread mine out this week for the first time. Yeah, I've been concentrating them on one game this time. I'm I'm going for three different players, three different teams, three different games. So not even keeping them keeping it tight at all. My forward, I'm
00:09:52
Speaker
You know, I kind of there's not too much play for for these teams, although let me see. Where did I close that window already? Because I'm an idiot. I think I did. Well, I think the top four is determined. It's just a matter of order for you. I think even just it's three and four. The matter where they finish. Hold on. Where the hell did it go? Nowhere where you can find it, apparently. Come on there. Now back.
00:10:28
Speaker
All right, maybe I was a different. I believe in you. You can do it. I don't know that I can. Anyway. There we go. No, there I don't go. What the fuck? Yeah, maybe. There we go. I got to it. No, that's division.
00:10:59
Speaker
This sucks. England, fix your fucking... Sight. Sight, because I'm trying to get back to the fixtures and results and it's not getting me there.
00:11:10
Speaker
Anywho, yeah, so anyway Bristol Have themselves a pretty tasty matchup and I really like the way ruin and Marston Mulhern's playing so stop copying my homework. Damn it. She's going to be my forward Exeter also have a little bit to play for and they have because you're in Bristol playing sale. I
00:11:32
Speaker
So, um, yes, I believe so. So yummy. And then, um, yeah, Bristol are plenty sale.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah, Exeter are playing. I'm not sure who, God damn it, could I at least? They're playing Lester. Lester, which is, again, pretty tasty matchup. But again, these two teams are jockeying for position now. And I'm going to go with Marin Deutsch. Nice. I almost went with her. I almost went with her. I'm going a little out of left field. I'm going to actually take Sales Vicki Lafflin as my back. But as I mentioned, I'm going to go.
00:12:12
Speaker
marshmallow hern. And then I don't think I've used double triple checking myself. Damn it. I did use her like a billion weeks ago. I was going to use Gabby, but I'm not going to use that this week. Um, the Wilkin girl, I might, I might use her, um,
00:12:36
Speaker
And yeah, other than that, I'm going to have to think of a new one. Damn it. Hell. Cause I used to read last week. Can't use her. Yeah. I might be stuck with a meh kicker, but oh well. Yeah. So I'm going with a kicker who is on a kind of a met team, but she's having herself a year. Um, I noticed her on the, the Twitter is all the time. Um, because they keep showing her every time they, she kicks, you know, either for points or, um, PK, um,
00:13:04
Speaker
And she looks like she's 12, but she kicks a lot of ass. No pun intended. But, um, so I'm going with, uh, healing trail founders, Ellie green. Oh, good one. I might do that too. This time I'll admit that I copied your homework. So when the teacher catches us, it was just like, nope, just, just punish me. Don't push him.
00:13:26
Speaker
Let me punish him, but just don't punish him for that reason. All right, we are on to the prem. So we're going to do kind of like we did last week. This is a rewind to the old days, at least a little bit, which is nice. We're going to just rank each position. I have six in some, and I had like six props, but I have like nine back growers and OBs, so on and so forth.
00:13:54
Speaker
Anyway, we're just going to give, you know, our general opinions on who should be about where and dah, dah, dah. So prop, in terms of best use, dutois, probably. Or obano, but yeah, either way, actually. Either or. Yeah. And then, I mean, I might use the same spot on Waller, otherwise I might. When you have ace. Yeah. Or stick with obano. It doesn't matter. And then if you want to kind of go into left field, I think
00:14:24
Speaker
I think Rod's okay, but- Yeah, I have Rod. I'm not sure I'm going to keep him, but I have him for now.
Player Performance and Strategy
00:14:32
Speaker
Yeah. I'm kind of like- It could do worse. That's the thing about the props is you're kind of just hoping for seven or more. Yeah, follow the line. Right. If you get that, excellent. If not, all right, live with it.
00:14:52
Speaker
Um, so it was like, if you get less than 10, you're, you're pissed. More like, if you get less than five, you're like, God damn it, pick yourself up. Yeah. Once you do, how did you not fall over? Right. Uh, look, Theo Dan, or one of the saints guys, if Theo starts. Oh, if Theo starts Theo, cause he's just, he just may start, he may not start. I don't think he will. Um,
00:15:21
Speaker
I think it's going to be Jamie. I think they're going to throw their classics out there. In which case, I mean, sign me up for Kurzling. Right. I will definitely burn one of the extra Saint spots on him. Yeah. No question about that. Happily.
