Watson getting a go at FB is good to see even if it is under unfortunate circumstances

Bench looks good, Itoje/George coming on will be serious impact in the last 30 mins

Really looking forward to seeing how Underhill goes against Hooper, I fancy Robshaw to pull off his usual masterclass against the Aussies too

by Driver Thu 16 Nov 2017, 1:50 pm

Tom Croft retires on medical grounds

40 England caps and 2 Lions tours, 4 Premiership titles.

Not a bad career.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 19 Nov 2017, 7:41 am

So......Brussow to Saints, Shields to Wasps.

by ChequeredJersey Mon 20 Nov 2017, 12:48 am

Shields also wants to play for England!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 20 Nov 2017, 3:55 am

Sounds good to me, he's a cracking player. Finally a step up on Robshaw Run

by ChequeredJersey Mon 20 Nov 2017, 7:39 am

He is nearly as good as Robshaw, to be fair

by Fluxy Mon 20 Nov 2017, 9:04 am

Not sure on Shields, if he was that good, he would already be in contention for an AB shirt, or already an AB!
We aren't in the situation where for example, someone like Waldrom came over and could walk into the set up.

Don;t get me wrong Shields is a good player, but I would much rather see him playing in the AP for a season, before throwing his name in the ring for selection.

In other news, keep the predictions coming in, due by midday. I will get the next thread up and catch up with any bids.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 20 Nov 2017, 9:15 am

I'm not sure how Shields has missed the AB boat tbh. He's been on the fringes for years and has had a few great seasons in Super rugby.

If you flip it around, would Robshaw have an All Black cap - no. Would Robshaw be selected by any other tier Int nation - possibly not.

by prop_lyd Mon 20 Nov 2017, 12:21 pm

Sorry will struggle with predicitons till this evening.

by Fluxy Mon 20 Nov 2017, 12:25 pm

Already done them mate, so no worry!

by Fluxy Mon 20 Nov 2017, 1:11 pm

We should be all up to date!

I propose that the foriegns stay open until 9am next Monday, all in favour, say 'I'?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 20 Nov 2017, 1:23 pm

Good work

Just an idea....is it worth leaving them open for the season? As people accumulate cash, they can bid. Keeps the interest in predicting up and cash stays relevant.

by Fluxy Mon 20 Nov 2017, 1:33 pm

That is another proposal, let's see what everyone else thinks on the matter.

by BamBam Mon 20 Nov 2017, 3:03 pm

I'd keep it to windows, but have more of them

by Fluxy Mon 20 Nov 2017, 3:38 pm

BamBam wrote:I'd keep it to windows, but have more of them

Kind of like that idea. Could have a think, and do the odd window, where you can only sign a particular player in that time period (eg Southern Hemisphere uncapped player / a TOP14 player / a Tier 2 European player)

In the style of FIFA and their Squad Building Challenges, there would be a special going on, with some opportunity to raise some funds as well in that time frame, to help sign a player.

Thoughts?

by BamBam Mon 20 Nov 2017, 3:55 pm

I'd be ok with that

Pro14
Top 14
Super Rugby
U20

That could be your categories

Gives a mini window every few weeks for people to sign a player if they choose

by Fluxy Mon 20 Nov 2017, 4:04 pm

Will have a thunk on it and try and build it into the season, with a full window at some point in the new year.

Everyone happy with that premise?

Well, you know I disagree with you on this. The only nations that wouldn't select robshaw imo are maybe NZ (but right now they would) and Wales because Gatland

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 20 Nov 2017, 6:52 pm

No way would Robshaw be an AB CJ, just don't see that at all. There's about 10 better flankers in NZ.

From the home nation's I'd take Moriarty, Warbs, Tips, POM, Watson, Stander, SOB, Barclay above Robshaw personally.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 20 Nov 2017, 7:03 pm

Probably an unbalanced debate CJ. You're a Quins fan and I don't rate him, we're miles apart.

by ChequeredJersey Mon 20 Nov 2017, 7:41 pm

No disputing that, and no drama.

