Rugby Draft Overview
00:00:08
Speaker
Hey everybody, we are waiting for our draft. Yeah, it's been quite a day of rugby already. Already, yeah, with the couple Six Nations matches, couple prep matches, we got one on. Yeah, so we are, as the countdown has us, 140 seconds away, which is a little over two minutes for those that can't do math. I don't math that well either. I don't math that well either. So I got one, you've got three.
00:00:38
Speaker
Three is such a terrible spot. Anton between sandwich between the two of us. I still don't know who i'm gonna pick because there's like You've got options
00:00:47
Speaker
I need it. I'm breaking mine open too. I'm with you. That's my first option, is to pop a beer. Option one, drink beer. Great option. When in doubt. Yeah, we've also got Quinn's and Lester on in the background. Not that we'll pay that much attention to it, because this should move pretty lickety split with everybody, almost everybody online, although it looks like Mark's kind of bouncing in
Team Composition and Connectivity
00:01:11
Speaker
and out. See if Carrick joins.
00:01:15
Speaker
It's going to be hard to pick up a bad squad to start to start. Well, you don't want to. Here's the fun part. Week one, you don't want to pick such a heavy New Zealand heavy squad that you don't put up a fight right in your week one match up because. Yeah. Oh, hey, there he is.
00:01:31
Speaker
There's carrick. There we are. Um, but yeah, you just don't want to pick that bad of a squad to the point where And mark is on too. So yeah, we got everybody. I mean it doesn't list him as on but we know he's on because i'm struggling with with whether or not to pick uh, the reds front row at three overall Because they'll they'll score points and they'll they'll probably win you the week one match Um, and wins are going to be at a premium, right?
Player Evaluations and Strategies
00:01:56
Speaker
I don't imagine so because there's how many weeks are there in this season? I think there's going to be
00:02:01
Speaker
Like not many. Yeah, 14 or 15. So less than prem. Yeah. By far. So one week. Pardon me. Could win it. Well, could be the. Absolutely. Yeah. Mike Brown. Certainly could make a difference. Oh, yeah. And the fucking hands from Marcus Smith on this too. He's kind of good. He looks silly with the scrum cap on, but whatever. It doesn't seem to bother him. Has not affected his play. Just nice and silky.
00:02:30
Speaker
Uh, yeah, I mean the the rule i've always gone with is if it's within my next pick as well Might be worth the reach depending on how much of reach it is. I could still end up with Like a caleb clark on the turn. Mm-hmm
00:02:45
Speaker
So that's, what's fucking crazy is that like, I could still go reds front row and still have a top outside back point score. Although at the same time, I could also go like a Rico Yawani and then catch Caleb on the bounce anyway. Although in that case, I'd probably go with, uh, it's hard not to pick Will Jordan though.
Fly Halves and Key Positions
00:03:05
Speaker
Yeah, he's kind of good too. Well, I'm going to kill the suspense and take Richie Walker with my first pick. I have to say, I haven't done anything. I've had a top pick.
00:03:20
Speaker
And at least one draft one or two drafts and I haven't done anything super surprising with it I'm I'm boring. I don't know what to tell you. Oh, who did uh, let's see picks. Um, oh, that's that's I mean You need a 10 and a 10 that's going to play the starting weekend next weekend as well, right? So That's not I won't besmirch it not at all Yeah, he was he's quite good Remember, right? I can't tell goon though, too Mm
Draft Dynamics and Surprises
00:03:50
Speaker
He will score some points, but yeah, you will. Yeah. I mean, and that was probably, it was a top three fly half too. Yeah. So, all right. I'm, I think I'm going to stick with this and go with Talia. Pretty sure that's where I'm going. I don't hate that.
00:04:13
Speaker
Yeah, I don't hate that at all and the blues look really good even without even without boating right um last year, so um credit to leon mcdonald over there Get on with it. No, I will do it. The fuck I please mark. I know he's up late, but I have been thinking I fuck I still don't know who the hell I want to pick and I have 20 seconds. All right To lay it is
00:04:38
Speaker
I'll roll with it and Tom's making his own excuses. It's late and whiskey It does happen to the best of us Man play is out James O'Connor's out What else we got here
00:05:13
Speaker
Yeah, the scrum half from lester's freaking 19 like He was playing importantly and he played very well. He was playing last year too. He played very well in this match You'll see Yeah, I was he He did a good job picking his spots and taking some runs good.
Scrum Halves and Performances
00:05:31
Speaker
He needs to more skirmish need to be better at that You know Sometimes you know who you are and you don't have to take the runs but man if you have the ability to do it
00:05:43
Speaker
like steven varney Who did just a wonderful job today for italy? That's funny Uh, I I appreciate it. Well, that's you. Okay. That's a good pick. Uh-huh. I like him um, mrs vermulan
00:06:13
Speaker
Uh, that's funny. I like it. I appreciate it All right. We'll read jeez. So havili yoani reds front roast on the board Will jordan off the board will jordan off the board that takes up to george that takes that pick away from you. Yeah
00:06:30
Speaker
Uh, and now i'm nervous because I had telea I don't want to take I don't want to take kellip clark But and there goes the front there goes the red front row. I was wondering how long that was gonna last Yeah, um dunking got him and joshua. That's not bad. I like joshuani a lot and he bounced back after a bad start last year So, um, I don't see anything bad happening to him
Coaching Impact on Draft Choices
00:06:50
Speaker
Um, coaching staff had a little turnover in at the highlanders, but Not that much it's it's gone from air major to second who the guy that was the second he just went and brown Yeah, okay. No shock there All right double sniped by duncan dug in yeah
00:07:10
Speaker
Geordie Barrett. Geordie Barrett. There goes that. I bet, yeah, I bet you he takes some kicks this year. So that might, that might be worth it. Haveli is still sitting there. There goes Caleb Clark. Yeah, that didn't take long. Yeah. Um, did he get hurt? One of the Haveli's got hurt. I think actually now I think about it. Oh, well, shit. Now I'm up. I'm up. They gone. Oh man. Okay.
00:07:45
Speaker
It's my thing that was your what not working The side picks are loading for me It works when I get to mine
00:08:04
Speaker
Oh, fuck it. I'm taking several Reese. It's not. I'm like, Oh, let me think about this. Oh, white services just sitting there. Reese is rather good. And the guy I want next, I think we'll still be there at my next pick. I almost picked him and then I'm like, wait a minute. That's just silliness when this guy's, and I can't tell you because you're picking twice before I go. So yeah, you're probably going to want to keep that under your hat for a little bit. I've got ideas of who I want.
