lol thats why i though it safe to choose Mike Catt . . . I wasn't allowed Healey at scrum half for some unknown reason Bathite so he's still available if you can get him ! lol

Other Props open now.

Steven your first.

Gethin Jenkins

Ondarts was an animal, hard as nails.

Lacked control sometimes though. I'm sure he got sent off against England???

bear - I have gone for Mike Catt at center

mind you in those days it took some to get sent off, it must have been for something pretty bad - if you ever head to Biarritz go to bar Carritz which is his, by the small beach - it's great, especially on match day . .

So we need a prop from prop then.

It's putting the kids to bed time for me, so won't be back on to do my pick for the next hour or so.

Think Mike Catt is acceptable as a centre.

My centre.

Aaron Mauger!

Pullthestrings - Winger, Scrum-Half
Prop - Prop
Inthefastlane - Hooker

Michael FOley

hmmm was going to go for Mauger - good choice, he was cut short with much more to give . . .

Ouch is all I can say to that class!!

Ok with prop I was torn between 2 but, simply because my old man said that he was one of the hardest players he played and he still talks to him if they bump into one another: Gareth Chilcott!! Plus he'll organise the tours!!

cooooooooooochie

Another one of my list! Chilcott, what a legend. Him and graham dawe

Pullthestrings
LDCPete
Driver

Your picks now nearly all done fingers crossed we can be done by tonight, and move onto the free picks tonight and tomorrow.

Can anybody bbm driver whatever you call that device if they have him?

Thanks

Got st johns training now, although I doubt it'll get round to my wild cards today!! Definately know my 1st one anyways....s long as Steve doesn't take him again!!

Am struggling with who to go for as replacement prop. names on my list are...

Robert Paparemborde
David Sole
Dai Young
Peter Clohessy
Greg Somerville
Victor Ubogu
Patricio Noriega


Anyone???

can't help mate as I have two of those on my list so it would be wrong of me to do so

all I can say is they are all pretty good choices with at least all of them being better than Victor

Sole or chlossey for me personally
