Rugby Draft Preparations
00:00:08
Speaker
How's it going, everybody? Fancy rugby, Hank? We are getting ready for our draft. We're just, what, one minute away? One minute away. One minute away. Yeah, we were able to kill the draft last week. Right. Everybody else was an invite, so that's good. Right. That's not bad. Nope.
Player Transfers to Japan
00:00:33
Speaker
Yeah, we were looking at, obviously, there's, I can't imagine,
00:00:39
Speaker
So unfortunately with the with the props and hookers this year on in this format at least it'll be They're gonna kind of turn into locks. Yeah in a lot of ways Pick anybody with a pulse is gonna be valid. Yeah Because I mean hookers probably a little bit higher up So like Malcolm marks should be and dang coals were probably the first two guys that go off the list Because they're a little more dynamic then although coals did not travel with the hurricanes
00:01:08
Speaker
Squad this year from what I understood for for the first two matches because they're going to Stormers and then Tarzentino or to play guessing Malcolm marks won't be selected at all though
Impact of Player Departures
00:01:19
Speaker
Cause he, uh, he went to, yeah, he's off to Japan. He's another one. Oh my God. I was going through this last night. Like, holy shit. There are a lot of dudes that jumped ship for Japan. I don't know if it's for a year or if it's like permanent. Who knows? But yeah, the lines lost a bunch of, of important players. Marks, uh, Stephan Lewis, who's tearing it up for the Queens. Yes, she is. Um, Klaga Smith's gone. Right. Nick groom. Yep. Um, obviously Fath has, has, has vacated for sale. Yeah. Lionel Mapo.
00:01:48
Speaker
Yeah, Mapu's playing for stud front say. Yes, he is. OK. Ooh, hello. So yeah. As is Ruan Kombreink. Kombreink, yeah, he's gone. Kyle Brink should be actually a name that people kind of keep an eye out for. He's low. If you don't have the upgrade, he's low on the rankings. But he's going to take a lot of, he's going to pick up a lot of the slack for these guys. Marvin Orr, he's gone. He plays for Osprey's now. Unless that's, unless he's, that was just a loan, which is a possibility.
Live Commentary: Bristol vs Gloucester
00:02:19
Speaker
And while we have our draft going, we're also got a Bristol versus Gloucester on the telly. On the telly, so you can hear. So we may end up. If we have a loud shout, I'll make sure that it doesn't get too loud in your ears. Yeah, I mean, I got, let's see, just this match alone, I have Thacker, Afola, Vui, Ben Morgan, and Marshall going. Yeah, from Cheerio. Yeah, I'll be paying a little bit of attention to that, too. Vui's got cupping marks on his back there from his soft tissue. Hey, don't kink shame.
00:03:04
Speaker
Yeah, we do have a significant background noise here that's not too bad I don't think the people will hear it
00:03:14
Speaker
And here we are, about 45 seconds to go.
Draft Strategies and Picks
00:03:17
Speaker
I have the fifth overall pick. Jared has the turn. Yeah, I got the 8-9. Yeah, the 18 lead. Snipers is in. There he is. All right, cool. Uh-huh.
00:03:39
Speaker
And then, so while we have the Gloucester Bristol game in front of us, you know, it's interesting to note which coaches and DORs were willing to give their internationals not from England a rest and which ones were willing to say, ha ha, you're screwed anyway, bud. Yeah. So the likes of Owen Williams and Louis Reesameter and the Gloucester team. Oh, and we're on. Yeah, that was kind of scary for the Saints yesterday.
00:04:09
Speaker
Oh, very uh with it wasn't wasn't so much uh, was it
Evaluating Draft Selections
00:04:13
Speaker
hutchinson? That was the you know, it was there was someone else but who was it? Um pierce rance's pierce francis, right? That was a scary tackle. Yep, um, but I can only imagine that uh You know the the uh scottish were looking at that and saying, uh, can you could you leave can you get him out there? Get him off the pitch before he hurts himself
00:04:31
Speaker
And there's our first two off the board, Wonga and Damian Mack. Surprise, surprise. He's going to be electric this year assuming that his knee is good to go. Yeah, as long as he's healthy, he's going to be lightening up. I see no reason to pick anything outside of that if you feel if you're feeling good. Let's see if Carrick's actually. Hey, Carrick made his pick. All right. And then so several recent Hagerty go the next to the top two scores from last year, obviously.
00:04:54
Speaker
Oh, and I'm up and you're up. So that leaves you usually a bit of a selection. Good selection. I'm just noticing this. You want these lists as a midfielder this year is interesting. I'm not sure how that's going to work out, but OK. I mean, either, but I'm going to draft him. That's not he did all right for me last year. Yeah. He still knows what the trial line is. Oh, and you're up. Oh, I'm up. I got paper right before. Yeah. OK. Well,
Player Performance Insights
00:05:22
Speaker
I guess I can't be a Hurricanes fan if I don't pick this guy. How you going with Bowdoin? No. No, Jordy. Who actually might end up playing a little bit of fly hat this year. Yeah, I would imagine he would. That's definitely up there. And this guy did so well for me last year. It's a little off the radar, but I'm going to do it.
00:05:43
Speaker
Who was it? I can't see the ALB. Okay. Oh, that's a great pick. Yeah. Gents for hire went Josh Yawani. Um, our friend Terry went Will Jordan. Will Jordan is going to be a beast. He's going to be a beast this year. You watch. Oh, and I'm up again. You are up. Jesus. Michael fast. This could go very fast. This is way better than some of the ones we've had before. It helps that I think everybody except one person's off online. Yeah.
00:06:09
Speaker
Brilliant. Oh, wow. But everybody's going really fast. Yeah, everybody's making everybody knows their decisions. Good for them. We appreciate. I'm taking Bowdoin. Yeah. And see, here's the thing with him. I don't know how much he's going to play. Yeah.
00:06:23
Speaker
You know, I'm not falling into that trap. I just did. No, not that. No, there's no there's another trap out there that we actually we talked about with Sam and I'm not falling into it, which means that I'm going to fall into it because you know exactly what one of those don't
Avoiding Draft Pitfalls
00:06:39
Speaker
remember. Yeah. Well, then it sounds like a you problem. It's very much a me problem. Uh huh. Let's see. Oh, I know. I remember that. Yes. I'm not following you to that. Yeah. You don't want to fall into that trap. All right. So this will be.
00:07:01
Speaker
Somebody we're drafting with some smart individuals here So they they knew to make sure he didn't fall too far. He is gonna be a monster. Yes Then we got
00:07:14
Speaker
Braden in or off the board again, another, Crusaders just turn out backs like it's no big deal. So they'll be, and somebody needs to replace Crotty as well. And partnering with Jack Hood Hugh is nice. It's nuts. So, despite that mullet. It's good work if you can get it, I guess. It's easy work sometimes. Yeah, right. You know, playing outside Richie Mwanga. Not a terrible thing ever.
00:07:42
Speaker
All right, a little scrum midfield action for for Gloucester, it looks like. I'm sorry for Bristol for Bristol, I think. Yeah. I don't know. I can't tell. Oh, no. Simpson's got the ball. So it's it's a Gloucester scrum. It is a Gloucester scrum. Go Simpson. I have him at least one team, if not two, either in my F.R.D. team or in my T.R.M. No, that's a lie. I went with Cook with my T.R.M. team. I got shafted on the whole scrum half thing because I have urine. I had Spencer and I have really kind. So I was like, ah.
00:08:14
Speaker
I was like one of the, I knew, obviously we knew Heinz wasn't going to play and then Darren got thrown into the doghouse. So I'm thinking, all right, maybe Ben Spencer plays. Nope. Wigglesworth is the, is named the starter. I'm like, damn. So there goes that.
00:08:24
Speaker
I'm really excited about this Harry Randall kid. I can't wait to see. I'm, you know, I'm hoping he generally brings a spark when I love him. George Bridge is the next. Oh, man. Another another crusaders. Well done. Yeah. Anybody that's offline is going to end up getting that trap. And I won't I won't I won't say where it is yet until we unless until it happens. Yeah. Unless they somehow get around it.
Midfield Selections and Tactics
00:08:44
Speaker
Hopefully so as I understand it if you have the manager pro thing then he's not he's not on your He won't be high up because it's a it's a known thing. Like yeah, he's probably not gonna score well this year I'm surprised that there's a there's a player on here who hasn't come off yet Who I think should be ranked a lot higher and I'm probably ended up taking him. There you go Similani off. That's a good pick Yeah, I need to because he did he tore it up for me and uh
00:09:13
Speaker
Yeah, I think just think that's way too low especially with the the additions to the team. Oh damn it I Wanted him Ben lamb. Yeah. Yeah monster There it is. Sorry. I think that's our that's our newbie. That's our rando. Sorry, dude Yeah, that's there's the trap already survey. He's out for probably another five months. Oh
00:09:33
Speaker
Oh, I'm up so I can I can make my pick. Is your guy still there? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's still there. It's Solomon Alomalo. Oh, yes. For somehow ranked like thirty nine. Like, no, no, no, no. I was like, I think it was a first round pick last year and he did really well for me. So well, I mean, that's where he finished. But, you know, you look at average and you know, points per points per 80 minutes or points per minute.
00:09:55
Speaker
Yeah, I mean he started slow because he had a couple like he had a red card He had a couple just shit games and then all of a sudden he was just I couldn't keep him Or you couldn't keep him out of the try zone. Well, hopefully this Europe over this pic makes me Pretty much in Johnny indefensible in the in the midfield here Rob Thompson and Josh McKay went between our picks. Yes, you did courage Ronnie you did and I
00:10:21
Speaker
I really don't want to take this guy, but I'm going to because I have a I have a dislike for him Oh, but I also have to use my brain and Not favorite his favorite towards to too much. What are you doing?
