jarrod_dyke: Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm Ben Glauser.
jarrod_dyke: We are into the fancy corner for the second week in a row. It's time it's a little bit of fun time. We're going to do a Wii segment. First of all, we're gonna do a Champions League recap.
jarrod_dyke: We'll start with division one. to did Do, do, do.
Grumpy Old Prop: Why aren't we starting with division two? We usually started with whatever division I was in, and now we're changing that up. This is crap.
jarrod_dyke: I have so many things that I can say, all of them end up leading to Division 2 being first, so I'm not going to say any of them.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
Grumpy Old Prop: and Anyway, yeah, no, no, no, I'm just fucking with you start you start division one Anyway,
jarrod_dyke: I was going to say age before beauty. Nope, that ain't going to work.
jarrod_dyke: I think it was going to be ladies first, but that could be either of us.
jarrod_dyke: Just saying. Anyway.
Grumpy Old Prop: anyway go ahead you think
jarrod_dyke: um Division one. Duncan is the leader in the week. He had like, he had the most tries in his team. So that makes sense. Great. He's only up by two and a half on Justin, but um it is Duncan, Justin, Mark, Cobus, George, Stu, myself and the newcomer, Alex, Alex, you are not doing yourself justice, my friend.
jarrod_dyke: What happened? What happened? Let's see.
Grumpy Old Prop: I did better.
jarrod_dyke: Um, you probably did.
Grumpy Old Prop: I did fine. Maybe you should just maybe you should just put me back in D1. I'm just saying.
jarrod_dyke: Well, he, he listened to you and captain Willis. So there was his first.
Grumpy Old Prop: I mean, that's not a bad call.
jarrod_dyke: Oh, he had a little, uh, we had a lot of saints that didn't do well.
Grumpy Old Prop: ah
jarrod_dyke: That hurts Ram slate home. Tom James.
Grumpy Old Prop: So what what did he end up scoring for the week?
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. Ouch. 1 59.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hey, I mean, look, he'd be in fourth place in D2.
jarrod_dyke: Okay. Well, I suppose that's the difference.
Grumpy Old Prop: So.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: um Anyway, yeah, so what's D2 look like there chief?
Grumpy Old Prop: D2, Barty, up in one because of ah some butt fuckery, by the way, I'll have you know.
jarrod_dyke: ah
Grumpy Old Prop: No, he captained Thacker and um vice captain to mainland.
jarrod_dyke: ah so
Grumpy Old Prop: So there you go.
jarrod_dyke: Made the right move.
Grumpy Old Prop: That's why the numbers changed all of a sudden. I was much higher up in the the rankings last I had checked. um
jarrod_dyke: Mm hmm.
Grumpy Old Prop: And then Paul in two, who's ah four points behind him. um Slightly behind that, I'm at 180, so I'm i'm about 19 points behind Paul. So, um yeah, we're all like, you know, that's pretty tight.
Grumpy Old Prop: Then after that, Swaghetti, fuck, Franco, um is 146, so there's a little bit of a gap there.
jarrod_dyke: Breakup.
Grumpy Old Prop: um And Aubrey at 140, and then I'm not sure who Rebel Scrum is.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, geez.
jarrod_dyke: Luke.
Grumpy Old Prop: Luke, thank you. I would need to get the names. Luke, I got the spoon at 137.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
jarrod_dyke: My spoon is too big.
jarrod_dyke: All right. Um, cool. So there, those of you that are in. Prem super brew. If you would like to up the air and he just a wee bits, we do have two spots available in division two.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep.
jarrod_dyke: So should that happen, either reach out to Ben or myself specifically Ben, cause he's going to have the, he's going to be controlling that Lee for the season.
Grumpy Old Prop: yep
Grumpy Old Prop: Actually, he still has you as captain, so we'll have to sort that out.
jarrod_dyke: Oh, that's terrible. Well, that all that'll, that'll undo with time. I have a feeling cause I don't even, it doesn't even show up for me.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay. Gotcha.
jarrod_dyke: Um, and if not, then we can figure it out in any case.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yup.
jarrod_dyke: Um, okay. So there's that, um, some right.