00:15:41
Speaker
Um, but other than that done, I don't know. It's going to be, I think it's, I think that game is going to be tough for the forwards for bath. Um, I think sale are going to lock them down pretty well. I think that's more of the, you're looking in their, their backline. Um, yeah, for the most part. I'm also, I mean, after the fucking.
00:16:00
Speaker
dog shit that the series produced. I'm definitely down a little bit on some series. Oh, absolutely. I don't know what, that's one of those. I don't know what to expect. So a lot of bed hedging going on here. Uh, who's your top lock? Kohl's. Yeah.
00:16:18
Speaker
I mean, mostly because I was definitely between Coles and Theo. Yeah. Theo's up there too, but I don't know if he's going to play. I mean, you know, I'm sure he will. I'm sure it's going to be Maro and Theo. That'd be smart. Yeah. But that's it. Those would be my two guys anyway. Yeah. Um, would be Coles and Theo. Throw a, to throw a kind of random name that just joined the whole, the whole party recently here in Andrews from sales.
00:16:46
Speaker
kind of one of those outside possibilities that's performed well since he's gotten to sale. It's just, can he do it now? Yeah, I would also, if I'm, you know, between us, um, I would look at Alex moon too. Yep. Possibility for sure. I like him back rower. I mean, I'm a truck fan, so I have him as one right now because I'm not,
00:17:15
Speaker
totally buying the fact that the Saracens are going to be able to stiffen up against the Saints, against the Saints attack. Right. But I'm seeing my idea, but I'm going with Tom Pearson, who's finally back from injury. If he's healthy. I mean, he played their last game. Did he? He came off the bench, but he played. Ah, okay.
00:17:37
Speaker
Well, if that's the case, then yes. I think that, yeah, it's one of those, hey, don't forget about him. Cause he's also only 5 million. So totally. Is there still a salary cap on this week? Yes. Okay. Salary cap is still on. I bet you there won't be for the final like there was for their champions cup though. I would bet the farm on that. Um, other than that, how high is your, how high is your highest Saracen back rower?
00:18:07
Speaker
Um, I still have, uh, I'm still high on Willis. Okay. And honestly, Gonzales a little bit cause they'll get like Willis will do a lot of work. Gonzales just needs a step and he's gone. Um, and they're both not terribly expensive considering. So I'm still, I'm still high on them. And especially cause that's, that's it. That's their, like the Saracens are going to live and die through their pack. Their back line is not, um,
00:18:37
Speaker
Particularly impressive so they're gonna those you know as much as Saints defense is tight Those back rowers for Saracens. I think will And especially those two Earl has kind of been taking a backseat to them just getting outplayed by them which also makes sense because He's exhausted at this point probably is extremely tired at this point
00:18:59
Speaker
And, uh, but Gonzo and Willis have just been ridiculous lately. So I would stick with them. Yep. You know, last, you know, that obviously that last match notwithstanding cause Gonzo didn't do much. Although, you know, Willis still got 12 and a half. He still actually showed the fuck up. So yeah. Worth play. Yeah. I think you and I were talking about, he had some of the most meters on the team that weekend, which was not great, but not good. Good for him.
00:19:26
Speaker
Uh, half back Mitchell or Spencer or somebody else Mitchell. Okay. Again, that, that's scootability. You can't overate that technical term. Yeah. That's a legal term. Um, fly house going to be interesting because they all have their merits, but I think
00:19:53
Speaker
I am very torn between Russell and Vince Smith because those are probably the two that are going to do the best in my opinion, but there's definitely a case for either of the other two as well. So won't certainly won't sniff at you if you're go with one of them. Perhaps, but my sit of the week is, is a fly half.
00:20:11
Speaker
There you go. And spoiler alert, but that's okay. It's not George Ford. Yeah. It kind of narrows it down, but it's not George Ford. And my two fly-haves on my team are the Finns, as you said. So, and I'm not changing them out. So. Yeah, probably not. Center, is it Ollie Lawrence and then pick your favorite otherwise? Ollie Lawrence and then fucking flip a coin. It's probably dings a red path, honestly.
