That'll be fun to do.
00:01:17
Jarrod Dyke
That's like a, that's like a rugby festival right there.
00:01:19
Jarrod Dyke
That's what that is.
00:01:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, exactly.
00:01:22
Jarrod Dyke
That's exactly what that is. Oh God. Anyway, I'm shaping sleep premiere ship reminder for division one. Um, very, very wee bit of movement only because Cobas got the yellow hat. He jumped, he made one move and that was going
Division Two Standings Overview
00:01:37
Jarrod Dyke
from fifth to fourth and he jumped Duncan. So.
00:01:40
Jarrod Dyke
Um, not nothing, not nothing too wild and crazy in terms of champion's league division one for prem, uh, Mark, Stu George, Cobus, Duncan, Alex, myself, and Justin pulling up the rear, Justin had the wooden spoon this week. So thank you, Justin, for making me now look like an idiot. Um, at least not to the same degree I thought I was going to. What's happening in division two, sir?
00:02:05
Grumpy Old Prop
What's happening in division two is Barty still in first, ah Aubrey right behind, about 50 points behind, about 26 or so behind her as Paul, who took a huge jump as he had the the yellow cap.
00:02:09
Jarrod Dyke
Mm-hmm.
00:02:14
Jarrod Dyke
Not too bad.
00:02:23
Jarrod Dyke
nice
00:02:23
Grumpy Old Prop
um That knocked both Drew and myself down a peg, four and then then five.
00:02:29
Grumpy Old Prop
ah Franco at six, not far behind us. And then ah Luke um way down there in seventh, about 80 points out of sixth.
00:02:40
Grumpy Old Prop
Once again, if
PDF URL Standings and Banter
00:02:41
Grumpy Old Prop
you've been, so there is room, we have room for one more. um So if you wanted to get in on this, ah you're more than welcome to. There's so no pressure. That's D two.
00:02:50
Grumpy Old Prop
It's a, you know, there's no relegation from D two.
00:02:52
Jarrod Dyke
There's no, we don't have a third division yet.
00:02:53
Grumpy Old Prop
You're allowed to. Right. So, um, you know, no, no consequences.
00:02:54
Jarrod Dyke
And one day we hope to, but we're not there yet.
00:02:57
Grumpy Old Prop
It's all free. It's all fun. Um, and then, Hey, maybe if you, if you do well, you'll, you'll learn a couple, uh, tips and tricks. Um, cause again, there is nowhere to hide even in division two.
00:03:08
Grumpy Old Prop
What's the, uh, what's the top score in division one?
00:03:09
Jarrod Dyke
No. Um, I won't just moved off by accident.
00:03:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Sorry.
00:03:14
Jarrod Dyke
Um, 1838 and a half.
00:03:16
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay, and who's ah so okay ah so let's put it this way.
00:03:18
Jarrod Dyke
That's Mark.
00:03:19
Grumpy Old Prop
The Barty is at 1776. So where would he be?
00:03:24
Jarrod Dyke
Third.
00:03:25
Grumpy Old Prop
And then Aubrey is at 1724.
00:03:28
Jarrod Dyke
Fifth.
00:03:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, so like, and then what who um who's in last there and what do they got?
00:03:34
Jarrod Dyke
That's Justin, he's got 1597.
00:03:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, and and Luke's at 1521. So,
00:03:42
Jarrod Dyke
OK.
00:03:42
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, you know, so even our, like our last places are about, you know, ah not, not our last place is a little bit further than that, but you know, one through six or would still be, uh, you know, not in the bottom.
00:03:48
Jarrod Dyke
Not super dissimilar.
00:03:53
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:03:55
Grumpy Old Prop
There is nowhere to hide on these, but either of these leagues it's, it's tough, but it's also fun.
00:03:57
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, no.
00:03:59
Grumpy Old Prop
You do have to, it challenges you.
00:04:01
Jarrod Dyke
It challenges you. Absolutely, absolutely it does. Okay, um let's go over to our PDF URL standings. We've had those updated.
