It is.
Introduction and Fantasy Rugby Draft Overview
00:00:05
Speaker
The Fantasy Robias. My name is Jared Dyke. I wanted to say it's stupid and let's move on, but then you kept going. I'm Ben Glauser. I don't like any way anybody handled that. Collusion. Collusion.
00:00:24
Speaker
All
Champions League as the Main Focus
00:00:25
Speaker
right. Here we go. Everybody. It is FRD draft time. Uh, as, as we all know, champion's league is our main league here that we're running with here for the live draft. Certainly the highest stakes of what we play.
Expert Insights and Premier League Excitement
00:00:38
Speaker
So if you, if you have, if you didn't know, if you didn't guess Ben and I are joined, joined by our good friend, the man, the myth, the legends, the fancy rugby, geep, George, George, but I'm so happy to have you here again. Good evening, lads. It's great to be here.
00:00:51
Speaker
Ben, congratulations on last season, mate. I thought I was going to pick you at the end. I thought I got you right at the end in the TRM.
00:00:59
Speaker
It was certainly an honor to take that league though. It's one thing to be in this. It's high pressure enough, but yeah, that was fun to win. Yeah. So thanks for your advice along the way, helping me to be much appreciated. Yeah. Good job. Yeah. Good job. Good job. Well, it's good to be here. It's good to be back on prem as well.
00:01:21
Speaker
Yeah. Prime FRD return. Been a long time. And, you know, with the FRD rankings as they are, it's going to be an interesting session, I think. And given what we know, like, fuck anything, like there's so much that could happen.
Draft Strategy and Player Viability
00:01:42
Speaker
What do we know? We don't know shit at this point. Like you get your, your guess is as good as ours at this point, honestly.
00:01:49
Speaker
What are you guys thinking of Worcester Plaza? Are you just going to go anywhere near them or?
00:01:53
Speaker
I wasn't really going to go anywhere near them anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe Gareth Simpson as a, as a nine. Yeah. Nine that likes to run about a bit. So those guys to me and like Finn Smith. Yes. Like right. But those are guys like they're back. Like I wouldn't shy away from them at this point. Yeah. Like, you know, when it's time to pick Finn Smith, I'll pick 10 Smith's like, but there's just, I'm not going to be joining the, you know, yeah. They're top level players. I'm not going to be.
00:02:22
Speaker
I heard a rumor. I think Finn Smith might be off to Northampton, if I'm not wrong with that. I've been hearing that. Did he sign? He signed, but then I think once they promised the paycheck, it was... The contract got torn up. Right.
00:02:41
Speaker
Yeah, because I did hear that. And I wondered if that was part of the breach of contract that they were that he was trying to go somewhere else. Yeah, you know, I wouldn't besmirch any player that wanted to do that at that point either. So, so they got Fergus Lee Warner there as well. They do ever reliable, although he's a loose forward in here. He was always like a really handy lock pick in super upbeat.
00:03:03
Speaker
But, um, could you imagine though, moving your family, like continents to come. And then all of a sudden it's like, Oh, you might not have a job here. Yeah, that would be pretty, pretty, uh, pretty brutal. Pretty awful. Yeah.
Participants and Draft Strategy Discussion
00:03:16
Speaker
So who's, who have we got in the league? Who's, who's salaried craps? That's Mark. Mark Duncan, Justin, myself.
00:03:27
Speaker
We've been followed by George, so this will be fun to see who sniped who. Our new boy, Cobus. Perfect. It can be any better. No way to snipe your pics, George.
00:03:42
Speaker
Yeah, Anton. Anton is a killer. He's definitely the sniper, Anton. He's got that tap working. The thing is, he was always far enough away from me that the guys he would pick, I was like, they're not coming back to me anyway. One of these guys, this murderer's row, is going to grab him. So he never really got a chance to snipe me. But oh, did I? Oh, yeah. He was certainly quite the prolific sniper.
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah, he really was. Very fortunate to be drafting nowhere near him every, every time, every time. Like shockingly never, he's never sniped me because he's man. We, we messed that up then. He's done enough damage to me over the years. All right. Your team is on the clock. And we're off. All right. Says Mark's offline, but I'm guessing that's a wrong thing. Cause there goes that. There we go. Yep. Max mail-ins off the board.
00:04:37
Speaker
And I'm gonna open up the pics on the side here. Let's see. So who is Duncan go with food is Duncan deal with I'm curious about this. Oh, wait, what? Okay. Simmons, Sam Simmons. All right. So I like what I'm going to what's going to happen here for me one way or the other. I don't like that. I was I kind of had I
00:05:05
Speaker
Well, you're going to get something good that falls to you anyway. Yeah. That makes my pick for me. Right. Please. And thank you later. Nice. I'm not mad about that. I was I was hoping I'd get him and I wasn't sure because it would mean somebody would have to go just a little bit off from what's in front. But yeah, not mad about that at all. All right, Ben, what do you got going Andre? All right.
00:05:35
Speaker
Andre. Wow. Okay. That would actually, man. Interesting.
00:05:43
Speaker
I had to change my plans. Yeah, you guys, whatever. What the fuck did I know? I'm just it's a it's a position where it's hard to get a good guy or guy who scores. OK, AJ, I'm going for your boy. See, I was kind of hoping he'd sneak back around. I love AJ. I don't I don't love his international team right now, but I love him. No, yeah. What a bunch of helmets that is. It's very depressing the fact that he who shall not be named is actually a fairly
00:06:11
Speaker
decent pick in this. Cause I'll let somebody else take them. There you go. All right. You fit. You would. He feels dirty about that. I'm sure. Yeah. Nope. Yeah. It's like, um, what's his, but at the same time angles in NFL mixing, I can't pick him. Yeah. Oh man. Watching that video when he hauled off on that woman, I was like, nope.
00:06:30
Speaker
Sorry, I'll let somebody else have it. Oh, right. That's how the garbage he is, too. Jeez, there's a couple of them out there. Of course, Ben's Ben's old quarterback. Yeah, glad he was on so that he's that old shithead.
Challenges with Draft Picks and Player Reliability
00:06:45
Speaker
All right, Carrick's got some interesting things here. You got to double pick. And Carrick Carrick has been crunching the stats as well. He's been doing I noticed that his research. I bet he's got a spreadsheet in front of him right now.
00:07:02
Speaker
Yeah, he's referencing his crystal ball right now. Let's see what we got here. 30 seconds here.
