Fantasy Rugby Season Kickoff
00:00:00
jarrod_dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the fantasy rugby angst. My name is Jared Dyke.
00:00:04
Grumpy Old Prop
I'm Ben Glauser.
00:00:05
jarrod_dyke
We're in, it's fantasy time. um We are kicking things off with the kickoff weekend of PWR and our PWR fantasy league.
00:00:16
jarrod_dyke
So we have some newcomers, we have some people that did not jump back in or did not email us that they wanted back in, in which case, where are you?
00:00:23
Grumpy Old Prop
You can still do it.
00:00:24
jarrod_dyke
Get, you can.
00:00:24
Grumpy Old Prop
You you just missed a week. not you know it's It's been done before.
00:00:26
jarrod_dyke
Yeah, one week.
00:00:29
Grumpy Old Prop
People have come back from from worse.
00:00:30
jarrod_dyke
Mm-hmm
00:00:32
Grumpy Old Prop
think didn't somebody like
00:00:34
jarrod_dyke
Rihanna dead speed that was I messed I messed up her scores not on there Yeah,
00:00:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, right. She missed the first like three weeks and still was up there at one point.
League Standings and Top Performers
00:00:43
jarrod_dyke
so one that's the one person I forgot to throw the scores and on there for any who um Yeah, so we had a bit we had our first big week and
00:00:57
jarrod_dyke
Right now our, leader our, for our leader in the clubhouse is our friend Julia. She is currently killing it with 60, almost all one seventy almost almost 70.
00:01:09
jarrod_dyke
She had. Yep. She had Gwen Hopkins. She had Millie David who had a day.
00:01:18
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh
00:01:20
jarrod_dyke
played the full, so she played 80, so I got her two points. She had three tries, so I got her 15. She had 208 meters racked up, so that's 20 points right there. She had 11 tackles, so that's another five and a half right there.
00:01:33
jarrod_dyke
um So with I will say all this with the caveat of we're waiting to possibly get more stats. So things could shift a little bit up and down.
00:01:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:01:43
jarrod_dyke
I don't i don't think Julia is gonna lose her lead with that fucking Titan of a score.
00:01:46
Grumpy Old Prop
No.
00:01:48
jarrod_dyke
But um just to say, there could be some adjustments to say the least before I get the sucker posted out, waiting on the the answer to those. Our newcomer Tom did have a very good score as well, 64.
00:02:03
jarrod_dyke
points. He had, think he was one of the only ones that picked Amelia McDougall as his kicker. Julia had everything. So that wasn't a bad idea either. Spoiler alert. Oh, no, she had McDougall as well.
00:02:14
jarrod_dyke
Damn. Well done, Julia.
00:02:16
Grumpy Old Prop
Damn.
00:02:17
jarrod_dyke
That's i impressive. Yeah. So anyway, there could be some changes to that. But leading the clubhouse right now is Julia with Tom right there. And then I think the next one is Joe.
00:02:30
jarrod_dyke
Yes. Our good buddy George with Joe right behind him, like literally point point six separating those two. So well done to those. If you want in, give us a shout this this weekend, whether it's you know via the Twitters or just shoot us an email.
00:02:46
jarrod_dyke
We are. We're happy to help. We'll come more in.
00:02:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm Yeah, and right now she's in front of some other people so she's already she already had a last year space Yeah
00:02:48
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. Rihanna made up some ground. Eventually got got herself in front of other people. So Uh, don't give up.
00:02:57
jarrod_dyke
Already doing better than she started off with last year. um champions recap. Um, I, I will get this pain out of the way first. I suck. I do. I really do. I've tumbled. I've tumbled. Although I didn't even get the wooden spoon this week, which is the worst part. Cause I dropped to eighth, but I just did worse than ah hold ah it worse than everyone else. Um, yeah, Alex had the wooden spoon this week.
