FULL FOREIGNS (Summer transfers)

1st bid - 0900 Monday 04 June

2nd bid - 0900 Monday 02 July

Summer foreigns close - 31 August

ACADEMY INCREASED TO 20

WAITING LIST:
1. HERSH

Prop, unless you have a starter to replace, i think that's wise. Glos are half the side without Wood and most fans reckon the fate of their season rests on him remaining fit!

I'm one of those who thinks that!! Reckon Savage and possibly Clark could break through this season. Some tipping Savage to be skipper soon!!

Agreed on Savage and Clark

Some bias might be creeping in there with the teams??

Can't believe I went for TPN when Best is getting world XV and lions captain shouts!

Nah, only arguable change for my team IMO was Poccock over McCaw but I think overall I'd take Richie

Any feedback on my shortlist of props or 10s?

FHs- Freddie Michalak, Felipe Contepomi, JM Hernandez, Laidlaw, Janties

TH's - Zirakasvili, Kepu......Cooenie more a LH. JdP is a poor TH imo, don't know how he's an Int

FH's - Laidlaw from that list but don't think any massively improve you.

THs - JDP, not normally a fan, but think he's improved a lot. I'd steer clear of Hayman and Ross. Kub, Zirak and Jgenti all beasts in set piece, but maybe not enough at top level, so that leads me to Kepu. Kepu been impressive in last 5/6 Oz games, definitely shored up the scrum. Cooenie is a guy I had my eye on for a while for a possible LH, but seems to have stalled abit with injury and the change to TH.

FH - Michalak the stand out there. Contepomi on last legs, JMH always injured. Jantjies another worth watching out for, but Hodgson is better

TH - Ross is probably the best option left out there IMO. Solid scrummager for Ireland and does do the hard work around the pitch. Another young shout would be for Tamiefieuna(*) got a big future and is a big boy!

FH - Michalak, Laidlaw and JMH best of the list. JMH looks to be coming back into form and could do well in the RC. Also worth mentioning Priestland and maybe Biggar. Others to mention, Barritt and Anscombe

* And Kubs is at Sale

sorry pooly, I'm gona have to jack this in, so busy at work at the moment and my laptop at home has packed in so gives me no time to commit.

reckon iv built a half decent side so hopefully someone can pick up where i left off!

I was expecting it mate, sad to lose you.

Ok so whats the crack...what do i need to do?

Go to New topic at the top and copy this page:

https://www.606v2.com/t20720-london-wasps

Have a scan through the rules.

It's basically just trading players, buying foreign players, naming a team and some tactics on a weekly basis.

We then score each game how we think it would go, own personal opinion on everything and an average of scores is done.

It takes probably 30mins every week at the minimum but as get into it it can be become quite adictive trying to improve your squad.

I'll keep an eye on your transfers for a week or so but the jist is:

1- Star plyers (yours are Mas, Dusatoir) are worth a lot in the game as they are often the difference in tight affairs. You need a good deal to let them go.

2- English players are key as you require 4 English players to start. You have a great English core with Care, Waldroum, Twelvetrees etc so don't let them go cheap. You can always buy more foreign players but it's hard to improve on your English depth.

Enjoy

Not anothe rFalcon??!!

Now do i go to the pub or not?

Waiting on team sheets from:

Gloucester
Sale
Worcester

Don't really see what JJ brings, thought he was very poor against SA. Could be that Tuilagi doesn't pass though!

1. Corbs
2. Hartley
3. Cole
4. Lawes
5. Parling
6. Croft
7. Robshaw
8. Morgan

9. Care (Youngs won't be firing on all cylinders after injury yet)
10. Flood
11. Foden
12. Barrett
13. Tuilagi
14. Foden
15. Brown

Can't just blame the player himself , think it's more so Tuilagi thinks he can just plow through and doesn't need to pass.

Picked Foden twice SJE.

Wouldnt be playing Tuilagi at 12 unless hes playing there for Tigers on a regular basis.
Hes just that good Driver mate Should be Ashton at 14

Lol , i'll remember that when predicting this week.


But then we shouldn't pick Foden on the wing till he plays there regularly for Saints? ;-)

Foden will lose his FB spot if he doesn't pick up his form. Brown & Goode were fantastic in SA

Brown might not been Quins 15 by end of the season Lindsey Hague is meant to be the shizz and then theres Ross Chisholm.

Foden's skillet at wing is far better currently for International play than Manu's at 12. Also, we have, IMO, more talent at 12 than at the wing and that is ready to play for England. Also, Goode and Brown both seemed to be at Foden's level at FB whilst JJ didn't look in the same league as Manu

Brown will be Quins' 15. Chisholm and OLH are great but raw and Brown was the best 15 in the UK last season and maybe best in Europe behind Kearney

Very unimpressed with JJ, all the hype he's got too and he offered little to nothing in 2 games.

Barritt/Tuilagi for me

Touche Driver
Foden was immense for Saints back end of the last season. Kick the ball to him at FB as much as the Saffa's did he would look just as good I'd say somehow

He wasn't that great, he was one of the few Saints players to get comprehensively outplayed in the AP semifinal. He is class though and I'd rotate him and Brown at FB depending on the conditions

I don't think he was Johnny. Foden has no B game, he either runs straight or he runs straight a bit faster. Very strong defender though.

It's good that we're debating this rather than have zero quality depth which has been the case in the past

I'd say thats what Brown does as well though. Agree though its great we have 3 (4 if you include Delon) fullbacks all of whom have shown they can do a good job internationally. The academy system has really started to work over the last few years. Plenty of youngsters to be excited about at every club these days

Nah, Brown more likely to kick it back than Foden is. Mostly about attacking through the line not counters

Foden does run some pretty decent lines. His finish in the first test was class.

Sounds ideal for a winger

Bumped into Pooly in a nightclub tonight to find we are dressed the same

God I feel old hahahahaa

God i'm dog ruff today , hate to think how Pooly is as he was a bit more drunk than me....


Anyway i'm after a back up 10 or starting 10 if the offer is good enough.

I was out on a friend's birthday pub crawl, Olympics based. Hurting so much

I feel like death. Got in at 5, no idea how. Pee'd all over bedroom floor

What club you guy out at?

I saw Pooly in Fever? It's like a 70s/80s bar full of People in there 40s and above it's not really that good.

I remember you giving me a bottle of bulmers and I was mixing it with my Newcastle brown. I Peed in our blue box in the front garden because I couldn't be arsed to unlock the door and walk up the stairs.

Where did you go CJ? Just round London?

Pub crawl down North End Road

Sounds fun , i'd recommend Hartlepool as a one off if you ever fancy Hartlepool.

Yeah it was fun. Seeing an entire pub go mental as Ennis won the Heptathlon is probably my new favourite sporting memory now!
