Jarrod Dyke: Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm Ben Glauser.
Jarrod Dyke: We're in, it is fancy chat time. um do So we're just gonna buzz on through this. Do you want to do a recap of prem or do you want to do?
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh shit, I didn't even have that. Let's let's clean up let's finish up the ah the Champions Cup, because that's what we just were.
Jarrod Dyke: Okay, so for division one, do do do.
Jarrod Dyke: Uh, a little bit of movement here and there. Um, we had, we had big movement from, um, from Cobas. He had the yellow hat. So he jumped a spot. I mean, and a big movement from Duncan in the wrong direction. He, he dropped to, um,
Jarrod Dyke: And Mark, Mark also dropped a spot. And as we were chatting on that, on our group chat, it was evident that Mark had a few followups. So no, ah but Stu is leading the way along.
Jarrod Dyke: So that's Cobus, Mark, myself, Alex, Duncan, George, and Justin's yet to submit a team.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: So and as Justin pointed out, he hates the shit.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh.
Jarrod Dyke: So ah we we are going to be getting towards um
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Jarrod Dyke: super o b f r d And then we haven't talked about what is going to happen with the proper super rugby fantasy. We'll, we'll include it in one way or the other. Let's put it that way. So, but we haven't determined exactly what's going to happen and points and all that stuff, but we'll get there. Um, anyway, we got a couple of weeks on that one, but yeah. And champions cup, um, six nations groups will be formed this week so we can, so all you guys can pay attention to that. Um,
Jarrod Dyke: What is, what's it look like for D2?
Grumpy Old Prop: for D two, so we still, uh, Paul stays in first place. Um, when you're in second, you don't, you don't count. Um, I guess that I am in second, which it doesn't say I went up, but I'm kind of think I must have cause I, I had the yellow hat.
Jarrod Dyke: I don't count.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, sometimes it's a funny, it works funny like that.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, and Franco moved up one and, um, he's right behind me. Um, which actually, so if I go to the results though, um, no, cause I passed him.
Grumpy Old Prop: because I'm only like seven in front of him.
Jarrod Dyke: Okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: And yet I beat him this week by ah like 16 points. So yeah, I don't know what hell the hell happened there.
Jarrod Dyke: State.
Grumpy Old Prop: um Yeah, so it's tight there. And then Barty is a little bit behind us. And then Luke ah with they also got the wooden spoon this week. What did the hell did he do?
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: What did you do, Luke? um Because I think he may have captained. Yeah, he I think he was one of those who captained to be a BRA.
Grumpy Old Prop: And I don't think he had a, it doesn't look like he had a vice.
Jarrod Dyke: he didn didn't have a vice or he didn't, or the vice didn't play or whatever. Like it was gross.
Grumpy Old Prop: I don't know, but yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Unfortunate.
Grumpy Old Prop: So on majorly unfortunate for that.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. And, and other Matt, we did get your email. We'll, we'll get you, we'll get you in the loop. We promise the man called other Matt for now.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right. Awesome. Mother.
Jarrod Dyke: Anyway, uh, we got, let's do, so PWR picks, will um, update will come tomorrow. Um, we're still compiling the last two weeks.
Jarrod Dyke: I was kind of, I had my head firmly placed right up my ass. Um, but compiling everything this week, so should have it up tomorrow, Thursday at the latest, the absolute latest.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Um, but yeah, so we will have those numbers then. Um, I'm anticipating some big scores from some people based on some of the stuff that happened over the last two weeks. So should be interesting to say the least.
Jarrod Dyke: ah In any case our PWR picks are still due this week. So with that um there's ah there's a There's a slight theme to mine at least two out of three um My forward's gonna be Rachel Johnson My back's gonna be a love kelter And then I'm probably gonna go I think think McGovern's been kicking for Exeter So I'm probably gonna go with that
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right. Okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: Not bad. Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, I went with, uh, hope Rogers of Exeter as my forward, um, against sale.
Jarrod Dyke: Okay. Yeah, there you go.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, I think she'll have plenty of opportunity now by the goal line and to do what she does best.
Jarrod Dyke: Likely, yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, and then, uh, Meg Varley of Bristol.
Jarrod Dyke: There you go.
Grumpy Old Prop: playing against Trail Finders, and then my kicker will be Kira Bevan of Bristol.
Jarrod Dyke: Like it.
Jarrod Dyke: Okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: Assuming that she, you know, the you have to make sure the lineups are what they but they are, but um she, yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Nice.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. and She did okay the last couple of weeks, so I'm going to assume she's going to keep the tea.
Grumpy Old Prop: That's what my assumption is at that present.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, I'm with you on that one. All right. Start set.
Grumpy Old Prop: And I start us off.
Jarrod Dyke: Back to the, back to the problem.
