Watson getting a go at FB is good to see even if it is under unfortunate circumstances

Bench looks good, Itoje/George coming on will be serious impact in the last 30 mins

Really looking forward to seeing how Underhill goes against Hooper, I fancy Robshaw to pull off his usual masterclass against the Aussies too

by Driver Fri Nov 17, 2017 12:50 am

Tom Croft retires on medical grounds

40 England caps and 2 Lions tours, 4 Premiership titles.

Not a bad career.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Nov 19, 2017 6:41 pm

So......Brussow to Saints, Shields to Wasps.

by ChequeredJersey Mon Nov 20, 2017 11:48 am

Shields also wants to play for England!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Nov 20, 2017 2:55 pm

Sounds good to me, he's a cracking player. Finally a step up on Robshaw Run

by ChequeredJersey Mon Nov 20, 2017 6:39 pm

He is nearly as good as Robshaw, to be fair

by Fluxy Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:04 pm

Not sure on Shields, if he was that good, he would already be in contention for an AB shirt, or already an AB!
We aren't in the situation where for example, someone like Waldrom came over and could walk into the set up.

Don;t get me wrong Shields is a good player, but I would much rather see him playing in the AP for a season, before throwing his name in the ring for selection.

In other news, keep the predictions coming in, due by midday. I will get the next thread up and catch up with any bids.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:15 pm

I'm not sure how Shields has missed the AB boat tbh. He's been on the fringes for years and has had a few great seasons in Super rugby.

If you flip it around, would Robshaw have an All Black cap - no. Would Robshaw be selected by any other tier Int nation - possibly not.

by prop_lyd Mon Nov 20, 2017 11:21 pm

Sorry will struggle with predicitons till this evening.

by Fluxy Mon Nov 20, 2017 11:25 pm

Already done them mate, so no worry!

by Fluxy Tue Nov 21, 2017 12:11 am

We should be all up to date!

I propose that the foriegns stay open until 9am next Monday, all in favour, say 'I'?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Nov 21, 2017 12:23 am

Good work

Just an idea....is it worth leaving them open for the season? As people accumulate cash, they can bid. Keeps the interest in predicting up and cash stays relevant.

by Fluxy Tue Nov 21, 2017 12:33 am

That is another proposal, let's see what everyone else thinks on the matter.

by BamBam Tue Nov 21, 2017 2:03 am

I'd keep it to windows, but have more of them

by Fluxy Tue Nov 21, 2017 2:38 am

BamBam wrote:I'd keep it to windows, but have more of them

Kind of like that idea. Could have a think, and do the odd window, where you can only sign a particular player in that time period (eg Southern Hemisphere uncapped player / a TOP14 player / a Tier 2 European player)

In the style of FIFA and their Squad Building Challenges, there would be a special going on, with some opportunity to raise some funds as well in that time frame, to help sign a player.

Thoughts?

by BamBam Tue Nov 21, 2017 2:55 am

I'd be ok with that

Pro14
Top 14
Super Rugby
U20

That could be your categories

Gives a mini window every few weeks for people to sign a player if they choose

by Fluxy Tue Nov 21, 2017 3:04 am

Will have a thunk on it and try and build it into the season, with a full window at some point in the new year.

Everyone happy with that premise?

Well, you know I disagree with you on this. The only nations that wouldn't select robshaw imo are maybe NZ (but right now they would) and Wales because Gatland

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Nov 21, 2017 5:52 am

No way would Robshaw be an AB CJ, just don't see that at all. There's about 10 better flankers in NZ.

From the home nation's I'd take Moriarty, Warbs, Tips, POM, Watson, Stander, SOB, Barclay above Robshaw personally.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Nov 21, 2017 6:03 am

Probably an unbalanced debate CJ. You're a Quins fan and I don't rate him, we're miles apart.

by ChequeredJersey Tue Nov 21, 2017 6:41 am

No disputing that, and no drama.

