jarrod_dyke: Hey friends, it's the fancy Ruby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm Benton Glauser.
jarrod_dyke: It's fancy corner time, the first fancy corner of the scene. Of course, that means we're gonna look back at Superbrew on the prem, prem on the Superbrew.
jarrod_dyke: Either or, whatever whatever one it is. One of those, one of those. um We do have a, we have a slight shift in the JP Yanks League this year. Benz in D2, so he's in charge of D2 this year.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's more of diversification.
jarrod_dyke: What are you, South Shore Anchors? Jesus Christ, what's wrong with you?
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: We're making sure that there's, there's enough of the fantasy rugby yanks to go around in our, look, you know, we, we, we were, we were like isolating ourselves in, in D one.
jarrod_dyke: but Yeah, because we're a fucking sod after fucking.
Grumpy Old Prop: And now we're making sure that, you know, we're, we're, we're involved in, invested in, in both divisions was tactical. Had nothing, nothing to do with me eating a bunch of ass last year.
jarrod_dyke: that
jarrod_dyke: Hey, listen, welcome welcome to welcome to Alex a long, a long time listener, a long time supporter.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: So welcome to Alex, the division one as well. Certainly worth noting that. All right. um So and then, yeah, everything pretty much gonna be the same this year.
jarrod_dyke: We had, I had ambitions on getting involved in that dream 15, but I don't know how to and they haven't wrote back to us. So
Grumpy Old Prop: I think I also kind of didn't get back to them. I think I fucked that up a little bit too. So sorry guys.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, I mean, still, whatever.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. So I'm, I'm a little overloaded as it is.
jarrod_dyke: Whatever. Honestly, like, someone asked you a question, you might want to answer it.
Grumpy Old Prop: So yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Just saying, just saying. ah Anyway, so if you don't know, you have, and so in Superboro, you have 100 million pound cap, and you got to fill out a squad with, we have 20?
jarrod_dyke: or 2323 and say, wait a minute.
Grumpy Old Prop: 23,
jarrod_dyke: I know that's not the right number.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah.
jarrod_dyke: I'm losing my mind. Losing my mind. Anyway, it doesn't matter. That's, that's a known quality. That's not news. Um, you have a team load of four each. So you gotta be very careful about who you're picking from those teams, certain teams.
jarrod_dyke: See, St. Seabath, Queens, Bristol teams that like to like to run the ball and like to put the, put the, put the meters in and put the tries down. And then you got to find the diamonds in the rough and, you know, shitty teams like Newcastle, which there weren't many last year or Gloucester. um Even, you know, even sale, Exeter, Luster, they all had their, their bright points. You know, at Fayette Wabos, it was the first one that comes to mind for that. um So with that, we're going to just kind of ramble through our, our positions here and see what we have for
jarrod_dyke: you know, possibilities of, you know, good, bad and different.
jarrod_dyke: It is so the most expensive prop props. There is, there's a bunch of them.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Both answer props are Genji due to I was, who was definitely one of the best ones to have.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Um, Joe Marler with one, but Bono Davidson TT and man who has the potential to earn that 3 million pound mark.
Grumpy Old Prop: Well, o I didn't think so, you know, but New Year, I mean, now he doesn't have, you know, Waller's to compete with, although they only they didn't play his position, right?
jarrod_dyke: But did he last year? I didn't think so, but, uh, what do I know?
jarrod_dyke: No, he doesn't.
Grumpy Old Prop: um So.
jarrod_dyke: Um, yeah, no, one of them, I thought one of them played loose head at the least, if not both of them.
Grumpy Old Prop: I thought they both played loose head.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. And I think that's what a Yogan is.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: I don't think he's a tight head.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right. Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: I think, I think Davis is the tight head here.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
jarrod_dyke: So yeah. Anyway.
Grumpy Old Prop: With Detroit, you run into team limits for Bath.
jarrod_dyke: Yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: That's the that's the the.
jarrod_dyke: Yes. Same with Davidson and a Bono, a Yogan.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. So that that's the the scaring off point there.
Grumpy Old Prop: Genj is might be worth it.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. I'm unlike every other decent prop is 2 million. And then there's a, is probably going to be some good ones that are a million.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: We don't know which ones those are right now, but there's probably going to be some good ones that are a million.
Grumpy Old Prop: Nope.
jarrod_dyke: So, you know, keep an eye out. We've talked about target par.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: You could probably say that he would be one to maybe come out.
Grumpy Old Prop: In Tom West, maybe, at the mill oh no, but again, North, Northampton.
jarrod_dyke: Um, yeah, that being, that being the one that scares me off of him too.