Grumpy Old Prop: But i oh, I can invite players, so I can and do have that that ability.
jarrod_dyke: Okay. Oh, there you go. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Okay. So some risers and fallers in the, uh, in the league, um, I would say.
jarrod_dyke: a guy that I don't think is super highly owned. I'm just going to double check if I'm right or wrong on this one. Um, he's in the locking department.
jarrod_dyke: He's not, he's 4 % known here in Andrews from sale.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, you had him, right?
jarrod_dyke: I did.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. Lots of range on that big fella. I think, I think that's going to be only good things. I think of him as a, as a, you know, uh, uh, a beta tomorrow.
Grumpy Old Prop: That's fair.
jarrod_dyke: Hopefully, less penalties.
Grumpy Old Prop: How, how'd he do? How do you do for you?
jarrod_dyke: Hopefully, less penalties.
Grumpy Old Prop: Well, where is he?
jarrod_dyke: He is.
Grumpy Old Prop: He had, oh, he had 11. Not that high and as, as a 2 million or two unit.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, you know, 11 as a lock. That's solid.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: However you want to call it. And for sale, because you're not going to have many sale players. So. um Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Right, that was kind of my thought. I was like, I'm not going to pick too many. I mean, it helps. I mean, he got two points for the team winning, which was annoying, but um I think there's still good things going on with it.
jarrod_dyke: Um, I miss two tackles, so that helps.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: And he's going to steal some light out ball. So that's kind of the thing, you know, I think the floor on him is going to be seven probably.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: So, and just, you know, pick your favorite lock.
Grumpy Old Prop: So I still had Batley.
jarrod_dyke: Otherwise I had badly as well.
Grumpy Old Prop: I had Batley and Chasm, so I had two of the top four. I'm pretty happy about that. Yeah. Although I got to say Harry Wells, nice to see you, sir.
jarrod_dyke: And then where's that Ben?
Grumpy Old Prop: It's been a while. That's if we're talking about risers, like, like, yeah, he was the top scoring lock.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: And honestly, I was torn between him and Chasm.
jarrod_dyke: yep
Grumpy Old Prop: And the only reason I went with Chasm was because he's been doing it. better more recently. um But Wells, if he balls out, he could be right up there, too.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: So.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, agreed. And then risers as well. One more for for me is Llewellyn from lost. her If he does that on a regular basis, see look he looked like he was in just an absolute nuisance in space out there. So should he do that on a regular basis and against you know some lesser defenses,
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, two missed tackles and a handling error. That's actually what detracted from him. Other than that, like, yeah, Tri -Assist, you know, he was, had some good carry meters.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, he had some, did okay. One, he had three clean, three clean breaks. So, things like that. Things like clean breaks and meters.
jarrod_dyke: Don't go into slumps. Don't worry about, like, tries and Tri -Assist. Granted, you should also have those, but, like,
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: You also need guys that are going to do the other things when the tries don't come because they aren't always going to.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Like, again, we go back to the sale of nice lady who had four points.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, no good.
Grumpy Old Prop: Because he didn't I don't think he probably didn't didn't have a defender beaten and they won. That's. Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. So we had, you had two points for the win.
Grumpy Old Prop: For a win. So um the problem, yeah, you don't you want guys who are going to.
jarrod_dyke: Yeesh.
Grumpy Old Prop: And where is he? How how expensive is he? He's five million. He's one of the top. Like you could have you could have had a will but for three million.
jarrod_dyke: Right. Um, follower, unfortunately, I don't know what the news is on, on Dom Brant, but Dom Brant did not have a good week.
Grumpy Old Prop: No, I I think he's I think he's had his hand wrapped.
jarrod_dyke: Um, and if he's, if he's heard, forget it.
Grumpy Old Prop: He wasn't wasn't happy Yeah
jarrod_dyke: ah No, he looked very unhappy. Um, let's see who else really from that game necessarily. I mean, I told you not to start daily.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, wasn't a fan of that. So you're welcome. um Anyway, it didn't listen. Showed you.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah
jarrod_dyke: um ah Like ah most of the Saints backline, really. Just rough looking numbers.