00:03:27
jarrod_dyke
Thanks for saving me on that one, Alex. Anyway, division one looks like this. It's Mark, it's Justin, George, um, Stu, Duncan, Cobus, Alex, and then me holding up the bottom. Just sitting here holding it up.
00:03:46
Grumpy Old Prop
So for D2, we've got um Aubrey in first. He moved up two spots with the, and and had the the yellow hat this week.
00:03:52
jarrod_dyke
Damn. All right.
00:03:57
Grumpy Old Prop
Barty remains in second. ah Paul drops from first to third.
00:04:01
jarrod_dyke
Ouch.
00:04:02
Grumpy Old Prop
um I maintain the equality fourth position.
00:04:06
jarrod_dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:04:06
Grumpy Old Prop
um Rebel Scrum, Luke. um Yes, got it right.
00:04:11
jarrod_dyke
Yes.
00:04:11
Grumpy Old Prop
ah Moved up a spot. He's now in fifth. ah Drew.
00:04:15
jarrod_dyke
Our newcomer, yeah.
00:04:15
Grumpy Old Prop
um Has dropped to the sixth but it's there're there four and a half points difference between the two It's just a you know a rounding error at this point Franco with really holding up the rear.
00:04:21
jarrod_dyke
Ooh. Damn.
00:04:27
jarrod_dyke
Mm.
00:04:29
Grumpy Old Prop
He's like 60 or 53 points Out right and he's 170 he's 170 out of first already and
00:04:33
jarrod_dyke
Franco that is disappointing from you my friend. That's really disappointing for me. My friend. What's going on over there?
00:04:44
jarrod_dyke
are
00:04:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, it's it's kind of a, there's, I mean, Aubrey's up and she's like 20 points ahead of Barty.
00:04:49
jarrod_dyke
Whoo Damn I'm like a hundred and twenty points out myself.
00:04:49
Grumpy Old Prop
So there's, and they're, Barty and Paul are are a half a point difference, literally. um
00:04:57
jarrod_dyke
So I'm not that I'm not doing a whole lot better
00:04:58
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. I'm about 54 or 56 points out first.
00:05:02
jarrod_dyke
that's That's better.
00:05:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. I'm in the same like 500 point range, but yeah, um Luke and Drew and and Franco are all in the 400 point range.
00:05:06
jarrod_dyke
better.
00:05:15
Grumpy Old Prop
So i I was able to bottle it this weekend as well, but it didn't just didn't get me or lose me a spot, which I'm happy with.
00:05:17
jarrod_dyke
Oh, yeah. um
00:05:26
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. If you can, if you spit it, but you still don't lose too much ground, you're, thank you, lucky stars. Those weekends are hard. Well, thank you.
Player Analysis and Team Defense
00:05:37
jarrod_dyke
Um, I do want to just check on some, some risers and followers and then we'll get to start to sit, but we won't spend too much time on this. Um,
00:05:47
jarrod_dyke
Obviously, we talked about like some of the young players coming through like Sam Harris. will so We'll keep our eyes on him and where he plays this week. Grant, he's going to Gloucester. Although Gloucester, I believe, have one of the worst points against right now, actually.
00:06:03
jarrod_dyke
I think they're the worst, which is wild to think about considering that we're playing in an elite with Newcastle. Yes, seven points worst total is Gloucester than Newcastle.
00:06:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:06:14
jarrod_dyke
so That might be someone to get consider on the up is Sam Harris um We talked about like Cunningham was a goodbye once upon a time but not anymore Do we know what the status of Christian Wade is?
00:06:26
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:06:30
jarrod_dyke
That was a that was a big one Mmm, same
00:06:30
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't, but I'm guessing I didn't look happy. I'd be shocked if you played this week.
00:06:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Like might not be out long term, but I'm i'm guessing and he's out this week.
00:06:42
jarrod_dyke
um Guendano was another one we talked about as as on the up big one right there.
00:06:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:06:47
jarrod_dyke
Um, Vaibhav also got bottled up this week. Like that's not, I've not seen anybody contain him like that for a while.
