hehe common picks there in Sharpe and Pocock
Genia was good value... as was AAC.. Other thing ive noticed with fantasy rugby is that if you can get two 5/8ths then that is better than having a 10/12 combo..
ideally id have Carter/Giteau but im not paying $10 for gits !![]()

Am so overwhelmed by how exciting work is this morning, I signed up for this years league instead.
Team selections so far have involved very little thought beyond fitting in the budget and are subject to extreme makeover when suitably motivated.