00:07:19
Speaker
Yesterraes. Yesterraes. There you go. What's Justin going with there? Trying to understand. I'm thick. I can't help it. I'm pending now. Yesterraes. That might work. There you go. Wow, he's gone away from the Justin Credibles.
00:07:47
Speaker
Oh no. Oh, Carrick. Carrick, you go to sleep, dude? Oh, that's, yeah. You must've fallen asleep. Yeah, that was an expiration. He's got another one. See if he wakes up. Wake up, man. Oh, Carrick.
00:08:12
Speaker
That's the problem with doing seven jobs at the same time. Yeah. Only got George Ford. Yeah. Got speed. Um, not back till at least three years. Oh, both of them, both Patty and George. They're both off. Yeah. Oh no. Oh, sorry. Cause Cobus. Okay. Got it. Okay. Selected cadence Ford. Well, Ford, you got,
00:08:43
Speaker
I mean, Caden's not a bad yet at this point. I hovered over him. He's in that sweet spot of quality player playing every week, not really under threat of international action. Right, right. Yeah, Wi-Fi issues. Oh, man. I've just seen
00:09:10
Speaker
Oh shit. No, no. Oh no. Oh, sorry, Carrick. No, he might, he might get cayed in auto. He might get cayed in auto. He did.
Strategic Reflections and International Play Impacts
00:09:23
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Okay. That's good. Cause he's already got a fly off. That's good. Yep. Worked out all right. Hopefully he can get, he's got, he's got a little time to sort out the wifi now. Yeah. Sometimes with FRD, you just got to close it and just start all over again. That's true. That's true. In and out.
00:09:41
Speaker
It'll work eventually. That's what they tell me. At least it's merely gone. Do you do? See, I can't even talk about who I want to draft here. No, you can't. Can't say a goddamn word. Wow. Oh, that's a great one. That'll turn out. Okay. Okay. So I can get the guy I wanted all along anyway.
00:10:11
Speaker
Oh, I didn't snipe you there. No. Semi. I want semi. OK. I hate to break it to you, Ben, but I think he's out until November. But you're all good. You're fine. You're fine. Oh, shit. OK. All right, now I'm pissed. All right, I'm torn between. In just semi. Nice.
00:10:41
Speaker
Yeah, there you go, Justin. Yeah. Pour it on, guys. It's okay. Shit. Sorry, Ben, name pending. I thought that was, I thought that was Justin. Nope. No, that's me. No, no, no, no. That's this one. Right. Right. All right. Somebody that's played consistency or somebody that's high level. That's the question now.
00:11:10
Speaker
I'm going to go with the high level and I'll build and I'll backfill later. Yeah. So right. Who would you handcuff Farrow with? Cause they often, they flip-flop between Gooch, Vinapola. I think I'm just going to go away from series in general in terms of who I find as a backup for that. Cause I just, I don't trust it right now. Justin has Marcus Smith and Chuck Peter.
00:11:42
Speaker
Fuck you. Yeah. Peter, I was next to my list. He's right. I mentioned that as a team Smith, Peter running off Smith. That'd be fun. Ollie has on Collins. Okay. That's smart. I was. Yeah. Cause he's not really on Eddie's radar either. So. Verbank way too high on this list.
Player Analysis and Draft Value Debates
00:12:06
Speaker
Eddie loves them. And he doesn't necessarily produce that well. He does love him.
00:12:12
Speaker
Doesn't make any sense. Nope. I'll pass on that. All right. Um, Mark. Hmm. All right. So I got my thoughts. I think I know who my next, what my next position is. And then I got to start freaking dumping into one position in particular. I'm going to struggle not to take any of these flyhaves that are up there.
00:12:36
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I think Hastings above Simmons is a little bit harsh on Simmons. Yeah. I mean, Simmons is going to play. He'll play every match. Just about. Yeah. Hastings will miss time with Scotland. I assume not all the time, but enough to make a big difference. I think he's the choice Scottish because they got obviously Finn number one. Blair King Hong. They like it 10.
00:13:02
Speaker
Okay, whatever you want buddy, I like him as a as a player in general, but I don't know about a 10. Yeah, he's not
00:13:11
Speaker
It was Simmons just went. There's Joe Simmons. Don't bring it to you. Okay. It's a good pick. Yeah. And dunk back around. When's Pollard supposed to, is he, does he, he is injured, but I think I don't know if he's going to be. It's a month. He might be healthy enough in time for the fricking poll internationals. Yeah. So if you're going to pick him, you need a backup. You need a backup. Yeah. It's dropping off the board. They are.
00:13:40
Speaker
fallen quick. All right. I know. All right. I'm going to, I feel good about where I'm at right now. Let's do this. I know what I want, what I really, really want, but if I don't get it, I got a backup plan. Yay. All right. Who just went Rona? Okay. Give me, give me, tell me for him. Yeah, that's a good, good call.
00:14:09
Speaker
but I really, really want, cause outside backs are so key in this whole thing. And if you go without getting anybody in the, any of the top 15 outside backs, you will be struggling. You'll be, you'll be doing rotation all frigging season, which is a bitch. And I've done that before and I hated it. So I'm at least getting one that I can mostly count on. There are a few gems a bit further down the pecking order. Oh, no doubt.
00:14:46
Speaker
He would not admit it to you Well, he would have cuz I think that was gonna be who George was picking right now Alex Mitchell there sniper me
00:15:03
Speaker
Okay. Good luck. Right. There's kind of the starting tenet up in Newcastle right now. Where's it going to be skimming? Right. Where's the
00:15:32
Speaker
Yeah, this is getting very close now. Yeah. I'm just going to go for this absolute beast. Okay. Okay. I like truck. A little trucky action. Yeah. Trucky truck. Hmm. Does that come in high or is that, are my nuts?
00:16:01
Speaker
He's high. Yeah. Yeah. You can trust me. He's high. To the cloud. We know our own. He should be nowhere near there. Furbank goes. Furbank, okay. Who got Furbank?
00:16:19
Speaker
Um, um, okay. So it sounds like Carrick's back into it. You grabbed a magga. So that must be a backup to Ford, obviously. Cause what are they playing for a wee bit? They're going to, they're going to rotate the tens at wasps as well. And isn't the young kid that used to be at new castle there too now? Yeah. Um, Hayden would. Yeah.
Potential Roles and Team Contributions
00:16:46
Speaker
Yeah. They got that. They got options.