I'm not just a Quins fan though, I'm specifically a Robshaw fan. Think you're utterly wrong but you're entitled to your opinion and who am I to say I know better?

by Fluxy Mon 20 Nov 2017, 9:17 pm

To show would probably get into all of the Six Nations sides and the New Zealand side. May struggle in Argentina and SA. But it does depend on who else you can select

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 21 Nov 2017, 5:05 am

Yea you're right CJ, it's only opinions. He is probably the best we have at the minute, I just think we need better.

I've knocked up a new Tigers page to keep on top of signing etc.

by prop_lyd Wed 22 Nov 2017, 5:54 pm

North signed a dc and looks like moriarty doing the same. Rumour has it over here they are both heading to dragons now wru own the team.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Nov 2017, 7:14 pm

Could finally see a decent Dragons team if they carry on.

by prop_lyd Wed 22 Nov 2017, 8:41 pm

A lot of money being pumped into them. Been speaking to a guy who is involved in Welsh premiership with links to dragons. Apparently they've signed a few big names and also a Fijian winger from France. Think dragons will be on the up.

by Fluxy Thu 23 Nov 2017, 11:19 am

Very interesting England side!

What was the verdict on the window plans? Just thinking how best to continue to get a squad together

by prop_lyd Sat 25 Nov 2017, 8:20 am

Fair play Ackerman and bell have transformed Gloucester defence. 3 on the bounce!!

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 25 Nov 2017, 9:35 am

We were dire last night, not sure what's going on.

by prop_lyd Sat 25 Nov 2017, 11:06 am

Interesting the difference between how our seasons have gone pooly. You looked much better when flood came on. He took it to our line better than hodgson

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 25 Nov 2017, 11:28 am

We lacked carriers in the pack Prop, we never earned the right to go out wide.

These new rules are a concern imo. Teams aren't committing at the ruck so theres just a wall of defence, we ran out of ideas. A couple of time we got decent turnovers but were pinged, it's a bit confusing.

by prop_lyd Sat 25 Nov 2017, 4:23 pm

Yeah very much tackle and roll means a big wall of defence.

Scotland mind....even with 14 men that was a hell of a result. Over to Wales now!

Moriarty signed for dragons for 350k turned down dual contract. Been told this by dragons coach.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 26 Nov 2017, 5:33 am

Why would he turn down a dual contract Prop?

Didn't we used to get 3m for detailed predictions?

by pullthestrings Sun 26 Nov 2017, 2:58 pm

Does anyone have a link for Irish v Wasps?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 26 Nov 2017, 3:12 pm

Try vip box

It has always been £2m

itz dem rulez, at the top of the page..

by prop_lyd Mon 27 Nov 2017, 10:21 am

Not sure Pooly. I guess so that if he doesn't secure place in Wales squad he can go to France. Not sure how long a contract he's signed.

by Driver Mon 27 Nov 2017, 12:35 pm

Technical point Fluxy,

With the Wales game being played outside of the international window and clubs able to stop players playing in it, could i not stop Scott Andrews playing in that game?

by BamBam Mon 27 Nov 2017, 12:38 pm

club v country rows on the game, I love it

by Driver Mon 27 Nov 2017, 12:40 pm

Me and Warren will settle it! warning

by stnick88 Mon 27 Nov 2017, 2:37 pm

Gatland has said that clubs have no obligation to release players, so you should be able to keep Andrews this weekend.

by Fluxy Mon 27 Nov 2017, 2:39 pm

It is still an international and therefore if Andrews or any other players are selected for the game, they would be ineligible for their club.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 28 Nov 2017, 5:56 am

Flux, I've knocked up the Round 3 page and done the weather.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 28 Nov 2017, 4:19 pm

Keep seeing highlights of Scotland tries against Aus, got to watch this game!

by pullthestrings Wed 29 Nov 2017, 12:56 pm

What's the craic with Leicester? Is 7.5 definitely not keen, he's very active on the other forums still!

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 29 Nov 2017, 12:59 pm

He's never posted on here really. I can just run with them until we get somebody else.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 30 Nov 2017, 6:31 am

Still no team from Bam.

by Fluxy Thu 30 Nov 2017, 8:42 am

He was on yesterday, probably just forgot

by BamBam Thu 30 Nov 2017, 9:44 am

Its there! https://www.606v2.com/t66847-aviva-premiership-round-3-ai-s#3648720