00:10:36
Speaker
went elton yankees elton yankees yeah i i don't again we we know that we don't you and i don't have a a high regard for him but as far as point scoring goes like much like we don't really care for george ford in the prem he still scoops a fuck load of points so question since i'm up uh what do you think of my pimpi well how much playing time is he gonna get uh well you know what i think of him i love him well i know you love him i'm just wondering is it and i'm just thinking as a a fantasy player now i've i've already gotten uh
00:11:06
Speaker
One player who might be limited in terms of playing time. Oh, I think I think it'll be fine Well, then i'm taking my pimpy. Yeah, I don't think I don't think I don't think you'll see him Really hurt hurt and then fair enough because I had I had some good Where'd he go? I like my balance so far. I got the two outside backs a midfielder a fly half
00:11:28
Speaker
Yeah, I got two midfielders and outside back on the fly half. So I'm not complaining about where I'm at. Yeah, I mean, I figure, you know, something like 12 plus points a game is pretty good. And he was about 13. Yeah. So that's a good that's that's a good pick either way. Beals back to outside back. So I don't see him as as big of a value as he was last year. No. Oh, damn it. Somebody took my idea. Well, I mean, it wasn't enough.
00:11:51
Speaker
It wasn't a mystery idea by any means whatsoever. Cruden. Cruden. Yeah. That's right. I have another one. Ha ha. There you go. I have a couple of my sleeve. Let's see which ones I'm able to execute.
Technical Issues in Draft
00:12:07
Speaker
Bears are threatening. Oh, there's Louie taking it down. Close. Ball handling with hookers is up. Yep. Whoop, whoop, whoop.
00:12:27
Speaker
I'm up, I swear. Hughes, oh god. Oops, somebody lost. Oh, I mean, how many players? Oh, is that Reezamit's glove? That's what it looks like. That's funny. Yeah, players, you know, I'm hurt, I'm hurt, I'm hurt. Oh, the ball's coming this way. All right, get away. Here we go.
00:12:41
Speaker
Atwood with the ball carry here carl dixon. I like carl dixon. I really do. I think he's better than most of the referees in the league And that includes the guy we saw last night. Oh god fully. Yeah, he's got off I guess he almost knocked it out now. He's gonna lose it Well, he lost his feet um, it looked like that might have been an array has taken buffelli buffelli not not bad he doesn't
00:13:08
Speaker
Jaguar is definitely going to find some good value in, obviously.
00:13:13
Speaker
You know, I had conciliary last year and he and what games he did play he played very well in So, uh, it's hard to like poo poo on him. Yeah, he scored about 14 points at a clip there I think I have my next yeah And then I had I had one of the midfielders for jaguars too. I don't remember my been Orlando but yeah, there was you got to find the value there obviously they're the
00:13:36
Speaker
They're that bastard child. Oh, no, it's the replay. This is the replay. Damn it. It's like, oh, they're doing it again. Easy does it there. Yes, they have a replay. They have replay technology.
00:13:48
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, just because they're obviously not in any of the three big countries that they're that bastard child, but they obviously, they showed their fight last year by getting to the final. So they're not to be ignored by any means whatsoever. They don't have Lavonini, obviously he's playing for Leicester. I believe Matera left for somewhere in France. I could be wrong about that.
00:14:15
Speaker
So there's that he went to stan francais. Yeah. Hey look at that. Look at me and my knowledge Yeah, I figured I'd have the uh The thing open with the page open with the transfers. There you go It's always helpful to be able to talk about stuff like that.
Player Contributions and Team Dynamics
00:14:30
Speaker
Oh Good you good you good pick. Huh? I like that. Good you good pick. Yep. Very yeah, I like that
00:14:37
Speaker
So I'm thinking since you're not you're not in front of me, so I can tell you whatever the fuck I feel like it. I'm looking at. Wait, is he gone? Yeah, I'm thinking Brad Webber with my next pick. That's a good pick. Yeah. Halfbacks are halfbacks and flyoffs are definitely going to be those rare, rare, rare players you need to pick that you need to be able to get a decent, right? Decent one. Oh, and I'm up.
00:15:06
Speaker
So here's the thing I think Herschel Yankees is highly underrated here
00:15:13
Speaker
Yeah, because he didn't he was splitting time, right? Um, and he's obviously they obviously know his abilities now after a year both with them and I still think it's a little too early for him Um Not a bad backup though, but yeah, but either way i'm gonna go with brad weber I think that's what i'm looking at it. Yeah, obviously i'm looking at halfback I think i'm gonna go with wet. Yep, anagon with weber
00:15:35
Speaker
And there it is. Frisell is off the board. That's a good pick as well. Yes, it is. Tom Banks finally comes off the board. I was waiting to see if he would come off the board. And that leaves me. And I really love Wes Kucin, but I'm not going to pick him because I already have Jordy Barrett and I don't need too many hurricanes on my team. Oh, so I am. I am going to take the Fijian born Australian Corobetti. There you go. That's that's usually not a bad way to go. All right. Let's see what we got here.
00:16:05
Speaker
The tackling machine from Australia. Fuck you. Michael Hooper. Nice. That was my next pick. Yeah. I got to get a little. He wasn't coming back to you. So if you wanted to take him. Yeah. Yeah. So come on. No, he doesn't want you to do it. So just don't do it. Oh, you jerk. Let's go. Come on. Don't be like this. Pick someone else. Oh, come on. Let's go. Why is it being like this? Because it wants it wants me to have him. Yeah.
00:16:32
Speaker
Did I disconnect did something happen here? All right. I'm gonna reconnect. I'm probably gonna end up autodrafting which sucks. No, you still have I still have 50 seconds. Okay. Oh Unless it autodrafts when you kick out It looks like I'm still up so yeah, that's a good thing I mean, there's a couple good loose forward still in here The worst thing happens is it gives you goose and yeah, it's true
00:16:56
Speaker
Um Or did or maybe was he picked before no, he's here. I am so lost right now Because I don't have him on my feet. This is weird Let's see go to the loose forwards. Uh Nope, it's it's Did it glitch on you? It must have glitched on me
00:17:15
Speaker
Well, let's see if it, oh, let's see if it just counts down and then yeah, it just gives it to me. If not, I'm, I'm either going to end up with a complete outside back starting three. Oh, at least, or I'm going to end up with a loose forward, but those were that I tried to choose. Three, two, one expired. And would it give me.
00:17:35
Speaker
Uh, yep. Give me, give me Susan. Okay. Well, that's unfortunate. That's fucking weird. That, that was not what I wanted to do. No. But okay. I didn't mean for this to happen, but I'm taking- At least you get yours. I get mine. That's bullshit. Yeah. See, he's not even on my list now. Okay.
Strategy Adjustments During Draft
00:17:54
Speaker
Maybe we'll work something out. Note, FRD. Note for you guys. Because I don't mind taking Goosens, and maybe we can work out. Maybe we can make that switch. Maybe we can make something happen. All right. I know again. Let's see, picks. Oh, I'm up. Yeah, you are picked. You're out. Fucking A. Wait. Hooper's still on my board. OK. Yeah, now mine's screwed up. Oh, boy.
00:18:24
Speaker
All right. Yeah. Oh, maybe it's a Hooper thing. Maybe it's the Hooper thing. That's unfortunate. Yeah. Maybe he's going to go to free agency. Do not try to pick Michael Hooper. Yeah. Apparently, apparently there's a, there's a Hooper glitch. There's a Hooper hoop. Yeah. He's not on my. Oh, that's weird. Okay. Well, maybe somebody else will grab him. Okay. Moving on.
00:18:48
Speaker
But I can still draft. So there's still plenty of good guys to draft. Yeah, I think I know the directions that I'm going once it comes back to me, but. Because especially with my back, my back, almost all my backs. Well, I got someone I could take anyway. Would you? Would you end up with Reese Hodge? Reese Hodge is a good pick. I like him.
00:19:16
Speaker
The hell to move okay, I'm very confused by all this. Yeah, there's something definitely didn't didn't put mine Pick up is very something very glitchy going on right now. Yes, really concerning Okay, I just bounced in and out and I
00:19:39
Speaker
Come on boys Don't tell me that this is gonna be a thing. Hopefully it's not our connection thing here. I don't think so I think this there's just some sort of I'm gonna be stupid and turn my wife. I don't know just to Oh Bristol have a personal broken the deadlock here. Yeah gotten on the board with three. Yep With my kicker Callum sheetie, yeah, he's mine too. I
00:20:10
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. So I still don't see my boy. Oh, and I have my Ray. I should have. Yeah. I don't see my picks not up there. Well, we'll see what happens. Yeah. That's that's concerning. Um, but it's in my team, huh?
00:20:25
Speaker
So like yeah, so yeah, he's not I mean Hooper's not in mind. So It didn't work for me. See where you don't be an asshole. I mean Yeah, you have goose and so yep. Okay weird That goes that picks Aaron Smith. All right. So where we get Aaron Smith and Smith. Okay
00:20:47
Speaker
Tomo Amanu, who I think got moved. I think he was an outside back and he got moved. Yeah, he was an outside back. He's now a midfielder for the Chiefs. All right. So what am I, what am I looking at? I have two outside backs, two, my midfield's complete. I like Hodgin and Yoani. I can, I'll take that. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be so strange if he's, if he is legitimately playing midfield this year, it's going to be very strange. Barrett and Weber, Bowdoin Barrett, that is. Right.