Grumpy Old Prop: So you're you're kind of.
jarrod_dyke: Um, I think there's a million. That's a possibility.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Maybe, maybe not. We'll see. Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: but I mean, I'd still think of Balmain there potentially, even though he's two. um Because he but that's a reminder, Saracens score their points mainly out of the pack, or at least they have traditionally, who knows if that'll change.
Grumpy Old Prop: um So it's not like some of these other clubs where
jarrod_dyke: Mm hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: You know, if you signed to toy, now you're, you're not going to have one of the back, back three or, um, or Finn or Lawrence. So like, you know, but now you can, you know, you can go with, uh, um, Wow. Where was I sorry with a Balmain get some decent points for him or from him. And you're not missing out on Ellie daily.
jarrod_dyke: Right. Yeah, right. Bar barring the days he had the boot, which we didn't know he had the boot last year until we found out that Ferrell tore a fucking muscle in his leg.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: But you know, different story for a different day, I suppose. so ah Let's roll over to the two shirt. I mean, I think the both got both guys that are at the top are there deservedly.
jarrod_dyke: No. Thacker and Langdon, I would pick either one of them. I'd probably take Thacker right now, only because I don't want to burn a Saint spot at Langdon. Maybe I do.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah maybe.
jarrod_dyke: I don't know. Maybe you do. um You know, right down below them are Dan, Montosia, Jinx, and Dunn. And really, I don't have a problem with any of them.
jarrod_dyke: Even Dunn was quality for the most part, just you didn't want to pick Dunn that often because the Bath players that were available to you otherwise were more worth it.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah And Theo Dan was lightened up from the bench sometimes too So he was sometimes worth a start even if he was a sub so consider that as well as a you know um but he's He's definitely worth that for I'm kind of surprised he's out of five
jarrod_dyke: But
jarrod_dyke: Right Yeah, yeah, yeah well e me might you might earn that five next year we'll see one of those top marks Which
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm. I Think so next year once once it wins it's like he takes like fully over for George I think that's the only thing holding him back.
jarrod_dyke: you probably will Yeah The three million tier
Grumpy Old Prop: That's the kind of split in time
jarrod_dyke: I'm not into any either either the either of the Queens guys. Definitely not Jack Yandall. I don't understand how Yandall's more than Frost, that doesn't make sense to me. Auguray's a good bargain when Thacker's not in, obviously.
jarrod_dyke: Beaumire was the only bright spot really into Newcastle last year, but he wasn't even really worth playing, so that's kinda, maybe better change this year, I hope.
Grumpy Old Prop: Uh, what? No.
jarrod_dyke: um You and I are both a big pair of George McWiggin fans, and
jarrod_dyke: LCD is a guy, okay, move or not. You didn't, like, let's be fair, I don't think you did much last year, if I remember right, so.
Grumpy Old Prop: No, I'd actually take Taylor over him, which we I know I'm moving on to the twos, but still like that's yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, blessability.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, yeah, yeah. um Anyway, so those, that's what and then, yeah, ah other end of the scoreboard here, like, Frost and Singleton stand out to me,
jarrod_dyke: Cape on, on, ah on a day.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm.
jarrod_dyke: We talked about Charlie, Claire, the other, and the other part about, you know, he could have a big, a big role to play.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm Yeah Well, he's not coaching Dallas anymore Well, well yeah, but that's that's rumors so I should let's keep that under our hat for now
jarrod_dyke: Um, Rob Weber, there's in this and he's coach. He was coaching Dallas. Wasn't he? I think they need to take him out of there. Just throw that one out there. Just good.
jarrod_dyke: So I've heard.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Anyway, let's go to the engine room. Um, four guys at four million.
jarrod_dyke: And honestly, I love him. And I'm not sure he was worth the 4 million last year, Maro Atoge.
Grumpy Old Prop: No.
jarrod_dyke: You know, yeah like Batley.
Grumpy Old Prop: the huh He scored pretty well, but I may have still been the like, I think it was I did play a lot.
jarrod_dyke: Yes. Alex Coles when he was in. Yes. Dio McFarland. Yep. I don't, Maro's there on reputation alone, if we're honest.
Grumpy Old Prop: i I can't remember. There was at one point he was still the highest scoring lock. So um but I think that kind of.
jarrod_dyke: Maybe.
Grumpy Old Prop: That went down over time, if I'm not mistaken, so.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Um, yeah they have George Martin lists as a, as a lock and he may play a little bit of six this year.
