Just two changes this week. I know Sonny Boy is over-priced and over-hyped, and that the smart person would buy Robbie Fruean - the man who will benefit most from all this genius - but what can I say? I'm a sucker for a big dream, so here's hoping Sonny Boy delivers.

I did buy Peter Grant though, because I think he is going to be a monster points machine once more. He looked fantastic when he came on last week, and I can see him easily averaging around 400pts...that's my prediction - you read it hear first.

Come on "Saders! Crush those Waratahs... they are getting uppity and have always been a nemesis team for the Sharks.

  1. Interesting Team. Nicely balanced. A few good scorers and a few risky choices. I would have waited 1 week on Grant though. I can't wait for Drew Mitchell to be affordable again.

  2. Johan, just wait a week and Drew Mitchell's Waratahs have the bye and his price will drop. Yeah a big call to go for Grant. I think the Stormers vs Cheetahs will be a tight one without heaps of tries. I also think that the Waratahs defence may be good enough to contain Sonny Bill Williams this week. It is hard to know if his style will suit www.testrugby.com I am going for goalkickers and hoping the Kurtley Beale, Matt Giteau and James O'Connor do well as goalkicking non halves.

  3. Scotty, it seems like SBW is a points machine in testrugby. hehe. I just wonder who I must drop, Gitau or O'Connor. Both normally high scorers. Now with Fruean working off SBW, there are 4 great point scorers all in the same position. Looking forward to seeing what happens in the rest of the games.
