Really stuck between a couple for hooker: do I go for a machine, for combo's or just welsh?!

Go for what you want Prop, hurry up lol

Gerber grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Can i pick mine now?

Yup Driver Yup.

Will Greenwood - Englands greatest ever back

Uli Schmidt-South African 80's hooker!! Fingers crossed Steve doesn't go for my pick at 12!

oh dear greenwood gone now!! . . . hey driver think you will find that statistically Josh Lewsey was England's most successful back of all time.


if you want to split hairs lol

Scott Gibbs

Sorry Prop I fear that might be your guy

I am crying watching all these great center go whilst I have to twiddle my thumbs waiting for my go at this rate I will be left with Hape and Barrit . . . .

Nooooo steve how could you??!! Oh well may be a while researching this one sorry guys!

The greatest English back of all time is very close between Robinson, Greenwood, Robinson, Dawson, Duckham,Wilkinson, Peter Jackson, Rob Andrew, Rory Underwood and Jeremy Guscott

at this rate I will be left with Hape and Barrit . . . .

Robinson, Greenwood, wilkinson, Underwood, Lewsey, Guscott, Carling, Dawson???, Andrews,

Im bottom of the list for the last centre so be quiet Banafan

I know my player anyway and nobody will take him.

LDCPete you need to pick a couple, so does Bathite.

Prop we all know what you have to do so I doubt you will be more than a few mins deciding.

Pullthestrings currently out but will be really busy when he gets back.

With this centre business are we definately picking inside and then outside?!

lol i know am well down the list for centers

don't know about orders now, think bear might have said either or?? check with him mate

OMG anyone seen the luis figo just for men advert - makes me cringe, was like watching that scene in Rocky where he tries to do an advert lol

You can pick any centre, too complicated because quite a few centres played both inside and outside.

But Pullthestrings can keep O'Driscoll only fair.

Ok cool: so I can ponder for inside centre a bit more I'm going with this beast: frank bunce

ah jesus there goes another choice!!!

My bad :p need to build up on welsh now!!

don't think the welsh had any good players mate . . .
:run2:

i still have some top quality choices but there are still a lot of choices ahead of me

Just Pull, Bathite and Pete to wait for now then.

Patient game people.

oh am patient, just watching all the class centers disapear am hoping that my 2 or 3 choices don't all go, or I get at least one of them

who's your choice you think no one will get bear??? PM ME i am after you . . .

Oooo hon how dare you!! No more for you!!

prop_lyd wrote:Oooo hon how dare you!! No more for you!!

how dare i what??

Abuse welsh rugby!!

oh yeah sorry

Bathite is on, but I doubt he will get his picks in just yet.

My centre nobody will go for him I can sense it, not telling anybody though he is just too good.

gooooooo on tell me am dying to know pm me - my choice is after yours . . . bet it's one of my 3 or 4 choices

ah just noticed actually your second center choice is after mine

Surprised no one has gone for Guscott?

Highly doubt it enough fussing.

We have to wait for Pullthestrings, Bathite and Pete to get there picks in first.

SHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

My old man's given me my next centre woooo

am hoping pete and luke can post their center choices so i get a choice before everyone else get a second choice in the other pool !!!!!

you dad has given you your next center???? interesting!

So any of you older guys would you rate Gerber at 12 or is he definitely a 13?

Gerber 13 mate but I bet he would have played 12 somewhere in his life for club etc . . . . but really a 13!

Hon.....you killed the draft!!

what me I have done nothing mate?

Evening all

Will get my picks in after the kids are put to bed in an hour or so, been doing fathers day type stuff all day.

Just a point of order. It appears that we are just going for centres rather than inside and out which is fair enough, but in that case then shouldn't round 13, the second centre pick for everyone remain closed until everyone has picked their 1st centre in round 12, in the same way we did not open round 14 (winger) until round 11 (winger) was complete?

Otherwise if they are both open you could have people getting to pick 2 centres before some people have got to pick one.

They are not both open Pete mate, Pullthestrings already picked O'Driscoll until about Sela and Umaga made me change things around.

I thought it was only fair that as Pullthestrings already picked O'Driscoll I will let him keep him, but the second centre round is currently closed at the moment, but O'Driscoll counts for Pull.

You know what you need to do anyway Pete, Hooker, centre and fly-half when your ready.

Having some real turmoil here trying to decide on players, who would have thought this game would be so hard.

ha! yeah tell me about it - lots of choice but every time I see someone pick another player I keep thinking day that was a good choice!!!

Hooker, Centre and Fly-Half ain't really hard lol.

not if you get the first go mate lol if your down the bottom like us though needs a bit of thought

Right, I'm on. I'm sure Bear won't hesitate to remind me the positions I'm due...

Ok