Grumpy Old Prop: like That's that can be a bit of a cheat code.
jarrod_dyke: So I'm, I'm, I'm into that. That chess. Um, yes. Not Daffy pass him pass on him.
jarrod_dyke: Not yields. I love Nikki, but no. He was a walking card waiting to happen to emma.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Now he's in the second row. So he's he's in there And i'm in the back row last year didn't and you still was scoring something like hell So that's a that's a guy to throw in there Freddy I love freddie freddie clark, um lamb i'm, not sure hunter hell's gonna be worth anything this year baloney, maybe I don't know.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: Right. So he, he might be a good, yeah, he's got to look at, um, yeah,
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah I want to see it first.
jarrod_dyke: I want to see what I could i'm sure we could ask some of our urc friends how how we scored in um for lenster and urc
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, but either way coming over, like who knows, you know, if he's going to be a locked in starter, like how's that going to work? So it might be a wait, wait and see on, on, on Maloney, but at the same time, it's a lot of 3 million guys.
jarrod_dyke: Uh, yeah, I don't know. Yep. My own of a new, uh, there is, there's a good, there's a good list.
Grumpy Old Prop: So it's, it should be an easy so swap in. Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Like Lamb and Hammond were kind of the same last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Um, and I mean that in the best way possible. Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: Wells is such a, it's a tease. I, maybe he's a guy to look at just in case, keep an eye on him.
jarrod_dyke: but no, yep. Yep. And then, yeah, my owner of a new, I would love it if he wasn't on a fucking saint's team that I only get to pick four of.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: So maybe, maybe not.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: well yeah Leaning, maybe not on that one. I will say that. Um, the back row, which is always ah one of the biggest, like, you know, you, you can spend a shit ton there or you can go cheap and still probably do okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, there's like, yes.
jarrod_dyke: Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: Especially with guns and guns, it was the most expensive player in the back row, but he's not playing right away, so.
jarrod_dyke: um it's usually good.
jarrod_dyke: No, although, you know, game by game, he was certainly one of the most consistent performers in fantasy.
Grumpy Old Prop: Not an option.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yes, he was. Yes, he was. He's he's earned that.
jarrod_dyke: So I had him for the majority of my year.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, he's he's earned that nine mil. Just damn, that's tough.
jarrod_dyke: Mm hmm. Yep. A very pissed off Zach Mercer in there.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: um Turning himself up to six. Yikes.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: We'll see how that works out.
Grumpy Old Prop: I like.
jarrod_dyke: Pearson truck that this is where the Northampton can probably
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: forward can probably come in this back row, especially with, yeah, one of those two guys, even, oh, Graham's at six as well.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right. One of those two.
jarrod_dyke: Damn it. I was, they've got five. That's, I liked that, but it's six. I don't love it. um We'll see what Bill Motta is.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Tom Curry does not belong in there.
Grumpy Old Prop: No.
jarrod_dyke: Get out of here. Go, go, go away. Just go away. I'm not sure Underhill is worth five, but maybe I guess, is that the lowest price?
Grumpy Old Prop: Maybe. No.
jarrod_dyke: Nope, it's not. He should be definitely in that four to 3 million range because
Grumpy Old Prop: Yes.
jarrod_dyke: you Didn't do much ted held it more than him, in my opinion.
Grumpy Old Prop: right.
jarrod_dyke: Uh, huh.
Grumpy Old Prop: And he's in five too. So I there's one in the five that I really like.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: um um I'm unsure if I want to mention actually, no, I'm going to mention anyway, I think it's my start of the week. ah um Sorry, spoilers. But but but Tom Willis is the the basically locked in eight for for Saracens.
jarrod_dyke: Hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: um That's a big
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. Unless Earl's playing eight, which is a possibility.
Grumpy Old Prop: Which is a possibility, yeah that's the thing, they're gonna get caught up in that Earl, Gonzo, um Willis, and Oniyama, Christie. Hey, I got it right the first time. um Right, um he's added a name, Oniyama.
jarrod_dyke: artist formerly known as Andy Christie.
Grumpy Old Prop: um
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: and They're gonna rotate a bunch, but i I still think Willis is gonna be one of the guys who, he's gonna get a lot of playing time, and man, all he does is score big tries, so.
jarrod_dyke: Yup. Start and get into the bargains. Maybe we talked about the daprias and maybe they They come good this year. Again, if they do, then yeah, four million is a great place for him to be.