00:06:53
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:06:55
jarrod_dyke
Um, might be kind of ah an alarm bell for anybody that's kind of outside back going against Saracens. Um, Yeah beard unless he's at 13.
00:07:06
jarrod_dyke
I don't want to see him anywhere else. Honestly Another one is just kind of Just tank it um Anybody else if Like it's so depressing like it's not the castle scores There's only one for in multiple in double digits that played and that's check cuz he scored like that's it
00:07:08
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:07:23
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:07:30
jarrod_dyke
um
00:07:33
jarrod_dyke
Sam Graham seems like he's going to be a good buy. If he's starting, he's just going to start.
00:07:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, that's the thing.
00:07:37
jarrod_dyke
That's the problem.
00:07:38
Grumpy Old Prop
How many? how Although he's also 6 million. How the fuck is he 6 million?
00:07:43
jarrod_dyke
Well, it's better than, I mean, it's better than seven or eight, but still.
00:07:44
Grumpy Old Prop
That doesn't make sense to me.
00:07:48
jarrod_dyke
Yeah.
00:07:48
jarrod_dyke
You're not wrong. It's kind of up there a little bit. He was a solid buy last year. That's for sure.
00:07:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:07:54
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:07:54
jarrod_dyke
I think, I think the folks at the, at the game have caught on a little bit.
00:07:58
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:07:58
jarrod_dyke
Um, what's Roebuck cause he had a great weekend. I could have another one sitting in front of them.
00:08:07
Grumpy Old Prop
He's at seven. So if you got, um, yeah.
00:08:08
jarrod_dyke
For OBs, that's not bad.
00:08:11
Grumpy Old Prop
So if if you have a Christian Wade, that's a pretty easy switch. They're seven for seven right there.
00:08:14
jarrod_dyke
Mm hmm.
00:08:17
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, would, would recommend.
00:08:18
jarrod_dyke
Yep. No, no joke. Yeah, totally.
Team Recommendations: Exeter and Bristol
00:08:24
jarrod_dyke
Totally. Cool.
00:08:25
Grumpy Old Prop
And I think at this point now, um, if you have one of the bigger number, um, you know, uh, backs, like I have a Betoya.
00:08:35
jarrod_dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:08:37
Grumpy Old Prop
He might go for, for a s slight home this week. Cause it looks like slights might be back.
00:08:43
jarrod_dyke
Yeah, what if that you've...
00:08:43
Grumpy Old Prop
And it's, it's hard to try to keep him up. Cause you're like, cause I have a 10 million, a 7 million, a five and a three in my back, in my outside backs.
00:08:50
jarrod_dyke
Ooh.
00:08:50
Grumpy Old Prop
Cause it's like, and we're kind of wanting one at each level. Um, so as you're, you know, your big money back, slight home might, this is, I, to me as a, as a riser, he'd been kind of like, yeah, not worth it this year yet.
00:09:00
jarrod_dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:09:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, so if you dropped him after two weeks, the fix that, I think, man,
00:09:08
jarrod_dyke
Maybe reconsider, maybe reconsider. All right. Once you start to sail versus Newcastle, I'm starting us off, um, for the hosts.
00:09:21
Grumpy Old Prop
calm down, settle down up there.
00:09:21
jarrod_dyke
Um, yeah, this'll be, this shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Um, uh, a poker for sure. Yes. I still don't know if everyone's heard it at this point. I assume he is. If he's in, you can play him though.
00:09:32
jarrod_dyke
LCD. Yes. Uh, here on Andrews over any other lock. Um, if he's healthy, uh, didn't play last week because of the head knock.
00:09:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:09:40
jarrod_dyke
Um, okay.
00:09:42
Grumpy Old Prop
I think um I think rod is hurt. I think I looked it up because I have him in our draft league And I'm not dropping him because he'll be back not that not that long Sorry about that
00:09:47
jarrod_dyke
Okay. There you go. Okay. There you go. Um, what the hell was I lost my train of thought. Um,
00:10:06
jarrod_dyke
Ben Curry sit at war, still don't trust him, and Nia Klivu, I still need to see it, so that's that for sale.
