yeah you have Merts but he's reliable, consistant, boring and predictable . . . King Carlos is engmatic, spontanious, unpreditcable and exciting - and ask many all blacks he is the legend

Wilko to start, carlos off the bench....nice wheels

Bathite wrote:Wilko to start, carlos off the bench....nice wheels

I thank you very much

also driver has a point Merts was the man really, if he hadn't been so good it would have given Spencer much more of a chance in the all blacks, they are not far apart on average scores per game and i dread to think how good spencer could have been if merts wasn't around . . . mind you saying that I know who I would want if the chips were down and you needed something special to break the dead lock

I'd also know who i wanted to throw a flat pass in the opposition 22 in a world cup semi final!

whoops, oh stirling, you're not on my team........fiddlesticks

you mean you wouldn't prefer a crazy through the legs pass or a magical line break or even a chip to the corner from 50 meters out? lol

spencer 's merts

and make 'Cardrew Spertens' children of rugby legend . . .

Hello BANAFAN it's me Viva from 606. I pick that New Zealand guy as my legend what's his name? Wilkinson or something.

still one of my favourite tries i have ever seen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8btfw32h-w

sums carlos up perfectly!

that blues backline was terrifying

yeah that blues try was one of the best, starts behind his own line, gets knocked over, can catch up i support to finish the move he started - legendary!!!

hell of a back line that

Might be a weird pick but im going for.

Nick Evans

Not really a legend is he?

Nick who????????

c'mon bear you can do better than that

Alright I will pick again then.

If Al Baxter has been picked then Nick Evans is a grand choice

Australian prop and legend in same sentence shocker!!!!

an aussie prop is not the same as a fly half?

who you thinking of sharks?

oo may get my choice in today after all!! off to the gym now lads and then got free tickets for 20-20 so will be on my phone

20-20 whos playing?

I don't know whether to go for a flanker or someone in the backs???

mind you bear if you want nick evens you have nick evens ok

glamorgan vs essex....my housemate gets free tickets....he's already got somerset ones for me

20-20

Somerset are class.

Looking at the competition so far, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Sussex and Somerset look really good.

Im changing Nick Evans and going for Simon Easterby.

If someone takes my next player I will hunt you down.

inthefastlane - Prop
Pullthestrings - Free Pick

Just those needed please.

so once the free picks have gone we are into bidding wars are we

Yes foreign transfers and domestics will open, first round of fixtures if all goes well will start next week.

Neil Jenkins.

Emile Ntamack

The try scoring beast will cover wing fullback and centre! Get in!

inthefastlane won't be on today so I guess today's players are all over.

Hopefully we can finish by tomorrow.

ffs bathite!!!
that was my next choice - great center, i need someone else to cover there - he plays a good 12/13/14/15 - nice coverage mate

r craps and jenkins gone

Where is everyone? Was hoping we'd get through this today so we could start some bidding wars.

im around, but i did the last pick, emile ntamack!

yeah i noticed - you get . . . i had a list with N'tmack, jenkins & helay on it - at least I got Spencer

N'tmack . . . look forward to lining up Wilkinson against him again . . .

Like I said inthefastlane said yesterday that he wouldn't be on today.

He has the next two picks so we won't be able to get through if he isn't around, that's why it is quiet, sorry about that.

Thought he was going to PM you his picks?

Hasn't he went offline when I told him to do so, so I guess he hasn't seen it Pete.

So we will just have to wait until tomorrow, he does like to come on at night though but I doubt it from what he said.

He's at Wimbledon seen it on his Facebook earlier

Driver, Facebook message him and tell him to get his pick in mate.

hahahaha when he is at Wimbledon.

Can do Driver, but Wimbledon action shouldn't be disturbed you could ask him from me if he got a ground pass or went to see the show courts

Done

at least he will be sober at wimbledon . . . you can't afford to get peed there

That's another place where i never plan to go to then.