Grumpy Old Prop: Not good Right, yep I'm
jarrod_dyke: Sands, you know, Finn Smith, who had the tee, and Furbank, who had the break who had the breakke that led to the try. Like really, that's it.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm shocked though because I i got lucky. I I don't have a single scenes Backline player, but that's again. That was some of that was because of of ah um Matchups like yeah, I'm taking it between if I'm for my high high value guy and I'm thinking of a toy right now, or for overslight home, just just based on the match -ups.
jarrod_dyke: I had...
jarrod_dyke: other match -ups. Yeah. Other match -ups.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: I can always swap them out later.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: But yeah, they i' I kind of was thinking that that might happen.
jarrod_dyke: yeah Um, another one to just check out there that could be a dark horse.
Grumpy Old Prop: Munga surprised me with seven and a half, Munga surprised me with seven and a half points, top 15 or so lock, not bad.
jarrod_dyke: Who's that?
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. Yep. Not bad.
Grumpy Old Prop: um
jarrod_dyke: Uh, and I don't want to check out there for back row, Thomas, Tom Gordon from Newcastle got 10 and a half last week was there, was their leading score, unfortunately in fantasy, but turnovers clean breaks and tackles with a couple of carry points in there too.
jarrod_dyke: So could be good. He, I mean, he's going to need help. So that's not something I'm going to go jump on right now, but just keep that in their peripherals as it were.
jarrod_dyke: I would say. All right. Uh, I think that, I think that'll cover it for now. Pardon me. Um, let's go start set. Do, do, do, do. And I believe I leave us off. Yes, I do. We got the bristle and the glowster. All right. So for Bristol, um, starts Gens Thacker Batley, Lua Tua, Randall, A .J. Benard, Mayunzibetoye, Sitz, um,
jarrod_dyke: I love him as a person, but Laheef, no.
Grumpy Old Prop: No.
jarrod_dyke: um and No Lago.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm.
jarrod_dyke: This will not be Newcastle, guys. like the The points are going to dry up somewhere. I think No Lago is the one that misses out, personally, because it's you, because Ibatoi, I was too.
Grumpy Old Prop: I think so, too. I was kind of surprised he scored to be blunt. Like, Oh, hey, there you go.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's Newcastle.
jarrod_dyke: It's Newcastle. Yeah. So I think Melons and Ibatoi eat most of it.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: So just ah keep that in mind. Maybe they maybe they run riot in which case everyone everyone you get a point and you get a point and I'm not banking on that though. You can't bank on that um For the visitors Gloucester um And this is all for me, this is all based on percentage right now I'll well i'll start picking guys out based on scores well soon, but only week one.
jarrod_dyke: So not doing that yet um ah For Sogbon the tight head look good
Grumpy Old Prop: Yep, not bad lost a couple scrum penalties I thought but my thinking the right match um Yeah Yes, he will especially once he learns to hold his own in the scrum
jarrod_dyke: Um, loving that, loving that, uh, but yeah, the fricking enormous tight head against Harrison's. Yeah. I mean, yes, I think he did, but still like look good. And I think he's going to be bad news for a lot of teams. So go. Yep. Um, start single, singleton, glad to see him back in the prem. Uh, Mercer Ackerman.
jarrod_dyke: Thomas Williams, but kind of close one eye when you do it.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm
jarrod_dyke: Barton, especially if he's at full back with the tee. Yep. Give that a go. And then Wade. Yes. Sit. Val. I need Val on the field before I started even thinking about putting him on my team.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, yep Well,
jarrod_dyke: Like Jesus, dude. um Losing faith in that guy, unfortunately, as much as I like him. ah Love, love, and it's gonna both consist as well.
Grumpy Old Prop: cuz you can't be the if you know most important a abilityil ability is availability and Like he's got to get on the field
jarrod_dyke: This availability. Yep. For real. For real.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, so then off to um the shtup for Quinn's hosting Newcastle.
jarrod_dyke: Nobody stopped.
Grumpy Old Prop: So I would, you know, obviously we're going to wait and see on Dom Brant. Um, if he plays, I expect, you know, it's Newcastle at home versus sale on the road. I think this is kind of a get where he needs to get right game.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: So if he plays, yeah. Um, I'm not, well, Evans is a good, is a good chat. He had himself ah a pretty good, good match. I don't know how he scored exactly.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, but he'll have plenty more opportunities, um, in, in this coming game.
jarrod_dyke: Not super duper well, but No joke.
Grumpy Old Prop: So I don't see him. Wow.
jarrod_dyke: No joke.
