I would have preferred Spencer or Robson tbh. Wiggles has one of the best box kicks in the NH though, could be handy against the Irish.

by pullthestrings Mon 05 Feb 2018, 4:57 pm

I'll get mine in now, sorry for delay

by ChequeredJersey Mon 05 Feb 2018, 5:01 pm

The future can wait till we play France/Scotland or we tour. Wriggles is a solid good choice and in good form

by pullthestrings Tue 06 Feb 2018, 2:37 pm

Seems a bit quiet on here again.... anyone around for a deal? We need more managers!

I can loan you a loose head but they won’t be a great one

Alex Lundberg?

by ChequeredJersey Wed 07 Feb 2018, 5:57 pm

My player on offer would be Cameron Holenstein so take your pick!

Team to play Wales:

15 Mike Brown (Harlequins 65 caps), 14 Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby 29 caps), 13 Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby 36 caps), 12 Owen Farrell (Saracens 54 caps), 11 Jonny May (Leicester Tigers 30 caps), 10 George Ford (Leicester Tigers 41 caps), 9 Danny Care (Harlequins 77 caps), 1 Mako Vunipola (Saracens 45 caps), 2 Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints 90 caps), 3 Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers 78 caps), 4 Joe Launchbury (Wasps 48 caps), 5 Maro Itoje (Saracens 15 caps), 6 Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints 62 caps), 7 Chris Robshaw (Harlequins 60 caps), 8 Sam Simmonds (Exeter Chiefs 4 caps).

Finishers
16 Jamie George (Saracens 21 caps), 17 Alec Hepburn (Exeter Chiefs 1 cap), 18 Harry Williams (Exeter Chiefs 6 caps), 19 George Kruis (Saracens 22 caps), 20 Sam Underhill (Bath Rugby 4 caps), 21 Richard Wigglesworth (Saracens 27 caps), 22 Ben Te’o (Worcester Warriors 9 caps), 23 Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs 24 caps).

Not a surprise really to see Care and JJ start.
I like how the RFU lists the subs as 'finishers' now laughing

by BamBam Thu 08 Feb 2018, 2:49 pm

Lundberg is fine, thanks pull

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Feb 2018, 3:38 pm

You get banned Bam?

by BamBam Thu 08 Feb 2018, 3:45 pm

Not that I know of ... why?!

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Feb 2018, 3:47 pm

Just seen Mikey blabbing on. We've all been there lol...I've had a few run ins with Glawd

by BamBam Thu 08 Feb 2018, 3:50 pm

Oh the wifi thing

Basically, I called out the Welsh posters for disappearing off the forum for a while when they lose a game.

Mikey assumed that as I hadn't been online between 5pm Saturday and 9am Monday, I had done a disappearing act as Wales had beaten Scotland

Laugh

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Feb 2018, 3:59 pm

Jesus man...that bunch are the worst on here.

Guns, Mikey, Gwlad....

by Fluxy Thu 08 Feb 2018, 4:24 pm

Guilty by association!

by BamBam Thu 08 Feb 2018, 4:24 pm

I personally enjoy winding up Dowlais more than is healthy Laugh

by Fluxy Thu 08 Feb 2018, 4:30 pm

You might have a problem mate... Whistle

by prop_lyd Thu 08 Feb 2018, 6:15 pm

First time on here in a while....will be honest working full time and completing final year of masters has taken it's toll so this league kind of went to bottom of my list. Currently experiencing the joys of dissertation so have been avoiding distractions too.

Although it appears Gloucester have actually been a lot better without me around to do anything with them anyway! Not sure how much I will be on to do predos and get team in so may need some nudges or people to chuck a team in for me if that's alright?

Also, from reading about Bam enjoying winding up the welsh I may disappear until the end of May if we lose Saturday!

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Feb 2018, 6:38 pm

Haha....sure we can look after you Prop, good luck with the studies.

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 09 Feb 2018, 8:49 am

I'm up for some dealing

by prop_lyd Sat 10 Feb 2018, 10:23 pm

Congrats you horrible lot. To be fair the losing team deserved lbp and winning team didn't deserve try bonus. Few silly errors from us especially kicking so much when we were dangerous in attack.

Underhill's tackle was quality. Yes we could complain about the try no try but hey ho live and learn. Moriarty was solid in defence and tips made a great impact. Felt Wales stood up to all of Jones' verbal before the game. Adams looked lost today which was a shame. Maybe should have brought North on earlier.

Robshaw was outstanding for you guys. Brown really needs a clip at some point. Too much gob for me.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 11 Feb 2018, 4:08 am

Not a great game attacking wise but a real arm wrestle.