Grumpy Old Prop: um um... to the stoop uh... quinn's first north hampton fucking start everyone if they're in this game don't worry about it playing i mean i you know obviously don't sign jared evans just for this one game but but like so so when i say everyone i mean anyone who you might normally have on your team who is still playing in this game start them and you know there might be some even uh...
Jarrod Dyke: No ill advised.
Jarrod Dyke: marran
Grumpy Old Prop: felons who uh... or guys you might not have who are our regular players.
Jarrod Dyke: Mm hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: And you can, don't worry about, yeah, go ahead and sign them and play them.
Jarrod Dyke: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, yeah, I don't have any, like individuals, we'll see what they have when they, when the team, you know, obviously, because we don't know the England players and who won't be there, who, and yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Right, right, right. Nope. No, I know I'm when it comes out.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, there's a teaspoon contingent on both teams there. So should be interesting. In any case,
Grumpy Old Prop: But for now, fucking everyone.
Jarrod Dyke: We got Gloucester and Leicester. So for Gloucester, looking at guys like Singles, Freddie Thomas, or Arthur Clarke, Freddie Thomas is the more expensive the two, but I i like him still.
Jarrod Dyke: Uh, Martha Clark's on a bad sub to that one. If you go in with a Gloucester second row, Thomas Williams should still be playing in this game. Llewellyn is going to be big, mad. That's one thing that talked about Lester being a big, mad.
Grumpy Old Prop: True.
Jarrod Dyke: Yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: True.
Jarrod Dyke: But also Llewellyn is going to be big, mad and ready to give the middle finger to Gats.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: So yeah. And and then, um, My preference this week is Wade over Santee because that's the one position Lester can defend very well is the back three.
Grumpy Old Prop: Uh -huh.
Jarrod Dyke: So Wade over Santee in this case, unless Santee's playing 10, but in which case he also probably want to give him the tee and that's hard because there's not a lot of 10s you want to not give the tee.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: So yeah, it makes life hard. So yeah, that's why it's just weird for me. So I'm going to go with Santee on that one.
Grumpy Old Prop: I usually still have um Fergus Burke to not have a T.
Jarrod Dyke: ah
Jarrod Dyke: Perhaps we'll see. You might get your wish this week.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh, I hope so.
Jarrod Dyke: For Lester, Nicky Smith should still be available. So give him a thumbs up.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Montoja, same thing. Liebenberg, Ruffell, yes. ah Cam Henderson is someone I would keep an eye on. um Second row, he's been playing really well.
Grumpy Old Prop: huh
Jarrod Dyke: I believe he's in the Scotland squad, but that also means it's probably going to be available for this week. So give that a look. He's only 2 million. so Yeah, give it that. ah Pollard and Hassel Collins are other guys to keep an eye on.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Jarrod Dyke: them And then I think Parisi is back so you can also give that guy possibly a whirl.
Grumpy Old Prop: rodway bradwin
Jarrod Dyke: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. he's He is expensive though.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, it's he might be one of those you got to see it first.
Jarrod Dyke: And he also may come off the bench.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, he's seven million. He ain't super cheap.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. But could be value if he, uh, we'll see.
Jarrod Dyke: Totally. Yeah. I mean, he's more expensive than like Marley, who's not going to play this week, obviously, or or even like Hathaway.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: But if, if this deal, if this ends up being as good as it could be for him, then yeah, might be totally worth it. Might be totally worth the 7 million and I'm not denying that, but just maybe keep an eye on the line up because he might come off the bench.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: That's the other thing.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Jarrod Dyke: And then, uh, they left Cole behind for England for awhile. So still don't, still don't play them, but you know, yeah all you people that have selected Dan Cole, don't know what you're doing.
Grumpy Old Prop: So, um, all right, then off to, oh yeah, Exeter Siresons, Sandy Park. Um, for Exeter mate, wait, did he make the team Josh Hodge?
Jarrod Dyke: No.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay. So maybe Josh Hodge.
Jarrod Dyke: Only, only one dipshit.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay. Uh, uh,
Jarrod Dyke: And we know which one it is. Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: ah
Jarrod Dyke: So you know, which one it is.
Grumpy Old Prop: oh Fine whatever don't pick their best player pick one of their worst Yeah, but I only really really see this being a Haji and maybe Wyatt he seems to be one of those guys who likes to score on Saracens um For Saracens their forwards especially the locks in back row Donzo, I think will be an excellent start this week. I think he's gonna be asked to do a lot and I think he's gonna do it and Um, outside of that, meh, we'll see.
Grumpy Old Prop: I mean, Fergus Burke, I think should score pretty well if they play. And then I, right.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, if they actually play rugby.
Grumpy Old Prop: And then it's going to be a lot of the, I think it's going to be young pups, but I think they can also do well if you give them the ball. So consider it.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, we'll see what we'll see what comes through on the on the line up here.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: Might see Ollie Hartley out there a little bit.