00:16:50
Speaker
I mean, I like Atkinson. I thought you kids got some stones on him. I'll give him that. Do, do, do, do back to Cobus. So Tom Willis is off the board quality pick. Yeah. When he's, when he's in, he's good DDP. That's a good pick. As far as those forwards go, that is not terrible. Plays most weeks, whatever reason South Africa, I want nothing to do with them.
00:17:19
Speaker
So whatever. All right, George, what we got? OK, we're back on. Right. I get a feeling this guy probably won't actually play much for England.
00:17:38
Speaker
Again, DC. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think after his summer, that dream might be over, but he's still just a quality option. I mean, when he's in there or is this bigger injured or is there a reason that he's. Well, he's going to be away with whales for automated spring. So that's the only turn off with that. Yeah. Well, international penalty. There you go. As long as you have a B option, it's fine. Right. I'll sort it out.
00:18:09
Speaker
Do, do, do. All right. Who just went rapid, rapid. Hmm. Nice. He'll play every week. Yeah. Yeah. He's not going anywhere. He's got two centers now that'll fucking make life miserable for most people. Yeah. I knew Justin would go for cat. He loves, he loves a bit of cat. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm off him. So all yours, Justin, have fun. If I, if I'm proven wrong, I will, I will eat my hat, but all his for now.
00:18:39
Speaker
Well, with O flatty gone. Yep. Woodburn still there. Yes. And Knoll, if he stays fit, would probably be first choice in the wings. The knife. Facundo, like Facundo. What's his butt for the young kid? Hot. What the fuck? Yeah. Like young babies that run like the wind instead of.
00:19:03
Speaker
Yeah, they didn't need him. They did not need Sicata. No, they definitely didn't need him. That's a good pick. Although he's going to be away with England here and there. Lina, there he goes. Yeah, I was looking at him coming around. There goes that. Oh, well. It's a good one. Just the same. All right. The first from Harry's front row.
00:19:24
Speaker
OK. All right. That's not bad. They're not going anywhere. No, I mean, they're always going to be good because they've got quality players top to bottom. So excuse me. Well, like Wilson Croft is not anywhere near anybody's international radar. And he's such a great hooker. So, you know, scores tries. Yes, he does.
00:19:46
Speaker
Yeah, he does. And now that they have, you know, Theo and Tiz to play second row when, you know, Maro's away, you know, the sequence hurt right now, which sucks. So let's hope his hands are a bit better this year. Dude could not catch a cold in that semi. Oh my God. Oh, poor guy. Poor guy. All right. What do we got, Justin?
00:20:16
Speaker
Hit me with the US one. Do do do do do. Let's see. I am at a loss for what to do here. I'm not. He's still he's pondering still. Yeah, I just have too many options.
00:20:45
Speaker
Well, shut up. Hotch. Interesting. He did come into form. So that's not a terrible pick. Okay. I don't trust. I don't trust Benard.
00:21:06
Speaker
Maybe he turns into this otherworldly. He scored well in TRM, but I'm not sure he's going to score great in FRD. I just don't know what he's going to do. He runs meters, and he scored some tries. So I think that's why he scored points. Yeah. Yeah. I don't entirely trust it, so I'm going to go with, and I'm kind of putting myself in their corner here with the series, but I'm going to go with Tom up for now. Yeah. All right. I'm saying nothing wrong with that.
00:21:37
Speaker
I don't think there's anything wrong with making this pick. So I'm going to make this pick. Nope. Yeah. Yeah. Just, just international, but otherwise. Yeah. Otherwise, like, I mean, Louis re-Semitism when he's in, he could potentially win you matches. Like that's ridiculous. And he does it on his own too sometimes. Right. We do have to bear in mind how many matches there are now. So how it's not quite the same impact when they're away. Right.
00:22:04
Speaker
Can we, can we like gauge how many points you get if he doesn't hit second gear? Cause sometimes you wonder if he's actually hit into another gear. Cause he doesn't know when he's jogging and he's, he looks so quick. It's unbelievable. Yeah. Just people falling behind him. And it's like, dude, he doesn't even look like he's sprinting. Oh man. Oh, clarity.
00:22:29
Speaker
Well, we'll see what kind of play he gets. That's the only thing. I don't know what the team's going to look like until Ford comes back. When Ford comes back, I mean, we saw what their wings did last year with Reed and what was his butt, Daugherty, and then sometimes Luke James.
00:22:47
Speaker
It's not to say it's not there, especially with a quality fly half option. Dingle and Bristol front row. Dings. All right. Dings. Yeah. I was looking at Bristol next. I can get into the dings, the dings walls, the dings. Hmm. I have to load up on a couple of things coming up here, but.
00:23:17
Speaker
Yeah. Depending on what falls to me.
00:23:26
Speaker
OK, I think I know what I'm going to do. So I mean, nothing gets bottled. I know what I'm going to do, but I'm not going to say anything because you got the two of us on either side of you. So I can't say anything at all. Until you get to your pit, you cannot say a fucking word.
00:23:49
Speaker
This is great. We should do this every time. Yeah, totally. Totally. Ben, no matter where Ben picks, George and I are on either side. That's what we'll do every time. Ben, you're very quiet. What's going on? I can't say shit. I'll ask your opinion live here. George, what did you think of the new opening? Love it. Love it.
00:24:17
Speaker
Apparently we giggle a lot. I listened to it. I was just like, Oh yeah, I like that. I like that. Solid intro. Nice move. Very slick. Clue that's ended. Come on. If you, if you haven't seen the league, which is an American show. All right. Yeah. That's, that's, that's like the reference on that one. Oh, Lester front. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I get to take my wasps for you Ben.
00:24:48
Speaker
That was my idea. That was my next idea. Fuck it up. I don't get to say much, but just... You can still do that! ...figures all around. God damn it. Ah, fuck. Alright, well, that leaves...
00:25:05
Speaker
God damn it. And I don't like those. I don't like any other option right now. As it stands. I love that it's the just the front row. Like, hmm. Excellent. Thank you. No worries. Yeah, it's all of them serve in today, because especially with wasps, they just throw out like, you know, their third line, fourth line hooker. Yeah, it's like production. It's ridiculous. Yeah, I guess they'll they'll stick in the back row a fair bit as well.