00:21:18
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe at the end, I'll take a sympathy pick at Loose Forward as a guy that I might take just as a laugh for my last pick, possibly, especially as I think I'm going to end up with a lost pick.
International Duties Impact
00:21:36
Speaker
Probably.
00:21:38
Speaker
Let's see who else has fallen off the board here, but Tista del gi again Gotta consider these jaguars. He's another good one. He was very consistent for them Yeah, like I said, I can sell area last year and he played really well for them Diaz Benilla is not a fly-off I'm excited to take so I'm gonna try and avoid him There's another name that's on it that's coming up soon and is he there must be there unless he's already been nabbed Yeah, there he is. Look on your arm
00:22:08
Speaker
you
00:22:08
Speaker
Yeah, I've been I've been that's uh, he he has outside back ability, but he's listed as a midfielder So that's another good one that he was my when I was looking it was between really him and hodge when I was picking last um So I that he's definitely a good pick and you don't have to worry about me picking him because my midfield is full at the moment There you go. I have other I have other picks to take good things to do Yeah, and my i'm very very satisfied with my midfield of uh, yeah alb and uh to be the current johnny. Yeah
00:22:38
Speaker
Hard to be mad about that. That's why there's still not a lot of the outside backs have kind of risen they're rising to the top because They're they're just kind of getting in the way. There's a lot of people have them who just went off the board virtual Yankees. It goes your guy
00:22:50
Speaker
Yeah, I could pick. Obviously, not terrible pick at all. Karak has got himself on the book. Oh, snipers fall off my anger. That's not a bad one. That's the, that's the hooker. Yeah, that's a very good, that's a, as far as the hookers go, there's a, there's a short list of
00:23:08
Speaker
of guys that I'd want and he's on the list. I like Liam Colton. Obviously, Dan Coles would be another one to consider. He didn't end up playing a ton. Cody Taylor is another one that I would definitely consider as well, especially with slightly less limitations on these guys playing time this year because obviously there's no World Cup. So that'll definitely help.
00:23:33
Speaker
Right. And they've had enough significant rest since then. So they might just be go full bore. What else? Eddie, like I said, Coles did not make the trip for the opening two weeks for the hurricanes. They're in South Africa the first week and then they go into Argentina. Ah, so Coles is hanging out. He's back home.
00:23:55
Speaker
And another note on the hurricanes, especially since I already have a fly half and you do too. If you're going to pick a hurricane's fly half, you probably want to take them both because they don't know which one's going to play right now. They really don't. You know, you could probably find some information out there that said that, you know, says which one somebody prefers. Someone's already taken. What's his name? Who? Didn't they already take? Let me find it.
00:24:24
Speaker
Big money, no whammies, no whammies. Unfortunately, Carrick. Auto drafted, Sean Stevenson, and then Bill Meeks. Bill Meeks went as well. That's you up now. There we go. Me.
00:24:40
Speaker
So I don't have any oh, no, I do because I have a my pimpy So I have at least one South African that makes me feel there you go But I think I have a South African he just plays in the ceiling Loose forward, I don't really I'm not really that impressed the loose forwards at them Oh Bashir like Bashir, but he's still too early. I can take him later. Mm-hmm Yeah, he is yeah, yeah, you got a little time on him
Analyzing Player Rankings
00:25:07
Speaker
I have a fly half so I'm not worried about that. It's time for an outside another outside back Do you know you filled I'm not filled ahead. Oh, okay, then you have so your room so I can go with spec man could see ya Yeah, spec man kind of fell off. He started super hot last year They fell off big time and really it really ended up hurting the Bulls. He let petty could do well
00:25:28
Speaker
That, I mean, so here's the thing. That Rebels team is probably still going to play the same way they played last year, which was a lot of scoring. Yeah. Maybe not so much defense, but a lot of scoring. Yeah. And he's going to be in the key to all of that.
00:25:44
Speaker
Yeah, he played very well last year, obviously. He shall be mine. Yeah, he was it. He was a good, good pullback for them. And our friend Terry is up. Who's played with us all three now, all three of these that we've played, he played. He's in one of our prime leagues and he's also in a. He's also in the it was in the last one we did last year for Super Rugby, so yeah, good to have him along. Jaco could see. Oh, that's interesting. There it is. That's interesting. Yep. OK.
00:26:14
Speaker
I was wondering when he would go. I obviously saw when I was looking at Terry's picks not popping up. That's too bad There's a party. You got some glitches going on here. It's it's not popping up for me. What do you take? Oh, oh, it's not popping up for me either Yeah weird. Okay. Yeah, how far do you guys got some glitches to fix here? Sorry to call you out, but it's it's not good I need I need I need one of these guys. I want to see 54
00:26:39
Speaker
No, yeah, but what's his uh, what's his name? Backrow. Backrow. Okay.
00:26:49
Speaker
Finally, let me take one. I took Pete Sammo. Oh, man. Oh, God. I am not liking this. Yuck. Okay. Rethink that. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay, that's an idea. All right, I'm gonna put that in my back pocket. I don't want, I don't need it yet. What I am gonna do though. I think you might've taken TJ Peronara.
00:27:19
Speaker
Oh, that explains why he he wouldn't disappear unless he took him earlier. Here's um, well, here's my answer to make sure that I have two decent fly halves Who'd you go Matt Tamua
00:27:33
Speaker
Okay, it's not showing up. Yeah, that's weird. I just looked. Yeah, just that didn't show up. My first one showed up, but that didn't. Okay. Look, Jacobson's off the board next. Uh huh. I'm thinking if so. Yeah, I'm up soon. I don't think I'm looking at that Joaquin Bonilla. Yeah. Do you? Do you have a 10? I do. Okay. So yeah, I wouldn't lean on him, but he can be good in spots. I have Bowdoin Barrett. Okay. So I'm not when he's not playing or when he's off on, you know, he's on by.
00:28:03
Speaker
Mm-hmm Yeah, I mean you're gonna need a backup 10 because not all these guys are playing every round right it's too much travel too much I'm just wondering what's the best? Because now I'm looking at backups. I mean, I don't think I need a loose forward just yet Of the ones that are left probably not Yeah, you got a little time Probably a little plan a full three loose forwards. We are Parts. All right, or are we? Yeah, we are
00:28:30
Speaker
So it might be time to take a... All right. I'm thinking... Matt Duffy. Okay. Good pick. And now I'm going to go Bashir. Okay.
00:28:50
Speaker
Do you have a loose toy I don't have any loose. Oh, that's why I'm this might this might be time to pick some up here Yeah, I see him down there. I don't know that he'll be back around back if I wait so
00:29:02
Speaker
I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get one between now and the other guy I'm eyeing, but I see one I really wanna nab, especially with some departures that have gone around the league here. I'll see. We got that, we got that. I need, yeah, I desperately need. Yeah, I mean, I know the one place I need to look coming back around here is gonna be Taftback.
00:29:32
Speaker
Just seeing guys who are coming up. I Hadn't seen him before Peter stuff to toy. I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yes. He's part of the year Yeah, again. He was another guy that ended up really just getting limited because because because of World Cup duty coming up and then if I have Peter stuff to toy in my team and I need him for the World Cup which he was obviously a huge part of for South Africa and
00:29:57
Speaker
Yeah, I'm putting the phone call in. Hey bench him. Thank you. Bye Obviously he came into very very very good Really came in handy for them. Oh I think I know my next pick. Yeah, I'm very excited about this. Actually. Yeah, he's gonna fill a backup spot. There you go Oh wait, you I can tell you cuz you're not in front of me. I'm gonna say I'm on the other side of you So I think it's time for Joe Marchant
00:30:24
Speaker
Uh, great. That'll be a great pick. Uh, i'm i'm excited about him Obviously the blues had a huge void to fill and I mean that in the every possible way Play play possible with the likes of um, sunny bill sunny bill and ma non-nubile departing. Yeah Neither one necessarily played a ton but deas bonilla is gone Open dolls gone mattias orlando is gone. I had him last year. He's decent. He ended up being decent um
00:30:53
Speaker
Our ball handle our balls handling hookers on is up now Dan Thomas Kind of seat bellish. Yeah Chris hair we're up to a six six match there. I haven't really been look watching. Yeah, kind of though It's I've been trying to keep track what the fuck's going on here, especially with this glitch going on now I have to I feel like I really have to pay attention because I don't like the way that's playing out. You're right There's some issues that I'm having yeah get some bones to pick with all of you. I
00:31:22
Speaker
Yeah, um, that is Andres could see as young as what he's on his way out. I think I saw that. I think so. Like I saw he signed up wins. Is that the guy I saw? Hold on. So I'm going to point something out that I don't think either one of us knew. And this is the downside of rushing to do other things. I think that's Sean Moulton playing for Bristol.
00:31:54
Speaker
Hold on one second. Um, no, Coetzee is still there. But I think he's on his way out. Oh, okay. Or no, you know what? It's Esther Hazen. That's who it is. Yeah. He's going, he's going on the coins. That's what it is. Sorry. Crossing my South Africans up. Is he a nice Iranian? It's a decent pick. So what were you saying? Um, I think Harry Thacker's elite scratch. Oh, fucking A. Yep. And that's what I just said. Well, that's our, Oh, I'm, I'm actually, I'm kind of okay with that. Cause, Oh, that's right. Cause yeah, there's Moray. It started Moray for me.
