Introduction and Fantasy Corner
00:00:29
Jarrod Dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fantasy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
00:00:33
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm Ben Glauser.
00:00:34
Jarrod Dyke
It's Fantasy Corner Time. Away we go, and off we go.
Premiership Standings Discussion
00:00:38
Jarrod Dyke
um Let's tuck into Champion Yanks League standings. Premiership first.
00:00:44
Jarrod Dyke
um Yeah, not much movement this week for us. George had the wooden spoon, so naturally he dropped. He only dropped one spot though, so that says a lot. yeah Yeah, I mean, he wasn't far. yeah Actually, that's a pretty good...
00:00:58
Jarrod Dyke
distance he would have had to drop to get to cobu Cobus. Cobus still another 23 points behind him. Justin had the wood had the yellow cap and had the best score. As I said, George had the wooden spoon, so he swapped places with Stu.
00:01:12
Jarrod Dyke
um Right now, the standings are Mark, Stu, George, Cobus, Duncan, Alex, myself, and Justin. Yeah, Justin did the yellow half, and he's still last. So Justin's doing some work over there, to say the least.
00:01:26
Grumpy Old Prop
And down in Division 2, we have Matt ah Paul, Barty, Aubrey, Franco, myself, Drew, and Luke, no movement whatsoever. We've kind of segregated into some so spaces where you know Matt and Paul are um like 50 points away from Barty, who's in third, who is 80 points away from Aubrey.
00:01:52
Grumpy Old Prop
And then there's about like 70 points between Aubrey and myself with with Franco between us.
00:01:55
Jarrod Dyke
wow
00:01:57
Grumpy Old Prop
And then Drew's actually, he's only 30 points behind me or so. um And then Luke is way out. So it's like there might be movement within those groups, but unlikely to change at this point.
Super Rugby Standings Update
00:02:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:02:15
Jarrod Dyke
Down Super Rugby Way.
00:02:20
Jarrod Dyke
a, again, George had a small drop. He traded places with someone. That was the biggest movement. Yellow cap went to Stu, who leads the way right now. And then guess who got the wooden spoon? This guy.
00:02:32
Grumpy Old Prop
Justin. Oh, OK.
00:02:33
Jarrod Dyke
This guy did. um So the standings are, as of right now, Stu, Kobus, Justin, George, Alex, Duncan, myself, and Mark pulling up the rear.
00:02:44
Jarrod Dyke
Mark's doing a lot of work trying to hold on to that last spot, apparently.
00:02:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:02:47
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:02:49
Jarrod Dyke
I'm dropping all the... If I'm hitting wooden spoon territory and you still ain't overtaking me, there's there's work being done over there, to say the least. Not in a good way.
00:02:59
Grumpy Old Prop
And then the D2s, we don't have everybody in the... ah We still don't have everybody in the pool.
00:03:06
Jarrod Dyke
Sad.
00:03:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Weird. um I hope they're doing it anyway, and then we can slot them in, but we'll have to see. We have Franco at the top, followed fairly closely, about 30 points away. 40 points away, sorry, ah by Paul.
00:03:22
Grumpy Old Prop
I am like 20 points away from Paul. I got the... Yellow cap this week and then not far behind me is is Luke.
00:03:31
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:03:32
Grumpy Old Prop
So top four. Need
00:03:33
Jarrod Dyke
You don't have to that.
Fantasy Game Reflection and Future Plans
00:03:34
Jarrod Dyke
You got half the unit in there.
00:03:35
Grumpy Old Prop
the other four.
00:03:38
Jarrod Dyke
Okay, so long time coming. We haven't really... don't think we published this yet, but we also haven't announced it. So the PWR finished a while ago, but we didn't talk about our fantasy standings.
00:03:51
Grumpy Old Prop
We did not.
00:03:51
Jarrod Dyke
So let's look back at that. um So first of all, thank you to everybody that jumped in on this, and this was great. a lot of a lot of repeats, which was awesome as well. We're hoping to have ah real...
00:04:06
Jarrod Dyke
different competition next year, provided we can get the data we got this year, and that'll really be awesome.
00:04:10
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:04:10
Jarrod Dyke
um um So Matt brought up the rear with Oscar. Both of them just slipped off at the end. Rihanna, hey, i' look at you, Rihanna. You did not finish last. Well, way to go, kid.