00:20:43
Speaker
I don't want to go to centers from Bath, but probably. Yeah. That's my only, that's my only problem is, and then especially the sales defense, you know, the, the Curry's lurking. Um, that kind of worries me. Um, I would have even heard.
00:21:05
Speaker
If Sam James is playing in the back three, no, nevermind. I'm not finishing that sentence. He's playing in the back three. They're fucked. Yeah. Okay. Back three. Speaking of sleigh home. Yup. And then are we picking another Saint in there or are we getting home spicy? So against the spoiler alert, my start of the week this week, it'll be George for a bank.
00:21:35
Speaker
Oh, okay. Fun. Um, he's going to get opportunities as we know, Sarri's like to kick. Yeah. He's going to get running meters. Um, he's on the expensive side. That's the only downside. So.
00:21:48
Speaker
Yeah, but he's still, you know, which is why I have him a little bit lower, but yeah. But I think he's going to outscore Freeman, who is also the same level. Freeman's also done it the whole year, though, right? He has. But for a bank has been fucking lights out lately. So you're from that aside from that quince game. Yeah. But he's also highest, to be fair, is off the tee. So yeah, no. Your highest.
00:22:19
Speaker
non-saints back, back three player is yeah. Yeah, same. Yeah. So mine, mine's probably going to be two saints and then coca. Yeah. Like I'll probably. An argument can be mean as a contrarian for like either O flats or if you really want to get wild and crazy Roddy, but like,
00:22:45
Speaker
Matty maybe I just again that's your crazy. Yeah We get wild over here, right? All
Super Rugby Match Previews
00:22:55
Speaker
right, so we know who your start of the week is yeah My mind mines Russell Yeah, that's fair to you So yeah, I think he's gonna have a day I don't think I've picked him actually no no no if I picked him all year if I did it was a long time ago and
00:23:10
Speaker
I probably picked him even when I was like in that five week thing, we're not supposed to. So I've picked him a couple of times, I'm sure. Yeah. Um, yeah. So I definitely haven't picked him for a while if I pick him at all. So yeah, my, my start is going to be from Russell from bath. Uh, we know your sit's going to be from series. Yes. And this is how down we are because I'm also picking a sherry. Um, but yeah, it was from my sit of the week is Owen Farrell. Yeah.
00:23:34
Speaker
then mine's going to be LA daily. That's a good one too. Uh, you can see how much we're enjoying the search right now. Oh shit. Yeah. Well, not our, not our fault, man. Just calm as we see it. Right. Okay. Start a sit for the supers. I start us off with procedures, hosting Moana. That's the one.
00:24:02
Speaker
So both teams are in with a win and a drew a loss. So they both need to win and they need some help, which is going to make it somewhat intriguing. However, I think there's one team that's clearly better, especially with the energy that's been brought on by their halfbacks. Obviously, I'm going with Crusaders on that there. I'm leaning towards their direction. Their front row, yes.
00:24:30
Speaker
Colin Grace and Christian Liouwilly, FRD only, but don't sleep on him. Hotham, Burke, McLeod, Springer, Fiyaki are good for either FRD or Superbrew. I know Fiyaki's been getting some points off the tee lately and that kind of skews him, but still, he's on the wing and that'll help him. Crotty and McNichol, if you're hard up in FRD, but McNichol could go off, you never know. Say McNichol more than Crotty in my opinion.
00:24:59
Speaker
But the same time it is, it's more that Moana defenses, it leaves a lot to be desired. On the Moana side, Lo2 and EC in both, Tamatani, Willy Haveli, Sevilla, and a back three FRD only. I wouldn't risk them in Superbrew. No. No, I'm inclined to agree with you.
00:25:24
Speaker
Um, toss and reds, good old Queensland and New South Wales. Um, man, toss scare me for the most part. Uh, gambling Gleason in FRD just went in and a pinch, Gordon. Yep. Uh, page. Yep.
