Jarrod Dyke: Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fantasy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm Ben Glauser.
Jarrod Dyke: It's Fantasy Corner Time. Away we go, and off we go. um Let's tuck into Champion Yanks League standings. Premiership first.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: And then there's about like 70 points between Aubrey and myself with with Franco between us.
Jarrod Dyke: wow
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Down Super Rugby Way.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: Justin. Oh, OK.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Mark's doing a lot of work trying to hold on to that last spot, apparently.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: And then the D2s, we don't have everybody in the... ah We still don't have everybody in the pool.
Jarrod Dyke: Sad.
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: So top four. Need the other four.
Jarrod Dyke: You don't have to that. You got half the unit in there.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: We did not.
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...
Jarrod Dyke: different competition next year, provided we can get the data we got this year, and that'll really be awesome.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Duncan was in third, and then some other assholes were rounding up the top two somewhere.
Grumpy Old Prop: Winning our own game. Hell yeah.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: I don't know. I just remember finishing second this year.
Jarrod Dyke: was...
Grumpy Old Prop: That's all that matters to me. Yeah.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah Jared, are they the first ever 1,000-point scorer in this competition?
Jarrod Dyke: I mean, yes, because we had no numbers last year.
Grumpy Old Prop: There we go. the Stop. ah You don't have to say.
Jarrod Dyke: today
Grumpy Old Prop: You just end with a yes. You need to keep going.
Jarrod Dyke: but I'm not one to brag.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
Jarrod Dyke: Am I happy? Yes. Am I one to brag? Not only.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: You say yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: and it's the truth you say yes
Jarrod Dyke: someone asks if you're a god you say yes all right um starts and sets for let's start with the prem uh sales saracens friday night for the sharks um if i need to tell you after the last pod to start asher poka for joy and you have new team you need help um rod's also go lcd sure
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep.
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.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: No.
Jarrod Dyke: Nah.
Grumpy Old Prop: no
Jarrod Dyke: um For the Saracens. ah By the way, Sale are one of the toughest, if not the toughest defense in premiership fantasy.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: um
Grumpy Old Prop: Elliot especially.
Jarrod Dyke: Jenks, Tizen,
Grumpy Old Prop: He's such a...
Jarrod Dyke: mm-hmm.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, absolutely. um Yeah, no, no jinx. No, it is. No, I haven't been so.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. Good calls there. um Okay. To the wreck. Bath hosting Newcastle. Um...
Jarrod Dyke: and Can't imagine where this goes. Newcastle are back to being the worst fantasy team, by the way.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: um For the bath team.
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.
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: No.
Grumpy Old Prop: it's a little bit of ah a toss up there.
Jarrod Dyke: No, no, no. Nope.
Grumpy Old Prop: But the the back the back row here. Yes. um
Grumpy Old Prop: Not so much Spencer.
Jarrod Dyke: nope
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...
Grumpy Old Prop: um is cooking sayinger Is he injured or is that just is that um was he just rested?
Jarrod Dyke: I think that was my choice.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay. Oh, fuck.
Jarrod Dyke: ah think that was my choice. You may be a little hanged up.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: You did.
Grumpy Old Prop: There you go.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: He's only one. Is he one unit in this thing?
Grumpy Old Prop: I think so. It sounds right.
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Bye, Ben Youngs. Won't see you after the season. Not sad about it. Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: No, I would have been if he had retired like five or six years ago.
Jarrod Dyke: and
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, one sec. Off to, oh, Northampton hosting Bristol, which should be a hell of a punch-up.
Jarrod Dyke: Pretty good. Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: I would say lots of points um go deep in this match.
Jarrod Dyke: Lots of points.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep. We got a rehearsal last week, yeah.
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?
Jarrod Dyke: No, he... I think that was precautionary.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: um Because he was still kind of limping later in the match, too.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: like He kind of was all right after half, but it wasn't looking great for the whole match.
Jarrod Dyke: He was...
Grumpy Old Prop: um And then they're they're back. you know Freeman, Slytholm.
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.
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: yeah Yep, yep.
Jarrod Dyke: Alright, Gloucester and gloster on the shitbags.
Jarrod Dyke: For Gloucester. um
Jarrod Dyke: ah Singles, Freddie Thomas, Clement, Thomas Williams, ah maybe George Barton if he's playing a 10.
Grumpy Old Prop: o
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: um Sits for the Cherries. um For Sogbon and Anscombe.
Grumpy Old Prop: There you
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.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: you go
Jarrod Dyke: OT Dubs.
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: I'm going to go with Freddie Stewart as my start of the week.
Grumpy Old Prop: Not a bad call either.
Jarrod Dyke: Nope.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: a
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: Last week, notwithstanding.