00:25:33
Speaker
Oh, that's also true. That's also true, because he's not listed as a back rower right now. Right. No, he's not. OK, then. Interesting. Power to me. I'm not proud of you at all. I don't like that. Hmm. Yeah. All right. We're doing this. I got my back three sorted. Oh, OK.
00:26:01
Speaker
Yeah, I need to work on my back for you. That's, I'm thinking, yeah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking that though, that that'll look a little bit better this year. Orlando Bailey's got another year. Right. Um, he's going to, he seems to be locked into that, that 15th shirt for them. Now, um, what's the, is it Van Grine that's there now? Yeah. Yeah. All right. I like it. I like it.
00:26:32
Speaker
You didn't score well in TRM. So yeah, I don't think he's what's his value here. Yeah. I think he's a guy who has much more value in the actual game of rugby than he does. Agreed. Agreed. I don't disagree with that. Do do do. I can say that. Alfie. There he goes. Wanted to hold on now. OK. If he's healthy, he's he's unstoppable. Just got to stay healthy, which also means if I'm lost, I got to rotate him out.
00:27:02
Speaker
I got arrest. You got to arrest them because you know, find a spot to arrest them because you know, you got to keep them healthy because come playoff time here, you could be enormous if assuming they get there.
Player Health and Team Performance Management
00:27:14
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. They've just got to keep him, keep him not getting banged up. Right. You know, manage, manage the minutes. Yeah. You might, you might like. Okay. Renaissance pick there. Yeah.
00:27:30
Speaker
I was, it's actually the decent pick. Thoroughly. Yeah. Yeah. He is a decent pick. He could score well, but at the same time he disappears at times. And it's which one are you going to get? Right. Inconsistent. Unfortunately, yes. Yeah. Pain's me to say. Talk about a loose forward that's not worth a damn unless he falls over the line. Debuters.
00:27:58
Speaker
Oh, here's O'Connor. Another guy. That's, you know, that that's like a two flip of the coin picks when he's when he's when he's in. Right. You know, yeah. Well, he can be better with AJ, too. You know, AJ, him and Radraggio, whenever Radraggio is healthy and. Yeah, apparently, that's your noise of Midfield in this now. He is interesting. I just I can't.
00:28:29
Speaker
It feels like he stagnated a bit. Like he showed so much potential when he burst onto the scene. And Harry Potter. Harry Potter. You're a wizard, Harry. I don't know if he's a thumping good one anymore, though. No. He did a good disappearing act in the Champions Cup. No. That was magical. Altimer.
00:28:59
Speaker
Yup. Yup. Yup. Oh man. I'm waiting for like Mark or character to just take both Lester fly-offs. I just sat there. Jimmy Koppus. Is Koppus going to play? If they're smart, no. How did I can imagine? I can't, I don't know how he talked someone into paying him to play rugby. Yeah. Old man.
00:29:28
Speaker
All right, there's one. There's one. I think I'm going to take a flyer here. Yeah. Because why not? Could work out. That's all I need. Right. I will trust in this young man.
00:29:52
Speaker
for a little while, or at least when I don't need to. Yeah, he was on my looking at list. I'm going to take a flyer on Alex good. Okay. He could be 10. If he decides to run, he could be amazing.
00:30:10
Speaker
Right. Cause they found shop sex and what shop sex. Okay. For a boring, but reliable pet and the Hollywood burn burn. Yeah. Nope. He probably will play a bunch. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. It is the thing. Wait, somebody clarify how the hell did Joel Matt amazing become a half back? Did I miss that part?
00:30:38
Speaker
He's a host dog. Yeah. Let's use it back on this. So let's put it that way. Yeah, that's Aaron Dell. There we go. And there goes that one to tell on that. He would last. That's a diamond in zero. Yeah. Tom Collins. Yep. They're going to play Arendelle. Yes.
00:30:59
Speaker
Yeah, he's going to get a good summer. He's going to get a good season. Yeah. He'll sell tickets. He'll get bombs on seats, bombs in that seat over in Brentford. And they need that. So you guys, you guys should visit that stadium when you're over as well. Amazing place. I think it was Bernad. All right. That's not that, that, that spot. I'm okay with him there. Like as high as he was.
00:31:28
Speaker
Um, before that I'm okay with Benard there, but that I have no issue with. No question. Oh man, I don't like some of this stuff. Oh, hmm. All right. That's solid. So I don't need to fuck with that.
00:32:03
Speaker
Come on, Cobus, you can do it. Come on, Cobus. Northmore. Fuck, I just had that idea in my head. Northmore. I just had that idea in my head. Good pick. All right. It's time for me to handcuff my tens. Callum Sheedy. Yeah. Yeah. Make sure that you got one to cover the other.
00:32:27
Speaker
because AJ is going to disappear during the international window because the US is going to call him in, which sucks. Maybe Chidi will as well with Wales. He seems to be back up. At that point, who knows? Well, that will suck. Well, Anscombe's healthy now. True. As long as he's not broken. Anscombe, he's there too, isn't he? If I had my push comes to shove, Anscombe's my second choice while I have.
00:32:55
Speaker
Well, then at this point, I'm going to, I'm going to do what I said I would do earlier, which is what I'm taking Fin Smith. Oh, okay. I had him. I had an idea of him and then I took Bailey instead. So yeah, that's, that's kind of where I was. It was like one or the other. Yep. Okay. Um, well, before the East fly off the fricking shelf.
00:33:18
Speaker
take the front rows or the chef's front row there. There's not many left. Although I actually no longer have a problem calling the chiefs because they got rid of their racist bullshit as long as they're not doing the chant, then I'm okay with it. And now I just call them the chefs because it's funny. It's from the old commercial. Yeah, from the commercial. It's hilarious.
00:33:37
Speaker
Did you ever see the, I don't know if you saw the commercial over there, George, where somebody was spilling out chiefs in the end zone and they missed the eye. So it was chefs. I never saw that. Who are the chefs? Casey chefs. Yeah. It was an old Snickers commercial. Yes. That's what it was. Yeah. Uh, you're hung. Yeah. You're not, you and your hungry type of shit. Yeah. You're not going anywhere for a while. You got some shit to do. I have zero loose forwards. That's.
00:34:07
Speaker
That might be problematic for you. Dave, you're still on the board. He will be. Somebody else takes him. I'm not taking him. I'll tell you that much right now. Let's see. Did you see the times today did a interview of Lewis Ludlow?