00:04:11
Jarrod Dyke
Route 11 was tough for some of us, myself included. I got a whole 24, but not as bad as certain people who only had about 16. I was like, okay, I'm not that bad, but yeah, it wasn't good.
00:04:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh, that wasn't me, was it?
00:04:22
Jarrod Dyke
um Duncan had the had the master stroke, he had the top round.
00:04:26
Grumpy Old Prop
Uh, I know.
00:04:27
Jarrod Dyke
No, no, you had one of the better rounds. You and um Joe both had the same exact number because they you actually picked the same player.
00:04:34
Grumpy Old Prop
Cool.
00:04:38
Jarrod Dyke
So yeah, she copied you so you can blame her.
00:04:38
Grumpy Old Prop
ah
00:04:42
Jarrod Dyke
um And then, yeah, and Barty had a good round too that week as well. but The standings do read as such. um Duncan, Joe, myself ah Ben, myself, Tom, Julia, Matt, Rihanna, Oscar.
00:04:56
Jarrod Dyke
Rihanna, you've moved off the bottom two. Good job but for you, girl. Well done, well done. Oscar, and then our good friend George, pulling up the rear.
00:05:04
Grumpy Old Prop
Oh, George,
00:05:06
Jarrod Dyke
he's only I mean, he's only in the last by like two, literally two, but it's there. It's there. it there the Yeah, Duncan's got a pretty, it's an okay gap. it's 38-ish points,
Fantasy Rugby Picks of the Week
00:05:19
Jarrod Dyke
which sounds like a lot, but can be can disappear in two rounds.
00:05:22
Jarrod Dyke
So, yeah, trust me, I've seen it. I was second a week ago, or two weeks ago, and now I'm fourth.
00:05:22
Grumpy Old Prop
right.
00:05:26
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Well, I think, I think that happened to me at like the end of last, I think I was like way out in the front and then. or was that we on for I think I had like a really healthy lead and then just you know, just Yeah who Yeah Very hardly So my forward
00:05:39
Jarrod Dyke
And just whittled away. Yep, that sounds about right. All right, our picks for the week. We have all four matches available this week because we didn't do the, the big game apps last week. Fuck you. TRM still like, fuck you so hard. Totally balling that.
00:06:01
Grumpy Old Prop
um gonna back the girls and gonna go with May Campbell as my forward of the week for the Saracens ladies.
00:06:06
Jarrod Dyke
Nice. Good one. Yeah. Yeah. Who's your back?
00:06:12
Grumpy Old Prop
My back is, um if she starts, it's gonna be Alona Marr. And if she doesn't, it's gonna be Ellie Kildone.
00:06:19
Jarrod Dyke
Okay.
00:06:23
Jarrod Dyke
Good. Also good pick. Also good pick. Yeah. um I don't, I didn't get a chance to use killed on last, last cycle.
00:06:28
Jarrod Dyke
So I'm going to do that. Who are you giving the T two?
00:06:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm, oh.
00:06:31
Grumpy Old Prop
Gotta rectify that, my friend.
00:06:32
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, definitely.
00:06:33
Grumpy Old Prop
And my kicker is going to be laggy to him of, of the coins.
00:06:35
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. We have the same kicker. Um, I'm going to similar. So we're gonna, the back's going to be very different. Um, but I'm going, uh, Gary sent from, from series from my forward.
00:06:46
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
00:06:48
Jarrod Dyke
I'm gonna go make Jones from Tigers for my back and then I go to Emma for for my kicker as well So yeah, make sure you get those picks in
00:06:50
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm.
Team Analyses and Fantasy Advice
00:06:59
Jarrod Dyke
friends and family When first kickoff this week is oh, it's on Saturday.
00:07:03
Jarrod Dyke
It's a 10.
00:07:04
Grumpy Old Prop
No, so you got time.
00:07:05
Jarrod Dyke
So yeah loads of time.