00:04:21
Jarrod Dyke
um Tom was in seventh. our Our good friend George was in sixth. our Our other friend Julia was in fifth. The wonderful fourth.
00:04:35
Jarrod Dyke
Duncan was in third, and then some other assholes were rounding up the top two somewhere.
00:04:39
Grumpy Old Prop
Winning our own game. Hell yeah.
00:04:43
Jarrod Dyke
We didn't last year, let's be honest about this. we we yeah We got torched. but I think you and I were both mid-table last year on this one, if I remember correctly.
00:04:52
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't know. I just remember finishing second this year.
00:04:53
Jarrod Dyke
was...
00:04:54
Grumpy Old Prop
That's all that matters to me. Yeah.
00:04:56
Jarrod Dyke
It's fine. I can i can they can go with that. ah So, yes, thank you to everyone that that participated on this this week this this year, and we really appreciate We'll look forward to seeing and everyone with us next year, and maybe more, depending on how things go.
00:05:08
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah Jared, are they the first ever 1,000-point scorer in this competition?
00:05:17
Jarrod Dyke
I mean, yes, because we had no numbers last year.
00:05:19
Grumpy Old Prop
There we go. the Stop. ah You don't have to say.
00:05:22
Jarrod Dyke
today
00:05:22
Grumpy Old Prop
You just end with a yes. You need to keep going.
00:05:27
Jarrod Dyke
but I'm not one to brag.
00:05:31
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:05:33
Jarrod Dyke
Am I happy? Yes. Am I one to brag? Not only.
00:05:37
Grumpy Old Prop
And someone asks you if you're the first thousand-point player in this competition, and it's the truth, say Yes. Hmm.
00:05:42
Jarrod Dyke
You say yeah
00:05:43
Grumpy Old Prop
and it's the truth you say yes
00:05:47
Jarrod Dyke

00:05:51
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:06:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
Premiership Fantasy Picks and Insights
00:06:10
Jarrod Dyke
either curry, although I think Ben Curry's hurt, um, carpenter, Roebuck, all fair plays. Um, why everyone keeps picking shithousing Johnny Hill. I have no idea, but he's a card waiting to happen to have fun with that.
00:06:23
Jarrod Dyke
Neither court nor war. I need to see more from Quirk. need him healthy. Number one, but I need, I need to see him on the field and actually do his old thing.
00:06:29
Jarrod Dyke
Um, and Bobby dupes is and also a no right now while he's playing 13. thirteen If he's playing 10, then I'm, I'm into it, but always playing 13.
00:06:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
00:06:34
Grumpy Old Prop
No.
00:06:36
Jarrod Dyke
Nah.
00:06:37
Grumpy Old Prop
no
00:06:37
Jarrod Dyke
um For the Saracens. ah By the way, Sale are one of the toughest, if not the toughest defense in premiership fantasy.
00:06:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:06:47
Jarrod Dyke
Just keep that in mind. But there are still some picks that I would definitely be into. um Reese, Theodan, Morrow, Theomack, Willis, Earl, Tobias Elliott, and Daly, yes.
00:07:02
Jarrod Dyke
um
00:07:02
Jarrod Dyke
Jenks, Tizen,
00:07:03
Grumpy Old Prop
Elliot especially.
00:07:03
Grumpy Old Prop
He's such a...
00:07:06
Jarrod Dyke
mm-hmm.
00:07:07
Grumpy Old Prop
At three units, um he should be your... Because he plays every match. And he should be your stash player at the very least. should be your bench player in case one of your your starters gets injured.
00:07:15
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, absolutely. um Yeah, no, no jinx. No, it is. No, I haven't been so.
00:07:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Good calls there. um Okay. To the wreck. Bath hosting Newcastle. Um...
00:07:32
Jarrod Dyke
and Can't imagine where this goes. Newcastle are back to being the worst fantasy team, by the way.
00:07:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. um But like, let's, let's start there. Cause you're looking at um Jamie Blumeyer and that's about it. So there you go.
00:07:48
Grumpy Old Prop
um For the bath team.
00:07:52
Grumpy Old Prop
Thomas Dutot, of course, um ah um I would stick away from the hookers because you can get hu can get good scoring elsewhere with this team and and you can get good high scoring hookers elsewhere.
00:08:04
Grumpy Old Prop
um You really want to reserve points for like real positions where it's it's key. So even Dutot is kind of a ah maybe this week. um But if you got him on your team, I wouldn't drop him for this.