Grumpy Old Prop: I miss them being lock eligible in TRM.
jarrod_dyke: um
jarrod_dyke: Right. Oh, man. Oh, the days. Oh, the days. If Will Evans stays healthy, he'll he'll be good. Fissile is up to four million now.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: which is He's still a bit of a cheat code at four, though.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
jarrod_dyke: So um not about it. not Not the worst thing there. um
jarrod_dyke: Jack Kenning him another one that needs to stay healthy with three million is a nice nice ad if Bailey's gets playing time at three million, that's good too.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: I like that um People are talking a lot about this pollock kid.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: We'll see how that goes um Again been kind of same same thing.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mhm.
jarrod_dyke: We'll see if they you know They find and then I I mentioned him on the other pod the Eliana kid You know if he steps forward for our last start then You could see a real good bargain and advance you with him at only 2 million.
jarrod_dyke: So there's a ton of potential that could really, you know, help shape your squad a little bit better, you know, turn into, you know, rich ranks or riches as it were, but we'll see.
jarrod_dyke: Uh, the nine shirts going to the back line. I mean, yes to the guys that play that are 5 million.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, all three of them, I'd take them.
jarrod_dyke: They all make sense. yeah They all make sense. Yes. ka I mean, karrot Karen, Karen JVP at four kind of makes sense.
Grumpy Old Prop: And possibly the four, that sucks. Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: um Ben sale. Yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: I don't know enough about Thomas Williams to say yes or no.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: I'll put that out there. I think Will Porter's gonna play more than care though. He was playing last year more. So if you're looking for who's the starter, he's the cheaper option and he's probably any any cheaper.
Grumpy Old Prop: Consider it. Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: he's He's probably gonna play more.
jarrod_dyke: so Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: I think you're right about that.
jarrod_dyke: And so just checking that out there. They have Charlie Bracken listed two million here.
Grumpy Old Prop: Might be someone to keep an eye on.
jarrod_dyke: They think they, they, maybe they know something we don't, but yeah. and granted There's a lot of two million.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: I mean, I guess that's everyone. Nevermind. Okay. Foot in mouth Jared. Shut up. You idiot. Um,
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. I do. I do like that. and That nine room though. Now for the Saracens, even with the, the temporary additional really.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mhm. Mhm.
jarrod_dyke: Um, yeah. And, and those that are wondering, like Tom James was a great plug and play when Mitchell was away or hurt or whatever. So don't be afraid to switch him.
jarrod_dyke: And should you find their desire to just wouldn't hang onto him as your backup, hoping to just trade them out because that's two saints players right there.
Grumpy Old Prop: Great. Yeah, that's tough.
jarrod_dyke: that one, one of which is not playing in your starting lineup. Most weeks you're going to want that. So just keep out of mind.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right Yeah Yep, I mean there's nothing there's nothing I don't think there's anything more to be said there they they're definitely top top tier Pollard I think might be a well, especially now he won't be around just yet um for Yeah, it's
jarrod_dyke: All right. To the fellas wearing the 10 shirts and yep. Kind of an agreement with the guys that are at the top here, Finn Smith and Smith.
jarrod_dyke: No. Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: But still, like if we're looking at the next tier down, I think that's it. I think those two guys are it.
Grumpy Old Prop: I don't know. I think I'd rather have Burke and McGinty.
jarrod_dyke: with
Grumpy Old Prop: I like them better at eight than either Pollard and Ford at nine.
jarrod_dyke: i i do I do too, but I think in terms of what you're thinking about for the game and the history and da -da -da, I think it it makes sense for why they priced them there.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. Right. It does. It does.
jarrod_dyke: It doesn't mean I'm going to pick them.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: I think Skinner is way too expensive for a guy that doesn't usually kick and does a terrible job of that job at it when he does, by the way.
Grumpy Old Prop: i
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm. Yeah, they were listening to us though because I think all last year we were saying I would take Brett Connell as my backup 10 but only it's like 6 mil and boom there he is 6 mil Although Hayden would it for you know, if they exit or get smart which okay, so they won't so never mind um I
jarrod_dyke: Yep. There he is. ah but um So you're asking for a lot right there, buddy.
jarrod_dyke: that's That's the equivalent of moving heaven and earth. Depending on health and how how good he goes how good he goes to start the year, ants come at six, could be in steel though.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm not against saris, but but after that give them a look Yeah Although she'll cock to start the year might be oh, oh no, that's right Yeah, like either one of those to like check out, you know who who ends up starting
jarrod_dyke: Throwing that out there. Yeah, we'll see. Volo Volo, I don't know, like an unknown quantity to say the least.
jarrod_dyke: And then it's, and then
jarrod_dyke: at 10 should be interesting too.
jarrod_dyke: Right. Yep. Um, knock on wood that he, I'm not wishing that he does, but should dance can get hurt. It'd be interesting to see who they put it 10, whether it's Barton, whether it's Atkinson, please not. Santi Carrera said, please God, even Argentina have figured that out. Don't start him that often. They're like,
jarrod_dyke: please, please, please wish sugar on top.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
jarrod_dyke: And then, you know, we'll see what Louie Johnson turns into.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: We know Fergus Burke's probably the, the nailed on guy, but yeah, 3 million, you know, maybe he gets an occasional start.