Grumpy Old Prop: um Anywho, yeah, he only had six and a half. Not great, but he'll have a lot more opportunities this game.
jarrod_dyke: No question.
Grumpy Old Prop: Kenny him, I thought, looked kind of back to form a little bit too. So I'm not sure what he costs, but if he's if he's a point saver or a cost saver, maybe consider it because I think that that back row that we saw is is their back row this year, I would hope.
jarrod_dyke: Three.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: um
jarrod_dyke: With cutting themselves getting mixed in there too.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, um the apparently philadelphia born will porter. Hell. Yeah um explains a lot Anywho,
jarrod_dyke: US, where the fuck were you on that?
Grumpy Old Prop: if he's starting over care doesn't matter, you know one of them it should be fine I know I think care is a little bit more expensive um if I have that right ah Marcus Yeah, go for it
jarrod_dyke: I believe so as well. Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: um And then this both centers, right.
jarrod_dyke: I mean, you spent the 10 million on them. You're fucking playing them.
Grumpy Old Prop: Exactly. Oh yeah. And, but if you have your, like of the, um, those $10 million or 10 million unit, whatever, um, options this week, he might be the best.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: I think if we can go with one of them, like he's, he's got the best matchup.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, I'm going to say yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: So at home, we get his Newcastle.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. Um, if you can spend that much money on a fly half.
Grumpy Old Prop: do it with, with, uh, Marcus this week. Um, and then, uh, any of the the rest of the back, like, except, um, if green is playing abs, absolutely.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: If half penny is playing, don't just don't touch, but the wings should, but why would you give him the tee over, over Marcus Smith?
jarrod_dyke: Don't, yeah and yeah, unless you're willing to give him the tea, in which case you have the same problem as we talked about with like, what's his butt, Slade?
Grumpy Old Prop: Like that would be silly.
jarrod_dyke: You you wouldn't.
Grumpy Old Prop: wouldn't so that's the point like i honestly think i honestly think that might be the reason that they did that because they play they started um what evans i think that like i i don't get it i think but they were gonna say okay if we're gonna play evans we're gonna play it's almost like um was it tim wakefield has had his own catcher um yeah it's it's like that it's like okay yeah
jarrod_dyke: I'd like to think Billy Miller is not that stupid.
jarrod_dyke: Evans, Evans has a decent boot too, it's too bad.
jarrod_dyke: Doug Mirabelli.
jarrod_dyke: ah he That dude made a career out of being Tim Wakefield's catcher. Terrible hitter, terrible like fielder otherwise, but like nobody could handle that damn knuckleball.
Grumpy Old Prop: but could catch us the knuckleball.
Grumpy Old Prop: So it it's like that with Jared Evans.
jarrod_dyke: Sad he's gone. So sad he's gone.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yo, yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Anyway, uh, Saracen's in sale.
Grumpy Old Prop: I made myself sad. Fuck.
jarrod_dyke: Oh, sad.
Grumpy Old Prop: On Newcastle, yeah, don't bother.
jarrod_dyke: Sad bed.
Grumpy Old Prop: What the fuck?
jarrod_dyke: Don't bother with that. Don't touch until someone really puts their hand up.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Um, bench players only just to fill out your roster. Should you need me?
Grumpy Old Prop: And with that, sorry.
jarrod_dyke: Uh, yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: So, oh no, I do have Brett Cannon. I should, that fine. He's actually a pretty good second 10.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Second 10. Should things go sideways?
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: And he's cheap.
jarrod_dyke: Uh, sherry sale.
Grumpy Old Prop: He's the appropriately cost of this year.
jarrod_dyke: this year. Yeah. We talked about that the other week, uh, for the Saracens, Theo Danner jinx. Doesn't matter. You're playing them.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm -hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Um, Mario. Yes. Uh, Theo. Should he come back from Simone doing ready to roll? Yes. Um, ah AOC, otherwise known as Andy Christie.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. Good AOC.
jarrod_dyke: um Yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: so
jarrod_dyke: ah Willis Earl. Yep. Ben sale. Yep. Uh, yep. I'm going to give Berkeley nod. I'm going to give a little Sosky the nod this week as well. And if Tobias Eliot's back on the wing, him as well.