00:08:16
Grumpy Old Prop
But Finn, obviously, if you've got him, you're playing him anyway. um Certainly this match and any of the back three that there are the back row. It's hard to know. I would I would stay away from the locks because, again, locks anywhere can score.
00:08:27
Jarrod Dyke
No.
00:08:28
Grumpy Old Prop
it's a little bit of ah a toss up there.
00:08:28
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no. Nope.
00:08:31
Grumpy Old Prop
But the the back the back row here. Yes. um
00:08:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Not so much Spencer.
00:08:38
Jarrod Dyke
nope
00:08:39
Grumpy Old Prop
The centers, I'm kind of, as you said in the other pod, I'm kind of interested to see what happens um post to Jomo here. And then obviously that that back three that you know whoever Bath put out there, whether it's their...
00:08:53
Grumpy Old Prop
um is cooking sayinger Is he injured or is that just is that um was he just rested?
00:08:58
Jarrod Dyke
I think that was my choice.
00:08:59
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. Oh, fuck.
00:09:00
Jarrod Dyke
ah think that was my choice. You may be a little hanged up.
00:09:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Yes, chilling out for this game. There you go. um And then basically anybody else. who put that This is also a good match for ah Tom DeGlanville, who I think played pretty well last week too.
00:09:12
Jarrod Dyke
You did.
00:09:13
Grumpy Old Prop
There you go.
00:09:14
Jarrod Dyke
That was my start of the week. All right. ah Lester Quinns for the Tigers. Nicky Smith, Joe Hayes, Montaja up in the front row. Yep. I'll love all those, especially Nicky Smith.
00:09:25
Jarrod Dyke
He's only one. Is he one unit in this thing?
00:09:28
Grumpy Old Prop
I think so. It sounds right.
00:09:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. Yeah, he is. And the points he scores is totally worth that one unit. So, yep. Um, Matosja, yep. Uh, LHSM, yes. George Martin, I think is hurt, but if he's not, give him a Honro, Rafael, yes. Van Portfleet, yep.
00:09:44
Jarrod Dyke
Pollard, uh, Hassel Collins, Freddie Radz, all good, all thumbs ups for me. Uh, Sits, the guys that have way too much ownership that I would probably not play ever, uh, Dan Cullen, Ben Youngs.
00:09:56
Jarrod Dyke
Bye, Ben Youngs. Won't see you after the season. Not sad about it. Um,
00:10:00
Grumpy Old Prop
No, I would have been if he had retired like five or six years ago.
00:10:01
Jarrod Dyke
and
00:10:04
Jarrod Dyke
Right. Um, for the Queens, uh, Finn Baxter. Yep. What, uh, Will Evans, Kenningham. Yes. CCS. If he's in the back row. Yes.
00:10:14
Jarrod Dyke
Um,
00:10:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:10:15
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:10:16
Jarrod Dyke
Dom's not as highly selected right now, so I stayed away from that. Marcus, yep. Beard, Northmore, Murley, all thumbs up for me. um Stay away from Walker, Launch, Porter, Jared Evans, or a Halfpenny, all of which have too much ownership for me, and i would not be all that interested in them.
00:10:40
Grumpy Old Prop
All right, one sec. Off to, oh, Northampton hosting Bristol, which should be a hell of a punch-up.
00:10:42
Jarrod Dyke
Pretty good. Yeah.
00:10:48
Grumpy Old Prop
I would say lots of points um go deep in this match.
00:10:49
Jarrod Dyke
Lots of points.
00:10:53
Grumpy Old Prop
um for this For the Saints, um Chuck should should be playing here, I guess, because, um oh shit, who was it who got hurt the other week? Well, Pearson got hurt this week.
00:11:05
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. We got a rehearsal last week, yeah.
00:11:08
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, so, but I bet truck will play. I'm guessing Pollack plays or is, is, did he also get hurt or was that just precautionary?
00:11:15
Jarrod Dyke
No, he... I think that was precautionary.
00:11:17
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. Um, good, good round for him. um Don't know what's going to go on with their fly-off situation. is At this point, they might want to actually give Finn Smith a complete rest. They might have to give him a rest, um depending on on how and the severity of that.
00:11:33
Grumpy Old Prop
um Because he was still kind of limping later in the match, too.
00:11:34
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:11:36
Grumpy Old Prop
like He kind of was all right after half, but it wasn't looking great for the whole match.
00:11:36
Jarrod Dyke
He was...