Grumpy Old Prop: but Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Like, all right, it could be fun. I would wager he gets one against his old friends back at the stone X.
Grumpy Old Prop: Likely, yeah.
jarrod_dyke: I would, I think he'll be in that team minimum, but I think he gets the 10 shirt for that game, depending on how things are going. Uh, over to the midfield. I, you have to pick Slade as a, as a 10 as a kicker. That's the, and that's the problem. Like there aren't that many guys wearing 10 shirts in this league that are going to put up points worthy of not kicking. Now, if show, like showcock could play 15 one, one day.
jarrod_dyke: maybe so if Lester give the ball some air and he gets space. All right, that could be viable.
Grumpy Old Prop: Maybe they did that a couple times last year.
jarrod_dyke: I don't know if that's gonna happen.
Grumpy Old Prop: I don't think it really worked Hydra yeah
jarrod_dyke: I like it to do. But just saying and it's viable. So that itself is a problem. So if that's your strategy, please let me know how the hell you got around the 10 shirt.
jarrod_dyke: know
Grumpy Old Prop: Still either way, Slade's not around for the first, like whoever who knows how long anyway.
jarrod_dyke: um But anyway,
Grumpy Old Prop: So he's not an ah he's not really an option. um Don't pick him. um Or if you do, you'll see once they send out the team sheets ah that you'll need to drop him and add someone else.
jarrod_dyke: yeah
jarrod_dyke: Yeah Yeah Lawrence is really the only one worth 7 million.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right. And he's worth it.
jarrod_dyke: and I don't know Bobby dupes did a lot but Yeah, I'm just saying that Ben redsberg is the only 6 million Yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: And he's worth it.
Grumpy Old Prop: It is, but he may also be worth it. They think I would say you you need one of those two too, too. I'm having both of them will be tough.
jarrod_dyke: um We won't know what night Clavu is really Sinti could be playing on the wing a bit this year.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm. Right.
jarrod_dyke: So that could be a, you know, a cheat.
Grumpy Old Prop: I could be a little cheat code.
jarrod_dyke: Um, I'll be interested to see how pre -zay goes this year.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: We'll ask him as a midfielder and he's probably playing in the back three. That could be interesting.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, but at five minutes, that's a hefty.
jarrod_dyke: That's not that bad considering that the cheapest ones are two and they're nobody's maybe we'll see.
Grumpy Old Prop: Although he's probably going to play center. Look at the, I mean, if you consider their, their, the rest of their back three, um, unless he's a fullback, I don't know.
jarrod_dyke: I mean, he, I saw him more in back three than I've seen him at 13 partially, but that doesn't mean that that's accurate.
Grumpy Old Prop: That's fair.
jarrod_dyke: I'm just saying that that's what it looks like. Um, Northmore better than Joseph only because Northmore is usually more healthy.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: And I like, well, and I like, well, Joseph don't get me wrong, but just, yep. Yeah. James Williams is another one that needs to have the tea. Yeah. Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: There's two cheat codes that I have that are lower, um that are that in the three million range.
jarrod_dyke: I just, I don't, okay. Go ahead.
jarrod_dyke: Okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, one we talked about in the other pod, Lennox and Yanwu. He's at three for Quinn's.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Could be a drop in for, for Andre who wasn't all that great last year.
jarrod_dyke: Yep. Okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: Anyway. Um, but Lennox we've seen play extremely well in the past. So, um, maybe they're, they've they've been, you know, sending him to bake a little bit more. Um, and then Ollie Hartley for Saracens at 3 million.
jarrod_dyke: When he played, he was great last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: And he could be there 12 this year.
jarrod_dyke: Agreed.
Grumpy Old Prop: And.
jarrod_dyke: Find out soon, I suppose.
Grumpy Old Prop: and And he could play extremely well. So um just someone to keep an eye on.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
jarrod_dyke: And then the but guys that turn it on, it's going to be interesting to see how you we squeeze some of these guys in like slates, in their toy.
