Okay, so you can start selecting your team on the ESPN website now, but there's two problems. 1. Very me specific, but I can't pick Laidlaw as a 10 and Farrell at 12. At the end of the day that's fine, it's my fault and I'm willing to cop having no points from one of my centres as a result. 2. These are the only things you get points for. Now that's fine, but as far as I'm concerned it massively devalues forwards. I propose we come up with our own system, based on stats that we can access that takes things like lineouts and scrums into consideration.
I've already done this. Got a spreadsheet and everything. It's colour coded and nifty as fuck. Combine the County Cricket selector game I did once with Seasonsl Rugby match points and you're there.