I'm not just a Quins fan though, I'm specifically a Robshaw fan. Think you're utterly wrong but you're entitled to your opinion and who am I to say I know better?

by Fluxy Tue Nov 21, 2017 8:17 am

To show would probably get into all of the Six Nations sides and the New Zealand side. May struggle in Argentina and SA. But it does depend on who else you can select

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Nov 21, 2017 4:05 pm

Yea you're right CJ, it's only opinions. He is probably the best we have at the minute, I just think we need better.

I've knocked up a new Tigers page to keep on top of signing etc.

by prop_lyd Thu Nov 23, 2017 4:54 am

North signed a dc and looks like moriarty doing the same. Rumour has it over here they are both heading to dragons now wru own the team.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu Nov 23, 2017 6:14 am

Could finally see a decent Dragons team if they carry on.

by prop_lyd Thu Nov 23, 2017 7:41 am

A lot of money being pumped into them. Been speaking to a guy who is involved in Welsh premiership with links to dragons. Apparently they've signed a few big names and also a Fijian winger from France. Think dragons will be on the up.

by Fluxy Thu Nov 23, 2017 10:19 pm

Very interesting England side!

What was the verdict on the window plans? Just thinking how best to continue to get a squad together

by prop_lyd Sat Nov 25, 2017 7:20 pm

Fair play Ackerman and bell have transformed Gloucester defence. 3 on the bounce!!

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Nov 25, 2017 8:35 pm

We were dire last night, not sure what's going on.

by prop_lyd Sat Nov 25, 2017 10:06 pm

Interesting the difference between how our seasons have gone pooly. You looked much better when flood came on. He took it to our line better than hodgson

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Nov 25, 2017 10:28 pm

We lacked carriers in the pack Prop, we never earned the right to go out wide.

These new rules are a concern imo. Teams aren't committing at the ruck so theres just a wall of defence, we ran out of ideas. A couple of time we got decent turnovers but were pinged, it's a bit confusing.

by prop_lyd Sun Nov 26, 2017 3:23 am

Yeah very much tackle and roll means a big wall of defence.

Scotland mind....even with 14 men that was a hell of a result. Over to Wales now!

Moriarty signed for dragons for 350k turned down dual contract. Been told this by dragons coach.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Nov 26, 2017 4:33 pm

Why would he turn down a dual contract Prop?

Didn't we used to get 3m for detailed predictions?

by pullthestrings Mon Nov 27, 2017 1:58 am

Does anyone have a link for Irish v Wasps?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Nov 27, 2017 2:12 am

Try vip box

It has always been £2m

itz dem rulez, at the top of the page..

by prop_lyd Mon Nov 27, 2017 9:21 pm

Not sure Pooly. I guess so that if he doesn't secure place in Wales squad he can go to France. Not sure how long a contract he's signed.

by Driver Mon Nov 27, 2017 11:35 pm

Technical point Fluxy,

With the Wales game being played outside of the international window and clubs able to stop players playing in it, could i not stop Scott Andrews playing in that game?

by BamBam Mon Nov 27, 2017 11:38 pm

club v country rows on the game, I love it

by Driver Mon Nov 27, 2017 11:40 pm

Me and Warren will settle it! warning

by stnick88 Tue Nov 28, 2017 1:37 am

Gatland has said that clubs have no obligation to release players, so you should be able to keep Andrews this weekend.

by Fluxy Tue Nov 28, 2017 1:39 am

It is still an international and therefore if Andrews or any other players are selected for the game, they would be ineligible for their club.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Nov 28, 2017 4:56 pm

Flux, I've knocked up the Round 3 page and done the weather.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Nov 29, 2017 3:19 am

Keep seeing highlights of Scotland tries against Aus, got to watch this game!

by pullthestrings Wed Nov 29, 2017 11:56 pm

What's the craic with Leicester? Is 7.5 definitely not keen, he's very active on the other forums still!

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Nov 29, 2017 11:59 pm

He's never posted on here really. I can just run with them until we get somebody else.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu Nov 30, 2017 5:31 pm

Still no team from Bam.

by Fluxy Thu Nov 30, 2017 7:42 pm

He was on yesterday, probably just forgot

by BamBam Thu Nov 30, 2017 8:44 pm

Its there! https://www.606v2.com/t66847-aviva-premiership-round-3-ai-s#3648720
