Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
You inclined Franks hasn't played against anyone decent because the French gave up. The French don't give up and pride themselves on their scrummaging, the AB's dominated the scrum most of the game.
I agree the French slipped off their game big time after 10/15 mins but it was more the intensity around the park than set piece.

To put things into perspective Franks has played against Tiny, Barcella and Poux. Three of the best scrummaging LH's about imo.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Tiny on his own is not a great scrummaging loosehead. He is a powerful man who ad part of the Saints front row bullied weaker packs last season. Against decent scrummaging tightheads he has often been second best. In the loose he is a monster. As a scrum technician he is not up there with the best.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
I have to partly agree with Pooly here.
I didnt use to rate Franks as a scrummager but he is slowly proving me wrong.
Tiny doesnt have the best technique, but to say he often came off 2nd best is a bit far fetched. I'd say Saints got the better of 9/10 opposition last season.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
I like Franks but to call him the best TH of the world cup to date based on a performance against a french scrum with Szarweski (spelling??!!) at hooker just doesnt sit with me. Don't rate Szarweki as a scrummager at all. Everytime he plays the french scrum struggles.
Mike Ross is the stand out so far for me. Been fantastic for the Irish to date.

Franks didnt get on top of big Tonga though did he? Struggled 2nd half in the scrum. Looked good against France till Szarweski came off then couldnt get any head way. Been average in the loose as well. To call him the best TH of the world cup to date based on that doesnt sit with me.

Franks gave Tonga a torrid time mate, they took him off at 50mins if you watch back and the replacement was outstanding

Didnt realise Tonga went off early 2nd half? Just remember the Tongans giving All Blacks all sorts of problems 2nd half in the scrum and were close to the penalty try mark at one stage.

As soon as Szareski went off Franks could get nothing out of Barcella though. Cannot remember the french scrum ever doing well with Szareski at hooker. Would hazard a guess and say Franks wouldnt have got anything out of Poux if Szareski wasnt on the field then either

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Jesus Johnny man, give the lad a break lol. he's dominating the majority of games against top opposition, not saying he's the best in the world but he's prob been the standout so far in the WC. It's hard to put in a shift in all game against another top class LH. Ben Franks has been coming on for Woody so he hasn't really been getting a break.
Ross is quality but all he has done is dominate an Aus LH and not really turn up to much in the loose.
With you on Szareski tho, the differece when Servat comes on is scary. Guaridino? should prop be ahead of him tbh

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Take Szareski away and all Franks has done is get on top of Tonga for 1 half just think Ross shades it in the world cup all opinins though
Could be accused of bias since i signed him but would defo have Guirado ahead of Szareski. Much better at the basics and just as good in the loose. Did well in the warm up games too.
Cant understand why Szareski is in the 22 when Guirado can match him in the loose and is much stronger at the basics and Servat is probably the best scrummaging hooker in the world. French scrum always struggles with him on

Must admit I'm not a huge fan of Ross. Think he's pretty average but the the rest of the Irish TH's are that bad he looks great!
I rate Poux very very highly and Franks gave him all sorts of issues, be best TH in world soon, especially with his loose play. All opinions of course lol

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Swarzeski has incredible darts he is an average scrummager but better than guirado. Guirado plays between beasts at club level but his throwing is much worse than someone like deon Fourie who you think has bad darts.
Guirado is great round the park but the french lineout is their massive strength so why compromise it with guirado?
Franks has done well and woody been poor. Says a lot
For ben franks

Looks not fully fit.
Thomson still best scrummaging hooker in the world. One of the greatest ever in that respect

Can never understand why they dont play Evans at 13, he'd completely change their midfield!
Driver you were right with Armitage, I'm amazed by that call espc as b loody Banahan comes on the bench. See Easter has got back there too, never the biggest fan of having a backrow that covers on position from the bench, though I guess Moody can play 6 or 7 and Haskell 6, 7 and 8.

Wonder what Cueto has managed to do to upset Johnson. Been first choice ever since he's been coach, scored 3 in the last game (although against a lower class side) and then goes out of the 22 altogether.

