A bit of good news to come from Irish..

Isn't he only there 1 day a week?

3m total

Thoughts on the BALANCE of my team


8.Nick Easter
7.Matt Kvesic
6.Chris Robshaw
5.Ollie Kohn
4.George Skivington
3.James Johnstone
2.Tom Lindsey
1.Kieron Brookes

09.Luke Burgess
10.Nick Evans
11.Adam Ashley Cooper
12.Owen Farrell (K)
13.Elliot Daley
14.Scott Hamilton
15.Jared Payne

I'm not sure of Farrell at 12- Evans is an excellent kicker and I think he'd make a better sub 10 covering centre if you have a more dynamic 12 available

I would never in this world start Farrell at 10 over Evans....

Balance is pretty good tbh, I'd go AAC at 13 with Farrell

No, i meant Farrell on the bench. Any team that can afford to bench Evans is called the All Blacks!

Haha....I thought you were cracking up there!

England 22 for first test?

Give you my opinions in a bit. Just eating

On the prowl for a deal!

Oh yeah. Dealing. I think Evans is awful for your team's balance and you should send him my way

Probably talking shoite here but thought Brookes was a tighthead??

Agree about Farrell at 12, not sure he's best utilised there. Think you'd do well with carrying 12. Not neccesarily a world beater but someone who offered more of a running threat as in my mind it would give Evans a split second longer to work his magic.

If i were you i'd look at a 12 as mentioned above, and possibly a bit more experience in the front row.

Guys: just so you know the awards voting is open! Can the powers that be make it a sticky please

Only been here a few days- as far as I'm concerned I'm not eligible to vote

Ha! Only a bit of fun mate, but would be a bit tricky for you to judge! Top work on the tactics though by the way!

Pooly -

I know i'm always asking annoying questions, but can someone clarify what the rules with transfers are?

I'm under the impression that..

We have 2 foreigns when this season finishes. We have a foreign U21 coming at some point, that won't count.

So effectively, I could sign 3 players between now and my first league game of next season? is that right?

Olympic Rugby Fantasy game for Summer

Where do I need to improve guys? I'm thinking hooker, sh and ic? Thoughts?

Just seen the England squad, and I'm for one quite hopeful seems pretty good IMO. Also quite glad to see Morgan isn't out injured!

Prop - would say they are the important ones for now, but a 7 and maybe a utility back on the list later down the line.

Pretty happy that Fearns has gone on the tour, hoping for a big season from him. Really surprised that Palmer has gone.

I like Dawdiuk Prop. Maybe look to get a top flanker in to compliment the backrow, scrumhalf and then a 12

Anyone want to post the England squad? Too lazy to go looking for it!

You've missed Matt Garvey Bathite

So has lancaster! Not in the squad

Cheers Bathite!

Not sure on Youngs at hooker. Not played an awful lot of rugby. Think Whitehead deserved a chance. Wonder what Garvey has to do to deserve a chance? Palmer has been poor this year for club and country. Good to see Tom Johnson in.

Would have liked to see Rob Miller ahead of Goode at FB and maybe Burns in over Hodgson but thats not anything major.

Prop, I reckon you'd do well with a classy number 9 added in

I swear he was in it, or did I read that article wrong - oh well!

I would've preferred Whitehead, think the ground in SA would've suited his open play a lot. Again prefer Garvey, and Miller. One omission I'm kind of surprised at is Sharples. Did he really play his debut that badly? Or is Monye really better than him atm?

Sharples is out for surgery

Not convinced with Miller yet, needs another season. Foden, Brown & Goode best choices imo.

Palmer has been awful but experienced.

7 weeks for Hamilton and Paice

Think Palmer is the man to bring on if things are going to kak , calm head on the battle field

Cheeky

What the hell has happened to James Johnston? Gone from being a laughing stock to destroying Ayerza and now Tonga back to back!

Saints miss Hartley massivley, Tonga looked out of sorts this season too.

Isn't JJ the most penalised player in the AP???

Just me watching Wigan vs St Helens?

Yep....lol

Hate not having Sky sports lol

Yep JJ is. Which makes it even more impressive, shows just how s hite he was at the start, because i doubt he's been pinged much for the last 5/6 games at all

Do you want a box? I've got one here, yours for £120 (10months subscription)

Sky subscription?

Every channel aye...It's my box.

I'm upgrading and getting a recordable (£250 though )

I don't have £120 to give you for it mate or else i'd have bit your hand off!

I'm saving up for a jailbroke Apple TV box anyway.

No probs mate, I'd take installments seen as it's you lol. Just not £1 a week!

Hang on i'll do some maths lol

Jusy offered it AP lol

Yours obviously if you want it though, free install too lol

How many cables does it use on the Sky dish?

Could you wait 3 weeks whilst my dad waits for his tax back?

Just one cable mate. I still use my sky + too and just put another run in.

Yea I'm in no rush fella

I'll have it fella , soon as my dad gets his tax back i can pay you