00:07:06
Jarrod Dyke
They'll announce a team on Friday Yeah, everybody get in there Get the fuck in there No, don't don't don't skip out on it either So anyway, and that brings us to
00:07:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Everybody chill the fuck out.
00:07:08
Grumpy Old Prop
You got your time. But don't forget it.
00:07:17
Grumpy Old Prop
Unless you're Duncan, that's fine. You you can forget just. You're good.
00:07:21
Jarrod Dyke
He's been right on top of it every time. Um, not sure that's going to happen. and I believe we are down to start set.
00:07:30
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. Hey, look at that.
00:07:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay.
00:07:32
Grumpy Old Prop
And you lead us off.
00:07:32
Jarrod Dyke
I do. Um, all right. So Newcastle actually still have some guys that are scoring, but it's like hard to predict.
00:07:39
Grumpy Old Prop
yeah
00:07:40
Jarrod Dyke
So that's the problem.
00:07:41
Jarrod Dyke
Um, so right now I'll give you blue Meyer and rads and everybody else. I'm going to just kind of say wait until they like really put four or five games together where they're proving it.
00:07:41
Grumpy Old Prop
that's from
00:07:52
Jarrod Dyke
Um, we've mentioned Gordon before, he might be an option, but I'm not really excited about picking him yet yet. Give it a minute.
00:08:00
Jarrod Dyke
Might be there.
00:08:00
Grumpy Old Prop
I mean, he scares me from that, that challenge cup match I saw where he like should have gotten red, like carded and suspended.
00:08:05
Jarrod Dyke
That's the other thing. He might be a ah a walking red, so be careful.
00:08:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Like, um, yeah, I'm just, I'm still nervous about that because of his physicality. but That's that's it.
00:08:11
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. But he runs balls.
00:08:14
Jarrod Dyke
So there's that, um, on the other side, Quinn. So I'm not interested in any, but anybody right now in the type five from this team.
00:08:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:08:24
Grumpy Old Prop
Nope.
00:08:24
Jarrod Dyke
Um, I'm all about the back row of Dom web and yeah, even, even still like looking at him, even in like where he lands amongst props right now, he's only in the top 10.
00:08:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Well Baxter, Baxter could do okay sometimes, but it's not consistent.
00:08:36
Jarrod Dyke
He's barely in the top 10. Like ah he's 10 or 11 even.
00:08:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:08:39
Jarrod Dyke
Um, so.
00:08:39
Grumpy Old Prop
But isn't he cheap?
00:08:40
Grumpy Old Prop
I thought he was like...
00:08:42
Jarrod Dyke
I have him. I'll say you in a second.
00:08:45
Jarrod Dyke
Doo, doo, doo, doo. He is costing me on a weekly basis, um, two, which Nicki Smith one.
00:08:46
Grumpy Old Prop
I
00:08:50
Grumpy Old Prop
have him too.
00:08:54
Grumpy Old Prop
That's not bad.
00:08:55
Jarrod Dyke
So Reese carries two.
00:08:56
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:08:57
Jarrod Dyke
There's other options at two. That's the only thing.
00:08:59
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, that's fair.
00:09:00
Jarrod Dyke
and So, I mean, I may end up starting a moment if he's the only one, one of the only two that starts and I don't want to, I'm sorry.
00:09:05
Grumpy Old Prop
Right. Anyway, sorry to derail that.
00:09:07
Jarrod Dyke
I'm not going to, I'm just saying not going to bite the bullet for a prop.
00:09:10
Jarrod Dyke
Um, anyway, Dom,
00:09:10
Grumpy Old Prop
Right.
00:09:11
Grumpy Old Prop
Sure.
00:09:12
Jarrod Dyke
Webb and Cunningham are going to be your break forwards.
00:09:16
Grumpy Old Prop
who
00:09:16
Jarrod Dyke
Porter over care, Marcus Northmore and Beards got me convinced.
