Reckon Messam and Alberts will be the top scorers in the backrow with Thomson gone. Lealiifano...didn't even think of him. And, as much as I hate to say it, the Reds' recent defensive troubles (well, vs the Canes) have been out wide. If the Blues get it out there, Ranger or Rok could get some...

What's the head to head comp? I replaced Dagg with Freuan (intend to sub out next week, I reckon that SBW and Freuan will do a number on the Cheetahs' midfield). Tempted to bring in Masaga for Payne as well; I reckon Payne won't score well at fullback, but I don't have the available subs...

Saifoloi is currently playing fullback for Southern Districts 1sts, isn't he?

Don't forgot the Paul was the perennial bench warmer for the Wobs for years as well. When Kearns got injured for instance, they'd leave Paul on the bench to bring in Foley to start.

I thought a maul required two or more players from each side - so a single player sacking the guy as soon as he hits the ground is fine, but if a second player from the defending side joins in then it's a maul.

Still sitting on 401 after adjustments keep see-sawing me around 400, with a huge 1 point to come in from Dagg off the bench (for Poki). The joys of injuries. I have Thomson, Piutau, Dagg and Poki all injured so far, plus Beale needs to be subbed out for the Tahs (plus Sharks, Force) on a bye...

Ouch, both with Payne getting 1 point, Poki out before the game started and Dagg lasting a couple of minutes I effectively had 1 outside back this week. Doh. Those with Crockett must be celebrating.

Poki ruled out late with an injury. So Payne and Dagg get included for me regardless. For anyone that chose to put Payne on the bench and leave Poki in your team: good choice, but...ouch.

Baabaa; yeah Doppies as captain ended up being a good call. I was iffy on SBW as the Stormers have a pretty damn good defence. Same reason I put Dagg on the bench, but Payne just didn't get involved from fullback and scored a massive 1 point. Which was 2 more than Jack Lam for me last week, so I...

Bit of ambivalence settled my team in the end. Had two transfers left, but couldn't be bothered to chop and change. JC JvR, Strauss, (Big Mac) Kev, (Ged) Sykes, Campbell, (Franco vdM) Whiteley, Thomson, Messam, (Lam) Sarel, (Phipps) Gilbert, Gits, Doppies (c), (Siale Piutau) SBW, Payne, Poki...

They got banned from the cricket for two main reasons: 1) they were fetching beer for drunk people, bypassing RSA, and (I think this was the bigger killer) 2) they were strippers mainly, who for a small extra sum (and sometimes for free) were more than happy to flash. I know of some people...

Ioane (inside back) or Morahan (outside back) could be another bet if you think the Reds will tear up the Rebs out wide. Ioane is quite expensive at $447k, but still is about $60k cheaper than Cooper! Morahan is only $171k, but I'd tend to think you might be better shelling out the $250k-odd...

Payne moved to fullback for the Blues as well. At outside centre I thought that Payne would get another big score vs the Canes, but being at fullback I'm not so sure. I am stuck with who to choose to bench out of my outside backs: SBW, Dagg, Payne, or Poki? (OK, not SBW...).

Bloody hell, I hate John Mitchell. Franco van der Merwe rested (?) / rotated / dropped again onto the bench. I now have 4 (!!!!!!!!) Lions players in my fantasy team with the addition of Doppies (although this will be short lived as I'll trade out Doppies next week). Un-fucking-believable.

Better question is, who to bring in for Ice? I reckon it'll be Doppies this weekend for me, but longer term I have no clue. Maybe Carter (the one with a pass and a kick and a step and the ability to find a gap) when he can finally last a full 80.

Actually, standing still and not advancing or retreating is 100% fine if you're outside the 10m. The rules are quite clear on it.. You definitely do not need to retire until put inside once out of the 10m area, Refs have been pinging people this year for advancing prior to being offside -...

That was definitely one of the most exciting games oftbe year. Some of the plays were just enjoyable to watch. Thought Flynn's try was maybe a penalty; if he is touched on the ground he has to release. Bit of a line ball decision. Anyway the Saders were always looking like they had the game in...

Check that; forgot Ice was an inside back and Lambie outside.

Worked out that I would've scored more if I didn't use my wildcard thanks only to a freakish 70 from Olivier and a huge -1 from Jack Lam. Blah. Still managed to get over 400 so far (just) thanks to SBW as captain and Dagg. Otherwise wasn't a particularly high scoring round but Beale was also a...

Burgess kicks a little aimlessly and is once again punished by Huxley. Tabs lineout five out from their own line. Throw steal it. Rebels screw up midfield for obstruction and Tahs are relieved but don't find touch find the penalty. Eventually Beale gets a decent kick off which goes out 20...