00:34:29
Speaker
And they stuck Lewis Ludlam's picture. Oh, no. Again. Come on, man. It's not the first time they've done that. Right. Amateur hour, man. What do we got? Duhon. There he goes. There's our second Worcester player. Yeah. The second one. I mean, if he does leave Worcester, I'm not sure he'll stay in the prem.
00:34:57
Speaker
No, he's going to France. Yeah. He's going to France. He's going to go make some banks, make some euros. Yep. Dude's going to go get paid and I wouldn't blame him. Freddy burns. There goes Freddy. I hope that, I hope whoever has Pollard grabbed Freddy, unless that's different. Yep. It's different. Justin has Pollard. Whoopsie. Okay. Dio. He's going to play a lock for a little bit, but yeah. Interesting. Go play. Yeah. He's definitely going to play a lock here and there.
00:35:29
Speaker
But still he's going to get loose forward points when he gets to loose forward. Yeah. If he, if he, that intercept trial alone, we're going to win you a game from that game. Yeah. I think I order. Okay. Hmm. I wonder how he's going to score. Guy Porter. Be very interesting. Nice pick.
00:35:56
Speaker
Manu. Okay. Settled on who my pick is going to be. Oh, too laggy. Okay. If he's healthy. Yeah. You got too laggy. Duncan dead. Duncan.
00:36:12
Speaker
That's a risk, but it can play off. Justin's just picking all the super rugby legends. Well, legend, legend, that's a rugby names. Yes, definitely names. All right. He's not going
Player Potential and Team Dynamics
00:36:30
Speaker
to play right away, but I'm going to grab my second loose forward visa. It's going to be the big fella from South Africa. I'm going to take the big fella from England who's not going anywhere.
00:36:43
Speaker
William. William. Yeah. I have too many series. That's my only problem. I have two series. Tom and Farrell and Earl. Excuse me. So yeah. Yeah. You have many series. I only had two. I think that's enough. Yep. Yeah. Three was probably too many, but I think the players I grabbed were worth it.
00:37:04
Speaker
We got here. Chris Harris quality of it. Quality in the appreciation club. Yes. The appreciation society. Yep. Society on a club. Let's see what else. Oh, wow. Interesting here from here. Yeah. This is start throw time now because we're now debt less than half the draft to go. I now I'm nervous that somebody's going to snipe my, my next pick. They will. George.
00:37:39
Speaker
Better than yours, honestly. Better than yours. Better than my what? No, yours. Okay. That's an appropriate stop. And he's off at Christmas, isn't he?
00:38:01
Speaker
He's going to play his season the way he plays most of his matches. About half time he's going to... Fagundo Cordero. Fagundo. That's a good pick. I like that pick a lot. Yeah. Much like for that one.
00:38:29
Speaker
Geez. Yeah. I gotta start filling some of the spots here, freezing. Oh man. Oh, that's so gross. Nope. Nope. So much. Nope. God damn it. There's so much about what I don't like here. Fuck. That's annoying. Oh, that. Oh, okay. That's interesting.
00:38:57
Speaker
I'm not gonna pick him yet, but when he gets picked, I'm gonna... I shall discuss, but... Yes, yes, yes. I hate to tell you, Mark, you're not the person that's been sniped today. Oh, man. I'm just glad, I'm going like Joker mode, so I pretty much cannot be sniped, except I guess maybe for this pick.
00:39:25
Speaker
If you wait, I would consider that being sniped because this is the first time I've been like, nope, that's who I want. Hmm. Before, I've just been like, I have ideas. All right, Sam, we got. OK, Henry Slade. That's a good spot for him now. This is this is a fine time for him. Yeah, this kick sometimes. So that's he does which can. Oh, John, look at Priya. JLDP. Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. Has a lock. Yep. Freeze me up for.
00:39:55
Speaker
Maro. Yeah, I thought you're either looking at a lock or an outside back. I was just checking out the other city. And it was between DePruy and Maro, but it was the international absences. But Maro's going to more than make up for that when he's playing. And I'm not even going to bother to sign another lock. It's just if he's playing, he's in. If he's not, he's not. Yeah, that's pretty much the way to go with that one. Man, man, man.
00:40:26
Speaker
Now I can concentrate on loose forward because there's just so bad that many of them. Yeah, there are. There are. Well, it's a matter of can you find a good one? I hate all this for many reasons. Yeah. You know what? Hmm. Nope. I don't like that, actually. Bloody hell.
00:40:56
Speaker
Let's see. You know what? I have so many from the similar teams. I don't know if he's going to be healthy, but we're going to go with it. I Randall. Yeah. I need a nine. I need a nine. And he's my favorite one on the board right now. And if he's around, he's playing. So yep. Style from right. Not bad.
00:41:30
Speaker
Acker. At this point, that's fine too. As high as he was ranked, as high as they were ranked, this is a good spot for them with the likes of Acker, Taylor. That's not so bad, especially if Acker's healthy. Yeah. Wow, there he goes. Raffy. Young Raffy square.
00:42:04
Speaker
Nice pickup. Very. Hmm. Yeah. We'll be honest value pick later. Okay. Keep that under my head. Don't manage it again. What'd he do? He knows that there will be people after Raffy just waiting and waiting, waiting, thinking he's that far down the pecking order. Yeah. He's that far down the rankings tucked away. People have forgotten.
00:42:33
Speaker
Nope. Nope. Not this time. Not this time, Mark. I don't think that can get, got the Mark's pick on that one. The dog blue. Okay. Yeah. He was on my list. Yeah. I was waiting maybe in two rounds or so. I was toying. I was toying with that. I really was. Oh, excuse me. Um.
00:43:02
Speaker
I'm not picking them, so I'm going to just say this out loud. Like Tom Hendrickson could be a great pick if fucking Ian Whitten would go away. Like if Ian Whitten would just go the hell away, that would be awesome for Tom Hendrickson's eight. But because Rob Baxter is Rob Baxter and Ian Whitten still breathing. He loves Ian Whitten. Oh, Ebitoye. Okay. Our old friend.
00:43:28
Speaker
Which would be interesting. See how he does. Yeah. I wonder how he's been getting on in Israel. He's been out of the prem for a while. Right. I was so surprised when he left Queens that first time. Showed so much potential in that first season. He's just lost his way. Definitely. I'd like to see him get some time at Bristol.