00:09:18
Grumpy Old Prop
who
00:09:21
Jarrod Dyke
So keep going with that. Marley and Green and even whoever that third member of the back three might be, whether it's East Crow or Nick David or whatever, I would definitely highly consider that as well.
00:09:35
Grumpy Old Prop
So then off to ah King's home for a Gloucester hosting sale.
00:09:43
Jarrod Dyke
Queen's home, well, no, King's home, it's the men, sorry.
00:09:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, from it's the men so.
00:09:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Gloucester again, what Gloucester team is going to show up is weighed healthy. um
00:09:55
Jarrod Dyke
That's a question, actually, you know.
00:09:56
Grumpy Old Prop
That's a question mark that I really need to know because I have. my my lot I. Yeah, I had a fucking week. I started him and a toy and fuck herlon who else was it?
00:10:08
Grumpy Old Prop
um And Tobias Elliott, all three went out early.
00:10:09
Jarrod Dyke
Elliot. Yeah. Ouch. Yeah. That hurts.
00:10:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Fuck me. um Yeah, so.
00:10:15
Jarrod Dyke
That hurts.
00:10:19
Grumpy Old Prop
That said, Um, you know, that, uh, the, the props are hard to predict with, with Gloucester, especially going up against sale. I kind of would leave them alone. Um, hookers kind of too. You're, you're wondering if they might score, but the locks are, are solid plays. Um, any of the speed in the back row could do very well in this match. Um, especially, you know, having the advantage against some of the, the sale players, um, could, could do very well for them.
00:10:50
Grumpy Old Prop
I know the curries are kind of fast on on defense, but, um, I still think they, uh, you know, the, the loose forwards for Gloucester could, could rake a little bit here, depending. Um, and then, uh, the nine and 10 Thomas Williams and and, um, fuck what's his name.
00:11:07
Grumpy Old Prop
I, I lost it. Um, ab I, I, and scum, um, a 10 could, could have days, like, especially if they, you know, the guys like max the well and, uh, pick up the slack.
00:11:09
Jarrod Dyke
which one llewellyn an's come okay
00:11:17
Grumpy Old Prop
So. And Santi Carlos back at 15 could have a day um against this team, but only if they're capable of of playing to their very best um on the sale side. So you're you're you're flipping that coin with any of the Gloucester players. They could go off, but they could also just um sale Bevanrod. Yes.
00:11:40
Grumpy Old Prop
everyone else on that pack I'm still kind of nervous about. And then the backs, I just,
Match Previews: Saracens vs. Bristol
00:11:45
Grumpy Old Prop
the back three are is where you're really focused. Roebuck, Aaron Reed, if he's healthy, hopefully.
00:11:47
Jarrod Dyke
Yep.
00:11:51
Grumpy Old Prop
um Yeah, and Carpenter, like you you you can do well with any of them.
00:11:51
Jarrod Dyke
Hope so.
00:11:57
Grumpy Old Prop
So especially against this Gloucester team, those are the guys I think who I'm looking at to put up some points. But again, with them, it's a you know kind of a coin flip as to which one is really going to rock it. It could be any of those three.
00:12:13
Jarrod Dyke
Yep. No, you're, you're on some of that. All right, um we got Lester and ZD kids. Because you are a D for the Tigers.
00:12:26
Jarrod Dyke
Nicky Smith, I talked about him before, cheap and productive.
00:12:27
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm. Yep.
00:12:29
Jarrod Dyke
So yes, Hayes is probably worth a go on this match because we've talked about what happens with Exeter before.
00:12:35
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:12:36
Jarrod Dyke
The forwards tend to be the ones that score are against them. Well, they're lasting points against and the places that they're lasting points against in terms of position are all the forward spots.
00:12:46
Jarrod Dyke
oh
00:12:46
Grumpy Old Prop
because they, they, they give up.
00:12:48
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, what was it? They're just make easy tackles.
00:12:50
Jarrod Dyke
though, easy set those easy tackles.