I thought it was pretty much a half each and much closer than what I thought it would be. Navidi looked strong, it was an overall pretty good display from Wales.

England, still not giving an 80min game but coming away with the win. Brown was great, I love his attitude to be honest Prop, he's so niggly. Launchbury keeps on getting better and better and Farrell was superb!

It's certainly looking like an England or Ireland championship at this stage.

by pullthestrings Sun 11 Feb 2018, 3:05 pm

Anyone watch the Wasps Quins game? Willis looks some player (even if I say so myself)... might have to give him some more starts in the coming weeks!

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 11 Feb 2018, 3:30 pm

Cracking prospect Pull, some unit too. I did try and tell you Wink

Teddy Thomas on fire for France, I might transfer him in from my old side.

by pullthestrings Sun 11 Feb 2018, 3:41 pm

I know you did! Cheers!

Any thoughts on a potential deal?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 11 Feb 2018, 3:47 pm

Take it as payment for all the times I did you over in deals Wink

I'll have a look later, just off out for dinner.

This was a good little watch this morning - https://www.rugbypass.com/news/video-footage-englands-live-scrummagiung-session-georgia

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 14 Feb 2018, 9:55 am

Good viewing. Hard to see what exactly is going on due to the angles but it looks like we're struggling at the beginning and them pushed them back a bit at the end.

by Fluxy Wed 14 Feb 2018, 10:00 am

Pretty much, although interesting to see Haskell, Robshaw, and Hughes in most back row shots.

by ChequeredJersey Mon 19 Feb 2018, 5:54 pm

I am looking for some more cover at backrow

by Fluxy Mon 19 Feb 2018, 9:02 pm

Got a few options if you need one?

Me too. Looking to strengthen front row

I'm off on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow so will only have phone and sporadic internet access. Could you stick the same side in for if possible Flux thumbsup

Can do mate

by Fluxy Fri 23 Feb 2018, 11:42 am

Great to see Super rugby back! Did anyone see the Blues try? Shocked

by Fluxy Fri 23 Feb 2018, 1:30 pm

In need of an Irish and a Saints side please lads

by prop_lyd Fri 23 Feb 2018, 4:11 pm

Blues canes was quality!! Good viewing for the gym.

by Fluxy Fri 23 Feb 2018, 4:30 pm

Looking forward to Crusaders tomorrow morning

by Fluxy Mon 26 Feb 2018, 12:44 pm

So, that was a great weekend to be an English supporter... Sad

Are we just papering over the cracks, or just a blip?

I do believe we were outclassed at the breakdown, and didn't have much invention in the midfield. Don't think they are silver bullet answers, but Underhill and Slade coming in would make a difference to both aspects straight away imo.

by ChequeredJersey Mon 26 Feb 2018, 11:27 pm

We need a balanced backrow, no more locks at 6. Care as a finisher, not as a starter

by Fluxy Tue 27 Feb 2018, 9:54 am

Agree with you mate.

We needed to take a look at Robson/or another SH in this time that Youngs is injured. Almost every other side has tried a new option in the case of injury.
I know that is quite a way from the conservative thinking that Jones has been doing, seeing as why would we change what we are doing when we are winning!

by Fluxy Tue 27 Feb 2018, 4:02 pm

Only got two sets of predictions, please get them in gents

by ChequeredJersey Tue 27 Feb 2018, 7:20 pm

My spare time is being racked up with wedding prep so only doing scores for a few weeks

by Fluxy Wed 28 Feb 2018, 3:26 pm

Mike Haley to Munster, not sure I see the benefit of that one?0

He's not bound to England, as South Africa A aren't their second team, and he is Irish Qualified on his mum's side.

He's gonna try for Ireland and try to start where JOC is keeping him out, and Munster get a good Irish Qualified player and can move Zebo to the wing

by BamBam Fri 02 Mar 2018, 1:08 pm

Sorry lads, but going to have to drop out of this. Been losing interest since the reset, and just haven't got the time any more

I'll still be reading the boards so will pop in here and there!

by Fluxy Sat 03 Mar 2018, 1:17 pm

Sad to see you go mate!

Lads, it looks like it is becoming harder and harder to keep this going at the moment. I know Prop and CJ struggle at the minute as well. I would love to continue, however, with no new managers coming in to at least fill up the rest of the sides, I feel like we are on a hiding to nothing at the moment.
Happy to create a different league, for those that are still interested in a rugby league. Any ideas welcome.

Cheers guys rose