00:08:34
Speaker
I only hand them over my picks to George. Apparently I've got an idea of who I want, but I'm trying to see. Yeah. I mean.
00:08:51
Speaker
We'll clear you on these off the board. Yeah. Yep. I mean, the guys that you'd expect to be off the board or off the board. Right. Which is why I was like, Oh, wait, several Reese's sitting there. Let me just take him because. Yeah. Yeah. It's just with your second pick. Fuck at the end of the second round. Well, I'm sitting here on my finger on my ass. Anton. Hmm.
00:09:23
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Double snuck by Duncan that says Carrick and that's, that goes to really no shot there. Okay. Okay. Now I'm on my, all
Balanced Team Challenges
00:09:33
Speaker
right. I want this guy for sure. That's ALB. Yeah. Yeah. And then.
00:09:42
Speaker
I want something that I can play week one. As well, and I want a solid option at that at this position, so. Oh, nice. Yeah, Broadway's front row, especially since I'm not coming back around for another few pics. Yeah, I need something here. So again, I need something that's going to play. So now I can tell you because I don't think Anton is listening in on this. I hope not anyway. Unless unless he's hacked or hacked or here, I'm looking at Jordan Pattaya.
00:10:11
Speaker
I like him. I hope he stays healthy. That's the only problem. I do too, but I think that I think having a year under his under his belt, and I think he got better as it went on. Yeah, I could go Hunter Pezami too, but also very much one actually did. Okay. Yeah. And then Kata kind of came around as well. Hunter Pezami actually scored higher than the entire game. Yeah. I mean, but he also had more opportunities. Petaya was in and out. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I like him.
00:10:42
Speaker
Yeah, I think i'm gonna go for another couple guys that'll play this weekend assuming there's not an easy Layup sitting there for me when I come back around All right, because it's oh there's okay bronbies force, okay.
Immediate Match Considerations
00:10:56
Speaker
Oh Bromby. Okay, that makes bromby's a little bit attractive this also. Yeah this weekend Yeah, I mean the only other team that I would have been worried about is the reds and we determined earlier the reds are playing the waratas opening weekend so although that also means irae Simone is
00:11:10
Speaker
Another prime picking. Yeah, that's tasty option. But then okay, Jack, how do you go? You off? Good. You would the lid off? Yeah. More Tom, right? Fuck. I like Tom, right? I do too. Tom banks and Tom, right? Both good players. Oh, Tom banks. Shit. He's sitting up there at the top. It's just sneaking. No, he's mine. Yeah. There you go. That's a good option. I like
00:11:41
Speaker
Shit, I might still get 100% on me the next round. Anyway, make sure make sure that when we do like more Leagues that you you use that a lot more often because then I'll then I'll get more surprises like the one you gave me What was that? The one you told me last night Oh shit that was hysterical
00:12:02
Speaker
Oh, you can ask Catherine. I was dying. Well, it was like I was half asleep and half high. I mean, I was all high, but it affected me. My sleepiness affected me half as much as being high. I was like, OK, well, I need to get this Thursday night into Friday. I had a long-ass week at work. And I still had the next day, too. Sucked. Yeah, right.
00:12:27
Speaker
But then, uh, so I was like, but I need to prepare for the draft. So I'll, I need to buy my manager pro. And so I go to him like, all right, let me, let me go buy it on the site. And I see the pro and I'm like, all right, give me that pro and I buy it. No big deal. And then, uh, the next day I'm like, shit, what the fuck did I buy? Cause I couldn't, I still couldn't access the manager.
Injury Impact on Draft
00:12:50
Speaker
Wait a minute. League pro, which I don't even know what the fuck that does.
00:12:57
Speaker
it gives us well number one it enables us to rearrange the draft order as we see fit and I also I was gonna get also because we want to change the number of bench spots so we don't have as many people squatting on dudes. So we were gonna do it anyway I just was I jumped the gun
00:13:14
Speaker
and uh yeah thanks for taking care of that for me accidentally yeah so Jared i was about to go thank them too i was like oh hey thanks for this guy isn't but i texted you to make sure i didn't have it wrong yeah and he's like i think they gave us league pro and i'm like you know what that might have been what i bought
00:13:36
Speaker
Well, because then I saw I was like, oh, it's active. Interesting. Okay. Because I went into like without even looking at it early, going into buy it. George took Jordan Pattaya. Yeah, there it goes. Mother effort. I like him.
00:13:49
Speaker
There are there are a lot of names early on in this draft that I really like it There's just points everywhere in this league that I really like there are just points Some more more high scores here without Grand they'll be buys so those weeks not so much but like this week one I think you'll be see some low scores. What happened is Do we know what's up with mark marky mark?
00:14:14
Speaker
Uh wakutena wasi. Yeah. Um, nope, no idea. I haven't seen anything on him I also am not keeping my eyes peeled on that so Oh, well terry black that's a good. That's a sneaky good pick. That is a sneaky good pick And tom, right goes. Mm-hmm
00:14:30
Speaker
Yeah, that's the other thing like fly half kind of premium. You know, you don't want to get stuck with some of the like, there's there's some bad ones out there. I don't know. Sorry, chief's fan. I don't know who their fly half is going to be this year.
00:14:46
Speaker
I know. Is it going to be Trask? I, I, maybe, maybe anything about Gatlin. Like, I don't know, but, um, yeah. Yeah. It's Gatz. Although we'll see how long he's hanging around with the Alliance. Oh, fuck you, Mark. God damn it. Artie Savia. Artie. He's, he's actually captain this year.
Strategic Player Choices
00:15:10
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:12
Speaker
Who grabbed funny follow. Oh, well done. Well done. That's a good one. He's a, he's a convert, but he should be pretty good. Interesting. Okay.
00:15:30
Speaker
I think I'm going to do my best to try and pick somebody for value and somebody that will play week one. And sometimes we'll be both. Right. That's where I'm like, okay, they'll play week one. I'll take some points there. And I'm coming, you know, I got to get the turn. So I'm going to be picking someone else pretty soon. Right.
00:15:53
Speaker
What is the news on him husk institute who is sitting right there? Uh, I love me some husk institute too I definitely need something there. Okay. Hold on my team Is Yeah, i've got i've got positions that are hard to find good
00:16:12
Speaker
good, uh, good scores and in those spots, although apparently midfield is actually quite littered with some good stuff. So I guess I don't need to prioritize that much. So from a week ago, Nolakatin Owasi has been linked to Fiji, but has been retained by Waratas for the season. Oh, so he could go to the new team. That's supposed to be over there.