00:10:25
jarrod_dyke
Newcastle, it's really easy. Sale or ninth versus OBEs, so that gives me maybe kind of a possibility of either a Radwan or Red Shaw.
00:10:36
jarrod_dyke
Everybody else goes to the bin. Really easy. Radwan or Red Shaw, assuming either are healthy, possibly throw them in there, especially if you're like, you need of like a wild card,
00:10:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Other bin.
00:10:47
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
00:10:48
jarrod_dyke
Semi cheapo. Yes. Other than that, everybody else go to the bin and you leave them there.
00:10:56
Grumpy Old Prop
All right, then I am i've off to Sandy Park where the Exeter hosts Bristol.
00:11:02
jarrod_dyke
Make sure
00:11:05
Grumpy Old Prop
I think so, um as we said in the the other pod.
00:11:07
jarrod_dyke
to get pounded by Bristol.
00:11:11
Grumpy Old Prop
But for Exeter, I think Fay Woboso is going to get a little loose. I think that the Bristol definitely don't have the defense that Sarries did. um
00:11:22
jarrod_dyke
right
00:11:22
Grumpy Old Prop
unless they're paying close attention and can sort out that, hey, just stop Feuwoboso and let anybody else beat you and you'll be okay. um And if they did get that message, then we'll we'll see.
00:11:35
Grumpy Old Prop
So I'm still not, I'm i kind of on the fence of Feuwoboso at the moment. um If if you know that copycat gets gets out there, awesome.
00:11:40
jarrod_dyke
Right.
00:11:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Well, sucks for Feuwoboso owners anyway.
00:11:47
jarrod_dyke
Right.
00:11:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Hodge is still a maybe though, because he's been decent, but I think I dropped him after two weeks, so I think I'm good. um i Again, just don't want to so't want um over promise on any of this stuff.
00:11:55
jarrod_dyke
Get 21 last week without the tea Yeah, I try to go for like 15 on that one All
00:12:02
Grumpy Old Prop
and there's and Although he is good for the the boot, um because they should be scoring a little bit, so that might be helpful. But again, outside back with like 10 points, I'm not sure I'd want that exactly.
00:12:14
Grumpy Old Prop
um yeah Oh, I mean like ten have ah like fly half points. um Because that's kind of what youre I think you're going to get.
00:12:20
jarrod_dyke
right
00:12:24
Grumpy Old Prop
um Unless he scores two tries, which he could do, as we saw last week.
00:12:27
jarrod_dyke
So we saw that last week at least.
00:12:28
Grumpy Old Prop
um And then on Bristol's side, I mean, I'm buying on granddaughter, he just just came back and it's like, yeah, okay. I'll score some tries for fun. And Bristol, that seems to be what they like to do too.
00:12:40
Grumpy Old Prop
um And then Malin's in a Betoya. um I'm hesitant on my own ah Ben Hardianz. I think you mentioned that in the other pod. um
00:12:53
Grumpy Old Prop
It's just so hit and miss. I mean, he yeah, he had a good week last week, but ah ah could that could go well this week, actually, but we'll see.
00:12:59
jarrod_dyke
Yeah.
00:13:01
jarrod_dyke
We'll see. Yeah. It's going to be kind of the telling week for Bennett.
00:13:05
Grumpy Old Prop
But immediately after this, so think of it this way, though. With him, you have Exeter coming up, but then Saris, Saints, Quinn's, Lester, Sale.
00:13:12
jarrod_dyke
Mm.
00:13:14
Grumpy Old Prop
And then Sarri's again, that's a rough six, six match stretch.
00:13:17
jarrod_dyke
Could be a rough go. Mm.
00:13:20
Grumpy Old Prop
So it might be time to, to do a little switcherooing on that.
00:13:24
jarrod_dyke
Considering as I am considering as much as for sure.