00:32:21
Speaker
Oh, okay. Well, my backup was Akker, so. Oh, that's. And he's on the, well, but he's on the bench for sale. So, oopsie daisy. No, a little lessio. Oh, this is a, this is a new, new pick. Okay.
00:32:36
Speaker
Somebody knows a little bit more information than we do. Yeah, Scott Barrett, which yeah, whatever again locks with a pulse are usually worth Yeah, we're okay. I can't yeah, I can't knock the
Team Formations and Roles
00:32:47
Speaker
pick. It might be a little early But if you want them, I can't knock you play this play his ass off the right cop obviously shit. Ah I think I think it was a whistle. Okay But we going for an offload there. It's like yeah, and we had a
00:33:02
Speaker
would look like Nathan Hughes working his way to the try zone. But, uh, we got a little chip. Oh, oh, quick tap here. Is that not 10? Yeah. Dan Thomas takes it up quick. I thought we get the rock high. Oh, seatbelt tackle yet seatbelt dish. Yeah. I think you got him originally for not 10.
00:33:22
Speaker
Uh, yeah, uh, offload didn't quite go to hand. No Because I don't I don't know who's gonna stop a hard charging Nathan Hughes at full speed I thought he I thought somehow he had chipped that ahead but apparently he just nah, you knocked it frying pan hands oopsie daisy Yeah, that's not something I'm standing in the way of by any means whatsoever. No, not with a head of steam on the wing like that He's not gonna have many people
00:33:47
Speaker
Yeah, uh Yeah doing that standing in his way. Mm-hmm. Shit. What was I I hadn't I had a plan, right? You did Fuck I'm coming up I'm up. All right. There you go. So we just had uh lasagna and joe powell taken. Oh, right
00:34:10
Speaker
Thomas lasagna. Yeah, and joe powell joe powell is a good pick. I like I liked him and what he did for um Brumby's last year. My plan was for joe marshett Well, there's your there's your plan Executed uh and executed man. I am so not liking that um What ease I was looking to try and fill a spot and i'm not really liking what's in front of me. So um
00:34:38
Speaker
All right, let's have a look at this. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Nobody, nobody, nope. Ah, I like that, okay. That might be one I go with. It's a little early for it, but in order to not have it completely fall. Oh, nope, actually. And somebody's definitely gonna grab this, hold on. What are you doing? I'm thinking. Sort yourself out. I'm thinking. Leave me alone. Don't hurt yourself.
00:35:07
Speaker
No, did somebody just take him? Crongy. Nope. Oh, there's 70 there. Yeah, we missed. Yeah, I think you just took the guy I wanted. Who are you looking for? Went to Douglas. Chris Harris was forward. Probably going to feel tough. It was raw. And no, no, no, he's there. And no Karen. He's there. Is he? Yeah, he's there. OK. Oh, maybe. Oh, so another was forward. Must have been taken. Yeah. Maybe it moved it off because it was there. You can go scumming and Douglas.
00:35:37
Speaker
Yeah, I could if I wanted to. Yeah, I'm taking him first.
Dynamic Draft Environment
00:35:44
Speaker
And then. Done. Thanks for that suggestion. Why did I say anything? I don't know. I'm not inside your brain, nor do I want to be. No, no, no.
00:36:01
Speaker
That doesn't that doesn't make sense to me third premier ship start for handy. Harry Randall this season I mean, I know we're only like 9-10 games in but still it feels like a little low Yeah, well, but as we said it appears that here Andy urine's been put in the doghouse. So He'll get more opportunity sounds like so Dean Cole's you said is not playing the first two weeks. Oh
00:36:21
Speaker
No, he's not. Doesn't necessarily completely devalue him, but no, it, um, it does take a, if you're on a split, that might be the, Cody Taylor. I mean, I liked, I liked what I saw Cody Taylor last year, obviously. Right. And so did sort of the all blacks. They kept starting him over calls, which was baffling. Well, again, it's hard to, it's hard to just be, it's hard to really complain when you had the two of them. Cody Taylor is now a member of the Dan Yankees. There you go.
00:36:49
Speaker
Yeah, see your pics not showing up. That's weird. Oh, turn up on my board. That's all that. Yeah, that's that's good. You know, every every every so often one of yours shows up. But not not to the level that I would really like. Yeah, I would prefer that they all show up. Same, same, same. All right, let's see what we got here. And.
00:37:12
Speaker
We're about halfway through the draft. Yes, we are Give or take let's do a quick recap. I Have on my squad my outside backs. Yeah, especially we got to Caleb Petty my pimpy. I'll Amalo At the midfield. I have Joe Marchant Reese Hodge Rico. Yoani. Mm-hmm fly half is Bowdoin Barrett halfbacks Brad Weber loose forward is Lachlan Bashir and my hooker is Cody Taylor. Nice. I
00:37:35
Speaker
Yeah, let's see how I got Basically 10 out is solved for me outside backs are bear Jordy Barrett Cora Betty from the rebels Wes Houston also from the from the Hurricanes ALB from Antoine Leonard Brown in the midfield along with to be to current Johnny. Hopefully that's a set forget it for me Elton Yanchis and Matt Timur are my two fly halves. Hopefully between the two of them I can find a good play every week and
00:38:01
Speaker
Uh, my back row currently is set, um, with Marnus Newman, Pete Samu and what to Douglas, both, uh, all three set up to hopefully take that down. Um, and then I have no locks, no props and the hookers. And I'm also very much missing a halfback, which will probably be my, the next thing I try and solve. Matt Phillip is off the board. Okay. Yeah. This there's not a lot of, um,
00:38:27
Speaker
There's no names that are necessarily down in that 250 default range at half pack that I'm looking at, but there's some names that are...
00:38:36
Speaker
a little further down, then I wouldn't then you would think that they'd be a little higher. So I'm going to investigate a couple of them in the this next pairing. Yeah, like I'm looking at this. Duplessi Karifi is is extremely low. I think he's going to. Well, so there's no arty severe. Yeah. And I believe they lost another loose forward as well. So you're looking at him definitely getting in there.
00:39:00
Speaker
I would say, um, why do I feel like there's another name that, that left the hurricanes? Uh, looking at it now, at least forward. Uh, no, it's the hurricanes. It only has Henwood and Bedwell Curtis as leaving. It's not as already severe read. Okay. Interesting.
00:39:23
Speaker
Um, so that'll be where am I? Oh, okay. Chris is up. Who just went on lucky McCaffrey. Okay. I, I, I, as a, you know, as a fancy asset, not fantastic as a player and a person to watch. I love locking McCaffrey, you know, that's so they obviously, they don't always,
00:39:38
Speaker
equal each other out. But it's I like watching him. He's great. Here we go. All right. So would you think? Okay, so here's here's the question of the three that I'm really looking at. Karifi Fafita and Peter Steph, Detroit. Man, I mean,
00:39:58
Speaker
I mean, you might get your problem solved in a second here, but I think Fafita's gonna play eight while Arty's to be as out. Dan Kuls is off the board, all right. There goes that. So Fafita, you think is gonna be? Yeah, and I, and you know. But Karithi will be seven? Yeah, he'll be open side. Which I think would be more valuable in some ways. They're both, they're... Six is definitely the most, the least value thing here, unless the six is a lock.
00:40:25
Speaker
Right. So, Allah, Maro Toge, Nick Sique from the Saracens, that generally play, that are listed as locks, but they play six quite often. So, that's a thought.
Significance of Player Availability
00:40:36
Speaker
Yeah. As far as that goes. So, if you think, like Scott Barrett, Scott Barrett's been picked already. He potentially could play a little bit of six this year, I would imagine, for their Crusaders.
00:40:47
Speaker
Obviously shown he can do it at an international level. So Alan Alatoa is off the board. Ooh, Alan Alatoa. That's it. Is that a hooker? That's a fun name to say, yeah. Yeah. Say, is that their hooker? I was trying to just capture it in my brain. Yeah, Rangi was actually a fun one for me to watch for a little bit last year. And then he kind of, his loud throws are shite. But if they're going well, that's a good one to pick. Who's that? Alato.
00:41:15
Speaker
No the Anara Rangi for the rebels the rebels hooker gotcha. Yeah, probably their best hooker will knock on So it was it was a shot to nothing absolute shot to nothing Why trio looks like looks like Blake is a little too busy Well we can
00:41:44
Speaker
Uh-huh and Liam Colton there goes that Damien Fitzpatrick and yeah, so it looks like the the autodraft is now trying to fill out Yeah, the team as opposed to like, um pick it so but you're up. Let's go Where'd my guys go? Curitie I have one. Oh, yeah, it's time to definitely get one. Yeah Yeah, the show malton. Okay, we do Plessy Curitie. Yep, uh
00:42:13
Speaker
I want an odd name. I want you to, now that you've picked and you probably have a little time, I want you to scroll down to the outside backs and see if there's a name at the bottom there that kind of strikes you. You? No. Oh. Go to the outside backs, scroll down to like that 250 range. Yeah, like two team qualifying guy. Nope. No, just keep going. There's one that's going to really jump at you.