00:12:52
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:12:52
Grumpy Old Prop
So easy to, you're not going to miss those tackles.
00:12:53
Grumpy Old Prop
So you're not, you're not risking ah a missed tackle loss of a point or something like that. It's just, and you're going to put it for attack for every five tackles.
00:12:58
Jarrod Dyke
And you're getting the point for the tackle. So yeah.
00:13:01
Grumpy Old Prop
It's you're going to make a bunch. It's going to suck, but it's very easy for points.
00:13:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah. So yeah. Hayes is viable this week as well. Um, Montoja. Yes. Um, George Martin. Yes. Leibenberg. Yeah. Bruffle yet. Uh, yes.
00:13:14
Jarrod Dyke
Um, I'll say yes to vanport fleet for this week. I'm not,
00:13:19
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:13:19
Jarrod Dyke
overly convinced of that, but he did show that he's able to get, get loose.
00:13:23
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:13:23
Jarrod Dyke
So there's that. And I don't trust the Exeter nine's to defend him.
00:13:26
Grumpy Old Prop
No.
00:13:27
Jarrod Dyke
Um, Pollard. Yes.
00:13:29
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:13:30
Jarrod Dyke
Please. He's not hit that 5% threshold, but if he's healthy, I would play him.
00:13:34
Grumpy Old Prop
Yep.
00:13:34
Jarrod Dyke
Um, Hassell Collins, Freddie, and then everyone else is still like possible because again, we talked about, as I just mentioned, this is the biggest, uh, points against in terms of one to one to 10, they're 10.
00:13:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Mm hmm.
00:13:48
Jarrod Dyke
Um, So plenty of points to be given around for, for them, for the idiots from Devin, I'm looking at like back three ish area.
00:13:50
Grumpy Old Prop
Wow.
00:13:57
Jarrod Dyke
And that's about it. Like favorable. So Wyatt, Hodge, and maybe Woodburn and all else pie them.
00:14:02
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Nope.
00:14:03
Jarrod Dyke
Not worth a goddamn.
00:14:09
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. Saracen's hosting Bristol. Um,
00:14:11
Jarrod Dyke
This should be fun.
00:14:14
Grumpy Old Prop
Uh, this is either going to be fun or incredibly hard to watch. There's not going to be, there's no in-between for these two teams.
00:14:18
Jarrod Dyke
True.
00:14:20
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, for Saracens, um, hopefully they get some guys healthy again. Um, obviously for Bristol, same. That's, you know, this is a.
00:14:33
Grumpy Old Prop
These are two really banged up teams, especially after last week where both teams picked up more injuries. So it's going to be hard to, but yeah at the same time, now you know who's going to be playing. Um, makes it a little bit easier at least. So, you know, you still have, um, jinx at hook, um,
00:14:55
Grumpy Old Prop
He's still got a Tojay at lock. I don't know that I'd go with anybody any of the other locks, especially with Theo Hart, who knows if he's, if he's going to be back for this one.
00:15:03
Jarrod Dyke
Uh-huh.
00:15:05
Grumpy Old Prop
um But then that the back row, obviously Toby's not going to be playing. So it's going to be kind of a coin flip as to who's going to be at the other um back row positions, but Ben are also going to rake the points from that.
00:15:21
Grumpy Old Prop
Ben Earl versus Matza is going to be a hell of a matchup.
00:15:26
Grumpy Old Prop
And then, yeah, 910. And then outside, this is just, I don't know that I, you know, I think Sarah's gonna win, but I don't think I would want to risk it, especially like with the way that their backs tend to score, maybe, um you know, Shagan, if he's, if he's, is he healthy or is he out for a while still?
00:15:46
Jarrod Dyke
Thank you. Well, he was the, he was definitely their best back the other day.
00:15:49
Grumpy Old Prop
Okay. All right.
00:15:50
Jarrod Dyke
So yeah, I know they were, it was a, it was a bit of a ah yard sale.