00:13:28
Grumpy Old Prop
Like mail-ins to me and Nivetoie are kind of like, they're, they're almost match-up proof, but Ben Hart is not.
00:13:32
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. Worth riding at least.
00:13:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm-hmm.
Leicester vs. Northampton: Players to Watch
00:13:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:13:36
jarrod_dyke
All right.
00:13:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Though they're worth riding. I don't think BJVR is.
00:13:40
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. Yeah. Top position to score from two midfield, um, Gloucester and Bath for Gloucester.
00:13:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:13:49
jarrod_dyke
Um, for Sogbon I'm still backing for a little bit. Um, Thomas Williams, the real deal, I think for our sakes. Um, Barton again, fifties wearing 15 and kicking.
00:13:58
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm hmm.
00:14:01
jarrod_dyke
Love it. Love everything about it. Um, Llewellyn is a real is, is the real thing. I believe at this point, no matter where he's playing. So give him a go. Um, and then should Wade not be injured, which we're 90% sure he is.
00:14:16
jarrod_dyke
Um, okay. But other than that, yeah, no, have it. It might be time to sell them. We'll see you how long he's out. Um, the sits for a high, high picks or Val singles and.
00:14:27
jarrod_dyke
Hate to say it Mercer and Gareth Anscombe for bath. Um, do twas back, give him a, give him a roll again. Um, I'm going to say yes to done cause Gloucester have given up plenty of points to hookers. Um, I'm hoping for a reaction from the back row this week. So Barbary Hill, pepper. Yes. Um, Spencer, Finn. Yep. Lawrence. Yep. Will bottom.
00:14:54
jarrod_dyke
Yes. Well, but, um, to Glanville. Yes. Um, I think Coco was only, uh, was only a head injury. So maybe he's cleared this week. We'll see. Um, from the other week. Um, if not, then, you know, maybe go look at the aforementioned Sam Harris from before, um, sits Obama. Oh, I got to see it from the big guy again. Haven't seen it for a while. Uh, Jules under Hill said as well.
00:15:21
Grumpy Old Prop
All right, then we are off to, uh, where am I? Oh, the Midlands Derby, Leicester host Northampton.
00:15:34
Grumpy Old Prop
Leicester, this is going to be the hardest test for Leicester so far this season.
00:15:41
Grumpy Old Prop
I don't know what they've got. So I've i've you know i've been pumping Kyle Hather a little in the past. This is not the match for him. um Still might get good some some decent stats out of that that lock combination, Martin and and Chasm.
00:15:51
jarrod_dyke
Right.
00:15:55
Grumpy Old Prop
Those are really the only two forwards I'd look at. um Pollard should be getting... Oh no, he's not even playing yet. um Unless he is back, we'll see.
00:16:07
jarrod_dyke
We'll see. We'll see what I mean. I'm sure I assume they gave him a little bit of rest time after.
00:16:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Right, I just don't know how much.
00:16:13
jarrod_dyke
Ruby championship.
00:16:14
Grumpy Old Prop
um
00:16:17
Grumpy Old Prop
But even so, um in the past couple, you know, the the the defense that Saints had last year, and I'm still not sure it's coming back yet, but it might be starting, um was particularly debt um dreadful for fly halves. So consider that. I don't think i Still wouldn't touch their outside backs. There's just so many better options than then. This is just a shit matchup. once Unfortunately for Lester um Not many people I'd say outright sit um But just not many I'd i'd pump up is yeah go start that maybe um ah Maybe Jack van Portly is the one that I'd be like, yeah, I get start him anyway because he's been he's been scoring points Although he didn't quite this past week
00:17:02
jarrod_dyke
Yeah, but pretty super did pretty well didn't he?
00:17:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:17:06
jarrod_dyke
Okay, so there's that He and he broke a rib He looked uncomfortable on
00:17:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, on the other side, the, for the saints, I mean, where to go. You could still, Langdon could still go off, although he's been quiet. Um, or at least he was this past week.