jarrod_dyke: ah This week I'm going to say sit, tes sit, sit, sit, seek away because the likelihood is one of those two is playing the second banana to one of the other guys. So that I'm not really excited about. But Toby Knight this week didn't pass on that as well.
jarrod_dyke: I know he's highly owned only because of his price, not because you anybody's going to play him, but still.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: um Tompkins, no. And Daly, no. I think the middle of the field is going to be pretty tough to find room for. I think Loz will be able to because he's a strong motherfucker, but that's it.
jarrod_dyke: Um, for the sharks, um, either of the props that are highly owned right now, uh, Rod or a Poco 4 jar. Um, LCD has a way of being a thorn in the Saracen side.
jarrod_dyke: Doesn't matter where he's playing. So yes. John Luke, if you've picked, if you've picked him, you're playing him. So that's all that is.
Grumpy Old Prop: Why have you picked him?
jarrod_dyke: I don't know, but they're he's highly picked. If you've picked him, you're playing him. Um, he's too expensive to leave him on the bench.
Grumpy Old Prop: But why did you pick him? yeah
jarrod_dyke: yeah I don't have that answer. Corky if he's healthy, Ford, because clearly he loves his boot again. Robuck of flarity, yes. Sits neither of the curry. Nope. This curry tastes like poo. ah War or nai klebu. I need to see it from nai klebu. He was a ghost last week.
Grumpy Old Prop: And again, now he's going to get Yeah It's
jarrod_dyke: and And he's going against the Lozowski who's not going to be funded. He was always good to a good guy to be playing against when you are in a slump or not No No,
Grumpy Old Prop: one of that like yeah last week wasn't his week this week's not looking like his week either like it's not No All right, then um Saints hosting Exeter
jarrod_dyke: well contained by Northmore Mm
Grumpy Old Prop: um
jarrod_dyke: -hmm
Grumpy Old Prop: Exeter do you still do a pretty good job of giving points up to pack players? I mean you look at um all through every position and there is a um ah Lester player every every forward position the prop there ah four and five Hookers a little further down.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: They're like seven and eight That each of them in the list of how many points they've scored um Harry Wells is number one ah as a lock
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Chasm number two, number four, I'm sorry, just two points away. Um, then back row Leibenberg and Raphael make up three and five. Um, Hatherill's looks like it's in the top 12 or so.
jarrod_dyke: Right.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, Hatherill is in the top 12 of forwards. So, um, this team will give up points to forward. So for the saints that looking at, um, Langdon is always as good option.
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, the the second rows like manga actually scored pretty well last week. I, you know, and he's cheap. So he's my like backup. And I think that might work well for me for the, for the long haul.
jarrod_dyke: right
Grumpy Old Prop: Um, I liked that back, that back row that they started. So have that, um, like a Tom Pearson this week should have plenty of opportunity for, for poaching and, um,
Grumpy Old Prop: playing in space, backspace of a beat bait, pick up some missed tackles.
jarrod_dyke: ye
Grumpy Old Prop: So like slide home might have to have trouble because yeah he's he's got his hands full out there with Feigy Woboso.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, there's going to be some, some dudes that can move out there.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right. And it's just, you're going to, you're going to get a missed tackle that you just can't afford and and they're probably not going to run as much. So look, look for the, the forwards for the Saints this week more than the backs.
jarrod_dyke: Right. Right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Uh, for Exeter, um, Baxter wasn't a total hump with his forward pack, but I still, I don't know that they're going to be able to take advantage of, um, the defense, the, the gaps that were exposed last week because it's not the, um, the dancers who score well or, or, or, um, showed up well against the saints. It's the power guys. Like we'll mirror fucking. Horsed somebody early. Like.
Grumpy Old Prop: That's what he does.
jarrod_dyke: Set the tone, yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: He's going to get a broken tackle here or there, but like the dancers not, not going to do well. Like De Glanville didn't have his best week because he's not that power kind of guy.
jarrod_dyke: No, he'll get better.
Grumpy Old Prop: So the, then exit or throw the dancers at you. So did he?
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, Glendale had 15 on the on the weekend Not so bad. Yeah That's about it. You found some gaps. I think it was mostly it might have been from receiving those those long kicks as well ah to your point about the Tigers, I think
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: So all eight of the starters had nine plus, only two, actually only two of them had nine on the nose.