00:25:47
Speaker
for kettie, maybe, and then I'll walk it to no lossy. And that's the rest. I wouldn't touch reds. Yeah. That got some good stuff going on. Obviously different row along with a Fessler as a Subaru hooker. Yep.
00:26:01
Speaker
Suru is, is he loose forward in both formats? He's actually not doing terribly considering he's playing in the back row. So just keep that as a consideration possibility. With Noah Wilson, I'm okay with Liam Wright in FRD only, McRight in both formats. Tate, yes, correct, and yep. Greely, again, having,
00:26:25
Speaker
Ryan on the other side is really helpful for him along with Campbell. So the two of them are definitely in play. Midfielders are both in play as well. Fluking Paisami on both formats as well. Drew hosting the Rebels. Drew are in with a win. Rebels really have nothing to play for. They're already in and they can only drop to eight, which at that point doesn't really matter who they're playing. So I don't think they're going to give a care too much. Certainly not as much as the Drew will.
00:26:56
Speaker
Huh, thank you, auto correct for changing Waka to wake. But Waka in both formats. Frank Lamani, look for him to come back. The little pissy. Oh, yeah. Isaiah Revula, Masi, I'm sorry, Revula Masi. Yes, yes. And Revu Tomata, all those guys in both formats. Darren Lagi, Nalaga, Dros Sisi, FRD only.
00:27:26
Speaker
for the Rebels. ULSA and Tupo, yes, go for them in Superbrew. Go for the front row in FRD. Kemeny, Lawrence, Kata Gordon, Dalgunu, Lancaster, Kellaway, Mason Gordon.
00:27:42
Speaker
and FRD. And FRD, Mason Gordon is a fly half also. So you're looking at back three points there because he's playing for that. So you don't get a T, but he's coming off a pretty good performance. They don't have another kicker on this strong, I guess, if they needed it.
00:28:03
Speaker
Saying if Carter's heard that could be well Carter's plans. No, no Carter's playing fly half He's right. But I'm what I'm saying is if he gets hurt. Oh, yeah, I'm not wishing that upon him whatsoever But I'm saying that is a possibility But straws in the scene, so maybe not. Yeah anyway
00:28:21
Speaker
Hurricane Tyler's back home they go for the canes front row is definitely in play especially a soft hole I move it back man that name excited me so much to see him again Numi a yes as well Glad James Tucker's back, but don't want him Flanders and FRD only three Dewey same thing you'll say in both formats TJ both formats Cameron both formats Ryasi in both formats
00:28:49
Speaker
Barrett Proctor Morby love all in both formats Islanders I do like Henry Bell a little bit better than they but thing else so Maybe you can play their front row. I don't know if that's gonna work well though Harmon and Niko Broughton in freddy only For fighting freddy only definitely back three and
00:29:14
Speaker
did not really come out the way I wanted it to. So it's, it's the Jonah and the recce show, probably in both formats, although he's probably going to be the low end and super brew. Um, definitely an FRD though. Sam Gilbert, FRD only. And then I'll say Connor garden bash up an FRD only, but that's the most I would venture into. If you're going through one of the other guys, Godspeed, you, you, you might be fucked. Just saying.
00:29:43
Speaker
And then last but not least, Blues versus Chefs. Blues are playing for potential one seed. Chiefs are locked in at four. They cannot go up. They cannot go down. So. But they don't want to piss in someone's Cheerios, I would bet. Right. But at the same time, I kind of like what they're doing in that they're certainly resting their back line a little bit with Leonard Brown getting the week off and Tupaya is coming off the bench.
00:30:13
Speaker
They're kind of getting a look at the Chiefs seeing how they line up, see what they do, in case somehow they meet up in the postseason. Although the Chiefs at the four-seat, they might win their first match and then there you go.
00:30:29
Speaker
Um, so for the blues, their front row. Yes. Uh, Riccatelli and Tawangafasi give them a look. Um, Tui Palatu is a big yes in either format. Um, Satutu, Papali, Yawani in that order. And I'd go with Yawani and FRD only. Um, Funaki, Plummer, AJ Lamb, FRD only. Um.