00:42:41
Speaker
You're gonna laugh. I don't know. Maybe he's not listed but on the oh, I know who you're talking about No, I know exactly you're talking about he's fucking magician The wizard the wizard Harry Potter, yeah Somebody he must be calling him the wizard on that team. Oh, I don't doubt it and thing is he was born late enough that like his parents that intentionally
00:43:02
Speaker
We think the dudes like I mean shit he's like 20 Yeah, something like that. So which means that he was born in 1999 or whatever like Harry Potter came out in like 1998 Yeah, his parents knew what they were doing Sorry, one of the originals. Sorry, dude
00:43:20
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah, he was on my list to look at because apparently they really love him. So, I mean, yeah, and it's just too easy of a name to skip over. You know, you're going to be hearing constantly. Yeah, that's that's a good. I wanted to point that out to you and see if you had already picked up on it because I noticed it this morning when I was going doing my last little bit of a rankings check here. It's like, oh,
00:43:45
Speaker
Yeah, I do that as a poor bugger. All right. We have some picks that I've got off the board. Jack Dempsey and Julian Montoya both off the board. And that brings me to you. Yep, that brings brings me up. I'm going to solve the halfback problem right now.
00:44:08
Speaker
for one and then the other one's going to be, uh, this guy, hopefully he has a slightly better season. He did last season, but it was pretty good. And then the same nonetheless. Oh, yep. I Lizzo, I was thinking about, uh, no, that was, uh, it, uh, looks like it, it skipped over me again. I mean, I Lizzo Kibaka, who I, who I like, um, as a prop and was obviously very good.
00:44:31
Speaker
He is 100% that bitch. Yeah, exactly. No, I took loose shooter as well. OK. The halfback from the Sharks. So I solved my half. I've now solved my halfback problem. Hopefully that's the last time I have to think about it. Hmm. That makes me think now because I don't have. Oh, still I still need another loose forward. Mm hmm. Yeah. And yeah, I think I feel pretty good about how I filled out that. So now I can.
00:44:59
Speaker
But I still oh, yeah, I still have my now I can either start feeling the bent off my bench or I can start Attacking the weight the nobody positions Papa Eley is still Dalton Papa Eley. Yeah, very good Very good. I have a lot of blues
00:45:14
Speaker
You better hope they're good this year. Yeah, I think I think they'll be better. I think they'll be better. I think they'll be better. Obviously, if bone bear does play as much as they're hoping for. Yeah. Then yes, he's going to definitely drive that ship a lot better than no offense to anybody like Terry Black. Yeah, he was not sorry. He had he had an opportunity in front of him and he did not take it. No, he did not. So that's
00:45:36
Speaker
And I was I was high on them last year. I was very high on them last year. And a lot of people were. I felt, you know, felt a little bit a little petty for him because, you know, it's tough. It's a tough situation. You know, this is this is this was Carlos Spencer's team. Yeah. You know, and the legend that he is and to just not be able to step up and take care of businesses probably heartbreaking for him a little bit. Johnson Holmes goes off the board. Harry Johnson Hymns. He's a big, ugly prop.
00:46:03
Speaker
Who's the Scrum Hat for the Blues? It was Ruru. I don't know if he still is. It was one of them at least.
00:46:19
Speaker
But maybe they'll be better with the better better ten ten That's the possibility. I could help them out. I'm just thinking cuz I'm you know, if I'm considering I have a lot of blues, you know Maybe you want to consider I think I'm gonna reconsider that do some Yeah, get some diversity I'm going with with Detroit
00:46:39
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, you know what? I'm not. I'm going with the man. The myth. The legend.
00:46:50
Speaker
Oh, OK. I went with Khaleesi. Khaleesi. Yep, that's never. He was hurt a lot last year. So for me, he didn't score super well. But at the same time, like, you know, he's still seeing Khaleesi. Yeah, he's got, again, that rest since the World Cup. He should be. He'll be. I think he'll be OK. Ready to go. And he's, you know, he's going to have a he has to back it up now. He had a fantastic 2019. Obviously. And he's not one to he's one to understand that that's a challenge just for the future that, you know, yes.
00:47:18
Speaker
He doesn't have too many great seasons left and he can't waste them. Yeah, um, let's see Yeah, is every he played a lot. He played like 11 ish games last year I don't remember how I don't know how accurate my old cheetahs, um played 11 games I scored about eight eight points a clip. That's fine. I'll take it So it's I mean at this point my that's not your first loose forward off the board. Then that's not bad No, he's my third. So so there you go Bet there are worse ways to fill the back row out, right?
00:47:44
Speaker
And I can still I'm still going to draft another one later. Uh, 59 at halftime for Bristol and Gloucester group. Bristol are up good for them. Finally playing a little bit better. Let's see if there's anything else. It's live. No, there's that one.
Late Stage Draft Strategies
00:48:00
Speaker
Oh, wait, I didn't want to do that, but OK. Well, you can check in on it, I guess. Yeah. Oh, five three is 36 minutes in. Oh, it's at Bath. It's at that. Oh, it's at the pond. It's at the swamp. Yeah. Oops. At the bog. Let's see how this should be interesting. This looks.
00:48:20
Speaker
Oh, not even that much better. Five eight. Five eight. Sail up. Sail on a yellow card. Oops. Let's see. Ofa Tawangafasi is off. The prop. Teniela Tupo is off. Another big boy. So we're starting to see. Oh, no. I'm not going to have the best props. Let's say we're starting to see the props come off the board, which is fine. I just can't imagine that there's going to be a ton. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what's going to be.
00:48:50
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know what's gonna be very valuable at this point for props and, you know, obviously, front rows are just like, you're gonna need to, you're gonna be changing so many props and front rows. That's what we found out with TRM. Right, it's not worth it. I carry five in TRM props.
00:49:10
Speaker
Usually yeah, something like that because you know, yeah. All right, you got a backup for each side I only have four but but then you know Yeah, if you have a bat if you are if I mean you can't eat their specialty position. They don't change They don't change in TRM. So that's the thing. So it's not unlike that in this case Ashton Ashdown almost There we go. There it is. Yeah, I knew that I needed points. Did you have Ashton? Oh, yeah. Oh, I've Ashton in in FRD
00:49:43
Speaker
I think I had him as a don't start. I think I had him as a sit.
00:49:47
Speaker
Yeah, but but that was a two meter try for a back so Yes, it's five points. But how much more is it gonna get? Uh any picks? Um, I have three i'm not trying to pronounce that. Oh, yeah. I'm not trying to pronounce that mark. No. Oh he that's a good pick What do you know that's a very good pick? I know that uh, fuck what I don't know what team he's on, but I know they love him Let's see
00:50:15
Speaker
Me jog my memory. Yeah, copy paste copy paste search outside back for the waratas. Yeah. Okay He's got a guy that has but I I read an article that they love him and he's doing amazing things So he's going to watch he's he's real young but good for him. They're gonna give him opportunities. I
00:50:32
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, there's some opportunity to be had out there. Another and I think are we are you set with I have to I need I'm going to I still need to back apply. I'll put a I'll put a name in your brain that won't electrify anybody, but he's going to have to take take the reins for a big name. Mac Mason.
00:50:51
Speaker
fly out for the war toss has to take over for Bernard Foley's departure. OK. And so we'll see what. Oh, yeah. Maybe he maybe he's matured a little bit. He didn't necessarily play that well last year, to be honest. But to be fair, but he's he's there. Yeah, I mean, he was there. So it's if it's not your starter, he won't. And he turns into a frickin a bolter. Yeah. At this point, we're on pick what? One hundred ninety nine. OK. So at this point, this is kind of pick as you see. You know what? I'm going to take your advice there.
00:51:21
Speaker
I have two picks to go until my mind comes up. I still need another outside back or two for my bench, but at the same time, I think a backup fly half, especially like you said, this is a total flyer. I have Bowdoin as my starter. I would expect him to be playing if he's playing, he's on my team. Yes. Oh yeah, no doubt. This is really in case of emergency break glass, but also who the hell knows?
00:51:50
Speaker
Maybe he's available as trade bait later. Yes, that's also a possibility. Somebody could be desperate need for a fly half and you're like, I don't have sailor over. Sail over again. Oh, well, pick a debris. Yes, it's Dan. Dan's been playing out of his brain. Yes, he has. Oh, and he's on my team this week. Oh, that's a good pick.
00:52:18
Speaker
She has 18 for me, I guess, at TRM and TRM. Not bad. Well, probably all of this going, you know, it's all his kicks, but yeah, I mean, he's your he's your kicker. So yeah, there you go. Five penalties. Yeah, yeah, that'll do it. Yeah, that makes that'll do. That makes it fun.
00:52:39
Speaker
I'm going to have to search that later for Thacker because I don't remember. I definitely remember him being in the team. Pick 101. I got Mac Mason.
00:52:56
Speaker
There you go. Yeah, again, this is now time. This is time to take a couple of risks with your bench. Right. This is this is you know, this is now let's throw. Let's start, you know, don't overreach for certain guys. But, you know, yeah, if you see somebody that you really, really like, take him. You know, this is no longer your most. Your team has filled out the exception of locks, props and hookers, which again, as we've established, as we've previously established.
00:53:20
Speaker
Most of them are, you know, if they have a pulse, they're at least some value. Yeah. So, I mean, God, the highest ranked lock from last year was Scott Barrett. He was 102. Give or take. Yeah. But yeah. Jamie Roberts is still on the board. Yep.
00:53:40
Speaker
If you, I wouldn't, he's a great fill-in. He's not a name I want as my starting guy every week. I already have the three, so I have Marchett, Hodge, Yarny. So it's not as though it's, oh, you're up. I am. I am going to go, let's see, start filling my bench in a little bit. Do, do, do, do, do.
00:54:07
Speaker
How do I feel about you don't have a hooker yet? No, I don't. But I can grab I can grab somebody else to say a little more again. Yes. I have my team. I'm not sad about that. I'm not sad about seeing an exit or I want to I want a piece at home. I want a piece of the rebels. All right. Jack Maddox.