00:16:33
Speaker
Okay. That'd be awesome. Yeah, but for now, he's he's going to be with the Todds. Okay. And he was only hurt last year, right? He, he got a little banged up and then he also got found out. So like people figured him out. So they're like, yeah, I don't remember him score. I'm playing that many games. Oh yeah. I guess. Yeah. There you go. Simone. I wondered how long he would hang around. Yeah. Okay. Jeez.
00:17:05
Speaker
All right. I definitely want him. So there's one Hoskins. Yeah. I'm just looking his way. Right. Um, I don't know why Steven parapet is that high. I don't love him. Hmm. Oh,
00:17:23
Speaker
I like him. This dude scored a shit ton last year. He was almost automatic for a good majority of that. He was really good last year, if I remember right. So outside back, I mean, Chase Tia Tia, I like Salomoni Kata, yes, but I already have.
00:17:45
Speaker
Um I already have a brim the Brumby's front row. I don't need to lean on the Brumby's too heavily Though they are quite good. But Serani, huh? Yeah, like is he nice for running? It's another good choice, too Yeah, I guess I went away for I said I was gonna do but that's all right. I also need to I guess I do need to fly half Yeah, you're gonna want one of them Those are good For what I know at least Yeah
Number 10 Position Decisions
00:18:15
Speaker
Look out why not again again And oh man. Yeah again. He's good. Yeah, you got through he didn't he doesn't finish this one. I don't think I don't care popped it to him Uh, what do you think about matt tumu? Quality. Oh, I don't I don't get so draft yet. I'm not i'm not on yet. Almost there. Okay. I thought I was yeah, Anton's Taking this time as he as he
00:18:41
Speaker
Um, just because mitch hunt is the number one ranked mitch hunt's the number one ranked 10 available But i'm not sure he's gonna play much. I don't know
00:18:53
Speaker
But at least I've escaped watching The Masked Singer. Thank God for you there. Is that Mark? Yeah. Ooh, that's a rough night, man. I wouldn't want to watch that either. So let's see where I see. Ooh, that's not a bad pick either. I do like to move. I need a 10 and I don't want to wait that much longer because I don't like many of the rest of the 10s.
Draft Selection Challenges
00:19:12
Speaker
Right. Yeah, Mitch hunts a little flimsy and he's also going to be what's his face's back up. So, right. Yeah. I mean, I'll tell you what the force could be a sneaky one. He could be, you know, maybe that's a good backup. I don't know if I want that. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I want a proven commodity, which is what I went with. Yeah. As your starter. Otherwise you're throwing a long card in there. Right. All right. Come on, Mark. You do it. For my and for my next pick, I think I'm looking at
00:19:43
Speaker
At Tate. Tate McDermott. Yeah. I really like him. I really like him too. Like he's, and especially in this, obviously in scoring as well. It's going to pay off well. I believe. I believe. Where we go. Izzy Neisserani. That's a good one. And who else? Paisami. Okay.
00:20:01
Speaker
Yep. Oh yeah. Okay. That's not a bad one, especially if I'm assuming Colsey's ready to roll. Yeah. Oh, who just went, uh, Tate. Fuck George. George hears you from everywhere. George put a bug in your phone.
00:20:25
Speaker
That's some, that's some interesting under strapping that Marla's got there. Yeah. Wow. Nice. Stylish. He's a stylish individual. Yes. Yes. Man about town. All right. So with, well, there goes that. Right. So it may be down to, uh, where'd he go?
00:20:48
Speaker
Brad brad webber might be my pick although he even He spit the bit a little bit last year. Yeah, wasn't good. Oh, it's coming up on my pick. Lucky bolshear. Yeah current johnny off parafetta Okay, is there any news on the cure you wanty that I haven't heard? Um know about
00:21:13
Speaker
Cause I feel like he should have been picked already. Right. Well, same thing with Peter Ramaga, Jensen. Yeah. He's, I don't know if he, I assume he's going to be in the midfield more often than not. Um, yeah, I think that should be okay. Oh, the blue sign. Nepal. Allah. I did not know that. That's good.
00:21:38
Speaker
Yeah, I mean I think the blues best back row should have both the tutu and the kira you want, you know, so Right. Yeah, that's that's the thing It's a decent choice at the very least like, you know, that's your guy bus years off Right. I need I need a top flight Certainly. I'll lose forward at the moment. I don't have one I have enough at my back my outside backs are full up essentially. So now it's like
00:22:10
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Yeah, what else is available at the midfield though?
00:22:15
Speaker
Um, right now you're talking to villager. Um, I guess that's his gun. Fianny. Uh, yeah, it's a papaya. No favorite. Um, Hamish Stewart's in there and Kyle Godwin for the force. Yeah. All right. What am I? Who's in there? Billy Proctor, but that's a little far down. So who the hell is that? I don't know. I probably know who that is. And I just can't pronounce it. Yeah. Yep. He's pretty good.
00:22:45
Speaker
All right, Akira it is. Akira wins. Is it? Yup, done.
Player Selection Criteria
00:22:54
Speaker
Sometimes you're just gonna pick the obvious one. Yeah. And it's like, wait, why? I'm also like, why is he still available? Like there's the, well, there's, I mean, look, fricking David have really slipped quite a bit. And we know he's quite good. So, you know, sometimes it is a matter of what's the playing time going to look like that can be like your, your, your big hesitation, but should be too bad. All right. I think I know I'm going assuming he doesn't jump here actually. Hmm.
00:23:23
Speaker
Might go against something I said earlier, so maybe I'll do both. I don't know. Nope. I'm not going to do both. Well, James Ramm is sitting there. I remember him now. Yeah. He was the one that kind of replaced Marky Mark.
00:23:39
Speaker
Yeah, there's the new team that's going in it's over in Suva, and then there's gonna be one more as well. For 2022, which I think is gonna be awesome for their that whole region, that'll be so much better. That should help keep the rugby players in the area to jump and ship going, you know, and they can't even go across like
00:24:03
Speaker
We can't even go across the, to Australia and New Zealand. Cause it's like in the contracts now that like you have to play for them unless you're already capped by them. That's fucking annoying. Okay. Not bad. Not my favorite, but not bad. That smells quite good. Ram.