00:11:41
Grumpy Old Prop
um And then they're they're back. you know Freeman, Slytholm.
00:11:47
Grumpy Old Prop
you name it, they'll play well. Um, on the other side, Bristol kind of same thing. Like, um, all gray, who I guess he came off, but either way, Thacker is right. Fucking there. And yes.
00:11:59
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, Hatley, I was really disappointed that he came off. I had him started. um Maybe he or that he you pulled out late. Hopefully he's back. and He's OK and is playing this week because they really need him.
00:12:14
Grumpy Old Prop
um Fitz Harding and Mata, yes and yes. Randall, yes. McGinty, yes. And then kind of falls apart after that. Revovo, and that's about it.
00:12:26
Jarrod Dyke
yeah Yep, yep.
00:12:31
Jarrod Dyke
Alright, Gloucester and gloster on the shitbags.
00:12:36
Jarrod Dyke
For Gloucester. um
00:12:40
Jarrod Dyke
ah Singles, Freddie Thomas, Clement, Thomas Williams, ah maybe George Barton if he's playing a 10.
00:12:47
Jarrod Dyke
um if he has ah If he's at 10, he might have the T, so just don't, maybe, maybe not, but just an idea. I think Llewellyn's still hurt, but if he comes back, then you're that's a thumbs up for me. Seb Atkinson's been playing really well. I'd look there.
00:12:47
Grumpy Old Prop
o
00:13:00
Jarrod Dyke
Senti, yep. Wade, maybe, maybe not. Maybe he's saving himself for a league, apparently. Can't believe he's doing that. Ugh, what a freaking circus clown.
00:13:11
Jarrod Dyke
um Sits for the Cherries. um For Sogbon and Anscombe.
00:13:17
Grumpy Old Prop
There you
00:13:18
Jarrod Dyke
ah for the other For the other dildos. um Frost and Hodge are the ones I'm really looking at, and that's about it. Brown Bampo, his ownership isn't that high, but he's also definitely worth at this point.
00:13:31
Jarrod Dyke
So more people probably should need to look that way. ah Guys that have way too much ownership of that I want nothing to do with, Captain Daffy, Capstick, and Slade. Pass.
00:13:41
Grumpy Old Prop
you go
00:13:44
Jarrod Dyke
OT Dubs.
00:13:46
Grumpy Old Prop
OT dubs. Start of the week, I kind of mentioned him. I know you said something about Dick Lanville, but I'm sticking with Coconut Siga as my but start of the week.
00:13:55
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, not bad. um So I went with the guy that's scoring well, fairly popular, and playing a team that should surrender a few points here and there.
00:14:06
Jarrod Dyke
I'm going to go with Freddie Stewart as my start of the week.
00:14:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Not a bad call either.
Super Rugby Player Recommendations
00:14:10
Jarrod Dyke
Nope.
00:14:11
Grumpy Old Prop
My sit of the week, um ah it's... I just don't see him make it. That's a potential for an impact, but then you look back at the teams again and and you're just, you know, even though you're just talking about them, I sit Henry Slade this weekend.
00:14:29
Jarrod Dyke
a
00:14:30
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't, you know, there's certain players like Finn Russell who would go into the shed and and love to shush them and earn it, but I don't see Slade doing it. And I think Gloucester are, are not terrible right now.
00:14:43
Jarrod Dyke
No, apart from last week. Yeah. less But again, we were talking about, they're probably little banged up.
00:14:43
Grumpy Old Prop
Last week, notwithstanding.
00:14:49
Jarrod Dyke
think they'll get some guys back this week and that'll, that'll certainly help them. um I'm concerned that Danny Wilson might get cute because he is a little bit desperate for a W right now. And I'm, I'm concerned he's going to go with either half Penny or Evans this week in this team.
00:14:49
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:15:03
Jarrod Dyke
And that would be something he would be there he would do that would think would suddenly make it better.
00:15:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:15:08
Jarrod Dyke
And I don't see that being any. So either one of them starts, I would not play them at all.
00:15:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, I went i would I was close to going with Marcus Smith as my set of the week this week, but I'm just not going to I'm not ready to do that in my soul.
00:15:14
Jarrod Dyke
Pass. Hard pass.
00:15:22
Jarrod Dyke
I say he'd hear you and frigging give you the finger.
00:15:27
Jarrod Dyke
That's just delicious how that would work out.