Grumpy Old Prop: Wow.
jarrod_dyke: And then they had two guys on the bench that scored nine and a half or up, the backup hooker, Tybale Thomas, and then Rafal. So yeah, to your point, there's there's points to be had in that in that pack.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. And it's the guys that you probably weren't going to bank on that didn't score well anyway. like I wasn't maybe, you know, Parisi and Kata, I'm not sure are your best options or, you know, or Kelly was on the, was Kelly on the bench?
jarrod_dyke: Claire.
Grumpy Old Prop: Because Kelly had to come in, I think, um for Parisi.
jarrod_dyke: He was on the bench.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah, because I think Parisi got banged up a little bit, or I think of someone else.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, he did.
Grumpy Old Prop: um So yeah, like, but even set even even with that, not good there. And you were you you shouldn't have taken a ah chance on them anyway, because there's other guys who are cheaper.
jarrod_dyke: No, probably not.
Grumpy Old Prop: um And Shillcock scored well, yeah.
jarrod_dyke: Nope.
Grumpy Old Prop: Two, four, six, seven, yep.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. Well, yeah you didn't have any kicking opportunities clearly, but that's all right.
Grumpy Old Prop: Now, and but, and then Volavola's like two underneath him, so. They're sandwiching Brett Cannon, so.
jarrod_dyke: Yep.
jarrod_dyke: her I don't know if Brett kind of appreciates that and anyway. Um, speaking of lesser Tigers and bath, um, for the Tigers, uh, Nikki Smith, their new prop. I think I will pick him over.
jarrod_dyke: either of the are the other ones, maybe not overhaze, but he's he's got a better price tag.
Grumpy Old Prop: does I Would do that except I'm maxed out on Lester players I
jarrod_dyke: So I'll go with it. um So there you go. That's maybe that's my one justification for that.
jarrod_dyke: The things that you never thought you'd say. ah
Grumpy Old Prop: Seriously Yep
jarrod_dyke: Ollie Chasm. Yes.
Grumpy Old Prop: Hmm
jarrod_dyke: Levenberg. Yes. Ben Portfoot. Yep. Shellcock. Shell Penis, whichever one you prefer to him as. Stuart. Stuart. Yes. Sitz. Dan Cole. Charlie Clare. Not sure this will be time raffles week. So Don't really bank on him doing what he did last week Young's doesn't have it anymore. Just stop just stop being dumb pre -say should he be healthy still as a sit? Has a Collins Bassett. Nope. Nope. I need to I need to see them that neither one of them has been great since they moved the last row therefore honest For the bath man, Obama. Oh, yes done. Yep Alfie and Hill. Yes
jarrod_dyke: Spencer and Finn, yes. Mira, Koka, DeGlamville are all gonna be thumbs up for me. Sits this week will be Charlie Ules, Underhill if he's healthy, even though I'm not gonna play him. And then, oh, Lawrence is a star too, Jesus.
jarrod_dyke: What the hell am I doing with that?
Grumpy Old Prop: Who?
jarrod_dyke: Dummy. Holy Lawrence.
Grumpy Old Prop: I may be considerate.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah, I'm starting to, so.
Grumpy Old Prop: think Think about it.
jarrod_dyke: ah But yeah, Underhill and Ules, don't, don't, don't, don't do it. Just don't touch that.
Grumpy Old Prop: All right, then we're on to the sharks and shits.
jarrod_dyke: ah the weeks ah of the the weeks.
Grumpy Old Prop: I'm sorry, the sharks and shits of the week.
jarrod_dyke: Yes. There you go. You just, you had it. You just didn't finish it.
Grumpy Old Prop: right OT dubs so um my start of the week I Mentioned his position group um but Him specifically has been a problem of late and he didn't quite get loose against sale You see where he ranked um Yeah, not not quite in the top 10 maybe we just beyond it oh Yeah 11th So, but still, I think Luke Northmore is going to find some gaps against the Falcons.
jarrod_dyke: Stop copying my homework, asshole.
jarrod_dyke: I need a supervisor. I need a supervisor.
