WRL Season 5 - Homepage

Keep up Pooly, we said this last week. And his last game is for the baa-baas

Wish i knew about this! Second awful second row signing in as many seasons...what a waste of £30m. Thanks for mentioning it when I made the bids lads! Pooly....you're not even playing, would have killed you to mention it?!

Ba's isn't competitive, there no caps etc. Hes already quit club rugby, sorry Bathite. Just having same discussion on AP game.

Doesn't help me though does it! Just annoyed that no one warned me, would like to think i would do the same if someone else was unaware.

I thought he was playing S15 this year and just retiring from international. Imagine Pete on the AP game thought the same when he signed him recently. Still the best line out operator in the world till the Baa Baas game IMO.

I'll predo in the morn if theyre still open.

Yeah, morning is fine, will prob post results at 10

Does that make Nick Kennedy the next best lineout operator...

"Does that make Nick Kennedy the next best lineout operator..."

He's not even the best at Irish anymore, been dire this season.

FINAL RESULTS

Biarritz 18 - 25 Crusaders
Crusaders have too much here, the miracolous recovery of Carter proving vital away from home

Sharks 21 - 20 Tigers
An unbelievably tight game, but the on form Welsh boys squeeze the team from Natal home

Toulouse 22 - 22 Hurricanes
Nothing to seperate these two teams, who both have world class stars on show, Toulouse big up front, Wellington big out back!

Waratahs 19 - 24 Northampton
Saints big signings made the difference here in probably the biggest upset so far

Have £13m don't I pull cos of predo money?

I've added that mate

Should I go for 2nd row or 13 to improve first?!

Morning all!

Prop - Row for me, Jacobs isn't that bad

Same Prop, you've a decent back line there.

Knockout cup page up shortly...

Cheers guys!! Got my bid in then!

I should be able to get the team in, will try later today. It's no injuries yeah?

Done both my chores, like a good teachers pet!

Knockout QFs are in play:

Steven
Fluxy
Luke
ITFL

All need to predict

Fluxy and Steven left for predictions for Knock Out Cup. Everyone except Driver needs Week 3 predictions!

Cheers

Anyone up for a deal?

Can't wait for the 1st - need some dosh!

Agreed! Maybe an outside bid after predictions? Bit quiet on here, think thats because the starting squad quality is so much higher this season. I'm going to try and wheel and deal once I get 1/2 more players in.

12

7 deffo

Dowsen doesn't even start for Saints these days

Def 7, Dowson is having a poor season. Downey is solid if unspectacular

Havn't seen the Saints play in HC, who has been playing 7? Is Wood there?

Clark

Surely its Clark at 6, Wood at 7. Like Clark, but doesn't have the mobility for OS

Clark has been playing 6 and Wood 7

He does mate. Played at 8 quite a bit recently.

I thought it was mostly:

6 Clark
7 Wood
8 Wilson

With Dowson covering the whole back row

Am pretty sure he has started most AP games, generally at 8.

Until Wood returned and I think Wilson was carrying a knock?!?!

Ah right. People still rate Juan Smith right, I think he's due back soon.

I heard Smith was retiring after the baa baas!

Wondered what the general thoughts on Parra at 10 were? Would people rate him there and what about Weepu at 10? Looks like he will be playing there for the Blues, outside Mathewson and inside Nonu

Smith is back in training and will be good to go for the start of the S15. Best BS about when fit by some distance imo, although kaino is off the back of a great year.

Kaino been top man for a long long time now, have Dusatoir right up there as well, so consistent, does he ever have a bad game? Guess that his status as a 6.5 puts him down a touch

Smith is better than Kaino by a fair bit when fit for me but it's all opinions. Never been overly fussed on Dusatoir, he's pretty steady and was outstanding in the WC final but I'd always have a few ahead of him.

Dus, for me, is in the top 3 in the world at 6 and 7!

Can I get a few more predictions on the KC game, and any that are outstanding for the league