00:15:30
Grumpy Old Prop
that That would call into question my, you know.
00:15:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Is that what I wanted?
00:15:40
Jarrod Dyke
ah
00:15:40
Grumpy Old Prop
So, and I don't want to be, don't want to be there.
00:15:41
Jarrod Dyke
Super.
00:15:42
Grumpy Old Prop
So I'm just going to go with, you know, the known quantity, you know, I hate them and you know, and I, when I say sit of the week, you know, I mean it, um, mostless
00:15:47
Jarrod Dyke
but Fair. Fair. um Yeah, let's go to Super.
00:15:53
Grumpy Old Prop
the Supas. And I guess that's, that's a me start since I've got three of these, um, for the chefs.
00:15:57
Jarrod Dyke
It is.
00:16:00
Grumpy Old Prop
Fuck. Where, who don't you start? Um, well, you know their front row for the most part. Yeah. Um, But for this, you know, for a Super Rouge type typee competition, I would just leave the forwards alone and just basically find the backs and plug and play.
00:16:17
Jarrod Dyke
I
00:16:18
Grumpy Old Prop
Honestly, from from the nine out. um Yeah, go for it. Although this is a game, I think, I'm sorry.
00:16:24
Jarrod Dyke
think the Force are one of the worst fantasy teams. so ah say I think the Force are one of the worst fantasy teams as of the last update I did.
00:16:32
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:16:32
Jarrod Dyke
I got rejig everything and make sure it's not all fucked up, but they they should surrender points.
00:16:33
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Oh.
00:16:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Locks. locks too. Not, you know, but of of any forwards, go with the two locks. um And you you could you could score pretty well. They've got some guys you can play.
00:16:47
Grumpy Old Prop
But yeah, locks. and the And maybe not if it's Rowe at nine. And this seems like a game where he would start. um In that case, just go from 10 on out, even if it's McKenzie.
00:17:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh, and then for the other side, the force.
00:17:02
Jarrod Dyke
Anything for Forrest?
00:17:04
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. um Like,
00:17:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, like um Jeremy Williams is always a guy you want to Zano. Duh. um Donaldson. and then it kind of gets a... Kunzel and Potter could score, but I just don't know.
00:17:24
Jarrod Dyke
I'd put Potter in there.
00:17:25
Grumpy Old Prop
I think, but yeah, yeah right it it could happen, but I wouldn't i wouldn't bank on it.
00:17:29
Jarrod Dyke
But not... No.
00:17:32
Grumpy Old Prop
so So everybody, like Jeremy Williams is really the one guy I would i would look to because Locke's kind of can stay even.
00:17:32
Jarrod Dyke
No.
00:17:38
Grumpy Old Prop
Tisano is probably going to score two tries anyway. Donaldson will have a couple conversions. He's not like the worst 10 to have, but... It's not going you're going to have their best, their best game this week.
00:17:51
Jarrod Dyke
right, right, right.
00:17:53
Grumpy Old Prop
Hence why I was just ready to move on without them.
00:17:56
Jarrod Dyke
The reds and blues, um, for the reds. Um, it's a short, but really notable list. Fessler, which means the front row, uh, McWright, Wilson, believe, don't think Wilson's hurt right now.
00:18:11
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, maybe he is. haven't seen him for a minute. Also, they were off last week.
00:18:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, I haven't either.
00:18:14
Jarrod Dyke
So that's probably, that's probably what hurt him.
00:18:15
Grumpy Old Prop
It's been really annoying.
00:18:16
Jarrod Dyke
Um, Tate and Lina as well.
00:18:18
Jarrod Dyke
Um,
00:18:18
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:18:18
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:18:19
Jarrod Dyke
There are other options out wide, but they're just not as widely selected in Super Brew. Trust me, if I find reason to put them on the sheet for Thursday, they'll be on there. Don't worry. um For the Blues, Riccitelli, Papali'i, Satutu, Bode despite his last game, and Talia, yes.
00:18:38
Jarrod Dyke
Sitz, Tupelo, Christie, Rico Ioani, and Caleb Clark. and I know he's banged up right now, but still wasn't playing well before that. um A lot you might want to glance towards if you haven't yet is Josh Berry.
00:18:52
Grumpy Old Prop
All
00:18:52
Jarrod Dyke
That would be but be ah an idea for those out there that might be looking for some help, especially in the Super Brew land. I don't know about FRD, but definitely in the Super Brew land, I would go glance at that for considering that there's not many other options that are playing super well for the Blues.