00:17:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Um,
00:17:23
Grumpy Old Prop
you still have the, again, those like if if Cole's, I don't know if he's healthy and if he's coming back strong, did he break a rib? Oh, fuck. That's right. He did look unhappy.
00:17:32
jarrod_dyke
Friday.
00:17:33
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. I didn't hear what, what um you know, if anything, if it was just. unfunitude, but uh, chinya manga is somehow scoring so go fucking figure um And then the back row is so Stacked that it's kind of hard to pick one from them um But you know, there's there are obviously options um Because do I have any of their no, I don't at them.
00:17:44
jarrod_dyke
Yo, yo.
00:18:01
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh, no, I've Tom Pearson. So um obviously I would I'd still push him and
00:18:04
jarrod_dyke
way I do too.
00:18:08
Grumpy Old Prop
And then basically the entire back line could be scored at this point. there's they' If they're back, if they're starting to roll, um as I already mentioned, s Slide Home, Finn Smith's obviously a quality option at 10 and the centers, Dingwall and Hutchinson have been lights out as well. So it's only a matter of a time before Freeman and Furbank are really picking up with ah you know as they come back and and Slide Home's still kicking ass. this is
00:18:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, I would treat them like they are, at least for from a fantasy perspective, like their last year's last um Northampton team.
00:18:47
jarrod_dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:18:49
Grumpy Old Prop
Start buying.
00:18:50
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. Bye.
00:18:52
Grumpy Old Prop
And no real sets at this point, because like any of any of them could score very well.
00:18:52
jarrod_dyke
Bye. Bye. So so so All right the london dabe uh quince and saris for the quince um Fortunately, shortlist for both.
Quins vs. Saracens: Key Players
00:19:08
jarrod_dyke
um Sorry, and I mean that but sincerely, it's sad that it is a shortlist for Quinn's. Will Evans, CCS are probably the main forwards to focus on for them. Porter over Care and Marcus. As I mentioned, like Baxter and Launchbury are both highly owned. I would not play them this week.
00:19:28
jarrod_dyke
Um, beard will probably be on the wing, which is actually a problem. As I mentioned before, Saracen's are actually very good against outside backs right now. So that's not really where you want him. And as I said before, if he's not playing 13, I'm not sure I want him.
00:19:40
jarrod_dyke
Um, and then half penny highly owned, but that's mostly from his kicking point slash his new castle game would not really be putting the money on that, especially if Marcus is playing.
00:19:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:19:52
jarrod_dyke
Cause that means he has the T not half penny. So you're so well on that one. for the Saracens. It's a pretty good list. Reese Carey, yes, finally. Finally, the man is back. Looked great. Theo Danner Jenks, either or. um There are four locks that are possibilities for the Saracens based on ownership and selection. I would play any of them, honestly, this week. Tiz, Mauro, Sequey, Theo Mac.
00:20:22
Grumpy Old Prop
I mean, this is the third highest scoring lock so far.
00:20:26
jarrod_dyke
Right, wild, right?
00:20:27
Grumpy Old Prop
that That's wild.
00:20:29
jarrod_dyke
So my prefer my preference in that is Theo Mac, if he's healthy. Mauro, Tiz, Nicky, Esikwe, but all of them are on the table.
00:20:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Also to Nick on his call up.
00:20:38
jarrod_dyke
Bekro.
00:20:40
jarrod_dyke
Yes, yes. Well earned, buddy.
00:20:45
jarrod_dyke
Earl Willis, AOC, artist formerly known as Andy andy Christie. um All playable as well. Van Sail, yep. um Lozowski, yes.
00:20:56
jarrod_dyke
Tobias Elliott, yes. Rachami Shagan, yes. The only sets I have right now are going to be Fergus. I don't know if Fergus is going to be able to do that try dance that he did last last week again.
00:21:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, Fergus gave me 18 points last week without a T so Yeah,
00:21:07
jarrod_dyke
Right, or without the T. I'm not sure about that one. So I have Barton, so I'm going to probably play him. um Tompkins and Daly as well have a seat.
