I wonder if Anscombe and Lealiifano could see me through the whole year at fly half.

 

[namtrak]

Whats the thinking on either Pulu or Weepu as halfbacks? Pulu is starting this week in a potentially high scoring game and Weepu looked fit and is kicking?

 

[Bullrush]

Hougaard better get his act together.

Who has the bye next week?

The Force

I went with Pulu based on the fact that half-backs overall seem to scoring very low. No sense in spending up big for what is unlikely to be a game-changing score.

Was v suprised when logging into site to make my transfers for the first time since two days before the first round to see myself on 701 points, was expecting a lot worse! (had been travelling past couple weeks, and to my horror my android tablet I took couldn't process the required transfers!

Made some changes for this week of course, but glad I had picked Ged, Quirk and Rathborne to name a few to get me where I am!

Robinson owners must be laughing their asses off at us idiots who choose Stephen Moore. They have gained 30 points and a spare 100K

Nothing idiotic about choosing Moore, stronger pack and he gunned it last year. Many would of picked Robinson because he was cheaper and reliable but not better then Moore. The cards fell their way and well done. I have not hesitated in transferring in Robinson this round for the Brumbies bye. Hope I'm not the kiss of death to Robinson owners. I wish they would take that red dot off Shields, he played last week and is named this week. I hope he has a blinder might be a point of difference.

Hmmm. In my centres I need two choose two of: JOC (James O'Connor), Taps and Bundee Aki. Currently have JOC (James O'Connor) on the bench. Any thoughts?

I still have JOC (James O'Connor) in my team but not sure it is a good move (I ran out of transfers and he certainly wasn't a priority to get rid of).

There might be plenty of shots at goal tonight because the weather is poor but it is unlikely that the backlines will get many opportunities. If he scores lots of points tonight it will be from kicking.

 

[barbarian]

Yeah I have a centre dilemma- have Tapuai, JOC (James O'Connor) and Frans Steyn.

Have gone with JOC (James O'Connor) and Steyn, with Taps on the bench. JOC (James O'Connor) is a classy player who should still score well in the wet. I hope. He will play the full 80 and get plenty of ball.

I am a big fan of F.Steyn, watched him against the Cheetahs quite closely and was impressed. Scored 30-odd points with very few opportunities- made a half-break almost every time he got the ball. He isn't kicking, but he is captain so will certainly play the full 80.

As for Taps, he is a good player who should get his chance against the Canes. What is the weather like in Brissy? For some reason I am cold on him this week, don't know why.

Front rowers with the new scoring system now get a lot of points for tackles so you pick players based on who will do the most defending.

 

[Ash]

It's been pissing down where I work (in North Ryde) all day so I figure it'll be a bit stretch to imagine the type of game that JOC (James O'Connor) would tear up. Kicking points are really bonuses - if JOC (James O'Connor) won't get many normaly points, then kicking points won't help too much.

Also bit concerned about Taps. I think it's really a Taps v JOC (James O'Connor) for me, Aki is staying starting for now.

 

[hench]

It's the same scoring system as last year where Moore scored 9 more points a game than Robinson.

 

[qwerty51]

yes but Brumbies have had easier games where they had the majority of possession where as the Rebels struggled for possession. That's why you take fixtures into account, not just if they're playing

 

[hench]

How did Moore outscore Robinson comprehensively for the whole year then? Rebels lose more games than the Brumbies did last year.

 

[qwerty51]

The Brumbies defended heavily last year

 

[hench]

And who was your hooker in Round 1?

 

[The Red Baron]

C'mon guys, settle down a bit. It is only week 3. At this stage it is impossible to predict who will end up with the higher points tally at the end of the year. Both players are consistent at the moment. Will that change over the season? Who knows. Is it really worth arguing over?

 

[hench]

I chose a bunch of random players this week. Stats out the window.

 

[qwerty51]

And who was your hooker in Round 1?

Moore, thought the Rebels would have the most possession over the Force, swapped them around in round 2.
