00:00:52
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, so for division one, do do do.
00:01:00
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,
00:01:17
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
Super Rugby Fantasy Plans and Uncertainties
00:01:31
Jarrod Dyke
along.
00:01:31
Jarrod Dyke
So that's Cobus, Mark, myself, Alex, Duncan, George, and Justin's yet to submit a team.
00:01:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:01:37
Jarrod Dyke
So and as Justin pointed out, he hates the shit.
00:01:38
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh.
00:01:41
Jarrod Dyke
So ah we we are going to be getting towards um
00:01:41
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:01:47
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.
Division 2 Standings and Humorous Observations
00:02:05
Jarrod Dyke
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,
00:02:15
Jarrod Dyke
What is, what's it look like for D2?
00:02:19
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.
00:02:26
Jarrod Dyke
I don't count.
00:02:34
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, sometimes it's a funny, it works funny like that.
00:02:36
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.
00:02:48
Grumpy Old Prop
because
00:02:48
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
Listener Emails and Player Mistakes Discussion
00:02:49
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm only like seven in front of him.
00:02:51
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.
00:02:57
Jarrod Dyke
State.
00:02:59
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?
00:03:09
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:03:11
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.
00:03:19
Grumpy Old Prop
And I don't think he had a, it doesn't look like he had a vice.
00:03:21
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.
00:03:25
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't know, but yeah.
00:03:27
Jarrod Dyke
Unfortunate.
00:03:28
Grumpy Old Prop
So on majorly unfortunate for that.
00:03:31
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.
00:03:36
Grumpy Old Prop
All right. Awesome.
Delayed PWR Picks Update
00:03:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Mother.
00:03:42
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.
00:03:52
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.
00:04:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:04:04
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
PWR Picks Discussion
00:04:12
Jarrod Dyke
the last two weeks. So should be interesting to say the least.
00:04:16
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
00:04:20
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
00:04:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay.
00:04:33
Grumpy Old Prop
All right. Okay.
00:04:41
Grumpy Old Prop
Not bad. Yeah.
00:04:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, I went with, uh, hope Rogers of Exeter as my forward, um, against sale.
00:04:47
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. Yeah, there you go.
00:04:49
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, I think she'll have plenty of opportunity now by the goal line and to do what she does best.
00:04:54
Jarrod Dyke
Likely, yep.
00:04:55
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, and then, uh, Meg Varley of Bristol.
00:04:58
Jarrod Dyke
There you go.
00:04:59
Jarrod Dyke
Like it.
00:04:59
Grumpy Old Prop
playing against Trail Finders, and then my kicker will be Kira Bevan of Bristol.
00:05:05
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:05:06
Jarrod Dyke
Nice.
00:05:06
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.
00:05:10
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.
00:05:16
Grumpy Old Prop
That's what my assumption is at that present.
00:05:18
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Start/Sit Player Recommendations
00:05:20
Jarrod Dyke
All right. Start set.
00:05:23
Grumpy Old Prop
And I start us off.
00:05:23
Jarrod Dyke
Back to the, back to the problem.
00:05:26
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...
00:05:40
Jarrod Dyke
No ill advised.
00:05:52
Jarrod Dyke
marran
00:05:55
Grumpy Old Prop
felons who uh... or guys you might not have who are our regular players.
00:05:59
Jarrod Dyke
Mm hmm.
00:06:02
Grumpy Old Prop
And you can, don't worry about, yeah, go ahead and sign them and play them.
00:06:06
Jarrod Dyke
Right.
00:06:08
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.
00:06:08
Jarrod Dyke
Right, right, right. Nope. No, I know I'm when it comes out.
00:06:18
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, there's a teaspoon contingent on both teams there. So should be interesting. In any case,
00:06:24
Grumpy Old Prop
But for now, fucking everyone.
00:06:28
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.
00:06:40
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.
00:06:51
Grumpy Old Prop
True.
00:06:51
Jarrod Dyke
Yes.
00:06:52
Grumpy Old Prop
True.
00:06:52
Jarrod Dyke
But also Llewellyn is going to be big, mad and ready to give the middle finger to Gats.
00:06:54
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:06:56
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.
00:07:01
Grumpy Old Prop
Uh-huh.
00:07:06
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.
00:07:15
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:07:16
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.
00:07:21
Grumpy Old Prop
I usually still have um Fergus Burke to not have a T.
00:07:22
Jarrod Dyke
ah
00:07:26
Jarrod Dyke
Perhaps we'll see. You might get your wish this week.
00:07:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh, I hope so.
00:07:32
Jarrod Dyke
For Lester, Nicky Smith should still be available. So give him a thumbs up.
00:07:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:07:38
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.
00:07:46
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.