00:24:27
Speaker
Okay, there's that and then, I need one of these guys, if I remember right. Yep, I definitely need one of these guys. Bang. That guy. Aaron Smith, you could do worse. That guy. I do want Brad Webber now that I've taken a think. You've come full circle. Anton isn't here in me where George is. Down in South Africa. Yeah, that's a little too far.
00:24:56
Speaker
Yeah, the bugs don't reach that far. The wiretap isn't good for South Africa. It's all good for England. Specifically Essex. Or Sussex, whatever it is. It's one of the two. I can't remember which one it is. Sorry, George. My bad. Sex. Actually, he moved, so maybe I got it wrong. Anyway, go Marcus. Go Marcus. He goes. Go on, Marcus. God, get him in the knocking England team. Right.
00:25:21
Speaker
So that's the thing. Can we unearth like an un-American grandmother from Marcus Smith and he could play for us? Squidge's whole argument about. The dumb dumb that plays for 10. Ford being the best 10 in the world. I get what he's saying and what he's trying to do with that, Squidge. I mean, but no, Marcus Smith is better at that than George Ford is. Yeah, absolutely. Sorry. That's there's a lot of the highlights here. A lot of the highlights that he had on there. That's a good pick.
00:25:51
Speaker
I had him in my brain for sure Yeah, a lot of the highlights he had on there where he like either tired against tired teams or bad teams For the most part, right? And I was like, that's kind of stupid Yeah, I got I got some of the way through and it was funny So like that's what kept me through it for a while. Then I'm like, oh, he's hilarious. I just can't
00:26:10
Speaker
i can't do the uh yeah the george ford love i can't bet he's not back that sorry he's not that good also he's not a good teammate no like that's the thing shouldn't the best 10 in the world also be a good teammate like that's the other thing like he's not a really a good teammate so
00:26:28
Speaker
Yeah, and I'm not saying Farrell is. We've seen Farrell have his pads and goods, and even today, he probably has his pads. Even today, he's a dick. Yeah, so by no means am I saying that he is, but I don't know who the best 10 in the world is right now, honestly.
Draft Outcomes and Predictions
00:26:42
Speaker
It's not Ford. It's not Farrell. So we can answer that question very easily right now.
00:26:49
Speaker
And I saw you, Justin. Oh, there goes me. That's a good. Yeah. If that's his backup, that's a really good pick. Uh-huh. I do like that. You know, cause yeah, that's, that's really good. I'll give him that one for sure. Okay. So that's a good one. Although Jono Lance should be higher than. Yeah. But I think he's going to play more. Okay. So fair. That being said.
00:27:19
Speaker
Doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo. Yeah. I'm under no illusion that I'm going to have a full lineup come week one. Right. Oh, no. Not even. If you have a full lineup coming week one, you have basically all Aussies. Yeah. And you will get hindered by that. Yeah. You're going to have to cut most of them at some point, or trade, actually. Oh, hey, look at that. There's the young cat. Yeah, there it was. Yep. Nice. I went for a little dart. Well done, young man. Yeah. He has himself a day. For sure, in eight matches. Good for him.
00:27:49
Speaker
Yeah, he was on he was on one of the one of the better England U-20 teams they were talking about. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. So, you know, it'd be nice if, you know, England's coach actually believed in that type of thing. But but he doesn't. So I guess. Oh, Duncan. Not going to walk it in a loss. Oh, Malo's out as well. He's on the highlanders now. Yeah. Yeah. Which is why you guys stole Chase. Yes. Dicks.
00:28:15
Speaker
Although that could give Celesia Ryasi a bigger window to get some time, which I think is going to be a bigger concern for most people in New Zealand because the little bit of playing time I've seen him play and he's been electric.
Team Role Adjustments
00:28:29
Speaker
So we'll see how that goes. Oh, I need, I don't have any midfielders right now. That's going to have to change. You might want to change that. Most teams don't win without midfielders. Yeah, but I have so many points coming from so many places.
00:28:44
Speaker
There's Hamish Hamish Stewart's available The other mish Fianny, yeah, there's guys who are No, I don't want him I want and I'm up even Shit yeah, I have to take the Bite the ball on that one. Damn it
00:29:10
Speaker
What'd you do? Well, I have a small conundrum because again, I know I'm not going to have a starting contingency that's completed for this for week one, but also I'm not going to just like throw it all out the window. Actually. This is going to be the dumbest thing I could do with the smartest thing I could do. I have no idea.
00:29:36
Speaker
And Maddox said, hey, I want to join your team. And I said, OK. Justin. Oh, man. Justin, have you been drinking?
00:29:57
Speaker
Yeah. Mark, you're not watching Mass Singer. Just call it a win. Andy Muirhead. Okay. That's a good one. Fianny. No, nice to throw. It was one that I like. I like Michaelia too. That's a pretty good one too. Stevenson Corbetti. Yep. No, nice to throw was one. I was kind of like raising my eyebrows at cause I'm just not sure how much he's going to play. Um, but who was that? Oh, no, nice to throw. Yeah. Yeah. It's, there's a tough competition in that background. Okay.
Immediate Player Availability
00:30:24
Speaker
You're up. Here we go. Now.
00:30:27
Speaker
Is he still there? He is. Okay. I'm going to take somebody to play. Okay. That's a good one. That should be fine. So he's going to play a lot this weekend. Next weekend. Valentini. Okay. And somebody I'm a huge fan of, but doesn't have any stats to back up. So this is going to be a total log card. Him or no.
00:30:54
Speaker
Him in. Oh, wow. So that's a good one. That, that completes my loose forwards at least. So here's the question for you. I I'm looking at Jake Gordon sitting there as a halfback. I already have Brad Weber, but you'll have a started this weekend. Right. And he's, he's good and can play based on matchup.