00:21:13
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah I do too I said it might All right of the weeks
00:21:24
jarrod_dyke
Yes, yes, starts.
Fantasy Rugby Start/Sit Recommendations
00:21:26
Grumpy Old Prop
Start of the week, you just can't um can't sit him at this point. He he is easily a must start, um although he did have his lowest a point output of the this of the season this past week with 17. So I understand your disappointment if you started him.
00:21:46
Grumpy Old Prop
over that one. um But that's not likely to slow down this week. Again, these case facing a team that can be outmatched and um just you can score some wonder tries it on on them on the outside. um And even sometimes through the middle. So um my start of the week this week is maximum mail-ins.
00:22:05
jarrod_dyke
Melons. Good one. Good one. All right. So with that. I'm going to have I'm going to go with a guy that's been red hot and I'll probably smush him now. Damn it. I feel bad. But yeah, been great going through the midfield and um going against a team that's going to, that's been surrendering points left, right, and center.
00:22:27
jarrod_dyke
Um, so my other week is going to be the man I officially affectionately call will bottom well, but from, from bath.
00:22:34
Grumpy Old Prop
That's well, that's a, that's a ah shout.
00:22:38
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. Never would have thought I said those words. I would say those words ever.
00:22:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:22:42
jarrod_dyke
but You asked me that last year. I would say you're an idiot. and What's wrong with you?
00:22:47
Grumpy Old Prop
Speaking of butt though, we did not mention the bum from the sale match this past weekend.
00:22:52
jarrod_dyke
Well, you know,
00:22:53
Grumpy Old Prop
That's a shame. That should be fantasy points for showing bum.
00:22:56
jarrod_dyke
penalty shot for us, I guess.
00:22:58
Grumpy Old Prop
um Anyway, sit of the week. um He's had a kind of a stop and startish beginning of the season. um Although he's kind of middling in points. He's he's maximum of 15, minimum of 10 and a half, which is um which is great, except for that he's seven million.
00:23:20
Grumpy Old Prop
um And again, this, this matchup, I don't think he's going to go well for him because, you know, we've seen that he's not quite an international level wing and he's going up against international level wings. So so likely to be outmatched is, uh, Ali Hassell Collins.
00:23:38
jarrod_dyke
Um, yeah, ah I didn't totally smush him last week. Um, but again, I was, I mean, it's a void.
00:23:45
Grumpy Old Prop
We got 14. That's not, that's not terrible, but he's my, I'm going, I'm, it's my turn to take a swing at him.
00:23:47
jarrod_dyke
No, no, no, no.
00:23:51
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. Um, so my sit, um, guy that obviously needs to do, uh, has big shoes to fill in last year. I think he would have easily filled these shoes quite well.
00:24:03
jarrod_dyke
And he had done so for the majority of the time he needed to. But, you know, being handed the starting job right out of the gate because of injury, he's been serviceable to his team, but not to your fantasy team. My say of the week's this week's name be Tom James from Northampton.
00:24:25
Grumpy Old Prop
That's, yeah, that sucks.
00:24:27
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. Like whatever it was about like him basically just being able to watch Alex Mitchell play last year kind of inspired him to play a little bit better at least.
00:24:34
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:24:37
jarrod_dyke
And this year it's been, well, we've mentioned the word pretty, but but for honest, if we're honest.
00:24:43
Grumpy Old Prop
It has. If we're honest, yeah, I'll be honest with that.
00:24:48
jarrod_dyke
Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, especially when you have. I know he's three million, but like, you can still, Nick will Porter if you want to for that price.
00:24:59
jarrod_dyke
Fuck, even Gus Warr. Like that's terrifying to say that I'm saying that, but like Jesus, that the the them's the facts, man.
00:25:04
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:25:08
jarrod_dyke
Or spend another million. You can get yourself Thomas Williams or Ivan Mincell.
00:25:12
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
