WRL Season 5 - Homepage

In my opinion, because Toulouse are a much better side on paper, which in this game counts more than form.

Also, can't believe Toulouse got 15m to be honest, think that it should be lower!

Toulouse may have the front 5 and Centre advantage but I'd give the Reds the nod in every other department and by some way in the back row and half backs.

Well i look at it as the number of players that you both have that would start in the end of season ERL4 team and wouldn't need replacing, which should determine how much cash you need. Thats what I did when choosing my team anyways.

Reds: 5+3
Horwill, Higgy, Genia, Cooper, Iaone (Samo, Faingaax2)

Toulouse: 8+3
Servat, Albacete, Dusatoir, Skrela, Jauzion, Clerc, Medard, Poit (CJ,Picamoles,Kelleher)

Nice one mate.

That questions is easy - Pooly was doing the budgets and he's the Reds

Bathite I'd much rather have Kelleher on my team than Skrela. And I wouldn't put CJ In the brackets.

We can argue the details, but i think the overall point is clear?

Quade Cooper
James Horwill
Peter Hynes
Digby Ioane
Will Genia
James Slipper
Rob Simmons
Scott Higginbotham
Radike Samo
Anthony Faingaa

These wouldn't look out of place in any side.

Hang on one minute.

Last years squads????and I only get 15 mil?

So I don't have Mac, Gurthro, Beuxis, Burgess or Gary Botha

Toulouse are much stronger than Reds.

Reds backrow better than Toulouse?!?!?!

Toulouse have Dus who's world class for starters, Reds have no established Ints with only Samo likely to start (only recently tho).

Toulouse back 3 a class above with only Iaone top class. Toulouse centres better Jauzion & Fritz. All Toulouse front row players better also.

People don't rate the Reds as highly as you Steve, I'll be happy to do some dealing with some Toulouse players!

'Toulouse are much stronger than the Reds'



I simply don't think that's true.

Would love to see the game....

Opening round looks tasty Luke

Biarritz Olympique v Waratars
Crusaders v Toulouse
Hurricanes v Sharks
Leicester Tigers v Reds
Leinster v Northampton Saints

Does Michalak count as Toulouse or Sharks in this game?

In honest opinion:

Poux>Daley
Servat>>Fa'ainga
CJ=>Slipper
Maestri<Horwill
Albacete>Simmons
Dusatoir>Higginbottom
Nyanga>Robinson
Picamoles=>Samo

Kelleher<Genia
Skerla<Cooper
Medard=Ioane
Jauzion>Fa'ainga
Fritz>Chambers
Clerc>>Davies
Pointrenaud>Hynes

I've got that as 11 to Toulouse....3 to Reds and a draw. Toulouse squad depth is much greater also.

Poux > Daley
Servat > Fa'ainga
CJ < Slipper
Maestri < Horwill
Albacete>Simmons
Dusatoir > Higginbottom
Nyanga < Robinson
Picamoles = Samo

Kelleher<Genia
Skerla<Cooper
Medard = Ioane
Jauzion> Fa'ainga
Fritz > Chambers
Clerc > Davies
Pointrenaud > Hynes

2 draws, 8 toulouse, 5 red

Do my crusaders and reds

B Franks>Daley
Flynn = Fa'ainga
O Franks >> Slipper
Thorn = Horwill
S Whitelock > Simmons
G Whitelock = Higginbottom
McCaw >>> Robinson
Read >> Samo

Ellis << Genia
Carter > Cooper - by just a bit
Guildford = Ioane
SBW > Fa'ainga
Freun > Chambers
Maitland > Davies
Dagg >> Hynes

Yea cheers Driver haha

Anybody fancy a friendly lol?

He played for the Sharks in Currie Cup: Driver, Sharks are Sharks so surely it doesn't matter what competition.

prop

Michalak played for Toulouse until 31st May. In terms of last season his main club is surely toulouse?

But isn't it the team he finishes playing for? Plus you've got good enough 10's i have bugger all.

Looking to get some quality forwards to match my backs

Turner (Maybe Burgess) (Maybe Horne) available to leave for a forward

Who's up for some deals?

Yer

What you looking for buddy?

I'm about!

Evening fellas

Evening pull

Probs gonna wait til the RWC finished before foreigns etc. Pete, Pooly, Bathite still to return..

Can;t wait to see how much WC has changed ratings :')

You mean like Isreal Daggs

I can't think of a Reds player who's had a good WC!!!

Maybe Ioane when he's played has looked quality, but Genia hasn't been great and Cooper has been awful

Warburton, Preistland, Manu, Weepu, Dagg, Clerc, Samo will have rocketed.

Not been too impressed with SBW, S Jones, Cooper, Stevens

TPN wasnt impressive
Australia missed Robinson
Kepu was tosh
Barnes was missed
Horne comes out looking good imo
Mitchell is still one of best wingers in world as no winger shone. Jane and JOC best two imo.
Beale is still Australias main something outta nothing player imo

George North for me showed that he is a top quality Winger

I haven't done the first deal, and there isn't enough transfer activity

* INSERT MORE BLOGS RANTING*

Good list there Pull. Samo has been up and down but was relatively unknown on the Int scene. Not too sure about Priestland but Warbs has played well.

McCaw put in one of the best individual performances from an OS all WC on Sunday for me, was outstanding. Gave Pocock a torrid time and Pocock was still impressive!

Up for deals.

Me too....

After 1,2,4,7,12,13,14,15

Willing to offload most including Samo, Simmons, Fa'ainga etc

Cooper, Genia, Ioane, Horwill need big deals

I'm after a 2 , 13 , and a 6

Is this still going?

It is but there finishing the wc game fort I think

To be honest I don't think either the RWC or this will be continuing - there's not enough people showing day to day interest.

shame but would rather bin it off now than half way through the season start looking for mangers, restructuring the league etc

Why don't we do it in the style of rwc one so have pools etc? Just make it like 2/3 groups and knockout stages etc....quick fast action?

Also I hope the rwc one does because we're at the very end anyway and I stand a chance at the final!

The end of the ERL..........

Need to get you on AP game Pull

Ever thought of doing a fantasy Top 14 league Pull , some of the AP guys would love that!