Grumpy Old Prop: I know.
jarrod_dyke: Yep. Freeman. I'm actually surprised Freeman's is is only nine out 10. Um, they got Fay Woboso. His price got jacked up.
Grumpy Old Prop: You did.
jarrod_dyke: Greens got jacked up. Like they were paying attention to this one.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: I would say for the most part, at least. Uh, so it's going to require some clever things.
Grumpy Old Prop: Finaglement. Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Yep. East Grove will be interesting. It's a million along with Caden. I assume Caden really stays healthy. ah It'll be interesting to see what he does.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
jarrod_dyke: Um, Hodge, hopefully he's healthy this year. And that'll be a nice you know snag every once in a while. Nick David, we talked about he's probably going to be. starting in the back three for Quinn's more often than not.
jarrod_dyke: So that's not a bad way to go. um
Grumpy Old Prop: The gland bill at five is is not a bad use of your of your of your cash money.
jarrod_dyke: Right. Yep.
jarrod_dyke: Cash money should be.
Grumpy Old Prop: Tom White at fours is a this potential steal.
jarrod_dyke: That's a good one. Yeah. know When he was in, he was in.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: When he was in, he was good. So we'll see. and We talked about the red child kid. Maybe he comes becomes a fantasy. relevant person from Newcastle, which they didn't have many of those last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: Nope.
jarrod_dyke: So we'll, we'll see. Um, there's probably someone in this four to 3 million range. That's going to just like put their hand up, not unlike Manny Faye.
jarrod_dyke: We've also did last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: It's just going to be a matter of who, who will do it. Anywho, uh, starter set.
Grumpy Old Prop: Starter sit. and And I'm going first with what Bristol, Newcastle.
jarrod_dyke: Let's do it.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, Newcastle, Bristol. Yeah, sorry.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. um So we don't know the team sheets. We don't really know what the, how the, the coaches are looking.
jarrod_dyke: Mm -hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, so I'm going to go very vague here. Um, new Newcastle just don't, don't touch them for now.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: You know, maybe they're, they don't have a look at some guys, but you know, kind of, kind of, as I said, not a bad backup 10.
jarrod_dyke: Let him cook. Let him cook for a bit.
Grumpy Old Prop: He'll get some points um and he's cheap.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: So that's a good way to, you know, and he'll play a lot unless they really like this other kid that they let Louis Johnson go for, which I kind of doubt. um On the Bristol side, you know, Thacker, as we said, Batley, AJ, hopefully he's healthy and kicking better than he did for the US.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, if a toy is somebody you got to um look at and then keep an eye on mail -ins, but he's kind of, I think he's pretty, but then we just talk about, he's pretty expensive.
jarrod_dyke: Hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: So yeah, he's at seven and that's not too expensive, but right.
jarrod_dyke: Hmm.
jarrod_dyke: No, I mean, he's not 10, but it's still not, it's not five either.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right. Um, I'd almost rather have a toy at 10 than, than him at seven though. Um, although pending, who knows?
jarrod_dyke: Yep. Sometimes. Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Cause mail -ins has been fantastic in the past.
jarrod_dyke: Yep. Agreed. Uh, other Friday game is the rematch. Obviously Beth and saints for bath. I mean, we know the client, the known quantities that we know. Um, just want to Bono.
jarrod_dyke: Should you want to play them? you Then you might, you pick them. You better start them guys. Um, Alfie and Hill. Yep. Uh, either the halfback Spencer and Finn midfield, we know it's going to probably Lauren.
jarrod_dyke: So red path, Lawrence and or red path. So that's a go. And then coca and mirror.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm
jarrod_dyke: Yes. To start the year and probably do landfill. Yes. To start the year, but you know, we'll see.
Grumpy Old Prop: hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Um, I'd say the no sits are probably yours and under Hill. A lot of people are trying to yield as I get it, but at the same time I don't.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh.
jarrod_dyke: um For Northampton, Langdon was on my team last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: if you went if you Again, if you if you chuck that much money into that, you're playing him. Whoever your backup is, he better be goddamn good. Otherwise you're playing him. Kohl's, yes. We'll see if this pilot kid's good.
jarrod_dyke: I mean, if he gets a start, why not? you know I want to be, um but more likely you're going to see truck and Pearson in which case, yes, play them.