00:43:50
Speaker
Maybe, maybe lost her. Right. That's good. They got this. They got, I got some good stuff in there. They got your mall, Ford Robinson. What else did I need? Plus those, those hookers and what's his name? It looks like a giant baby. Uh, our power Ruskin. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Final Strategies and Draft Completion
00:44:13
Speaker
Baby. Baby. Baby now.
00:44:23
Speaker
Oh man. I'm trying to avoid getting too many for the same team. Just those five weeks. Yep. That's right. There's Ackerman. Yeah. That's the other thing I'm worried about with series. It's like, yeah, I need to have a team week one. So, um,
00:44:45
Speaker
Well, I assume this guy's going to play because Garparth is gone. So I'm going to take Odin doll and see what happens. Yeah. At this, at this point in the draft, it's not a terrible place to try it. Um, and then I have other ideas for that spot as well. Do, do, do, do, do, do. What else do I need? I need everything. All right. Fitz Harding. It is.
00:45:16
Speaker
Yep. That's a quality one. If I hadn't gone Jasper, he was next on my list. Yeah. Okay. This guy's had his injury problems, but if he plays, he's class. Pick a high 80. Hang on a second. Oh, did someone take him already?
00:45:45
Speaker
I was looking for Jatt. I was looking for Jatt Willis. He's there. He's there. He's there. He's there. He's there. He's way down. I thought that I was like looking for him. Yeah. Yeah. I thought you were picking. You can write it his name. I was like, I'm waiting for it to go away. Yeah. Yeah. I can depart my screen anytime. Yeah. There it goes. And then.
00:46:14
Speaker
Interesting. All right. Yeah. I'm, I'm hoping my next pick sticks around and we'll see what, let's see what happens there, but quality is quality at this level at least Irish front row. That's Creevy. Creevy. Yeah. Yeah. Holly Huskins. Yep. That's not bad. Should, should end well. They had a three name or who played pretty well too.
00:46:48
Speaker
I don't remember. I can't remember his name. They're loose. Yeah. Well, good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.
00:47:35
Speaker
Yeah, that's that should be he'll play most weeks for for them. So in terms of getting a guy that's got play most weeks, it's not a good pick. Mm hmm.
00:47:57
Speaker
Slim pickings in the midst now. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Throw some, throw some darts. See what happens. Like there's a lot of players in here that have high potential with, you know, if they, if they were to be as they were two years ago in FRD prem, but we don't know if they're going to be, there goes urine. Okay. I'm not the, I'm not really a big fan of this guy, but he does play on the wing quite a lot and he is a mid.
00:48:28
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You know, another guy that could be good quality when he hits, but it's just a matter of, are they going to like,
00:48:37
Speaker
Most of these names that I see in the midfield right now easily could just bust loose and it'd be great. And you don't know which one it's going to be though. There are some that I would definitely steer away from like Duncan Taylor. I really like Dominic Morris. He doesn't play enough. Nope, he doesn't.
00:48:59
Speaker
If Tom goes away, I hope he's the one that's getting time. Unfortunately, now that Taylor's still there, I don't think that's going to happen, which sucks. So if you were to want to leave anytime soon, I wouldn't besmirch it. I'd be like, yeah, you you do you, man. You've you've earned that. All right. I'm doing this even with a lot of Northampton guys and taking slight home slates. Yep. That's a good one. Because he's got wheels. Home run hitter. Yep. All right.
00:49:28
Speaker
Fingers crossed this works out this year. Ollie Lawrence. Yeah. That is a fingers crossed. Yep. He, I think if he leaves Worcester, he'll still stay in the prem. Yeah. He wants to play for England. So really wants to play for England. All right. So we got that. What else do I need? I don't need anything. Nick David. Hmm. Okay. I'm not sure he's going to play too much. Say if he plays.
00:49:59
Speaker
Yes. Well, I guess, I don't know. He'll, he'll probably be the backup to Tyrone Green now that Hugh James has gone. Right. He's shown his ability to run it. So it's not so much like Nick David as it is next man up Harlequin's beast. Definitely. Who's good.
00:50:28
Speaker
Oh, you're good. You're playing on, you're playing in this spot on the Gwen's. Yes. All right. I'm checking you for three 20 point games this season. That's it. Yeah. Okay. I haven't, I haven't gone back to the well for a couple of the positions I picked earlier. Sorry to get into.
00:50:54
Speaker
I think I need to. I'm actually kind of excited about the guy I might be getting. So don't you fucking pick him, Jared. Johnny May. Pass. Pass. All yours, all yours, Duncan. Keep him. Keep him.
00:51:12
Speaker
Oh, I thought that's what you were. Oh, shit. No, he actually picked him. Yeah, he's gone. He's just gone. Well, that's silly. Yeah. All yours, buddy. Have fun. I've done silly things this draft too. So who am I to judge? Pearson. Pearson. That's a good loose forward grab. Yep. That's a good loose forward grab. I think he's going to be good. I was hoping he'd last a little longer. So you tell yourself. Yeah.
00:51:44
Speaker
All right. Yeah. I have an idea of my next pick. Let's see if it gets, I don't think he's going to get snapped up because there's other people in front of him that might be more appealing to other, to others, but what position are you looking at? Okay. I'm looking at a very different position and a guy who
00:52:06
Speaker
Well, we talked about Andy yearn, as far as a, uh, you know, backup who you might even start when they're the backup. Yeah. I think this guy is kind of along those lines and importantly, been importantly. Yeah. That's a good, yeah. I was looking at him too, but I'm not sure. I don't know what his story is. What are they going to, is he going to be there out now starter? This could be the year that they start.
00:52:36
Speaker
He takes more of the mantle from Ben Young's. That would be beneficial in a lot of ways. In a lot of ways. There's Duncan.
00:53:08
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah. First time, buddy. I'm going old school with the ball. This this this draft day of draft days. So old school. Yeah. All right, Duncan. Come on, Duncan, you can do it.
00:53:33
Speaker
Tiktok. There we go. Morhan. Morhan. It took you that long to pick Morhan. Yeah, that was not where my brain was, but okay. I'm glad it wasn't with yours either. It seems like a decision that you did not make well.
00:53:53
Speaker
It's like, no, no, no. Oh, oh, your toes off the board as a midfielder. That'll be interesting. You you hope he's just going to play on the wing and then you can get wing points for a midfielder. That's the only thing with that. If he's actually playing midfield, that's kind of scary. Right. All right.