Grumpy Old Prop: Exactly. Um, Elliott could have a good day.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. Hope so. All right. Um, sale bath. So for sale, I only got a couple for you and it's the two of the back three that didn't get picked, picked for England. Cause they won either haven't been picked yet or they don't play for England, uh, carpenter and read maybe a flats, but I would prefer those two over anybody else. The rest are kind of risks. You know, people will say Bobby dupes. Yeah, I don't love that.
Grumpy Old Prop: No.
Jarrod Dyke: if if I'm honest. So, um, nope, nope, nope. Those are the two that I'm really looking at for sale for, cause the rest are either called in or not worth it. Worth your time. Um, for bath, uh, do taught.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep. Bayless Alfie. Yep. Pepper. Probably as long as he's healthy.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Um, I'll give Spencer a while right now cause it's war. It's not quirky. So, or maybe just quirky. It doesn't matter. I still like Spencer.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Uh, Finn, yes. um Probably see Redpath in the midfield, maybe a return for Wilbotte. And then Koka, Tonda, landfill, yes. I don't think Mira's healthy yet, so pass pass otherwise.
Grumpy Old Prop: ah presto for versus newcast I'm pretty sure Joe Batley's coming back for this one.
Jarrod Dyke: I think so.
Grumpy Old Prop: um So there you go.
Jarrod Dyke: Throw that one in there, yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: um And then other than that, Harry Burns seems to be able to make them go. um or at least it's not as, but like, this is the, best that was the best non AJ at 10 match Bristol have played in years.
Jarrod Dyke: a bit, yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: So that's, I'm going to put it that way. So I would not shy away from it. This is not a, like, you know, how I, there was a kind of a, you should have dumped Bristol players before. Yeah. I get it. I go we get them back.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, they should do all right.
Grumpy Old Prop: So, you know, like, um, motts, I should thrive again.
Jarrod Dyke: yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, Revovo, which, in you know, probably shouldn't have gotten rid of him if he did anyway. Um, I think I did, but it's gotta, it's gotta fix that.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, and probably the one guy that it was worth hanging on to.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. Um, guy you want back in your lineup, like now he's not that expensive.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep. Yep. I agree.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's only four. So yeah, I know.
Jarrod Dyke: Four. I'm surprised he's as cheap as he is, honestly.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep. Nice still little midfield there that you could get for a total of 7 million between him and Muellen.
Grumpy Old Prop: Llewellyn. Yeah. I already have Llewellyn. I got Lawrence. I'll just trade out beard for Revovo and done.
Jarrod Dyke: Problem solved.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, problem solved.
Jarrod Dyke: So problems solved.
Grumpy Old Prop: Next.
Jarrod Dyke: All right. Uh, of the weeks. Um, so really easy, nice matchup has been pointed out. The team should be able to ti tick over a few times and, and go, I'm going to go with big bill Matta for my start of the week from Bristol.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, nice. oh um My start of the week is going to be Will Evans from Harlequin's.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep. That's a good one too.
Grumpy Old Prop: I think he's going to be asked to do quite a bit, and I think he's going to do it.
Jarrod Dyke: He's able to do it usually. So that's a good point. Yeah. That's a good one. Sit. Um, I, I, he's going to be sought after. I think it's a terrible idea to go chasing Bobby dupes for this one game.
Jarrod Dyke: I know he's going to probably play 10. I get it. But at the same time, like it's a, it's a hassle to give a center slash non 10 at the T and.
Grumpy Old Prop: me
Jarrod Dyke: hope that something else gets happened, especially when like Marcus isn't playing, like he'd be the one guy i and maybe Fergus as well. But like, those are the two guys that would think and Fergus isn't informed lately. So then Marcus isn't available. So that's me.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh, sorry, my seat of the week is the whoever Exeter eight is. um So if it's it's Vincent, don't be caught up in what you just saw.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, no.
Grumpy Old Prop: that No, like so my diet my my whole thing about a Ben Curry doing one awesome thing is that like Yeah, you could do that more you could do stuff like that more often and I'd like to see that that should be growth in his game massive growth in his game Vincent I just Know
Jarrod Dyke: No, no, no, no, no.
Grumpy Old Prop: if he does that again, it'll probably be a ping for being offside. So just think of it that way.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, and I'm not overly convinced that Baxter's interested in growing players.
Grumpy Old Prop: I
Jarrod Dyke: He just wants to play a stupid style of rugby.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right. So um don't get, don't get sucked in by it. And then also that Saracens really do shut down the opposition forward.
Jarrod Dyke: No.
Grumpy Old Prop: So yeah, just stay away.
Jarrod Dyke: There's that too. There's that minor part too. All right, cool. That's that. Happy to be back friends. We missed you. Sheet will come out on Friday.
Jarrod Dyke: But other than that, we will see you guys next week. Enjoy the return to the prem and hope that your teams are able to take the hit from all the England players. We'll catch you guys next week. Thanks for listening, everyone.
Grumpy Old Prop: Later.
Jarrod Dyke: Cheers.