00:19:09
Jarrod Dyke
Womp womp.
00:19:13
Grumpy Old Prop
right, then I guess we're on to Moana hosting the Druah.
00:19:16
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm..
00:19:17
Grumpy Old Prop
for the hosts um file it this is oh who knows what the hell this match is going to bring it could be this could be a card fest this could be a try fest um it could be a lot of disappointment uh so um get it into zero zero draw somehow um unlikely um they won't fuck up that much but like file agi yes um probably, you know, the front row at this point, because they're kind of even at this point.
00:19:49
Grumpy Old Prop
So I wouldn't mind it, but at the same time, I'm just not seeing anybody else from Moana who I want on my team besides Fai Laghi at the moment.
00:19:50
Jarrod Dyke
you
00:20:03
Grumpy Old Prop
um It's been, it's been tough.
00:20:04
Jarrod Dyke
tell my flow you never to game last game but
00:20:08
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Yeah, i guess. Yeah. um I guess I could go. to yeah fair i'd stick with him but this week i might be looking elsewhere anyway because i i just i don't when these two teams play each other i just it feels like it's the people that you least expect the guys you won't you won't want to sign for one week you who go off because everyone else is just like yeah okay time of follows is well the probably their best back at this point all right let's just smash him for a bit and make someone else uh play with the ball and
00:20:27
Jarrod Dyke
ah That's true.
00:20:39
Jarrod Dyke
Beat us, yeah. Yeah, definitely.
00:20:42
Grumpy Old Prop
And, you know, same thing on the other side, like Logan Amasi, great player, but then, you know, they they do at the same time have Rakuro and Rabatou who can play. um I'm sorry, Ravula seems to be the guy at this point.
00:20:50
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:20:53
Grumpy Old Prop
They kind of moved away from Munster. I'm not sure if he's been hurt, but um I appreciate it.
00:20:55
Jarrod Dyke
I've noticed that, yeah.
00:20:59
Grumpy Old Prop
I think Ravula is doing a good job and I think he'll continue to do that. um and I realize I'm going backwards, but Nisilisila is, um I think he's pretty much locked into my super rugby team at this point, whether he's starting or or in my reserves because I have someone else. But um that's a good spot for a lock from the Druid. So you're not, you're not going to go all in on Druid players.
00:21:22
Grumpy Old Prop
um And it helps you get a productive player.
00:21:22
Jarrod Dyke
All right, no, no.
00:21:24
Grumpy Old Prop
think he's still one of the top scoring locks in the comp. So um he should be on your team.
00:21:30
Jarrod Dyke
can tell you tomorrow.
00:21:35
Jarrod Dyke
All right, Highlanders Crusaders. For the Landers, moving right out of the the power pack and on to Falafakatava. Umaga Jensen is is worth the shout.
00:21:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:21:48
Jarrod Dyke
um If he's healthy, Tangatao. Tavatavanawa, yes. um Nareki came off last game a little bit banged up, so we'll see if he starts. But if he's in, he's in. He should be in your team.
00:21:59
Jarrod Dyke
On the other side of it, DeGroote, Fabian Holland, Tane Robinson, meh. Sam Gilbert should be an FRD only start for most of you out there because he does, if he's starting, he's going to kick. So that'll be at least that little bit of boost there.
00:22:13
Jarrod Dyke
um For the Crusaders. plenty to pick from tamati williams newell one on new taylor which means it's a super green light for the crusaders front row um i still like chalphoon a little bit leo willie's been playing really well blackheader is worth it god damn it who knew um if he starts james o'connor yep um
00:22:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:22:35
Jarrod Dyke
Jordan, the kid that wears 14 usually. and then on the set side, Scott Barrett. And if he ends up being in there, Kyle Preston. don't think he will be this week, but if he ends up, he's, you had one decent game and then he just fell off cliff.
00:22:54
Jarrod Dyke
No, thank you.
00:22:56
Grumpy Old Prop
No. Wrong tab. um Brumby's hosting the Hurricanes. so
00:23:03
Grumpy Old Prop
For the hosts, um yeah, Allen Alatoa, always a ah quality you have on your team.