Grumpy Old Prop: So so wait then who's your start of the week? I haven't quite figured it out yet.
jarrod_dyke: ah
jarrod_dyke: I'm a huge fan of him and I was like, oh, this will be a great game for him to get back on track. And, you know, every time he plays, usually scores. Well, usually not always, obviously last week being one of those weeks, but yeah, Northmore F and L.
Grumpy Old Prop: So either either we are Masters of the blindingly obvious and yes, obviously people would consider starting Northmore.
jarrod_dyke: Uh, not that much.
Grumpy Old Prop: How much is he owned?
Grumpy Old Prop: 11 % is not terrible.
jarrod_dyke: I don't think at least. Okay. Nevermind.
Grumpy Old Prop: Not terrible.
jarrod_dyke: I, Looked at the wrong number clearly. Oh cuz I looked at any on those number. That's why Yeah, no I'm getting say I'm getting rid of a center this week.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay. Yeah, I mean, yeah, like, Lawrence is 18 or so. Yeah, Anyan was 3%, right? um So, like, the people should know, and if you don't have him, you probably want him.
Grumpy Old Prop: um Want him this week. Or, and if he doesn't go well, then, you know, like, that sucks.
jarrod_dyke: So Yeah, he drinks the shit out of him
Grumpy Old Prop: Like, I got nothing else. Like, it's one of those, I don't know, something went wrong.
jarrod_dyke: Clearly, you know, he got, he, he was the one that missed.
Grumpy Old Prop: yeah Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: All right. Um, and then sit.
Grumpy Old Prop: Sit of the week, you're gonna hate my sit of the week.
jarrod_dyke: Why?
Grumpy Old Prop: Because it's Gus War. And I know you don't like him.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah. I mean, we know Vanzel's usually a dick to this opposing scrim app. So that's not a, regardless of the team that is being played, like Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: But still, there's...
jarrod_dyke: Like we know Spencer's, we know Spencer's an asshole to scrum haves. We know Ben Zell's an asshole opposing scrum haves.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: Even like Danny care has, ah has his days where he's just complete dickhead to the opposing scrum haves and puts them off their game. So it's not a bad pick. Um, you might, you might hate my pick too, actually.
jarrod_dyke: Um, yeah, I just, I don't know what this guy's doing in the back row and I don't see how it gets better for him when he goes away from home against a team that actually is together and knows how to do things.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: So, uh, might say that he's going to be Ethan roots for magazine.
Grumpy Old Prop: Fair. I honestly, ah I was wondering if you were going to go with John Luke Dupree, because we i mentioned that.
jarrod_dyke: ah See, see you and I have a slightly different opinion of him, but that's okay.
Grumpy Old Prop: I. I thought you were going there. um Yeah.
jarrod_dyke: No. i'm not I'm not putting the double hex on the series.
Grumpy Old Prop: Gotcha. Good. OK, I'm glad you went the way you went. I approve.
jarrod_dyke: ah
Grumpy Old Prop: And I approve of, yes, you're right, I don't like that particular player much either.
jarrod_dyke: No. No, no, no. Yeah. And when he's actually three asked to chase people around the field, because that's what Northampton do.
jarrod_dyke: So good luck, you giant dumbass. All right. Anyway, cool.
Grumpy Old Prop: this This one is awkward to end, because before, I mean, I appreciate, I like that we moved the pickums to the other pod. But now it's like, okay, we do our start of the of the week.
jarrod_dyke: Yeah.
Grumpy Old Prop: Okay. And then that's it.
jarrod_dyke: That's the end.
Grumpy Old Prop: It's just weird. After so many years of doing it one way, we were doing it another and it it just feels like this is an abrupt ending.
jarrod_dyke: I mean, of course.
Grumpy Old Prop: So folks out there, I apologize. It feels abrupt to us too.
jarrod_dyke: and so Yeah, it'll it'll take some getting used to. It's only week two after we did it for the other way for six years, including that super long ass season where ah during COVID.
Grumpy Old Prop: Yeah. So right.
jarrod_dyke: So yeah. Yeah, yeah, just give it a bit.
Grumpy Old Prop: Right.
jarrod_dyke: It's OK. You know, I believe it was I believe it was said by Denzel Washington. It's like Nova King.
Grumpy Old Prop: Mm hmm.
jarrod_dyke: Give it time. It always works. Anyway, excuse me, Jesus.
Grumpy Old Prop: Just.