00:15:51
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, I'm just like kind of listening to through guys who went that I can't remember even which ones are hurt, which ones are healthy because there's so many who are hurt. Okay. Oh, that's right. Shaken was like, the yeah, she his he was their best player, but his Jersey was still somehow clean.
00:16:04
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:16:04
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, ridiculous.
00:16:06
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, just cause they hadn't used him nearly enough.
00:16:09
Jarrod Dyke
Mm hmm.
00:16:10
Grumpy Old Prop
But yeah, go with him, because I think they might learn to lean on him, especially in this match. Then on the Bristol side, whoever's at hook should have a pretty damn good day. You kind of lean away from the props, just because Sarri's, I think, will have the upper hand in the um and the set piece, um especially without Batley around.
00:16:31
Grumpy Old Prop
That makes it pretty rough for Bristol.
00:16:31
Jarrod Dyke
a
00:16:34
Grumpy Old Prop
As I said, Mata is going to be a hell of a player in this one. Harry Randall. Expect less points than you normally would cause, um, saris are pretty good.
00:16:43
Jarrod Dyke
We got car last game so gave me a lot worse
00:16:45
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, that's true. That's also true. Um, and then really Revovo is the only back at this point. Um, and I think we were saying earlier in the other pod that he's probably going to move out to 14. Um, if it was toys is hurt.
00:17:00
Grumpy Old Prop
makes him a little bit more valuable there. But at the same time, um who's getting him that ball? Because Bristol, even with Burnin, if he's coming right into the team, it's going to take him a little bit to learn. And and I'm not sure he's, I don't even know that he's the distributor that that AJ is. So um it's going to take a little bit for him to get into this team, I think.
00:17:19

so
Game Analysis: Northampton vs. Bath
00:17:20
Jarrod Dyke
can duplicate those double pumps.
00:17:22
Grumpy Old Prop
And Bristol do have that, they still have that, I'm sorry, Sari still have that Wolfpack defense. so No matter what, they yeah, we obviously we didn't see it this past weekend.
00:17:28
Jarrod Dyke
Most days.
00:17:32
Grumpy Old Prop
um I'm assuming we're gonna see it this weekend though.
00:17:34
Jarrod Dyke
I'm sure rockets were fired, so expect better.
00:17:37
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:17:40
Jarrod Dyke
All right, on to, I hope this is the free, like I said before, I hope this is the free match on TRN. You know what it was last week?
00:17:51
Grumpy Old Prop
What?
00:17:52
Jarrod Dyke
Northampton versus Newcastle.
00:17:53
Grumpy Old Prop
Ew.
00:17:54
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah.
00:17:55
Jarrod Dyke
The guys can, I mean, I wish they had made it but like Quinn's Lester though. been And I've been telling all my kids go watch this match now.
00:17:56
Grumpy Old Prop
That kinda sucks.
00:18:01
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah.
00:18:06
Jarrod Dyke
Anywho, Northampton bath for those. Um, so we're going to go with, uh, starting Davison Langdon. Yes. Uh, maybe manga he's cheap.
00:18:17
Jarrod Dyke
So that might be the turn on there. Uh, Pearson and Pollock. Yes. They've been dynamite. Um, You're going to start Mitchell, Finn, um, and then the back three, uh, the next ones I'm interested in handy Freeman slates in that order. I would start all of them though. That's fine. Um, sits, um, guys that are highly young that are not really interested in this week, a Yogan Cole's, uh, hot chin dings. Midfield is a bit of a struggle for their North Hampton these days, um, for the bathroom due to what we talked about with him already. Um,
00:18:48
Jarrod Dyke
Hail Pepper Barbary is probably the my favorite and of order of those that I would play. Barbary is still kind of a question-ish mark because he has his good days, he has his bad. Finn, Lawrence, Koka, and De Glanville. De g Glanville is actually my favorite of those two, although really you should be playing mirror, but I know he's expensive, so I get it. And then on the sit side, not that interested in a bottle of late.