Jarrod Dyke: No, apart from last week. Yeah. less But again, we were talking about, they're probably little banged up.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: And that would be something he would be there he would do that would think would suddenly make it better.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: And I don't see that being any. So either one of them starts, I would not play them at all.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Pass. Hard pass.
Jarrod Dyke: I say he'd hear you and frigging give you the finger.
Jarrod Dyke: That's just delicious how that would work out.
Grumpy Old Prop: that That would call into question my, you know.
Grumpy Old Prop: Is that what I wanted?
Jarrod Dyke: ah
Grumpy Old Prop: So, and I don't want to be, don't want to be there.
Jarrod Dyke: Super.
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
Jarrod Dyke: but Fair. Fair. um Yeah, let's go to Super.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: It is.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: I
Grumpy Old Prop: Honestly, from from the nine out. um Yeah, go for it. Although this is a game, I think, I'm sorry.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Jarrod Dyke: I got rejig everything and make sure it's not all fucked up, but they they should surrender points.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. Oh.
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.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: Oh, and then for the other side, the force.
Jarrod Dyke: Anything for Forrest?
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. um Like,
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.
Jarrod Dyke: I'd put Potter in there.
Grumpy Old Prop: I think, but yeah, yeah right it it could happen, but I wouldn't i wouldn't bank on it.
Jarrod Dyke: But not... No.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: No.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: right, right, right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hence why I was just ready to move on without them.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Uh, maybe he is. haven't seen him for a minute. Also, they were off last week.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, I haven't either.
Jarrod Dyke: So that's probably, that's probably what hurt him.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's been really annoying.
Jarrod Dyke: Um, Tate and Lina as well.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: Um,
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
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.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: All
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Womp womp.
Grumpy Old Prop: right, then I guess we're on to Moana hosting the Druah.
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm..
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.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: you
Grumpy Old Prop: um It's been, it's been tough.
Jarrod Dyke: tell my flow you never to game last game but
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
Jarrod Dyke: ah That's true.
Jarrod Dyke: Beat us, yeah. Yeah, definitely.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: They kind of moved away from Munster. I'm not sure if he's been hurt, but um I appreciate it.
Jarrod Dyke: I've noticed that, yeah.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: um And it helps you get a productive player.
Jarrod Dyke: All right, no, no.
Grumpy Old Prop: think he's still one of the top scoring locks in the comp. So um he should be on your team.
Jarrod Dyke: can tell you tomorrow.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
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.
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.
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
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm-hmm.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: No, thank you.
Grumpy Old Prop: No. Wrong tab. um Brumby's hosting the Hurricanes. so
Grumpy Old Prop: For the hosts, um yeah, Allen Alatoa, always a ah quality you have on your team.
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm.
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
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm.
Jarrod Dyke: This will be a get-right game for him. It's okay. Mm-hmm.
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: um
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, that's probably true.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: He came off banged up. I think it was an HIA that he failed.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay, so we'll see if he even plays.
Jarrod Dyke: So we'll see what happens with him.
Grumpy Old Prop: um
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
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
Jarrod Dyke: Mm-hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: Dewey is still playing pretty damn well somehow.
Jarrod Dyke: Thank God.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: I wanted to laugh at that, but there was already so much shithousery happening, I was already annoyed.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: o
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.
Grumpy Old Prop: ah
Jarrod Dyke: Because, yes, it was funny. I'm sure you did.
Grumpy Old Prop: I laughed. oh And the and then Roy Gard and I'd still go with love.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: I hopefully, I don't know.
Jarrod Dyke: Nahal if he's healthy.
Grumpy Old Prop: I hope they give him back the tea. Or give him the tea.
Jarrod Dyke: Well, I hope God, I hope fucking Godfrey's healthy soon.
Grumpy Old Prop: That too.
Jarrod Dyke: Jeez, that would be huge.
Grumpy Old Prop: That would help.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, that would be extremely big. All right, OT dubs. 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.
Jarrod Dyke: My star looks going be Sean Stevenson.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. Should be fairly good pickings there.
Grumpy Old Prop: You're
Jarrod Dyke: That's it.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah of the Week.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: And at home it's worse. um Yeah. My set of weeks can be Reuben love, unfortunately.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah. well We'll see.
Grumpy Old Prop: i
Jarrod Dyke: We played well when he came on.
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.
Jarrod Dyke: Yeah, what's going on in the midfield there?
Grumpy Old Prop: that like don't Don't take the bait this week. wait Wait a week.
Jarrod Dyke: Billy!
Grumpy Old Prop: Sorry.
Jarrod Dyke: Billy!
Jarrod Dyke: I was just happy to see him back out there, and he was he had the bit between his teeth. He was ready to go.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, you can't have fun out there.
Jarrod Dyke: Yep. All right. Look at that We got an actual fantasy corner in. All right. Go us.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's been a little bit.