00:54:16
Speaker
I like the way this guy played towards the end of the year last year. So hopefully it continues. Plus he's not, yeah. So I'm not worried about that. Right. So like my backup nine to the, uh, incomparable Alex Mitchell will be Will Porter.
00:54:37
Speaker
Okay. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Cause he, and he may eventually take the reigns away from Robson cause right. Thank you. We're the one telling me that like people over in boss territory have been clamoring for that for a while. And it's like, well, how do you sit Robson? So yeah, Josh pass. Yes. He was on my list of people. Yeah, Josh Bassett. Solid reliable. Good old FRD pick.
00:55:05
Speaker
For sure. George, no sniping my next pick. Cam read back that would that was in my brain. Yeah. Yeah. And we could see him. Yep. Give him healthy. Yeah, I think my four picks left. I think I know what at least I love that.
00:55:30
Speaker
This is for Charlie. Definitely not. I love the graphic on it too. Champagne Charlie. Oh my God. Yeah, that's good. That's great stuff. Oh man. Let's see what else we got here.
Defensive Picks and Future Predictions
00:55:51
Speaker
Who went? Underhill. Underhill. Yeah.
00:56:00
Speaker
All right. Kyle Rowe yet wondered how long that was going to last. Okay. Yep. I mean, when he plays, he could score a hat trick. Right. Yeah. That'll win you a week. Or at least keep you in one. James Copper still sitting right there. So four, yeah, four picks left. Yep.
00:56:29
Speaker
I'm wondering. Oh, Josh. Yeah, that's a good one. If he plays, he should be dynamite. Yeah.
00:56:48
Speaker
All right. They're not. All right. I'm going to snipe the shit out of Jared, whether or not he is thinking of this player right now. As soon as he sees who I have drafted, he's going to yell at Jacob. Yes, that's a good one.
00:57:08
Speaker
That's a good one. If he goes, I mean, I really hope he's one of my favorite fancy players ever. I hope he's all right. Yeah, me too. Yeah, I hope he comes good. That'll be awesome. All right. I mean, who do I have to lose with this pick at this point?
00:57:28
Speaker
Like, what do I have to lose with that pic at this point? Dave years. No, God, no, God, no. God, I'd rather have Jimmy copper than James viewers personally. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Um, yeah, we'll see what happens with that. Do, do, do.
00:57:57
Speaker
Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy
00:58:25
Speaker
Yeah, I'm just a little bit. Yeah, I was a little light in midfield wise, so I'm hoping one of the guys say I picked hits. Well, one will hit, but it's a matter of how much they're going to play. Luington goes. Yeah, Luington. So who's who's going to be who's going to be the starting wingers for Saris? Fucking we know. Yeah. Maidens are on the winger at full bat.
00:58:51
Speaker
On the wing probably with good at fullback. Yeah, with good at fullback. That'd be my guess. They got great. They got Rottie. They got Maitland, Lewington. Yep. The JMO. I was going for him next. Yeah, the JMO would have been a good pick. I'm done picking midfielder, so whatever. I got what I got. Yeah, I'm thinking of Atkinson as my next. Yeah, Aki. Oh, all right.
00:59:19
Speaker
You know, Mattias Moroni. Oh, wait, Mattias Moroni. I know he's he's all the way out there, but like that's another thing. Like Newcastle added some real fucking strength there. He's been amazing. I know about way. So maybe I really need Atkinson just for the you're playing doctor. Yeah, maybe. So he's not going to get any more time with England. You know what, one cap.
00:59:45
Speaker
Yeah, I think that was a I think that was a, you know, career recognition cap more than it was. Not quite a testimonial, but close. Right. Apparently, 12 Trees is getting a testimonial this year. Oh, Tom Roebuck, is it? Yeah, I think 12 Trees testimonial happen. I think Ed Slater played. Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah. And I think it was all all the money went to Ed Slater's charity. Oh, good. Yeah. Good, good, good. Glad to hear that.
01:00:15
Speaker
Glad to hear that. Um, yes. Roebuck was one I was considering. Um, cause he could be on the wing. And as a, as listen as a midfielder that could come in handy at some point. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I'd be interested to see what he does there to a suing pass. He's a lock playing number eight. Yeah. And he really is. Especially now, like four years ago. Okay.
01:00:44
Speaker
Now, meh. Right. A whole lot of meh. Yeah, I think I'm going to go Atkinson just cause he'll play every match. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to play a lot. No doubt. Until like, he'll at least carry me over until Sammy comes back. Yeah, probably. I think I had him. I think the last prem FRDB had, I had, I had Atkinson. Ashton Coase. Worked out all right. Ashy.
01:01:13
Speaker
Yeah. Splash. Let's see. It was Justin got. He's going to stay that way. Oh, Ben Spencer pick. Yep. All right. I'm going to go. This is a total dart throw. But if he comes good, it's going to be awesome to watch property. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was on my list of guys who it's like if it's late,
01:01:41
Speaker
Yeah, I'll throw a dart at him. Yep. Yeah, I'm going. I got one more idea. That I want to go with and then I feel like I did that with Peledry, so. Do. Yes, there goes Accie. I can now really get it just to outside backs. Well, there's so many good players left on the shelf. It depends on the position.
01:02:12
Speaker
Midfield kind of light fly half. Sort of depending on the week. Um. Loose forward, definitely OB. Yeah, there'll be some good names left. Yeah. Like very McConaughey is still there and he's not even like a towards the top of the list, right?
01:02:35
Speaker
And it's like kind of accurate. I'm not saying that's a slight of any sort. It's just, damn, there's plenty of players left. Yes, Ian was not relevant to the list below. Indeed, indeed. Oh, man. Yeah, what a useless pile of garbage.
01:03:01
Speaker
What we got? What would we do, George? Okay. All right. Yeah. I mean, he's going to play most weeks. He's going to play. That's the thing. He plays every week, but I don't know how, like he was just, he wasn't even that high a score in TRM. Yeah. Like he hit about like 20 points every week early and then fell off big time towards the end. So that's not going to get you too much in FRD. Yeah.
01:03:29
Speaker
But you need a starter, so sometimes that's all you can do. Well, I mean, yeah, come on. As long as he's not your for sure starter to start with. But he's also going to play every week, so he's going to get your points. It's like solid back up. Right. Yep. Exactly. Like, oh, I don't want to drop, you know, like the guy who maybe you might not want to drop just because of that, like.