00:31:17
Speaker
Yeah, it means I don't have to worry about halfback for the year essentially I shouldn't if there's a weekend where Both neither of them are playing. Yeah, I tried to I tried to look at like those schedule I was like, oh man, this is gonna require all my whiteboard space. It's not gonna happen But even if they're like I'm just saying if they both get rested, you know Even if the teams are both playing you don't know having a schedule doesn't fucking tell you shit Unfortunately, it's not it's not like fantasy football um
00:31:46
Speaker
Well, I mean, hey, sometimes that's okay. Yeah. No, I like it that way. Yeah. Sometimes that's better. Like not worrying about what somebody else got, like worry about what's in front of you. Like, all right, do I have a good team? Do I have this? Do I have that? Like, yeah. Yeah. Sometimes worrying about that, you know, trash, cause the first fly off on the list for the chiefs. That's the bad news for you. Yeah. Oh shit. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yikes. I mean, he's also probably,
00:32:13
Speaker
Actually, yeah, it shouldn't be that way in this but I already have oh wait, do I I have to move it though? That's the whole thing. That's fine. So you don't need to worry about that All right. Who's it? Oh, yeah, it does this Yeah, hopefully that's on bts ala kai aloto. Yeah That's on oh it bts. Yeah, I hope that's on bts and not peacock although i'm happy to play in peacock at any wake in turn
00:32:44
Speaker
But I would miss out on Shannon Frisell. I like me for some Shannon Frisell.
00:32:50
Speaker
Um, or I could go chase Tia Tia. No, I don't have it. I don't need it outside back That's the good news. So I don't need that. I can ignore that You're gonna need somebody to play this gummy weekend character. Well, I would advise that Unless you want to just eat the donut which is not advisable, but okay. Yeah I guess at this point you might as well just eat the donut and not try it like pick better pick the best players you can and right not worry about Oh Hamish what plays
Draft Replacement Challenges
00:33:16
Speaker
this weekend
00:33:16
Speaker
Hamish stewards of it. Wait, why the fuck is he still available? I don't know Depends on it depends on what the reds want to do with their midfield too true because they can play bataya there Yeah, you know, there's a lot that they could play there so he he might be uh Somebody that suffers from squad rotation not so much that all right. I'm gonna go with tom christie I like tom christie. I like him too So i'm gonna I want to see if I can maybe I can still get Jake gordon on the bounce. Maybe not
00:33:46
Speaker
I don't know. I don't really need it though. That sells off. That's the, uh, yeah. Yeah. Christie was quite good last year. Yeah. And I looked in for Zell, for Zell didn't score well last year. So I'm not sure. I think I feel like a lot of the, I feel like he got better when, uh, auto roll came back and didn't do he, you're right. He did not do well. Um, pre lockdown. He was, he was not great.
00:34:17
Speaker
Julia Montoya. I like that they're playing him a lot. I do like him. I mean, Argentina's hooker probably will be for the foreseeable future. Gus Crevey's not really part of that. Yeah, he's out.
00:34:35
Speaker
What do we got? What do we got? Come on, Mark. You can do it. Stop watching The Masked Singer. There you go. Attaboy. You're your best friend. Oh, Tapaya. Yeah, take him. I have no use for him. Maybe he's improved this year. I guess he'll have to take that.
00:35:03
Speaker
Didn't care. Oh, ooh, that's a penalty. I was playing eight for Lester Day Leibenberg.
Player Availability Concerns
00:35:12
Speaker
Leibenberg. Okay. Cause I know it wasn't beast. Cause that was kind of a problem for a lot of people. Like, no. Oh, you're going to worry that shit out of Mark now with that comment.
00:35:28
Speaker
Oh that that's all right. It's probably it's good for it It's good for mitch. Hahn tony pulu good one Um Yeah, what does my team look like do I have who just went for kettie, yeah, I need a midfielder that's gonna play this coming weekend
00:35:50
Speaker
Couldn't hurt. Yeah. Well, that's a good one. I might've been the guy I would have taken. Nope. Actually, nevermind. I'll shut my, I'll shut my face on the one I picked before you. Yeah. Oh, I wonder how much he's going to play. Fuck. Cause I like him. What? Why is he? Who? Why is Reese Hodge?
00:36:19
Speaker
Low. So incredibly low. Because you didn't play much last time. Is he broken? That's the other thing. He was banged up at the end of Tri Nation. So let's find out.
00:36:32
Speaker
I mean, if, if Dave Rennie wants to have any decent, you know, chance at doing well, he's there. He's there. He's there. How about that? That's a good pick. See, that's the thing. You never know with some of these guys who get like, and plus it's what, what round are we on? We're in 10th round. Yeah. 10th round or so 9th or 10th round.
00:37:02
Speaker
Yeah. 10th round.
Draft Surprises
00:37:04
Speaker
I'm taking fucking Reese Hodge. Not not. Yeah. At this point, it is definitely take what you feel like is going to work. Oh, I should not be talking with George. The bugs still alive. Let's see what we got here. Oh.
00:37:35
Speaker
You know saw that Okay, yep, don't pick him so george george did a good job. Oh vince also
00:38:01
Speaker
Don't be an also do not be an also Conk God one. That's not a bad idea. I don't love it. But at the same time if that's not your one of your starting midfielders, that's I'm super pumped because it's not Reese Hodge George Bridge, that's a good pick. That's a good pick Actually, hold on So I just was reading about the Crusaders that lost a couple guys. So I'm gonna double-check this and
00:38:51
Speaker
Because he's also a midfielder right because doesn't he play in the doesn't reese hodge play in the outside backs or is he one of those guys? Yeah, he'll play fullback sometimes. Yeah. Hell, yeah Yeah, we'll see how that goes, okay Don't mind it. Okay. I am up
00:39:08
Speaker
Jake Gordon, then goes that. All right. All right. Let's see what we got here. Oh, man. Yeah. It did end up picking. So I didn't end up getting. Oh, Freesia McRae went. That's go. Damn. I like Duncan's picks there. Mm-hmm.
00:39:29
Speaker
How oh jay cordon just went i he was still available. Yeah, you what he just went. Okay, but you I don't think you made a bad pick by any means. No, i'm not i'm Yeah, don't tell you fine. No, i'm not i'm not don't do that Don't you dare because I had already mentioned him and you were there so it was too late too late. Um Fuck a duck um
Evolving Strategies
00:39:58
Speaker
Something that's going to play this weekend. Oh man. I hope I don't regret this, but you know what? I'm not going to do that. I'm going to take best available, which right now is this guy. I don't know how much he's going to play, but we're going to find out. Okay. And then did you pick chase you? Okay. I like him.
00:40:27
Speaker
I like him a lot, too. Mm hmm. Oh, you. Hmm. Oh, he is there. That's interesting. All right. I'm not gonna lose my head about that, though. To actually have all my have everybody but a lock. This is great. Yeah, I'm doing pretty well. And my starters and now it's okay. Now it's all Yeah. All right. I'm gonna live with that. I'm gonna live with that fact. And I'm just gonna go with what I what I need. Alright, let's do this.