00:23:07
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:23:10
Grumpy Old Prop
Frost and Hooper are... are maybes um obviously we're we're um we're on with with uh or we're in with rob valentini uh lola ceo i know you've you've mentioned him being a disappointment recently and can't really blame you i think he actually yeah i think he um he should bounce back all right and then really in the backs it's tool and right um even if your head's somehow been scoring i it's not gonna it's
00:23:22
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:23:26
Jarrod Dyke
This will be a get-right game for him. It's okay. Mm-hmm.
00:23:42
Grumpy Old Prop
don't Don't buy it yet. Because if you've noticed, he he did score, but then he kind of fell off. Like his average, I think, is still pretty good, even though um it's boosted by a couple of good matches early.
00:23:54
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that's probably true.
00:23:54
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:23:56
Grumpy Old Prop
On the other side, for the Canes, the front row, Oumuamua is going to get loose at some point. um did he Is he hurt? I know he came off early.
00:24:06
Jarrod Dyke
He came off banged up. I think it was an HIA that he failed.
00:24:09
Jarrod Dyke
So we'll see what happens with him.
00:24:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay, so we'll see if he even plays.
00:24:12
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:24:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:24:13
Grumpy Old Prop
But that shouldn't stop you from, ah especially in like an FRD taking their front row and running with them. um
00:24:19
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:24:20
Grumpy Old Prop
Dewey is still playing pretty damn well somehow.
00:24:23
Jarrod Dyke
Thank God.
00:24:24
Grumpy Old Prop
um Brad Shields, not so much. um he he's He's so embarrassed he's even hiding his face in the middle of games now. Yeah.
00:24:34
Jarrod Dyke
I wanted to laugh at that, but there was already so much shithousery happening, I was already annoyed.
00:24:36
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:24:38
Jarrod Dyke
was like, listen, if this was if this game was at least that a better less shithousing and like it was a better vibe to it, I would have laughed at that.
00:24:43
Grumpy Old Prop
o
00:24:45
Jarrod Dyke
But because it was just ridiculousness after ridiculousness already at that point, fuck you, Damon Murphy, I would have laughed at it otherwise.
00:24:53
Jarrod Dyke
Because, yes, it was funny. I'm sure you did.
00:24:53
Grumpy Old Prop
ah
00:24:55
Grumpy Old Prop
I laughed. oh And the and then Roy Gard and I'd still go with love.
00:25:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:25:05
Grumpy Old Prop
I hopefully, I don't know.
00:25:05
Jarrod Dyke
Nahal if he's healthy.
00:25:08
Grumpy Old Prop
I hope they give him back the tea. Or give him the tea.
00:25:10
Jarrod Dyke
Well, I hope God, I hope fucking Godfrey's healthy soon.
00:25:13
Jarrod Dyke
Jeez, that would be huge.
00:25:13
Grumpy Old Prop
That too.
00:25:14
Grumpy Old Prop
That would help.
00:25:16
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, that would be extremely big. All right, OT dubs.
Start of the Week and Conclusion
00:25:21
Jarrod Dyke
So I've gone my start of the week. ah Team that surrenders plenty of points, guy that scores plenty of them, even when he doesn't score a try because he just eats meters.
00:25:33
Jarrod Dyke
My star looks going be Sean Stevenson.
00:25:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep. That's a good one. um My start of the week is from that match. And surprise, surprise, it's Damian McKenzie.
00:25:42
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Should be fairly good pickings there.
00:25:49
Jarrod Dyke
That's it.
00:25:49
Grumpy Old Prop
You're
00:25:50
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah of the Week.
00:25:50
Jarrod Dyke
um Well, disappointed with him so far and playing... in another tough game where in a team that doesn't surrender all that many fantasy points, yes, sometimes they do, but not that many.
00:26:02
Jarrod Dyke
And at home it's worse. um Yeah. My set of weeks can be Reuben love, unfortunately.
00:26:11
Grumpy Old Prop
um ah Oddly enough, my sit of the week is from that match as well. um And it's the the proctor. The proctologist.
00:26:20
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. well We'll see.
00:26:22
Jarrod Dyke
We played well when he came on.
00:26:22
Grumpy Old Prop
i
00:26:24
Grumpy Old Prop
ah He did. um i think it's it's not nothing against him. I think it's it's more um ah opposition based.
00:26:31
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, what's going on in the midfield there?
00:26:32
Grumpy Old Prop
that like don't Don't take the bait this week. wait Wait a week.
00:26:37
Jarrod Dyke

00:26:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, you can't have fun out there.
00:26:47
Jarrod Dyke