00:54:32
Speaker
So that's there you go. You know, I mean, I obviously have three outside backs already. I'm not ready to dip quite into those that that tight five group of forwards yet. But yeah, I thought I was not showing up on your team. Yeah. Maybe I have to. It's one of those stupid things. And then after that, let's see. I like him. I don't need that. I'm going to go with.
00:55:02
Speaker
Of course, Ama is still on the board. I'm gonna go with a guy that can both play Loose Forward and lock for his team. And I'm gonna go with Isaac Rada. That's my first day five player, Isaac Rada. All right, nice. Who just went?
00:55:21
Speaker
And then we got somebody else. Oh, Sonatla. I like him. He played really well for plays for the Storms. Yeah. Make sure I'm not screwing that up. I do. I do remember him last year escaping me, which team you played for, huh?
00:55:35
Speaker
I have my I'm really thinking of one of the three. Oh, I have like this a bunch that I can pick right here from Outside backs. I'm looking at news. Oh, yeah, you get some you got some good nice to throw my new II oh I love why new II personally. Yeah, that's just me though. I do too Again, this is this is not the worst time to go Go heat and see seeking players that you really like. Yeah, I'm just trying to think of oh then there's also new coast and cozy and
00:56:02
Speaker
Again, another great player. So that's the thing like I there's no there's nothing bad about there's nothing bad about it. There's just no win there. If you so if you don't find anything you really love, then you can fall back on that. Yeah. I think that's what that comes down to. I just don't know that I don't know the props well enough here, unfortunately. Mm hmm. What do you think of Slipper?
00:56:26
Speaker
James slippers pretty good last I checked. Yeah, so as far as like the props that are left that's not Completely inaccurate as far as where he's ranked. That's kind of what I'm thinking because it's time Start looking at that type 5 Yeah, I mean go slipper okay slipper it is don't get slippered I'm getting slippered
Final Draft Reflections
00:56:54
Speaker
So Mafi went before. Mafi went before you. My pick didn't show up. Yeah, that'll be it. Yeah, as we figured it out. Actually, there's another and there's one more name that is not listed immediately that I definitely want to at least have a peek at. And I'm assuming he's going to be on here. Yep. OK, I'm going to keep that in my back pocket. Somebody might grab him, but
00:57:25
Speaker
No, oh no Are you connecting I'm connected my just refreshed on me. Oh Mine's good. Okay. Well, that's good
00:57:38
Speaker
Oh, maybe we had a... Yep, looks like FRD hit the TV as it were. You know how like when we had the old box TVs and it was kind of screwing up? You can't do that with the TVs now, but yeah, it looks like FRD just kind of hit their TV a little bit. Everything went back to normal because now all the pics are showing up.
00:58:00
Speaker
Yeah, I see your Mac Mason pick. I see the diagonal pick, which is something that I did not see before. My Rada pick is now there. Your James Slipper. OK, so yeah. Let me hit read. I'm going to refresh. Yeah, because I'm not seeing that shit. Well, it didn't happen for me. At least one of us is. That got too tense. The characters that got too tense.
00:58:45
Speaker
Yeah, that happens. That happened. All right. Let's see where we got. We got ball handling hooker. He is on deck. He's taking Angus Taobao as his prop. Actually, maybe that's what something I'll do is I'll take two props and just get them out of my hair.
00:59:01
Speaker
That's kind of, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Especially with the, this is the advantage of having the back to back picks or near back to back picks. Like if you have a position that you know you're weak at, you see two names that you love and you just go, okay, fine. See my problem is I would like Scott's CO, but I already have. You have James Slipper. I have Slipper. So I'm not sure that that's terribly valuable. At this point, maybe not.
00:59:24
Speaker
Yeah, I'm thinking, yeah. I could take the man, the myth, the legend, James Parsons, and his blue scrum cap. I loved when they did that last year for him. It was like his 150th game of Blues or something like that. And they pass in a bunch of cardboard scrum caps. I'm like, yes, this is great. Please, somebody else just continue to like keep doing this when somebody is like known for a certain color scrum cap.
00:59:48
Speaker
Like, obviously, Cionic columnophony for Lester wears his red one very often. And it's usually pretty obvious which one he is. So that type of stuff I think is really cool. What do you think of Alex Hodgman? Bless you. What was that? Lose forward? No, prop.
01:00:10
Speaker
Um, cause none of the name that jumps up me necessarily, um, Tyler Lomax playing for the hurricanes is going to play a lot. Nippalala for the chiefs is going to play, uh, quite a significant amount. Uh, I like the two of them for sure. Um, in your Kanye, hopefully he's, I don't know what his status is. Right. Cause obviously he had a big kills injury at the world cup. Um, I'm not going to, I would grab him. If you're going to grab a third prop, that's probably somebody to grab, but I would not grab him as one of your first two. So you're saying Lomax or Lula Lula Lula.
01:00:38
Speaker
Yeah, la la la that's gotta be casey la la la's nephew or something like that I'm gonna go with Lomax. I don't I have a significant number of Chiefs. I don't know how many hurricanes I have I have creepy nice Yeah, let me see actually I don't have any Chiefs. I Only have five three Chiefs. All right That's not bad Lomax it is
01:01:03
Speaker
Uh, I like turtle. I liked him. I like that move for the hurricanes too. They really needed some help. Um, so have my front row. Fuck. Yeah. Yeah, you do. And now I don't have to bother drafting that because the rest of them are going to fill in.
01:01:20
Speaker
Okay, so that's his brother. Wow, Nepalala. So if you don't know the name, Casey Lalala was a pretty good back in his day, I believe for the Crusaders. First brother to be a prop. What happened with the jeans there? I don't know.
01:01:38
Speaker
Uh, yeah, so yeah, well, that's like, uh, it's like, uh, was it Manu Vinapola? Where the fuck did he come from? Right? I know you got these two giants. Oh, I mean, he's a cousin, but not a brother, but still same bloodlines. It's like, or in like, even like Tom Young's and Ben Young's, it's like, all right, which one of you ate the other one? Basically, right? Did Tom Young, was there a third brother and Tom Young's ate the third one? I don't know. I don't know these things. So let's see.
01:02:06
Speaker
So I think I'm I think my next pick I know you there's you're in the way. But I got an idea. I might end up going Jamie Roberts. Again, if that's your third.
01:02:19
Speaker
He's my fourth. Oh, yeah. OK, there's nothing bad. There's nothing bad. The thing is, again, I have the two blues. I have Marchant and Yawani. Right. And if one of them is not playing or if the blues are on a buy, I don't want to be too fucked. And again, this is that that if Jamie Roberts turns out to be fucking awesome for the Stormers.
01:02:36
Speaker
Oh, it's a it's a bolter. It's gonna happen. Yeah, absolutely. That's a See here and Andrews and Isaac Lucas come off the board and I'm gonna go ahead and start working on that That front row there a little bit. Yep. I'm gonna go with Chris here's prop Michael Alatoa And then I'm gonna take Casey's brother There you go
01:02:57
Speaker
There we go. Done. Why? Because we're at the 120 and it's like throw a dart at the freaking wall and see which one sticks. We're in round 16. Yeah, a little bit of spaghetti at the wall type of thing. So at this point, yeah. Okay. Who just got picked? Pita Sawakula. I can't pronounce that shit. All right.
01:03:19
Speaker
Uh, I'm up. So that was, uh, let me see. Uh, back picked. Oh, so we're cool. Yep. Yep. That's what I said. Yeah. Um, she's, she's the sword. He was, he was big for them. Um, in a lot and a few spots didn't get a ton of playing time per se, but definitely, um, put up some good numbers when, when he did.
01:03:37
Speaker
Again, it's interesting to see like these are names. We know one of the only here. We don't see them written out. So I'm like, oh, fuck, I know that. For you, this is well, it's funny because the Mrs. was looking at and Dean Roberts is there we go. Is a Yankee. There you go. You. The Mrs. was looking at the the tweet that we that I posted of our text. Yeah. And she's like,
01:04:04
Speaker
I don't know who that is. I'm like, you do. Yeah, she just doesn't. She'd never seen the name written out. Right. Oh, OK. She's like, I don't know who that is. Oh, yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. And then she's and then she looked because I think I dash tied it with the same thing that Squidge had said. So she's like, oh, I do know who that is. I was like, yeah, there you go. Yeah. Now you've done done figured it out. All right. So my midfield is. Fuck, I like my midfield. Yeah, you get you get plenty of midfielders to go around. Yeah, I'll be all right.
01:04:33
Speaker
You should be fine. Now it's time to fill out. I might have, I think I'm going Wainui next. I love Sean Wainui. I do too. I really do. I mean between him and Nanai Satoru. Who started off hot last year. Super hot. Because I think Alamala was hurt and Damien Mack wasn't quite healthy enough. So he got a big opportunity and he took it. He did. So that's why I'm like, I'm kind of stuck between the two of them because
01:05:01
Speaker
Let's see. Alex Newsom went off the board. James O'Connor's off the board. Frank Lamani's off the board. Yeah. I am really excited about this cheap season. Now we're getting into the territory of how much do you know about Super Rugby? We're definitely getting into that territory. Because I already, well, I already, that's the other thing. I already have a Lamalo. Not terrible.
01:05:21
Speaker
No, not terrible at all. But I'm just thinking that if I'm taking a bunch of the Chiefs backs, especially their outside backs, I mean, I don't know between just because I'm thinking about like, you know, I'm always going to play. So that means, you know, if you're looking at that third.
