G&GR Fantasy Rugby Competition 2012

[FazzDog]

Welcome aboard FazzDog. Some interesting selections you have there. Good to see that you also have Moore as your skipper.

I have noticed that GAGR has slipped to 2 in the league ranking. I would blame SFR, but she has more points than me overall. However, in the last few weeks I have moved up almost 30 spots! Anyway, here are The Last Hard Men for this week:

Love the team Red Baron. I'm concious of Highlanders landing a big win but can't take the punt :S
Luckily I just re-checked my team and noted that Pakalani was out for D.Mitchell - Pakalani isn't even on the 'Tahs team list anymore ??? Taylor In.

Taylor!? As in Tom Taylor? The bloke who plays for the Crusaders and has the bye this week and who was dropped from the twenty-two the week before?

 

[Brumbies Guy]

Andre Taylor more likely

Brumbies Guy is on the money. But cheers for your concern AlexH!

 

[Braveheart81]

He replaced an outside back so it has to be Andre Taylor.

On the back of a 500+ score this week, I have swept back into the GAGR top 50!

Oh Dear. I had better make an effort for next week....

Team is getting there, now at 35 in the GAGR league. Andre taylor as cap and drafting in savea were both good moves. QC (Quade Cooper) was not. Still 525 is my best of the year so far.

 

[Shiggins]

My best this year. Yay. Round ranked 9th with 584.

Guess I'm first up for Round 15.... better score last round (427) but would still like to be pulling bigger numbers. Well done Red Baron! And absolute cracker to Shiggins - congrats!

I've uploaded my team this week - transferred in was: J. Savea (HUR), B. Retallick (CHI), E. Etsebeth (STO), B. Robinnson (WAR).

Hopefully go alright and grab a round closer to 450+

Hoping the Canes on their quest for a final spot can put a few tries out wide the depressed Tah's... Thinking about putting Tomane into my starting team over Tamati seeing the Highlanders have the Canes and the rums have the Rebels. Thoughts?

 

[FazzDog]

Nice team Joe Mac.

I have the same dilemma between Fruen and Tomane as you have with Ellison and Tomane. Considering Fruen hasn't been in great form last 4 games and the Crusaders are up against the Highlanders I've opted to run Tomane as he is a wrecking ball and should have a screamer against the Rebels. Hoping he gets more ball than when he played the Reds though! I just can't see the Highlanders putting the ball wide that ofter against the what pretty much is the All Black back-line! I think they'll opt to run the forwards like Thompson and Macintosh. Thus I have benched Ben Smith and Robbie Fruen for Zac Guildfor and Joe Tomane.

My thoughts anyway...

May I also quickly ask how you got your team (screen-shot) into the text box on GGRF?? I attempted but it failed as you can see above??

I screen print the team into paint. Then crop it to fit and just attach the image. Thanks for the call on Tomane- just added him

[Joe Mac]

I hope you do well this weekend No4918! We have nearly identical teams

 

[Nusadan]

No4198, didn't Taute get injured last week and left the field? I notice Foxsports have yet put up the Lions line up...

 

[No4918]

Thanks Nusadan, will check it out, 1 trasfer left.

Edit: yes Taute out. Hope i can afford Lambie just to make it even closer to Joe Macs cracking side.

 

[Nusadan]

Cheers 4198, can you post the Lions line up in the relevant thread please?

 

[The Red Baron]

The Last Hard Men for this week (I'm catching you SFR ):

 

[Bullrush]
