I’m torn between knocking the convict teams out of the comp and disrupting Rennie’s plans for a long camp
Let us know what you decide to do.

@Machpants Not sure if people are into Fantasy Rugby, but thought I'd post it anyway.
Fantasy Rugby XV doesn't mean form XV.

It’s only this format this year isn’t it?
I reckon it’s fair enough this season given the uncertainties and disruption with Covid.
Just think of the quarters as a final round.
Top four should still be the semi finalistsAgree on the Top 3. Quietly confident that the Hurricanes will tip over the Brumbies.
I love the optimism. What is our win loss record in Canberra?
Yes, Love the foolish optimism - even the year Canes won their only title (2016) they lost 56-10 to the Brumbies in Canberra, at Westpac the same season they won 29-8.
It's in Canberra (cold temps & rain predicted) while Brumbies will be motivated to send McKellar out on a high and avenge their poor last 3 matches.
Canes won't win - the Highlanders have a better likelyhood of upsetting the Blues the chances are so remote.

They should all run out in skins and gloves. Try something new to combat the terrible conditions

@Dice did Savea even play 6 much?
All three loosies are no 8’s. It looks like they only have a category for ‘back row’ rather than each position
I don’t play fantasy rugby but I assume the points system rewards carry metres well? -

OK no idea what that is apart from some, not all, very random picks!

Fantasy tends to reward attacking stats more.

yeah, i used to play one of those, and you don't pick a rugby team, you pick guys who will rack up stats. Aussie locks were gold because they ran in wide channels a lot.

@mariner4life players that don't pass are gold too - all hail Masaga!

Elliott Smith suggests in this pay-walled article that the Highlanders should go after Damian McKenzie, which isn't a strange idea, considering he's from Gore and the Landers do indeed need someone like him.
Also a good reminder in this article that the Blues were chasing Jordie Barrett before and could go after him again, because his contract expires this year.
Elliott Smith: The one player who can save the Highlanders
Opinion: One man can transform the Highlanders from pretenders to contenders.

He'd be a good option for the bench

@Duluth I think it would be his brother ending up on the bench.
Perofeta to 10, Jordie to fullback. BB wearing 22. Zarn Sullivan to the Canes and Magpies. Perfect solution.Sullivan to the Magpies and any other franchise is my preference.