00:41:00
Speaker
Um, I don't like him that much he this guy played so well when it came back from Lockdown i'm gonna i'm gonna take a chance on him Finley christie, hmm Don't dislike it i'm actually i'm i think with my next pick i'm going brin gatland
00:41:22
Speaker
Yeah, that's not a bad idea because I already have tamua Hopefully that was us gatlin. Well, he's on the chiefs now So there's only so long only so long before he's gonna be before dad picks. Oh dad dad doesn't have a shot It doesn't have a chance to yet or um Okay, he went over all stuff. Well, I mean hopefully he's not
00:41:45
Speaker
But he hopefully he's not mike ford. I might and he's more die young in the fact that Yeah, he'll make him really earn that that shirt But I also think gatlin is better because gatlin also beat dad twice last year. Yes, he did gatlin to beat dad Yeah, so it's like he is good. He can do it. It's just a question of is he is he the starter? And for now i'm gonna i'm gonna Take a gamble. Yeah. Oh at this point. It's totally worth it. It's a hundred percent worth at this point. Um
00:42:15
Speaker
All right, I need they're not playing this weekend are they god damn it no they're not That's not helpful at all. Oh duh, I know exactly what I'm taking next as long as nobody else takes him. Hmm Easy answer I know Rob Carney is available. I
00:42:39
Speaker
Yes. He's playing for the force. He's playing for the force. Okay. So, so in your, uh, in your opinion, Carney or Bryce Hagerty? Oh, Hagerty had a bad year last year. Unfortunately, that's the one thing that lingers in my brain and Rob, Rob, they're both quality. There's no doubt about that thing. Yeah. Um, it's, it's also a matter of where does Hagerty fit in his team. Carney's playing.
00:43:06
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Like if they don't pick him, they're stupid Really as long as he's not broken if they don't pick him they're idiots So and Hagerty's gonna have to fight like hell to get his place. So right Yeah, sure. I thought Hagerty actually played pretty well last year at least towards the end. He got better at the end. Yeah, I
Optimizing Team Composition
00:43:32
Speaker
Okay. I can't pronounce that guy's name from the blues. Where? Uh, he's an out, um, outside back. Jacob rats. Oh, hello. Yeah. Let's not, let's not, I've had too much beer. Let's not try that.
00:43:49
Speaker
Yeah, let's not butcher that poor boy's name. Wow. That is a mouthful. Ooh, hello. But then again at some point Nahuacatan Owasi was a mouthful, so. Yeah, and we figured that one out. We'll figure him out too. I'm gonna have to hear it before I. Yes, I agree. But it is a very, a Kneepkins. That sound, that's a, but is that a Kneepkin? Is it sort of hard K? Right. There's. Yeah, you never know.
00:44:11
Speaker
Don't know what the hell is going on there. I'm not even gonna try it You don't want to do that. No disrespect to him at all. It is poorly for all of us I just yeah, i'm trying to not disrespect him by not even not attempting his name. Yep. No, I don't want him at all Um Just want to look this up Nope, okay. He's not in there. Oh nick white is sitting there has a potential backup
00:44:40
Speaker
Yeah, he's he was pretty good but um in premise going if I remember right He'll take a dart so oh man he okay, oh Duncan got
00:44:54
Speaker
push britain arm and brin hall oh okay i don't brin hall didn't do anything if i remember correctly yeah like he or drum and neither one of them did well i um i don't think that was an intentional pick i think i think uh duncan just missed it did he duncan wake up yeah he's uh doing his quiz sounds boring it does sound boring
00:45:18
Speaker
Oh, who did he just pick? Scott Barrett. Scott Barrett. I mean, definitely the best lock in the game, probably. He'll play six sometimes. All Peter Gus Suicula is supposedly the best loose forward available. Probably will score all right, but he's just not pretty when he does it.
00:45:42
Speaker
Um, i'm gonna give you this piece of advice. I don't think he'll be at least healthy like see only if he'll be at least loose forward Yeah, i'm not. No, i'm not looking at i'm gonna be looking his way i'm looking at duplessi kurefi Dewey and liam wright liam wright's heart And i'm not looking at liam wright But I do have I do remember seeing that No, okay, so I have two Kiwi loose forwards. I need an aussie loose forward Yeah, I have
00:46:11
Speaker
What's what's Brinehart standards deal standards deal? He's pretty good. If I remember from this past week this past year Yeah, he doesn't have any stats though Joe Powell was moved on to the rebels As um as they're starting halfback, it's not too bad Yeah, that's pretty good Oh Man, I'm gonna be courting people here. Well, well
00:46:42
Speaker
Yeah, I think I'm gonna give the okay. I know what I'm doing giving loose forward a pass on this one. I Think I know what I'm doing as long as it doesn't go super sideways Yeah, I'll take a took a fire here we got five picks left. Mm-hmm Well, I know how I'm spending two of them. I think I'm definitely going Nick white on this one Nick white
00:47:13
Speaker
Cause I, the loose forward, it wasn't looking good. The was the water ties front row. Are there any, how many front rows are left? Um, blues chiefs force. Right. Not great. Yeah. I think I see who I'm taking to potentially play this weekend. And Mark just went, what do you get? Jonathan? I can't, I'm again.
00:47:41
Speaker
How much time attend a something yeah, something like that i'll go with it newbie new one on that one That's a new one
Performance Potential Adjustments
00:47:49
Speaker
for me chief Four so I need uh So i'm gonna get a backup Half back that works. Oh, I don't need a backup flus forward but that i'll just cut people if I have to
00:48:16
Speaker
I'm up You up chief Nick white is mine All right, I think I know as long as I don't think anybody's gonna go with this guy And I Should be good. I think I'm gonna take her belly as a guy that could actually play this weekend
00:48:42
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know how the fuck fuck a Tava. See below fuck a Tava flow fuck a Tava. Okay. Yep. All right. Yeah. I'm gonna go Cabeli because he potentially potentially could play this weekend. I'll be one more spot that I can fill phrasing boom. I need somebody else. Oh, I know exactly who I'm going. This kid played really well with super rugby EU coming in.
00:49:12
Speaker
I hope he starts. Who'd you pick? Joey Walton. Joey Walton. OK. And I'm going with the guy who I don't know. I can't because. No, you cannot. Oh, excuse me.
