What happens with this? Is it a retirement?

by BamBam Wed 03 Jan 2018, 12:49 pm

Yeah assume just a retirement, similar to if a player left for rugby league

Cracking win for Falcons!

Billy V got 70mins under his belt too....nicely in time for the 6N.

by Steven_Sharks Sun 07 Jan 2018, 6:46 pm

Anyone see Marler's red? I think he might have been unlucky.

Round 7, get your waterproofs out!

by stnick88 Mon 08 Jan 2018, 9:20 am

pooly, after seeing Falcons play so well, it made me realise that a LBP against you last week wasn't so bad after all!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 08 Jan 2018, 10:03 am

We only seem to attack for 1 half though then defend the lead, need to address that.

It was a good game yesterday, Sinoti's try was fantastic, I have no idea which way he's going to run.

by stnick88 Mon 08 Jan 2018, 10:43 am

yeh he is some player. lewington did a similar finish against Tigers, going to miss him when he goes to Sarries! will be a hell of a player for them with the ball he will get.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 08 Jan 2018, 10:54 am

I'd heard Lewington to Sarries had fell through Nick??

by stnick88 Mon 08 Jan 2018, 11:54 am

yeh I am trying to find out more detail about it now.
TRP also says Cokanasiga to Bath if irish get relegated but not sure there is truth in that.

by pullthestrings Mon 08 Jan 2018, 12:23 pm

Bath aka London Irish West Rolling Eyes

by stnick88 Mon 08 Jan 2018, 1:27 pm

wish they would learn to develop their own players instead of poaching ours!
we have got 5 players in the england u20 squad, no doubt bath are already eyeing them up.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 08 Jan 2018, 1:28 pm

They really do hammer you boys.

by stnick88 Mon 08 Jan 2018, 2:00 pm

you have had your fair share of talent taken away as well, although now you are on the up that should stop a bit.

by Fluxy Mon 08 Jan 2018, 3:55 pm

Good Falcons win at the weekend!

Sorry lads, a little busier than expected, will try and organise now.

Pooly thank you for doing the thread this week!

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 09 Jan 2018, 7:41 am

No problem thumbsup

by ChequeredJersey Tue 09 Jan 2018, 8:56 am

Thanks for all your hard work Fluxy and Pooly (and others). I don’t know how you guys can manage this as well as your jobs/lives!

by BamBam Wed 10 Jan 2018, 9:31 am

Thoughts on my backline? Currently not sure how best to fit all the players I want to in!

9. Perenara
10. Cruden
11. Cokanasiga
12. Jordie Barrett
13. Williams/Mulchrone
14. Yarde
15. Larmour

Not sure how best to use Jordie really - he came through as a 12 in the U20s, but obviously been playing full back a lot prior to injury ..

by Fluxy Wed 10 Jan 2018, 10:57 am

I much prefer Jordie as a back three player at the moment. But needs must really if you can have him at 12.
Your wings are decent, but for me can be got at positionally. Which is why I think, I would prefer to have Jordie at 15, with one of Yarde and Big Joe on one wing and maybe Larmour on another.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 10 Jan 2018, 11:08 am

I'd probably agree with Flux but it does leave your centres lacking a bit of quality. Williams/Mulchrone/Fowlie have been pretty poor in defence most of the season so need something in there to toughen them up.

by BamBam Wed 10 Jan 2018, 11:18 am

Yeah centre is my next area of focus tbh, been working on the pack mainly

Apparently Jordie might be playing centre for the Hurricanes this season once fit, which will help

BamBam wrote:Yeah centre is my next area of focus tbh, been working on the pack mainly

I know he can play, but I just see you getting a better impact from fullback from him. As he offers and can create a little more from there, at the moment..

by ChequeredJersey Wed 10 Jan 2018, 1:09 pm

Not sure about Larmour at wing to be honest, think he’s mostly played 15 and excelled. I don’t mind JB at 12 (he does play a bit there) but think ideally him At 15 and Lamour as the game breaker off the bench would work. Some good 12s around, it’s about the only position produce top class players for example, and Ireland have a few there

by BamBam Wed 10 Jan 2018, 1:13 pm

Thanks guys, will take it on board!

My thinking is that Jordie's skillset is such a good fit in the centre, with so many potential full back options for NZ in the lead up to the RWC, he'll end up as the only true "2nd 5/8th" type of 12 option that they have, the likes of Williams / Leinert Brown/ Crotty/ Laumape all being very different

by ChequeredJersey Wed 10 Jan 2018, 1:19 pm

If you’re in a rush, Bristol have some good centres...

by ChequeredJersey Wed 10 Jan 2018, 1:21 pm

Siale, Leiua, Pisi, arguably Madigan...

by ChequeredJersey Wed 10 Jan 2018, 3:15 pm

When’s the next Foreign, Fluxy?

by Fluxy Wed 10 Jan 2018, 3:47 pm

As a rough approximation, around Easter time.

by ChequeredJersey Wed 10 Jan 2018, 3:54 pm

by Fluxy Wed 10 Jan 2018, 3:56 pm

Will most likely have a slight condition on it, like the recent window. Suggestions on the back of a postcard to...

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 10 Jan 2018, 4:33 pm

Few ideas....

1. Not from one of the top 3-5 sides
2. Under 25
3. Over 30
4. Less than 20 caps
5. Hasn't played Int rugby for more than a year

by BamBam Wed 10 Jan 2018, 4:43 pm

Non 6N/RC players

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 10 Jan 2018, 5:21 pm

Thinking about it....over a certain age would be good. Would make us go for players that we wouldn't normally but they'll be top class.

by CJB Wed 10 Jan 2018, 6:38 pm

I do like that idea. Had a few older players I fancied in the window but did not feel like they would be good value for money.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 11 Jan 2018, 10:10 am

I was just thinking about some of the sides from old in the game on the BBC site and how some of the players carried huge weight in the game when they were at their peak. The is purely from a personal perspective obviously, these players would have a big impact on predictions for me.....one or two of my own.

1. Fabien Barcella
2. Bismark du Plessis
3. Carl Hayman
4. Bakkies Botha
5. Victor Matfield
6. Rocky Elsom
7. Heinrich Brussow (McCaw too obvious!)
8. I. Harinodoquy

9. F Du Preez
10. Jonny Wilkinson (Carter too obvious)
11. Joe Rokocoko
12. Yannick Jauzion
13. Jaque Fourie
14. Tommy Bowe
15. Rob Kearney

Any of you have any different? Rocky Elsom was a real throw back, I'd totally forgot about him.

by BamBam Thu 11 Jan 2018, 10:12 am

More or less a World XV from 2005-2009 or so, can't have any complaints

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 11 Jan 2018, 10:21 am

First deal when I joined was losing Hayman for Euan Murray plus 5m Sad

by BamBam Thu 11 Jan 2018, 10:26 am

Ha, who was that to!

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 11 Jan 2018, 10:27 am

Bloody Chris

by Fluxy Thu 11 Jan 2018, 10:30 am

I remember the Killer B's being at the time being a quite a game changer for someone's team!

The others I could think of, off the top of my head: Shane Williams, Clerc, POC, Servat, Castro, Domingo!