00:30:51
Speaker
Rico, actually it's trending towards FRD only these days, but Caleb Clark, Talaya, Parafetta, yeah, go for them in both. On the Chiefs end, front row, the Locks in FRD, Satiti in FRD, because again, I'm not sure, this Blues team's pretty fucking good, and I wouldn't trust Satiti and Super Brew with this matchup.
00:31:18
Speaker
Radhima, Mackenzie, and the back three in both. Poi Hippie is a stretch in FRD. Rona is more viable, but still, I'm not really seeing it as a good play in either.
00:31:35
Speaker
I would hope you're not playing those guys. But then again, there's a lot of guys who are starting this week that I would hope you're not playing. Yeah. Like the guys I will play as your second center could be worse. Right. And for me. Exactly. Yeah. Well, hippie, if you got him, good luck. Again, you might be screwed. Yeah. Force and Brumby's round us off. Man, the force are scare are like a terrifying team. Jeremy Williams.
00:32:01
Speaker
share because he's a lock playing six right now. Okay. Go for it. Um, interested to see how Maxbury does as a 10, but I don't know if I want to trust it. Kunzel may be an FRD, um, mostly been good in that format and then Beal and FRD only. That's about, I would, I would go for that for the Brumby's front rows and play Billy Pollard. Yes. Um, frost. Yep. Hooper in.
00:32:32
Speaker
Uh, Subaru only cause you're locked there, but he's actually, it was forward. He's always forward in, um, effort. You know, I don't love them there. So play that, um, Scott and F R D only in a pinch. If you need them, Valentini. Yes. Uh, long again.
00:32:47
Speaker
Probably FRD only, but nah, don't love it. Little CO. Yep. Tool to a ikitao. And right in your head, probably FRD only fodder for now. I don't think he'll find the line because of the matchup. So good enough. Sometimes it's all you can ask for. Oh, OT dubs. Um, start of the week.
00:33:15
Speaker
I shouldn't have to really explain this too much.
Conclusion and Listener Engagement
00:33:19
Speaker
I like the matchup, don't care that it's away. Again, playing for something for a potential first place. So I'm going to go with Tom Wright of the Brubbies. Nice. Dude pick. Yeah, my guy's also away and been on fire since he's come in and I'm going to take the junkyard dog. Tim Ryan is my star of the week this week.
00:33:40
Speaker
One of us did. I thought about that, but then I'm... No. So I'm glad you did. So we're not copying each other's work. There we go. Sit. Sit of the week. I like the player. I know you like the player too. Not exactly thrilled. The matchup is not...
00:34:02
Speaker
terrible. Well, and that's not great. Um, and there's just nothing to play for. So I just would not trust my team to Jake Gordon this week. Yep. Sorry, Jake. Um, so I think the jury still on this guy, but he's owned by enough people that make me want to like really put a stamp on him. Uh, I don't know what the hell
00:34:28
Speaker
cast space to Zana was going to find this week, but college design was going to be my say the week from the forest. There you go. Poor matchup and not sure the team is going to get them. So on to the pick of them, the picking of them, the mighty pick of them, picking of your nose. Oh wait, no, not that. All right. Uh, prime semi-final.
00:34:53
Speaker
Friday night, Northampton and Sarries. Saints. Yep, same. With my head, Saints, with my heart, obviously Sarries. I hope so, but it's one of those like, look, if they pull it off, excellent, but. Yeah, my expectations alone going into this one. Yeah. Bath sale, Saturday.
00:35:13
Speaker
Say, oh, I'm sorry, Beth. Say no, you did not. No, I did not. Liar. You liar. Shut up. I don't believe you. I don't believe you. Good. I didn't. Super right. Crusader's Moana. Crusaders. Yeah. Yeah. Taz Reds. Reds. Yeah, same. Druo Rebels. Druo. Yep. Hurricane Tylinders.
00:35:44
Speaker
Cause they're in Fiji and rebels have like, I didn't have nothing to play for. That's a tough place to play. Um, I got speed. I got the year canes. We did that one. Picked them hopefully. And I know that I'm thinking maybe they can better the result of the blues. We'll see. So blues chiefs. I got the blues, although it's going to be close so I could see the canes could get the bonus point. I don't know that blues will. Yeah. That's, that's all. That's all it's going to take. And I'll be happy with that.
00:36:12