01:05:40
Speaker
You know, because Damien McKenzie is probably going to move back. He's moving back to fullback. Yeah, he's likely moving back, especially when coming in. So that means that it that's, you know, alamalo and, and DMACC are pretty much guaranteed. So now we're looking at splitting duties between. That nice to turn why knew we, you know, which one's going to get the spot duty. How's that going to, how's that
Player Performance Discussion
01:05:58
Speaker
going to work? So I think, yeah. Oh yeah. You're going to be, you're, you're down to guys that are going to spot start and not necessarily unless they turn into absolute worldies. Yeah. They're not going to necessarily do anything crazy. Right.
01:06:11
Speaker
But I mean hell Joaquin took you lay still there. Yeah, and he's the guy who you should be starting every pretty much So that's why I'm like, why is he all the way down there? Yeah, yeah again another guy that might have need some some rest because of reasons x y and z There's a name you before me you are Yeah, it doesn't it's not I'm not gonna lose sleep over it if he gets picked ahead of me
01:06:34
Speaker
Um, Tony Pulu name name down there. Yep. Um, no to be the Lee. Um, no, excuse me. Um, let's really know Henry Spate for the Brumby's. Okay. Now, because he's right. He went across the country. You went across the country to the Reds.
Player Trades and Positions
01:06:50
Speaker
Oh, that was one that I was in my back pocket.
01:06:53
Speaker
Damn it, Mansa Mata Ali played brilliantly in the two games you played, scored buckets of points, was scoring points at a rate of buckets, but got hurt and only played those two games last year. But it also opened the door for, one of your problems just got solved there. What's that? Not nice at all, just got taken. All right. Well, I think I'm actually, I was going to ask you as the Hurricanes, aficionado.
01:07:17
Speaker
Yeah, what do you think of chase tia tia? I love chase. I really did and he came onto the scene In a very big way. Oh, we we got mustard over or no other way around. Looks like looks like bristles over a Bristol. Sorry Yeah, i'm gonna go chase tia tia. Yeah, I love him That rounds out my back my outside backs. I think there you go. Henry perdy gets over
01:07:41
Speaker
All right, there's a name. Yeah, it's a rare start for is a rare start for him, too. Yeah, for him. And then Terry's up. Yeah, I mean, because Geordi is probably going to play fullback and or outside center a lot, maybe a spot start at fly half now and again. And then you're going to have Houston and then you have you have Chase Tia Tia. There's there's another name that's way down that I'm probably going to pick up as one of my last couple picks.
01:08:13
Speaker
Yeah, there's a couple. So it'll be interesting to see who gets that.
01:08:18
Speaker
That wing spot, Vince also is out there, obviously. He's all the way at the bottom of it. He was banged up last year, so that being the main reason.
Billy Proctor's Potential Role
01:08:30
Speaker
Billy Proctor is another name that'll be on Hurricanes fans' thoughts. Obviously, brother Matt's now in Northampton. He potentially could take his spot in the midfield, solving that problem next to who's going to play next to La Mape.
01:08:46
Speaker
Not terrible not a terrible person to play next to Come on Terry get up get on it, man. Let's go Somebody don't have any locks. I think it might be time to uh, yeah, I've gotten that it's late I mean, well, I have there's I have four picks left. So yeah, you have time I have time but And up speaking of insasso
01:09:11
Speaker
gone Peter Maga Jensen's another name that's out there good one that's another one for hurricanes fans there uh... alright so we let's see we got he's there still so I might okay yep I'm doing it guy we talked about already just a just a brief mention Henry Spate yep and then start filling out that front row a little bit
01:09:44
Speaker
Close my
Selecting Front Row Players
01:09:45
Speaker
eyes and do this probably but Yeah, i've done that a couple times here a little squinting I think this will work probably on garth Nathan nathan harris harris from the chiefs as well So I got two chiefs in the front row for me. Oh, that one didn't show up. Oh, gee. Oh, no, see Frd. You gotta hit your tv again. Yeah
01:10:04
Speaker
So who is your second pick? Nathan Harris from the Chiefs hooker. So my front row has been picked. I don't have a second lock, so I'll probably address that. And then I'm just going to kind of close my eyes and throw darts. That's kind of where I am with a lot of this as far as certainly for the locks. Fuck. Yeah, I'm starting. Yeah. I mean, at this point, we're obviously looking for either filling the type five starters or going for
01:10:34
Speaker
Uh backups, duh Medrano is off the board Not bad Garth April why that's not any of I know And I pride myself on knowing next these names. So I am gonna go with James Blackwell Oh, that's a good one. He is in a walking boot fyi, but they think he'll be ready. Yeah, um Like I said, this is throw darts at the wall time Uh
01:11:09
Speaker
Okay, interesting. YoungShark's back, Garth April. Kenplay Fullback, I don't know what he's listed as. Interesting, okay. Wainuiyaf, Bryn Hall, Jock Campbell. I like Jock Campbell. Okay, yeah, Garth April, all right, that'll be a name I keep my eye on. That's interesting.
Sam Lousi's Move to Europe
01:11:30
Speaker
Yeah, no Sam lousy anymore for the Hurricanes. He has since moved on to greener pastures, especially, I mean, it was really unfortunate the way his last season. He didn't even get, he played zero minutes for the Hurricanes last year. Still made the World Cup team rightfully because he's, he's huge. But just, nope, not gonna happen. So he's, yeah, he's since moved on to Europe and playing for Scarlett and Wales. That's the one.
01:12:05
Speaker
Yeah, I'm guessing Joe Simpson hasn't had a huge impact on this game, but it doesn't cost only of nine. So I mean, they've only got three points. It's not. Yeah, not good. No. Yeah, three scores. And I can guarantee you that Joe Simpson didn't have a whole lot to do with anyone just because they're penalties. Tough midfield to get through looks like Marshall still has zero points for me. Tom Marshall.
Understanding Thick Accents
01:12:30
Speaker
Yeah, really deep is he playing do you get dropped? That's not fun. Nope. He's played 49 minutes Wow, he's hopefully some some of the computer adding later on do some points. Yeah, he just hasn't done anything Yeah, let's see. Will Harrison comes off the board Rulof Smith that is definitely a South African you if I ever heard yes, it is Yeah
01:12:55
Speaker
One of those just things did you? Teaching finally comes off the board. Did you see the Gloucester team announcement yesterday? It was your argument doing it. No You know, I think I think he's from James knows a little our buddy James knows a little bit more about Where these types of folks are from but I think he's from one of those regions that speaks a deep heart after cons Yes, and I think so he was definitely like yeah, I was just like oh man
01:13:25
Speaker
I don't know what he's saying sometimes and even even the missus text me. She's like, what the hell's he saying? I'm just like, he's saying the people's name. She's like, really? I'm like, yeah. She's like, what? Where's he from? I'm like South Africa. She's like, oh, that's why I can't understand. I'm like, yeah, it's so it's crazy how like the how thick that accent. Oh, it's wicked. It's really when you're from there. It's thick. Yeah, it's really thick.
01:13:47
Speaker
like Anthony trying to listen to him after he'd been drinking a little bit. Dude, you have to say that again. You're a little drunk and I'm a little drunk and I did. No. Yeah. The ear is not computing what you're saying, buddy. Slow down. Oh, all right. I'm up.
Draft Strategy with Kubele and Woodward
01:14:02
Speaker
I had TJ Fianni and Matthias Moroni come off the board. He came off the board, too. And now he's coming off the board. I need a backup scrum hef, because that's just what you do. I'm going to go with Kubele, because he's there. Decent pick. Yeah, it's still as your backup. Yeah, that's a really good pick. And Terry's up. So I have one more.
01:14:33
Speaker
I have one more starter. I have to get a starting lock. And then I'm kind of off. Boo. It was my fault. It was my full back in TRM balls. He had he had one bloody point. Who's that? Jason Woodward.
01:14:53
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, this is a struggle game for foster. Wow. I should have started Atkinson. I had Atkinson. I have him Marshall. He's on my bench, but Oh, you know where I have him? I have enough RD balls. Okay. Oops.
01:15:12
Speaker
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh
01:15:36
Speaker
I didn't see you got picked at 150. It's not coming up. Uh, I missed it too. So yeah, I'm not, I'm not losing sleep. You have things to do. I'm not losing sleep over it quite yet. Hmm. Just really?
Player Availability Issues
01:15:50
Speaker
Why is he way down there? That sucks. Okay. Whatever. All right. Let's go with, um, nope, actually let's not do that. Wait a minute. Let's not do that quite yet. Um, where is,
01:16:09
Speaker
I like him, but that ain't good. I already have that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm thinking through this. Bear with me. Thinking hurts my head. Um, no, Marvin, no, he is still on the Lions team here, so that must have been alone. I'm just sorting through. Uh... Oh, he's definitely not gonna play that much.
01:16:39
Speaker
All right, fine. 10 seconds left. Yeah. Tell me about it. Well, I mean, a bull's lot can't be terrible. So, especially considering what they've done with Lou Diager and Arius Naaman. Yeah. And I'm not, neither one of them are, aren't there anymore, but still, we still got one more pick to go. I got that. And then, uh, I'm going to go.
01:17:03
Speaker
Yes, he's still there. This is again, throw throw things at the wall and see what happens. JP Peterson. All
JP Peterson's Return
01:17:12
Speaker
right. Sharks move back home after playing many seasons in France, played for the fame too long and has I think he's still got a little bit gas left on the tank. He's getting up there in age. But assuming that he's he does have said gas left, I'm going to look forward to watching him play. I'm.