Grumpy Old Prop: Uh huh.
jarrod_dyke: um Mitchell and Finn, again, the nines and the tens yet roll them out there. You've, you've checked the money into them. You might as well do it. Uh, dings for banks, slates, Freeman. Yes.
jarrod_dyke: I, I, I really don't know if there's a sit in there, honestly.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah No, no, there really isn't.
jarrod_dyke: Uh, most of the, most of that team's worth it to him if you've checked the money into him. So I might as well play him.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right. Off to, um, Exeter hosting Lester.
jarrod_dyke: Your favorite match of the.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um.
Grumpy Old Prop: Like Exeter can you know they know there's change, but they're still pretty much a known quantity um You kind of look towards you know that the Tuimas some of their thou shoot who was the um You know the you're gonna want to try to cap stick but but don't just
Grumpy Old Prop: Don't, um, fiss allow. I get, yeah, he's a little bit more expensive, but at the same time, um, he's kind of still a cheaper option. It might, might be worth it to give him a, give him a shot, but maybe just on the bench still until you see what what he's given you. know But that you're really there. They're, they're value, I think is more towards the back three. Like Feio Oboso is super expensive, but, um,
Grumpy Old Prop: You know, I'm, I'm looking at a Hodge at six. He got hurt last year and I think that's the only reason that he, and I think he still scored really well when, once he came back when he's healthy, he scores well.
jarrod_dyke: When he was healthy, yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: So at six, I think that's a steal. And, and I would, um, I would highly recommend him, uh, for Lester. I it's almost kind of like it's it's not unlike Newcastle in that it's more of a wait and see. I want to see who they they. Who they start, but but George Martin um and.
Grumpy Old Prop: ah um His lock partner Chasm could be quite a duo, so and and you're not going to I don't think you're going to look at too many of their backs. So, you know, three million, three million, that's kind of a fair deal. I may even go both of them.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, as a recommendation, I don't know so much about their, their front row. I'm not, you know, when Montoya comes back, I'm told you, it comes back.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: You have a different, you know, different line of thinking there. Other than that, they don't really, they don't have much. I'd really want it to, at the loose forward, um, point van port fleet last year was, was a kind of a cheat code when he came back, but now he's one of the more expensive ones.
Grumpy Old Prop: So it kind of makes it rough. ah They're just a mixed bag and you just don't know how much they're going to score, especially on the road. I just would kind of leave them alone. um And, you know, if they score, then it's a missed opportunity for you.
Grumpy Old Prop: Then you kind of just take it. But um that's just such a big if that it's it's worth.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, take it on the chin.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's not worth the risk.
jarrod_dyke: Yep. We got the Glostas and the sour seasons. So for the fellows wearing cherry and white, um guy that wasn't very healthy last year.
jarrod_dyke: And I don't know if he's going to be any healthier this year. Val, if healthy, maybe, uh, McWigs.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm.
jarrod_dyke: Yes. That's a, ah and I like him as a hooker and a guy that you're not going to worry about wasting too many, um, team limit players on for the loss or so.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. That's a good one to go with. Same thing Mercer. Yup. Um, talked about Freddie as well in that, in that forward pack. Um,
jarrod_dyke: I'm okay with asking him if you've bought, if you've put him in, there if you've deposited the cash into him, like it's not a terrible play. It's not an expensive play. You know, if you're going for a kind of those middle T a couple more middle tiered guys, as opposed to one really expensive and one fairly cheap guy, then, all right, this is, yeah, he's at home.
jarrod_dyke: He gets to make his debut there. It makes life feel a little easier for him.
Grumpy Old Prop: uh
jarrod_dyke: And then we talked about Christian Wade. Yep. He's probably gonna be, he's probably gonna be the one guy that
Grumpy Old Prop: -huh
jarrod_dyke: can win his matchup if he gets a ball in hand. So, might be a big F though, we'll see.
Grumpy Old Prop: uh -huh
jarrod_dyke: A lot of people still like Lewis, although I don't pass, sit.
Grumpy Old Prop: uh -huh
jarrod_dyke: um Saris, Theodan, or Jinx, yes. Captain Maro Itosia, I'm not telling you the captain, and I'm just calling him calling him captain as it's rightly so.
Grumpy Old Prop: uh -huh who
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, play him. I know it's, I know he's one of the more expensive ones. Um, deal max. Same thing. Yep. Earl Willis. Yes. Um, not convinced daily is going to be useful this game. So pass on him.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, and then to wrap it up on Sunday sale hosting Quinn's So, we you know, we we both agree that we think sales gonna get the win. I still think Quinn's get the fantasy points in this one um Although it'll be it'll be tight. That's you're not gonna Get the points you'd you'd really want so Marcus might be but you know, we have your 10 million dollar or pound whatever unit really doesn't really matter your 10 unit player at fly half ah maybe steer away from Marcus for this And forward on the other side that would you know stay away from the expense of fly halves in this match
jarrod_dyke: Mm hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: um
Grumpy Old Prop: Really, for for for sale, look for the duprizes that have been the forwards. Dan, I think over Jean -Luc, in my opinion, Bevin Rod, as you said, always solid.
