G&GR Fantasy Super Rugby 2011

[hench]

Still undecided about locks and who will be my hooker.

How does Horwill at #6 affect his numbers?

 

[qwerty51]

Go with Hore, decent price, plays like a backrower. And no poor throws to reduce points.

 

[TOCC]

Im going to offer one hot tip...... Patrick Lambie

He is playing 5/8, every chance he will be the kicker, relatively cheap, and he fills a outside back position on the fantasy table, doesnt tie up a inside back position..

dude, Laurie Weeks isnt starting... If you need a 75k prop, then you cant go past Dan Palmer!

Isaac Ross not playing has royally screwed up my team. Had to restructure today. My locks are now all screwy and broken, especially once the Rebels have a bye.

Here's my team, anyway:

Ben Alexander, Tony Woodcock, Laurie Weeks (bench)
TPN, Chilliboy (bench)
Matfield, Haoni Macdonald, Kevin O'Neill (bench) (I'm interested in people's suggestions on swapping Haoni and O'Neill)
Pocock, Adam Thomson, Julian Salvi, Jarrod Saffy (bench)
Will Genia, Chris Eaton (bench)
Morne Steyn, Quade Cooper (c), Ma'a Nonu (not sure on this one), Corne Uys (bench)
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Drew Mitchell, Mils, Kade Poki (bench)

 

[Ash]

By swapping Mils (275k) for Rooney (75k), I can swap Nonu for Dan Carter.

By swapping Myth for Dan Palmer, I could also buy serial pest and serially injured freak Ali Williams instead of Hoani. Hmmm.

 

[Gooch]

Geez I have made so many changes the last couple of days. I have settled on:
Props: Woodcock, Slipper, Weeks
Hookers: Flynn, Robinson
Locks: Sykes, O'Neill, Reddish
Back Row: Pocock, Read, Spies, Fritz Lee
1/2: Sanchez, Eaton
I/B: Cooper, Steyn, Beale, Savea
O/B: Freuan, Jane, Chambers, Payne

I'm very indecisive at the moment and will likely make more changes this afternoon. Lucky it's a quiet day at work.

I'm tipping Bosman to kick but solid pick. It was either him or Lambie for me.

An out of left field pick for Lock that I'm looking at (but will probably chicken out of) is Josh Bekhuis from the Highlanders. Triggs has gone to the Chiefs and Donnelly is injured. So you'd think a lot of throws would be going his way.

 

[Moses]

I thought Terblanche would kick for the Sharks?

I'm going with
Woodcock / McIntosh / May
Hore / Ralepelle
Thorn / Horwill / O'Neill
Waugh / Messam / Todd / Lam
du Preez / Eaton
Beale / Carter / Steyn / Savea
Sivivatu / Mitchell (c) / Nanai-Williams / Rooney

 

[barbarian]

Have finally settled on my side.

P: Alexander, Steenkamp (Henderson)
H: TPN (Robinson)
L: Bekhuis, Reddish (Earle)
F: Messam, Pocock, Spies (Todd)
9: Du Preez (McLeod)
IB: Coleman, Steyn, Ioane (c) (Hilgendorf)
OB: Gear, Dagg, Muliaina (Poki)


Now I can get back to work...

 

[dudebudstud]

I'm taking your advice - don't let me down! It was either Palmer or Dunning, but the Force haven't published their side yet.

 

[The Mayor of Perth]

Tuck is out injured for a month plus. Try JC Janse van Rensburg from Lions, too many Brumbies already for me to fit Palmer.

 

[rugbysmartarse]

OK, until I change my mind again:

P: Woodcock, Steenkamp, Du Plessis
H: TPN, Robinson
L: Matfield, Bekker, Simmons
B: Read, Alberts, Braid, Lam
H: Cowan, Duvenage
I: Steyne, Beale, Cooper, Jantjes
O: Turner, Lambie, Basson, Poki

 

[TOCC]

I will keep my team a secret until after the deadline... playing for sheep stations!!!

 

[Dumbledore]

Never done this before, I fear it's going to get ugly

OB: Gear, Dagg, Muliaina (Poki)


Now I can get back to work...

Well Dagg will be losing his 18 conversions and 16 penalty goals from last year already.

That's 84 points that he has to make up by playing in a better team.

 

[Brumbies Guy]

You'd think he'll easily make that up with tries/line breaks with a better team/longer season... especially running off SBW and Fruen

Possibly.

But he's the same price as Drew Mitchell who could score a number of tries against the Rebels and SBW isn't playing.

I'd trade him for Mitchell this week and then trade him back in for Round 2. Just an opinion.

 

[barbarian]

Yeah but Dagg gets involved a lot more around the ground than Mitchell, who essentially is just a finisher. Betting on a finisher to score a bucketload of points is dangerous, as they will either come away with four tries, but could also score hardly anything if the play doesn't come to their wing.

It's not all about scoring tries and conversions, Dagg is a world class player who will be racking up a heap of assists, line breaks etc.