01:17:39
Speaker
When he ever didn't, that's the lock. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You shouldn't be too bad. I would imagine. I'm just like, yeah, I'm looking at it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm thinking South African locks. Yeah. South African locks seem to have found a way in the world after him. Everybody's 250. So that's what right is throwing me off because I'm like, fuck, that doesn't help. Nope. Not that the one ninety nine is much better than anyone's much better. No. But yeah, at least you know that there's a potential. There's a potential for him to
01:17:54
Speaker
JD Schickling has gone off, and Steven Parafretta is also off.
South African Locks Performance
01:18:05
Speaker
do well. I would assume that that means he's going to play.
01:18:07
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, so he's off. And we have a fellow Fosse. He's off. He's not off the board. We are getting down to that. We're back digging into the barrel here. This is the 21st of 2021 picks for me and Jared coming up. There's plenty. There's plenty to go. Yeah, there's still good names on there. Right. But
01:18:32
Speaker
All right. So, so I have one do nothing pick with. I'm going to see if he's here. Yes. Hopefully he doesn't. I don't think he's going to get taken because nobody's getting what the fuck he is. Who is he? You take, I don't give a fuck. You're here. I'll make him Mr. Erlall for the draft. All right.
01:18:59
Speaker
I was looking at him early. Well, I'm taken. Okay. Well, now he's your mister relevant. Right. Peter Sefty toy. That's not a bad. No, that's not. That's a great last. That's a great last pick. It's a great last pick. He shall be my pick, assuming that ball handling hookers isn't listening in snipes him. Yeah. Yeah.
01:19:23
Speaker
It's funny that I didn't actually fill in the bench spots on that, on that graphic, even though I have. I have, I have fricking. I have two half backs. I have two flat. Yeah. The bench spot could have been filled just FYI. So whoever's
Fantasy League Frustrations
01:19:42
Speaker
writing that algorithm. Try again. It's not really, yeah. Cause I have four and yeah, four and three, four and two. It didn't really fill in the bench. It's all right. At least, but either way, you know, this should be a bench player, right?
01:19:56
Speaker
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo. Simpson. Nice little box kick by Sheedy there. Yeah, I don't know how he ended up staying there. Oop, Ackerman. Ackerman's playing six. Oh yeah, because Morgan's playing eight. I started him. Crap. Which one? FRD, Ben Morgan. Oh. He has seven points for me in TRM. Yeah. That's not a good thing for me. Oh, he's nine now. Sorry. Even still.
01:20:28
Speaker
Uh-huh. Who'd we get? Uh, what do we got here? We got Harry Wilson. Damn it. Oh my goodness. I'm not proud. No, I'm not even gonna, uh, more of the stain comes off the board where Kalantza get another good one that comes off. Time for my time. See how my FRD team is doing. There it is.
01:20:56
Speaker
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. And then, yep, there goes your guy. Butch Renu. And again, since this guy is not gonna be, I'm probably gonna end up dropping him, because he's probably not gonna start, but just make him feel good. Tony Lambour. Our U.S. Eagle. Our resident U.S. Eagle in this competition. Yes, so there's that. So let's have a look-see.
01:21:26
Speaker
Check out our teams. Let's have a look see though. And while I'm doing that, I'm going to check my my other team. Yeah, my my F.R.D. team here. Yuck. I still have. Oh, no. How'd that happen? What'd you do? Oh, come on, man. Fucking F.R.D. What'd they do? I'm totally going to rip them a new one. I definitely benched him. So I had Joseph. I had Joseph since and I switched him out.
01:21:55
Speaker
So what do you mean you bench to I bet I have they they have Lee Hines in the lineup. Oh Yeah, you would have definitely been I'm not that stupid. I was definitely in there tinkering all around. Oh, it doesn't even have okay Well, I can't look at my lineup because oh, it doesn't have it. It's Still loading. Okay. It's still loading. Okay. Come on FRD the slack. Let's go. All right. I'll check my other team See what kind of screw ups happened there
01:22:21
Speaker
Yeah, they must have had some serious server glitches in the last couple days. Yeah, they're still there's always something so like I have like there's a lot of zero points on players who I know are playing and
01:22:31
Speaker
I know they take a little while to add up the calculations, which is fine. I get it. That's going to take you a minute or two to get everything tallied up. But sometimes in mid-game, it'll clear it. Yeah, that's annoying. It's like, whoa, whoa, time out. Get back here. And like this one, it says Callum sheet. He has 4.3 points. He has five. I doubt he has that. Five penalties and a conversion. I definitely doubt he has that. Barely certain he'll have more than that. Yeah. So it's, I mean, it is what it is.
01:23:00
Speaker
It's a slow move. It's a slow moving game. That's not necessarily caught a lot of fire. So it's just how it is. Yeah. Yeah. We gotta, we gotta, we gotta pick it up a little bit here, guys. Just a little bit. Okay. Let's see what I got here. Uh, let's see. Some, oh, my, my opponent is missing a lock and it also says resammit has minus 0.4. That's not good. No, that's not good at all. Oh man. Yeah. This is ugly.
01:23:26
Speaker
So if everything's accurate here, this is pretty hideous. I don't think this is accurate. Okay. Yeah. I bet you their servers are jammed or something. All right. I'm gonna, I'll make sure that that gets switched around. Um,
01:23:40
Speaker
because I definitely saved that and went back, checked, went back, checked, made sure everything looked like that looks right. OK, good. So if hopefully you know people. Yeah, hopefully they can give me a hand here. I would imagine they're not assholes. No, they're pretty good people. Right. As far as I can tell. Exactly. So let's see who's there. Oh, come on. All right. She had no Thacker. That really screwed me. Yeah, I'm glad I didn't say I only had him as vice, but
01:24:05
Speaker
Yeah, I mean if I had him as captain, Reinak would have been my vice captain. So it all worked out anyway. Yeah, it all worked out fine. Yeah. Oh, man.
Exeter vs Sale Game Update
01:24:12
Speaker
Yeah, and Ocker's not going to play. He's not playing right now until he gets until sale get until sale put more.
01:24:19
Speaker
More points up, I imagine, at least. Let's see. Yeah, because he's on the bench, unless that got changed. Yeah. Yep, it did. Fuck. Yep. I don't get points from Hooker this week. Oh, man. Damn. Oh, so you had Aki as your window. Yeah, and either he's... Either I read the lineup wrong or he's... Or he got dropped. Damn. Oh, man. Things that make you go, fuck. Yeah, they do. Kiburigi has minus one. Yikes.
01:24:48
Speaker
Sailor housing Exeter right now. Yeah, I don't understand that. What the hell? I mean, I get they they're missing some some England guys, but shit. Yeah, no, I guess. Yeah, because Webber is starting for. Yeah, I knew that. I'm sorry to get lined into the backup backup balls. Oh, all right. Well, and let's just check and see if it's going a little more time. If not, it's OK. We'll go back to it. We can we can discuss it in another another date.
01:25:16
Speaker
Yeah, it's not still not loading. Oh, Morgan. God, he looks funny without it. I got my lamp. All right. I am going to definitely go looking for my own calculation purposes. Going to look to join another lead that's got front rows here.
01:25:33
Speaker
Just the full full unit. Oh, there we go. Let's see. All right. So my starters are Cora, Betty, Houston and Barrett, ALB and current Johnny in the midfield. Elton Yanci says my 10 shooters listed as my nine, although I could easily switch that around. It doesn't matter. Jake Gordon might be better. I don't know.
01:25:53
Speaker
Pete Samu, Martis Schumann, and Wetu Douglas are my back row. Rada and random bulls lock number one are my locks. Michael Alatoa and Nippo Lalala are my props. And my hooker is Nathan Harris with notable backups.
01:26:15
Speaker
Probably Tamua and Jake Gordon and Henry Spate. But yeah, so wow, we do have a really short bench here. One, two, three, four, ooh, yikes. Yeah, just six. Yeah, so I imagine the locks, props, and hookers are going to be dropped on a weekly basis. Regular basis, yeah. I mean, I'm not, like, if I have to change my prop out, I might keep slipper if I have to, but I mean, if I have to. Yeah, you've got to figure out which one turns into a real asset, which is going to be
01:26:39
Speaker
probably one of each and those positions this season will turn into something worth of note consistently.
01:26:46
Speaker
So you go to my lineup starting from outside back in. I have Dane Hill at Petty. I'm a pimpi. I'm a mallow at the midfield of Rhys Hodge and Rika Ioani. Not terrible. Fly half of Bowdoin Barrett. Halfback Brad Weber. Loose forwards, Bashir, Coatlysee, and Karifi. Locks of Blackwell and Van Heerden. Nice. And again, props Slipper Lomax and my hookers Cody Taylor. That might be one guy that you don't drop.
01:27:16
Speaker
And yeah, on my my bench, I have Tia Tia Marchant, JB Roberts, Mac Mason, Kubele and Peter Steffy toy.
Session Conclusion and Teasers
01:27:23
Speaker
So some names that are going to have trouble. Those are good names. Those are good names. Those are good names. It may end up being trades if I can work that out. That's also a possibility, yes.
01:27:31
Speaker
So yeah, it'll be interesting with the full 15 this year. I think I actually thinking about it. I think that might've been a slip up on my part, but oh well. Guess what? We're riding it because we're pot committed now. Maybe I'll go find another randomly just to join for front rows only. But yeah, so we'll see how that goes. But thanks for coming along, guys. Tune in later on this week. We're going to do Six Nations Preview after we recap the prem very quickly with our good friend James.
01:28:00
Speaker
So thanks a lot for standing us and we'll catch you guys on the flip side next week. Later! Cheers!