Grumpy Old Prop: He'll play a lot when he's when he's available. I guess he's not going to be in the Six Nations squad, which he's rightfully earned. But until then, ride him because sale certainly will.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: And he just scores. But like, I can never figure out where the points are coming from. Well, like like you don't see them while you're watching it's not like some of these other players.
jarrod_dyke: But does.
Grumpy Old Prop: You're like, damn, that's a great play. And I'm getting I'm going to rake for that. It's just by the end of the match.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: You're like, holy shit. Ben Rod has like 15 points. Where the hell did those come from?
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, absolutely.
Grumpy Old Prop: It happens. um
Grumpy Old Prop: But yeah I'd kind of hold off on their their back three in this case um sales. That is because I don't know how they're going to fare against against because I don't know the style of play they're going to go with.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: um
Grumpy Old Prop: Quins, I don't know, we pretty much know. Quins, like I said, kind of shy away from Marcus.
jarrod_dyke: yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: Dom Brant's a good call. um odd that Shit, I almost said good. Cunningham South, wrong, wrong hyphenated name.
jarrod_dyke: There you go.
Grumpy Old Prop: Chandler Cunningham South is, I really like him.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: And I think that Six is ah is a good price point for him. So I'm i'm buying on on that.
Grumpy Old Prop: I really, if Levis can turn it around, I think, well, he's at two, I think he's are super cheap. Um, could be, could be good value, but, but there's a reason that they've also moved the captaincy away from Levis to Dom Brant.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, potential. Yep.
jarrod_dyke: As well, yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, like you said, Porter might be a good option, um, cause he could be playing. And as I said, Anyan Wu is, um, I, um, I'm kind of buying on him because, uh, I like that price point and I, I like his, his talent level.
Grumpy Old Prop: And then that back three. Green is almost a must have, because you don't have to worry about him not playing, because the Six Nations, he's always going to be available.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
jarrod_dyke: Love
Grumpy Old Prop: So he's certainly worth the investment.
jarrod_dyke: availability.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Alright, O2Dubs, we're out of here.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right.
jarrod_dyke: um So, I went low hanging through on this one. ah Most people are gonna pick him as a hooker, likely, and good matchup.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm.
jarrod_dyke: My start of the week's gonna be Harry Thacker from Bristol.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'd love it.
Grumpy Old Prop: And as I mentioned earlier, a couple of minutes ago, a couple of minutes ago, I put that out there with Tom Willis of Saracen's is my start of the week.
jarrod_dyke: and And I curse the shit out of him now, but you know.
jarrod_dyke: Nice. Like it. All right. And then, yeah, I said, I mentioned him earlier in one of my games, um highly sought after, but just doesn't do it for me. And it's probably not going to go well against his opposition.
jarrod_dyke: My say that he's going to be Sam Underhill from Bath.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm. And my set of the week, you'll never hear me say this in an Indian restaurant, but I am out on the curry. So, um, and it's kind of a Tom slash Ben Curry in this case.
jarrod_dyke: ah
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, no, don't, no, not interested because they're also, aren't they, are they expensive?
jarrod_dyke: No, probably not. No.
jarrod_dyke: They're both fairly expensive.
Grumpy Old Prop: Five and, uh, let me just do a quick. Five and six, yeah, Tom Curry's six. Yeah, no, no.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, Tom Kerry six. Definitely the one to not go for for sure.
Grumpy Old Prop: Definitely not. Yeah, so I'm going to sit be have the big ol' sit on Tom then, because he's more expensive.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: But also also don't don't start then, either.
jarrod_dyke: You're gonna sit on Tom.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: From one Ben to another.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: I mean, that would love. if
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, let's go fucking get it this weekend, boys.
jarrod_dyke: All right. Yeah. We are, we're back in the saddle friends.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Um, we'll do the sheet on Friday as we have done in the past. but Um, but on that, um, yeah, feel free to shoot us a question at the email or on the Twitter. But I'm not glad to be back friends.
jarrod_dyke: We are looking forward to it. Enjoy the weekend. Everyone.
Grumpy Old Prop: Later.
jarrod_dyke: Cheers
