Shit!, thanks for that. Looks like I'll have Jamie and Dale then...

I am stuck on two points:
1) Who to use on my last transfer? I have just $7k left after the first two transfers, and am thinking of ditching Lambie or Ranger for someone cheaper (although Ranger is back on the wing).
2) Who to select out of Stannard or White?
Current team:
Alexander, Ciliers, res: Crockett
Battleship, res: MacDonald
Horwill, Pyle, res: Power
Pocock, Thomson, Minnie, res: Fritz Lee
Stannard, res: White
SBW, Jantjie, Mikeymike, res: Hobbs
Ioane (c), Lambie, Ranger

He'll probably have a blinder this week. Also JOC (James O'Connor), because I dropped him, and Kahui, cause I moved him to the bench. Oh, and Fruen will have a shocker, because I finally bit the bullet and bought him - I was cautious early in the season because the last I'd seen him play was for the baabaas against aus last year and he was way out of shape, I figured he may have kept a bit of the weight on in the off season and would sucker a few people in. Well didn't I look the fool, first game back he busts tackles, scores a try, sends WeePoo flying though the air. So, these are my murphy's law picks for the round.
I gave Money Bill the flick this week. It seems the reduction in points for offloads will make him less of a dominant fantasy player this year (or at least that's the summation I've made after two rounds).
Annoyed that JC Janse van Rensburg is injured for ages. He was great value.
New team is:
1. Wyatt Crockett (off the bench this week which is annoying)
2. Bismarck du Plessis
3. Dale Chadwick
4. Juandre Kruger
5. Anthony Boric
6. Adam Thomson (C)
7. David Pocock
8. Marcell Coetzee
9. Sarel Pretorius
10. Mike Harris
11. Digby Ioane
12. Elton Jantjies
13. Beaudon Barrett
14. Rene Ranger
15. Patrick Lambie
Given that Harris, Jantjies, Barrett and Lambie are all playing 10, this team looks like it has plenty of playmaking options!
Hopefully Thomson has an absolute blinder in a losing side

I have been avoiding Jantjies as he burnt me last year. Perhaps I need to let bygones be bygones though. Think you might be right about SBW Braveheart.

Challenge Accepted. I think Pretorius will outscore him, even with him doing the kicking.
We have very similar tastes, don't we? Hopefully I can improve a bit this week, first two rounds were hardly disastrous but now it's time to make my move.

I am pretty unhappy with my team for this week but there is only so much you can do with limited substitutes.

With Palu just announcing he's hamstring is rooted and he's not playing, I'm considering bringing Manu back into the starting side. What do you reckon? Or do I take a gamble on Brussow?
I was thinking the same.
I moved Manu to the bench and started Marcell Coetzee. Now thinking of flipping that back.

I've thought about it and my Tahs bias has lead me to believe that it doesn't matter who he's up against, if they're in a tahs jersey, he's fucked. Sticking with Heinrich.

Cheetahs scrum was the most penalised last year I believe. Not saying that the Brums will carve but Nic White loves Saturday arvo footy.
That's because prior to this season, Saturday afternoon rugby is all he's had the opportunity to play!

Same happened to me last week...Changes I made to my team didn't go thru for some reason so my trades are sitting on the bench.....PRETTY PISSED OFF!!