00:49:27
Speaker
that was well brought up too bad you weren't you only have one midfielder though uh-huh i'm i'm well aware you have three halfbacks i know no listen you know tell me something i don't know at this point you know you can only play one halfback through i know well i was like oh and you know i may cut cabeli after this weekend so may or may not
00:49:54
Speaker
I may decide that he's totally worth keeping and i'll cut one of my other hat facts that I have yeah I have two I have two of them maybe I'll trade with them I don't know okay hat packs on the block if anybody wants one I got my Rob Carney there you go I'll actually have a I it's I could potentially have a pretty decent team week one I'm okay with that I dislike the prevalence of snipers yeah there's a
00:50:25
Speaker
There's definitely some good ones. Uh, why does, I'm guessing character doesn't have me, uh, sniping half backs, as it were. Well, he's got Joe Powell. That's all right. That works. He'll go for a run. You just don't want to Bryn Hall or.
00:50:45
Speaker
Or our Mitchell Drummond and now it's the same team, but still. One, two, three, four, five. Oh, wow. Duncan has five outside backs. That's a good, it's so hard to do worse with outside backs. It is. I'm just, you have, you still have other positions. I agree. Got to work on that. I just can only see that meaning you're going to cut one of them fairly quickly. Yep. Correct. Ooh.
00:51:15
Speaker
Interesting so I still need Hey, mr. Stewart's off with Jacob's in Alex
Season Strategy Impacts
00:51:20
Speaker
Newsome. Oh, yeah, there's some each a lamb And probably in prior is not bad Marcel Brock the Marcel I liked him US Eagle. Yeah Yeah, he's he's and he'll play wing sometimes right as well he could
00:51:41
Speaker
He played well for them as I recall for the force. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's usually one of the better players for them on the field. Yeah. And I anticipate a good improvement from them this year because now they know the competition they're playing in, they understand, you know, the game plans that they need to bring to the table in order to be competitive. And how to play 80 instead of 70. Yes. That was the big thing. I mean, you could see them die at the end of the game, just fall like,
00:52:08
Speaker
60 minutes on they're just pooped and the other teams like oh, you still have 20 to play boys. Let's go Yeah, I'm surprised Lester
00:52:25
Speaker
We're keeping it this close. I mean, at this point, this is where I just, I didn't watch the second half. Oh yeah. One of the other games came on. Yeah. I was pretty sure that was the case. That was the case. Oh, five, six, seven, six. I know numbers. Five. There it is. Four, three, two, one. And Duncan stuck with somebody. Peter got so cool. Well, he'll score. Okay. Usually.
00:52:59
Speaker
Who's the George pick that they were talking about? Oh, look, Jacobson. Yeah, he's pretty good. What do we got here? Is that Levis? No, that was Simmons. Oh, okay.
00:53:24
Speaker
I couldn't tell which lock was trotting off there. I'm pretty sure it was Simmons. Was that a yellow card? I do know at one point. Yeah, I think it was. Oops. I think he got a card. Whoopsie day. That was creepy.
00:53:40
Speaker
Dallas McCloud. We'll see what he does. He's in a really talented team, unfortunately, the Crusaders. But likely, likely, no Braden in on it this year. So they're going to need to fill that position. Quite good at that. So we'll see.
00:54:03
Speaker
Trade leverage. Haggerty off the board. All right. Okay. I mean, at this point, that's not a patch. That's a total dark throne. There's nothing wrong with it. No, I think I would have, I, he should have been gone by now. I mean, I was considering him earlier because I think he deserves to go earlier. I think, uh, people passed on him. Quite a bit. Yeah. Ill, ill advisedly. Yeah. All right. I'm taking Marcel. Got to have a, uh, an eagle on the squad. Absolutely. There's Lina.
00:54:32
Speaker
Yeah, this kid is lighting it up this year so far.
Exploring Team Dynamics
00:54:36
Speaker
I mean, now that he's gotten some time, that's two, but he's also got a couple of big runs in his bag, like he's, I think he's got a shirt for a little while at least. So it looks like Anton would invite. Why yours?
00:54:54
Speaker
No, Justin. You said, don't do it, Justin. Well, he did it. Too late. Because he had the safest thing alike, man.
00:55:19
Speaker
So with right injure, that means Angus Scott Young is going to get a serious amount of time. I would imagine so. That would be my thought. I liked hidden. Connor Garden Bash Up. Interesting. Okay. I'm trying to figure out why. I'm trying to understand why I shouldn't take for an ARD standard. Yeah. I'm going to take Kahui. Yeah. That's my other midfielder. That's a good one.
00:55:43
Speaker
Do it. Thank you. Say, do it. I got two more picks to go. All right. What do I have an abundance of? I know what I have an abundance of. I have one too many. Yeah. I've accepted the fact that I'm probably not going to have
00:56:09
Speaker
a starting fly half this coming weekend. So with that, I'm gonna go with Mihart and take Jackson Garden Bashup. There you go. Yeah, he played, when Atarola kicked in, he played incredibly well, considering whose shoes he was filling.
00:56:33
Speaker
He was feeling a pretty good player in Bowden Barrett's shoes and did quite well. We beat the freaking Crusaders with him at fly half. Called a win, man. I know we didn't win the league, but that was still a pretty awesome win, just the same. I was pretty damn excited when that happened. If you're going to pick a lock, do you pick the best one or do you pick somebody that's playing this weekend?
00:57:03
Speaker
Best one. Okay. Going with white lock. You're going to be on the other side of it anyway. Oh, right. So it doesn't matter. That's the question is, do I take a lock?
00:57:19
Speaker
There's still all the blues chiefs and force front rows. I'm not gonna take the force front row. No, you should not. Don't do that. Definitely don't do that. Blues and chiefs. I don't remember the chiefs having a good one. Great. Definitely not. Parton, I think James Parton is gone now too. Or Parsons, excuse me.
00:57:49
Speaker
Yep, he is gone. And that was definitely one of the better parts of the blues front row. Once upon a time.
00:58:06
Speaker
All right. And then after this, we'll find out, um, week one match ups. Hell yeah. I'm so pumped. I'm so, I'm so excited. Although depending on what everybody's talking about, I think the super, I'm going to come out while you and I are asleep. That's not going to go well for us. No, we're going to be a little bit of a disadvantage on that one.
