I think Sasue lost interest - hnce his low point core. Maybe the poor guy was workingtoo hard and forgot waht really isimprotant in life.
I think Super 15 Fantasy next year would be super-interesting and am already looking forward to it.
Players that would be affordable next year and to watch out for will be the following:-
Props - Thomas du Toit of the Sharks - this guy is going places. The other props will eb expensive bar perhaps Malherbe and Marcell van der Merwe. Have not watched ITM regularly -there may be some "jewels" coming through in New Zealand.
Hookers - Watch out for a guy van der Merwe of the Lions - he is very active and runs like a 100 meter athlete - but very strongly-built/Chubby.
Locks - Pieter-Steph du Toit
Loosies - Labuschagne may be back to a decent price - he will be playing for the Bulls next year. Kriel is one to watch out for from the Lions
Scrummies - My cheap picks would be Bryn Hall and little Faf de Klerk.
Flyhalfs - Pollard - I hope he is not too expensive by then
Centers - Stokkies Hanekom of the Lions, Andre Esterhuizen of the Sharks
Wings - Senatla and Van Wyk of the Stormers.
I am not familiar with the Cheap players from New Zeealand - so some suggestions would be welcome.
I think bankers for next year should be the following:-
OB - Folau, Ben Smith, Julian SaveaCE - FekitoaFH - PollardBR - Read, Vermeulen, CoetzeeHO - Moore/StraussPR - Slipper
The above would set everyone back financially - so th cheap players will have to be carefully chosen. I normally try to save on the props and the locks - and scrummies are ightmare selections. The pop up -but are never regular point scorers.
Any suggestions from your side?

Far be it for me to be critical but the performan ce of warped DUD, JW and saSUE is very disappointing. I blame myself of course as my education programme has not borne the desired fruit.I see even the hapless rooitwit at 11 is higher than these guys!!ou brycy makes a surprising 9 so I will not despair - far too much of that around in any case re the kbbs!

Thanks for the info - it would be of great help at the tart of the season especially.
We will have to wait and see how the various squads are determined. and then there is the pesty issue of the budget.
As to the players concerned - I think you have a really good selection above.
* Would hate to see Nodolo on the bench - but who should he replace in tehstarting line-up?
* Fekitoa and De Allende were the top point scoring centers this year in Super 15 and it is likely that they would carry that through to next year.
* Scrummies - I would prefer Reinach as the bench scrummie
* Retallick is going to be super-expensive - so what next?

....not so clever mike , was just looking at the RC Herald Dream Team Comp and of 488 leagues we finished third somehow... good effort mate - even though you finished bottom of the league it all helped...Black Power went along way towards winning the prize money finishing ninth overall...

I think Sasuke San & I both lost interest after the second or third round. I changed my team for the last round so beat Sasuke San, lol
The s15 comp is much more interesting as there are more players. In the RC comp we are all fishing in a very small pool of players so it is hardly worth the effort. Still some posters did really well & we all faced the same conditions so congrats to them.
Beeno: please educate by doing, i.e. next year sign up & show us all how it is done

... registered negative points for players like Habana and Le Roux in the Fox Comp which was a big surprise...De Villiers also disappointed early on but lucky managed to swap him for Kuridrani after he was introduced by Ewen McDopey,better late than never...so managed to go from last to ninth after jettisoning all the useless yarpies...Vermulen was fairly consistent, Pollard was a mixed bag but finished strong...

Wonder how many people partoicipated in the Fox[prt f antasy league - guess it must be about 5000+ - in Super 25 there wereover 16 000 paticipants. Most of our players were in the top 300 of the competition - that I think is very good.
09 Oct 2014, 11:04#16
Yeah my final rank was 167. So i think we all did pretty well, although i scored 400 in the final round. Still cld of done better, hence my drop in placings but still good.