00:19:15
Jarrod Dyke
Both locks are highly owned, Jules and Rue, still have no interest in them.
00:19:18
Grumpy Old Prop
No. no
00:19:19
Jarrod Dyke
Under hell, we talked about he's kind of one trick pony sometimes, so no. And Spencer hasn't scored well apart from like one game, so you're gonna sit him as well.
00:19:28
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, his points per game look pretty good, but it's skewed.
00:19:31
Jarrod Dyke
You say you go have a look at at it, it's from one freaking game, I'm pretty sure, maybe two.
00:19:36
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. Right. I think it's two.
00:19:37
Jarrod Dyke
But he's played almost every game since one. Yeah, his best game was week one.
00:19:44
Grumpy Old Prop
Wow. Yeah.
00:19:45
Jarrod Dyke
18 he's not had anything above nine since then in latin 8
00:19:50
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. So.
Start and Sit of the Week
00:19:52
Jarrod Dyke
.5 was last week so yeah not really count on that one inside channel
00:19:53
Grumpy Old Prop
but
00:19:58
Grumpy Old Prop
No, because they like they're getting so many um tries out wide that like they haven't even needed him to use the ah the Nine line that he's so good at like he's just kind of pass it and let everybody else do does the work So kind of sucks.
00:20:12
Grumpy Old Prop
It takes away what what used to be a strength of his yeah good for the team.
00:20:12
Jarrod Dyke
Yeah, good and bad.
00:20:15
Grumpy Old Prop
Not great for him We are on ochi dubs
00:20:16
Jarrod Dyke
No, ah we don't know what he does here. who
00:20:22
Grumpy Old Prop
Um, my start of the week, uh, based on, you know, how this guy normally plays and and his, uh, opposition this week. Um, yeah. Give me Marcus Smith.
00:20:34
Jarrod Dyke
Nice. Good pick. Good pick. ah So I'm gonna go with we talked about easy points are right in front of you and it's a guy that does a lot of things Good good doesn't do them amazingly, but doesn't good and that'll come out in this game.
00:20:49
Jarrod Dyke
I think Especially at home March the other weeks gonna be hundred leaving break from Lester Yeah,
00:20:54
Grumpy Old Prop
o I should have a ah good score this week. Again with those tackles.
00:20:59
Jarrod Dyke
but whether he's playing six or eight it doesn't matter honestly Mmm
00:21:01
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah, it doesn't. um My City of the Week is also from that match. Um, it's not from the Leicester side, obviously, um, from the Exeter side. And it's, yeah.
00:21:10
Jarrod Dyke
Can't imagine why Yeah, like I heard him a little while ago, unfortunately, um I Like him but yeah, just both This team's not helping him
00:21:12
Grumpy Old Prop
And it's going to be, uh, someone who maybe you've had on your team. Um, ever he's had the boot every so often, um, obviously won't for this match. And that kind of takes away a lot of his scoring power as does his opposition.
00:21:23
Grumpy Old Prop
So Josh Hodge, I would, um, give him the old Sitteroo.
00:21:30
Grumpy Old Prop
Yeah. It's more smart. I like him too, but not going to score many points.
00:21:40
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, so my set highly owned, uh, really crappy opposition and also, um, just not doing the job this year. Um, tough position to score from, but this is
Conclusion and Patreon Reminder
00:21:52
Jarrod Dyke
not the guy you want in your team. This but particularly this week. Uh, my syllabus is going to be Frazier doing all from the saints.
00:21:58
Grumpy Old Prop
Hmm. Yeah.
00:22:00
Jarrod Dyke
well Watch that come back and bite me in the ass, but you know, to,
00:22:04
Grumpy Old Prop

00:22:07
Jarrod Dyke
it's a boom It'll be a boomerang. You watch. Don't you worry. Don't you worry.
00:22:11
Grumpy Old Prop

00:22:11
Jarrod Dyke

Jarrod Dyke