00:58:33
Speaker
Unless it's on like Perth time, which is not gonna happen. I can almost promise you so yeah about that I Might have I might actually go blues front row Mm-hmm. Just so I don't have to worry about a front row this season, right? I don't think anyone is Nathan Harris back
00:58:54
Speaker
And tonky. Oh, that was that was another one. I just don't know. What would get me more points in the end? Having a lock like white lock or two palazzo? Oh, no. There is a rumor from a week ago that this could be Colsey's last year with the chains. That'd be a fucking shame. I'm not going to go with a lock. I'm going to I'm going to go Carrick style.
00:59:26
Speaker
Yeah, no lock. No lock. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that in any way, shape, or form. I was going to have no lock in one of the prem leads this weekend, but I made a completely boneheaded error and left my hat back on the bench when the game kicked off. So I went, bless you, I went and just plugged in a lock because it's going to score about the same that I would be out. Who did that? Who did that? What? Mark. Yeah, he did.
00:59:55
Speaker
Ah, you sniped it for you. I bet you. Let's see. What was it? To get Habeelie under the radar. See, only Habeelie's broken, dude. That's pretty sure.
01:00:17
Speaker
I'm down to fucking Chiefs or force. Good luck So that means no, I'm not going any of those things I mean Exactly there's no there's no bad pick. No But I'm 126 they're ranked 100. No, I'm just gonna take the Chiefs front row. There you go. See I need your senses
01:00:42
Speaker
Because if you didn't take him, I was going to. All right, let's go. Outside back. Told a little shot in the dark. What do we got? Pinkus could be interesting. Pinkus used to play for Bristol. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They away. So Tia. Hmm. Josh. Oh, I like. Oh, Josh. Mackay's on the Crusaders now. What? Damn. Why did I miss that?
01:01:11
Speaker
Masamata, LA pretty by Eat a day. I'm not liking any of those options really right. I mean, this is a total shot in the dark Well, yeah, let's pick James Lowe's brother Jonah. I'd like Nankaville better than I have I now have three midfielders. I don't need Good got that covered Harry plumber I could just go for
01:01:38
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, best available is definitely him. Yeah. Sam knock is available. Didn't he, I already have a billion. I already have a billion. I'm good. I am good on that. Um, fuck it. Sam white lock. Yeah. There you go. I mean, Phil's out the position. He'll get your points. I'm not going to.
01:01:59
Speaker
He's not gonna bring any value whatsoever with one, but you know. All right, here we go. Into the, oh, come on. Why'd you keep me all the way up to home? Let's go to the match-ups. Yeah, but I'm not saying it's a good idea. Should I kick you back to the league? Would be nice. Yeah, kick it back to the league table. That'd be good. Oh, I got George week one. Okay, so that means I probably have Mark or Justin. No, you have Justin. Interesting. Mark has Carrick. I gotta make sure.
01:02:29
Speaker
And make sure I set these things right. Maybe I was drunk when I did this. I just wanted to double check. It's you, me, George, and Mark. Okay. So as long as I got that right, that's fine. So, I mean, the matchup selection might be a little more random because of the shorter schedule than the premiership. So that's okay. Might not start with the inner
01:02:52
Speaker
Interdivision matchup. Yeah, I'll start. I'll live with that. Okay, that's interesting. So How many players do you have potentially playing this weekend? I'm going to my lineup now. Yeah, it's on mark on two Getting this case of the spins there it is. Okay, so I have no spins 1 2 3. Oh wait, it's still loading out 1 2 3 4 5 6 available. Okay. I have
01:03:23
Speaker
One, two, three, four, and that includes my front row, which is good, five, and six. I have all outside back positions available.
01:03:35
Speaker
That's going to be a problem for me. I only have james ram I have both midfielders. I could I could potentially feel both midfielders Um my halfback. Oh, well some of my and my front row. That's what some of my um aussies aren't available So like reese hodge isn't available matt to move. Oh, yeah, because the rebels are off rebels are off shit I didn't even think of that. So it's not just
01:03:59
Speaker
And so it's not just Aussie, you got to worry about who's on by for Australia. Yeah. Whoops. Okay. Well, there's that, there's that little hiccup right there. Oops, Daisy. Well, that'll be interesting at the same time, but yeah, I think I can live with the six that I have. Um, let's see, just on a little, a little scouting on my own here. Um, let's see. Justin's going to have one, two, three, four.
01:04:28
Speaker
Oh, yeah, let me show you one, two, three, four, just potentially gonna have five, but three of them are gonna or two of them gonna be outside backs. That's pretty good.
01:04:41
Speaker
George has I mean, you know, oh that's funny cuz he's got Ian Pryor Oh George. Okay. So here's the thing George has three midfielders available this weekend That's pretty good. Um, but also you could but also you only get to play to to Kind of a problem. So we'll have dog unu at outside back. Mm-hmm
01:05:04
Speaker
Oh, no, i'm sorry. Pulu too. Mm-hmm. Tony Pulu. Yeah. If he plays. And then Parisi, Godwin, and Pattaya at Midfield. Hmm. Very interesting. Very interesting, kids. Okay. Well, buckle in. Buckle up. Okay. We are gonna
01:05:23
Speaker
being for a ride, especially while we've got premiership, Six Nations, and Subaru kicking off this weekend. So, Ben and I are going to be busy boys, so be patient with us if we kind of fuck around and do something stupid.
01:05:36
Speaker
Be patient. I promise we're not being idiots for a reason. Like we're either just being idiots or we're like, we got our heads going 10 different directions. So that's just how it goes. Um, we will try and have, we will have start set for this week for this. Um, thankfully there's only a couple of match ups so we don't have that we have to include. So that shouldn't be a big deal.
01:05:54
Speaker
The following weekend is going to be a son of a bitch. Right. So be patient with us while we get our shit together. Get our head squared. I know last year, the worst last year was the Jaguars because they took forever to put a line up out. Like right, you know, five minutes before the match. So.
01:06:14
Speaker
So be patient with that. Thankfully, none of these teams are that bad. They'll put them out usually a week before or a couple nights before. So that's, that's the good news.
01:06:25
Speaker
So we should be able to do the super rugby on like what a Wednesday or Thursday. Probably Thursday. And then Friday we'll get the... And then Saturday you'll see the Six Nations. There we go. It should work out quite well actually. So just be patient with us while we dick around. Thankfully we've got a system now where if one of us
01:06:45
Speaker
is kind of dropping the ball because something comes up in life that we can pick each other up now too so it's not just reliant on one of us so that's the good news um other than that yeah we'll be back this week you will but thanks for hanging out with us guys um good luck drafting don't don't make any stupid moves hopefully you've heard the guys that we know are
01:07:05
Speaker