00:07:46
Grumpy Old Prop
huh
00:07:56
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:08:00
Jarrod Dyke
them And then I think Parisi is back so you can also give that guy possibly a whirl.
00:08:05
Grumpy Old Prop
rodway bradwin
00:08:07
Jarrod Dyke
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. he's He is expensive though.
00:08:12
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, it's he might be one of those you got to see it first.
00:08:14
Jarrod Dyke
And he also may come off the bench.
00:08:17
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:08:17
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, he's seven million. He ain't super cheap.
00:08:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. But could be value if he, uh,
Exeter vs. Saracens Analysis
00:08:24
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.
00:08:25
Grumpy Old Prop
we'll see.
00:08:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:08:31
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.
00:08:39
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:08:45
Jarrod Dyke
That's the other thing.
00:08:46
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:08:47
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.
00:09:01
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?
00:09:13
Jarrod Dyke
No.
00:09:15
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. So maybe Josh Hodge.
00:09:17
Jarrod Dyke
Only, only one dipshit.
00:09:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. Uh, uh,
00:09:20
Jarrod Dyke
And we know which one it is. Yep.
00:09:22
Grumpy Old Prop
ah
00:09:22
Jarrod Dyke
So you know, which one it is.
00:09:24
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,
Sale vs. Bath Matchup Insights
00:10:00
Grumpy Old Prop
we'll see.
00:10:00
Grumpy Old Prop
I mean, Fergus Burke, I think should score pretty well if they play. And then I, right.
00:10:06
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, if they actually play rugby.
00:10:08
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.
00:10:14
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, we'll see what we'll see what comes through on the on the line up here.
00:10:17
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:10:18
Jarrod Dyke
Might see Ollie Hartley out there a little bit.
00:10:20
Grumpy Old Prop
Exactly. Um, Elliott could have a good day.
00:10:23
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.
00:10:47
Grumpy Old Prop
No.
00:10:47
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.
00:11:02
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Bayless Alfie. Yep. Pepper. Probably as long as he's healthy.
00:11:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:11:06
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.
00:11:15
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.
00:11:15
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
Bristol vs. Newcastle Strategies
00:11:32
Grumpy Old Prop
ah presto for versus newcast I'm pretty sure Joe Batley's coming back for this one.
00:11:38
Jarrod Dyke
I think so.
00:11:39
Grumpy Old Prop
um So there you go.
00:11:42
Jarrod Dyke
Throw that one in there, yep.
00:11:43
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.
00:11:58
Jarrod Dyke
a bit, yeah
00:11:59
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.
00:12:10
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, they should do all right.
00:12:14
Grumpy Old Prop
So, you know, like, um, motts, I should thrive again.
00:12:15
Jarrod Dyke
yeah.
00:12:18
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.
00:12:24
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, and probably the one guy that it was worth hanging on to.
00:12:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Um, guy you want back in your lineup, like now he's not that expensive.
00:12:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yep. I agree.
00:12:33
Grumpy Old Prop
It's only four. So yeah, I know.
00:12:34
Jarrod Dyke
Four. I'm surprised he's as cheap as he is, honestly.
00:12:39
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Nice still little midfield there that you could get for a total of 7 million between him and Muellen.
00:12:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Llewellyn. Yeah. I already have Llewellyn. I got Lawrence. I'll just trade out beard for Revovo and done.
00:12:52
Jarrod Dyke
Problem solved.
00:12:53
Jarrod Dyke
So problems solved.
00:12:54
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, problem solved.
00:12:56
Grumpy Old Prop
Next.
00:12:57
Jarrod Dyke
All right.
Weekly Insights Summary
00:12:58
Jarrod Dyke
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.
00:13:13
Grumpy Old Prop
All right, nice. oh um My start of the week is going to be Will Evans from Harlequin's.
00:13:19
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. That's a good one too.
00:13:20
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.
00:13:23
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.
00:13:38
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.
00:13:42
Grumpy Old Prop
me
00:13:50
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.
00:14:09
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.
00:14:20
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, no.
00:14:21
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
00:14:22
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no, no, no.
00:14:42
Grumpy Old Prop
if he does that again, it'll probably be a ping for being offside. So just think of it that way.
00:14:46
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, and I'm not overly convinced that Baxter's interested in growing players.
00:14:50
Grumpy Old Prop
I
00:14:51
Jarrod Dyke
He just wants to play a stupid style of rugby.
00:14:55
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.
00:15:00
Jarrod Dyke
No.
00:15:03
Grumpy Old Prop
So yeah, just stay away.
00:15:06
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.
00:15:17
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.
00:15:28
Grumpy Old Prop
Later.
00:15:29
Jarrod Dyke
Cheers.