01:03:53
Speaker
Yep. I got five points right there. I'm no worries, which, you know, what if on the, you know, it's only like.
Reflections and Closing Remarks
01:04:02
Speaker
Boomer bust on the waiver wire. You kind of want to have something that's like, no, just give me something dependable. Yeah. True. True. All right. What we got next is half roll. Okay.
01:04:16
Speaker
Hmm. Of course, go bespix the Saffa that it's gonna, that wants to try for, try and play for England. How much is Anthony Watts going to play is first off, is he hurt? No, surprisingly. He's not for the moment. Yeah, exactly.
01:04:45
Speaker
Hasn't played in a bit then. He hasn't. No, Hathril's not going to top 14 yet. He's the same situation as 10 Smith. I was looking for, was looking for it to go that way obviously. Yeah, I don't know if he's actually gone yet or not. No, I don't think he has. Yeah, Robson, Cockness again. Joe Koka. Yep. That's a big boom at least. Potential with that.
01:05:11
Speaker
Yeah. At this point, you can take somebody that you're not completely sure about what their status in the league is. It's not a big deal. The drop, the ad drop button is a beautiful thing. Yeah. I'm pretty set on who I'm picking next. So that's good. As long as George doesn't sniper, there he goes.
01:05:35
Speaker
But he might he might actually start scoring this year. So yeah, the fantasy. So we'll see. We're starting to learn how to attack around 16. Oh, yeah, totally. Right. Shell deck. All right. Yeah. Shell penis. Let's see. All right. Is he here? Because he came on towards the end of last year with just some like good attacking days. He just maintains that. Then that'll get that's points. So.
01:06:04
Speaker
Back up half back for me. Right. I'm just going to finish up the meds. Now it's, do I want, do I go ratu?
01:06:21
Speaker
Cause that could, that's one of those that could like seriously pay off, but it could also just be one of those where it's like, yeah, definitely. I had him for a little bit last one and it worked. Okay. What was that like his, you know, just first year getting into the prem kind of learning. It was, and he was actually, all right. Yeah.
01:06:52
Speaker
Couldn't let that happen, man. God Simpson, nice. Yeah, I grabbed him. It was not a terrible idea in my brain at least. No, that's perfectly like he'll score points when he's playing.
01:07:11
Speaker
And play quite a bit, I'm pretty sure. So team two last year. Yeah. That's like this late in the game. That's a good. Oh, I got, I got my, I think I got my final pick.
01:07:24
Speaker
I actually have options. So assuming they both don't get snapped, I'm going to be okay with it. And assuming that I'm not mistakenly remembering that they're both healthy because that would suck too. Garth Simpson and Harry Randall, fuck you. I'm telling you, man, guys, I need to run. Yeah. Guys, I like to run and they both do. So, you know, Simpson's definitely the beta version of Randall, but still not.
01:07:54
Speaker
George Morton. Okay. I mean, I mean, is this the, that's not even a token tiger for you, for you, Duncan. Right. He's a lock though, actually. And he might play sex. So there's that, there's that idea. At least still been low. There it is. That's a good pick value pick right now. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely.
01:08:22
Speaker
Yeah. Are we scanner? Okay. Let's see if he actually gets fucking playing time. Rob Baxter might pull that out. Yeah. He got quite a lot of playing time last year. Yeah. Yeah. When Joe Simmons fell out, but that's, you know, yeah, but he kid needs to get like into the game before like the four, the four minutes left.
01:08:49
Speaker
For if things have gone sideways, that's not the time to make subs. Time to make subs like 10 minutes before that. Lewis Ludlow. Oh, Harvey Skinner, he gets picked. We were just talking about that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Sal Mackey. That's a good value pick right now. Assuming you get some playing time, but yeah. All right, here we go. See if he actually turns in a good season.
01:09:18
Speaker
Will Evans. Yes. Like it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm hoping that comes good because I liked him before I get hurt. Right. I'm going to go Tom Penny. Yeah, that's a good pick. OK, that's a good one. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Senator possibly playing outside back. That's not a bad idea. Right. Rarely goes super wrong. Rarely.
01:09:48
Speaker
Right. Jarrah, you and I are in the same group again, aren't we? Uh, yeah. Week one, week one, maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Find out in a second here. We'll find out in a moment. Cobus pulls his finger out. Come on, man. Yes, it's your last pick. That's not complicated, dude. Grab a lock.
01:10:17
Speaker
Come on, Jack Knoll. He's, he's, he's Sagan. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it could, it could be great. Yeah. That's another one. He, when he plays, you know, at this point, that's kind of what you're banking on. Who's the last pick? It was Mr. Relevant. Okay.
01:10:44
Speaker
Go back to one week one. I've got Duncan. I get Carrick. Justin and Ben. Ben Carrey was, uh, Ben Carrey's last one. Okay. And then it's Cobas and Mark. Okay. Delicious. All right. Fun.
01:11:14
Speaker
This is going to be great. Sorry, get my quietest draft ever. Quite the feat we've done here. Can't believe you managed it. Yeah. Well, it sucks to be you.
01:11:29
Speaker
Eight players, this is going to be a tough competitive league. Yeah, always. Everything the champion should be. Right. Right. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. No, no hide in space. It is not easy. All right. Cool. All right. So there's that. And I think we have D2 filled. We have to confirm a couple of things and they'll be drafting soon. And then, yeah, then we'll be able to track everything come Friday with Bristol. Love that we have the
01:11:57
Speaker
Love that we have a deep, like a full D two. Yep. It's going to be great. Looking forward to it. But yeah, until then, um, yeah, Ben and I will be back this week and we'll preview premiere ship. We'll do start, sit all that shit. Um, but yeah, and that, and then by the time we start potting this week, Ben, we're going to have, we're only going to have a couple of weeks until the complete bet madness hits us. I know. Ridiculous. It'll be fun.
01:12:26
Speaker
I'm, I'm still in shock that we, you know, we have, we have a place to stay and then ticket. Like we just have to be there all of a sudden. Yeah. It's going to be gone. There will be good days and that will be big. It's actually meet George and others. Absolutely the best. Grand old time.
01:12:46
Speaker
So until then, we'll catch everybody later on this week. But we appreciate you. If you're on this helpful, please let us know. This is usually one of our more popular episodes. So that's why we do it. But hopefully everybody likes it. Until then. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help. Yeah, nobody likes you anyway. OK. See you later, everybody. Later. Cheers, guys.
