HTPP-SPPR v2 As I'm selecting all the teams for this edition, at least thus far, how's about another opportunity to speculate as to who the better players are?
Enjoyed this in the past. Looking forward to it. As for the best: Prop: Read Hooker: Delonge Locks: Davis Flanker: Howe #8: Deane Fly-half: Cribb Scrum-half: Hunt Wing: James Centre: Ames Fullback: Furball I'm probably full of shit/misremembering who was good though
Morgie's list looks pretty solid, I'd have the same backs as him. Maybe there's some more Crabs in the pack (was thinking Gbagbo particularly, not sure on props), potentially I'm competitive with Deane depending on activity relevance?
Yeah was close between you and Deane in particular. Could pick sledger over AVA, yeah. Hooker was the position I was least certain about. Benny at this point is close to the best forward in the game though.
Yeah I was a gun at some point but I think I've been shunting it for a season now from what I recall. Can't exactly remember though.
Sledger can’t throw for shit at line outs. That’s a real problem for him. I’d probably still take Delonge or maybe even O’Neill.
Can't disagree with the forward selections. Callum used to be the best flanker in the sim but he's not even playing firsts any more. There are a lot of good 8s and relatively few really consistent flankers, so I'm probably as good as anyone. Cribb and Hunt are the wrong way around. Ames is a 10/12 but will play 12 this year so that's probably fair enough - the Faz of the sim. James probably the most consistent wing but I remember Schaw being unstoppable when the mood took him. Don't agree with Furball, Blunder probably still has the edge there.
Yeah looking at the stats Escath is very close to Tart's level. Blunder and Furball are very close but Blunder won't play fullback this season so.....
I feel like there was plenty of solid flankers but none stood out other than Callum who fell off a lot.