Can't believe he went for Lawes over Palmer! I would have bought Lwes off the bench and done some damage in the last 20!
Think Cueto might still be carrying a knock and would slot straight back in without any real game time as it's just the player he is.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Armitage deserves a spot in the side on form.
Don't get this whole balance in the back three thing. For me you want a winger who will score tries, make metres, beat his man, and Armitage offers that. He is also solid in defence and kicks well.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Matt,
Never really seen the Perpignan lineout struggle and Guirados throwing was more then fine for France in the warm up games where he had a much bigger impact on the games then Szareski. Hes fantastic in the loose and a much better scrummager then Szareski and should be in the match day squad ahead of him for me.
On England surprised Palmer isnt starting. Hes our best lock at the moment. With Driver in that Lawes should have benched for this one would have been great to bring on in the final quarter against tired legs.
Surprised Cueto was dropped as well. Brings a real stability to our back 3 and dont think he gets the credit he deserves. Hes a fantastic line breaker from kick returns and makes decent metres there. Hes involved in a lot of the good things England do through the backs. Doesnt score enough but does everything else for me

Frances lineout is so strong due to amount of quality jumpers rather than the hooks been exceptional throwers. They often lineup with 5 top class jumpers, in Bonnaire and Hari they have two of the best backrow operators about. Plus Nallet, Picles etc are also quality.

Might be biast but Pickles is a player who has impressed me since the warm ups. Out performed Harri against New Zealand. Was Frances best backrower that game and was an absolute menace against Ireland in the warms up. Had a decent year in the Heino and Top 14 as well. Should be starting 8 for France at this stage so was delighted to see he got the nod against the All Blacks

Been unlucky to be behind Harri who was immense 2008-2010 really for the french so didnt get a major go at the 8 shirt but definately their best 8 at the moment. As you say will be some battle over the next few years but definately has an edge at the moment for me.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Would have had Lawes and Palmer - don't rate Deacon, but I guess he is in there for his set piece, and grunt in the scrum. I like Lawes, he's added quite a lot to his lineout game in the last 6 months, though wonder how much of that is down to Palmer orchestrating it for England?
Think Lawes goes in because I'd imagine he's a little bit intimidating for the opposition in terms of the big hits he puts in, especillay on oppositions midfield. Also he is very mobile and offers a lot in defence. Just like to see him partner Palmer.
I'm amazed Banahan has made the bench, I'd prefer to leave the bench with 6 players than have him there...
NB. Chris is not a fan of Banahan.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
Your right on Deacon Chris he has been brought in to do a job at the set piece. Lawes will do well around the park coming in then after we have taken the sting out of Scotland.
Banahan is only on the bench because he covers wing and supposedly centre. Post world cup something needs to be done though if he is still being considered for centre. Hes a great club player byut will never make it at the international level. Just hasnt got enough to his games.
Aussies have had horrible luck with injuries. A few more against Russia and it will be easy picking for South Africa in the quarters. Should never have been so naive against Ireland. Didnt scout them out at all and its really come back to bite them in the ass now

Samo used to play wing Chris, I imagine they're just resting they're wide options maybe?!?!? I thought Mitchell, JOC, AAC were all fit.
That imo is the best midfield Aus can put out. The last time Barnes/AAC played together they totally dismantled France. AAC runs hard and straight and Barnes fed him all night.

Re: Fantasy Aviva Premiership season 4 homepage
I'm hoping SA go through to the semi's versus the AB's because they are likley to cause them a lot more damage than the Aussies in terms of battering them, so the All Blacks might not be fully fit for the final, potentially against England!
I do like having Lawes in the team, think he offers so much around the park, not 100% sure about his breakdown work though. THink that is the area that England need to address and we don't have the backrow for it.
Just don't get Banahan's selection - he isnt a game winner, by all accounts he should be with his size and power, but he doesnt have the rugby brain and always, always looks for contact.

the other selection i dont really get is Wigglesworth, I'd have given Simpson more game time as his speed could be such a weapon from the bench. Think Wiggles is another who is a good club player but doesn't really do too much else, I dont see him making breaks or anything like that. If you need someone to up the tempo in a game, or need someone to chase a game you are losing then surely Simpson?
