Waiting List
1. pullthestrings
2. Bathite

When do the transfers open again Driver? Trying to work out who I should go for - any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Just before 6Ns

I'd go for a ball winning 7 like Daniel Braid

Maybe a hooker chris. I don't have that much of a problem with Webber but people seem to have a real agenda against him and it may cost you during the times when Hartley is away.

Not really sure who though. I suspect Faainga would get ripped to shreds. Perhaps Lloyd Burns?

Bookmark.

The chat is dire on my league so I'll have to swing by here for my dose of rugby talk.

Prepare for some stinking banter...

Dive in pull.

This homepage is not yet in play though, we still have about a hundred posts left on the old one which on the main page, so swing by there mate.

Always ahead of the game Driver.....!!

Amlin thread up

Injuries

do injruies take into account how much rest you've given players or just random?

Random.

random in the sense that all my best players will be left unscathed

Injuries are up. Mixed bag this time around with less injuries but players out for longer.

Awful lot of EQ players aswell. (Tom Mercy )

Injuries page

Is the game mentioned when they return?

Yes it is Luke.

Spies is a blow for me but rush and stowers are more suited to winter weather.

I thought the loss of Warren Fury would have been the bigger blow myself

Drats there goes two of my EQ bench! At least no massive names this time round - think that is the first time that has ever happened!

I got off ok although I miss de jongh he is mustard

Heino match thread is updated now.

Thanks to luke for the Amlin thread, much appreciated, I have locked the old Amlin thread and made the new one a sticky.

You're not exactly short on centres Matt

Not too bad with mine to be honest....think Ben Morgan's the biggest loss.

Just watching Wasps-Quins match from other week, I think Barnes wants to have Robshaw's babies!

Hopper looking pretty good and Wallace quality. Seeing best and worst of Simpson as normal, electric but erratic.

Quins looking outstanding 2nd half.

Robshaw Premiership player of month. Think he's played 6/7/8 too, game aside if he isn't part of 6N there's something seriously wrong.

Joe Gray only on the bench. Needs to nail the Quins 2 before he is seriously considered by England.

Wallace looks better everytime I see him Steve, really coming along.

I bet you Carl Hayman feels sore today after our 3rd choice LH destroyed him in the scrum! Can see why he doesn't start the big games if he always plays like that

I was surprised by that as well. Would like to see him have another look at Haymans with Bakkies or Shaw behind him in the row.

Wallace does look handy. Will benefit in 6N when he should get a consistent run of starts with Robshaw and/or Easter likely to be away with England and will learn from the bit part role at the moment.

I actually like what quins are doing by rotating grey. Think it does no harm for development. Think within 10 years you may see front row only lasting a half. Will start producing 40 minute props.

Lots of the French teams bring on a whole frot row at 50. Personally think Marler plays too much. I know England were concerned by the number of games he played. Saw an interview where Conor o Shea said he plays too much

Agree on the 40 minute props Matt , there conditioned for 5 minute bursts now. I played in a county game before where they named 5 front rows on the bench because they are allowed rolling subs in that position.

Anyone interested in a centre!
Oliver, Marty, EFS, Waldouck, Allen, Ansboro, Williams could all leave in the right deal!

Should be a belter this one!

Toulouse looking rampant! Quins struggling to stay with them physically

They're just a bit more clinical IMO.

Look at Toulouse depth. Salary cap massive difference Servat on bench etc is frightening.

Robson did well in lineout in bits I watched. Will watch it properly now.

Matanavou who I have banged on a bit about was apparently excellent for Toulouse. He was top try scorer in the 2nd French division last year

He finished well Matt, Toulouse were great. Just totally out powered Quins in the pack

Picamoles was pick for Toulouse

25 Mins in and this looks like a run away. Toulouse playing at 110mph in the contact. Macs penalty in the 25th minute never a penalty census doesn't even attempt to role away for Marler to play the ball

Hopper having a mare in defense

Great break by Hopper, Brown lacks out and out gas

Castres-Saints a good match, Saints scrum going well PDJ having a stormer. Pisi looking great in the backs but Castres keep running in tries. Saints defence not holding out well

Stormer? You are easily impressed Pooly. He has been alright along with most of Saints players. But they will get beat playing as they are.

PDJ having a stormer in the scrum that should have said.

Castres looking better team, good break away by Elliott though. Game on!

Great power from Saints scrum, really getting back into form.

Hartley having a little bit of a mare outside of scrum, dropped numerous balls and arrows all over. Like Hartley but he's very inconsistent this season

Elliot looks like he could be very handy. good finisher.

Big fan of Manoa! He could be a great player. May become EQ as well. Nutley struggling a little but a great prospect!

Great work, cracking break Elliott. He does look handy Steve, bit raw but a good athlete. Try bonus point away is pretty impressive, they must win this one

Saints scrum is superb, Castres have a very good unit but getting smashed.

Pisi great at 13, real talent

They need 10 points from the 2 Castres games to give themselves half a chance. I suspect only one side will go through from this group though as there aren't really any whipping boys.

Saints penalty count really costing them, Wood?!?! Brainless

Yeahh that's probably Saints out I think,
