Precociously talented back Jordie Barrett is coming under the pump from older brother Beauden to sign with the Hurricanes.Boasting one of the most sought-after signatures in the country, 19-year-old Jordie has been the subject of multiple offers from Kiwi Super Rugby franchises.The versatile Canterbury back seems set to either stay in Christchurch with the Crusaders or join All Blacks playmaker Beauden at the Hurricanes, who clinched their maiden title this year.The New Zealand age group star played a round of golf on Wednesday with world-class playmaker Beauden.The elder took advantage of a day off in his preparations for the Test against South Africa in Christchurch, proposing his brother shift north.Im twisting his arm very tightly, Beauden Barrett said.Hes a young man just sort of starting his career and hes got some decisions to make. I feel a little bit sorry for him.Jordie was a standout performer for this years New Zealand under-20 side and has impressed at NPC level for unbeaten Canterbury with his booming boot and hints of his brothers sparkling running game.New Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has stated a desire to snare Jordie, who is the youngest of four impressive rugby-playing siblings out of Taranaki.Scott is a lock on the rise with the Crusaders while oldest brother Kane had two seasons as a loose forward with the Blues.Beauden Barrett, who has become familiar with speculation about his own Super Rugby allegiance in recent seasons, offered one last piece of advice to his brother on the golf course.He pointed out their father Kevin is a former Hurricanes forward.Just remember where you come from, thats all, Beauden smiled.

Phaphon, a 22-year-old from Vancouver, BC, used a combination of statistics and intuition to set his roster, noting, "Stats alone cant do everything and intuition alone will create a lot sub-optimal picks when its not backed by relevant stats. Ideally the stats and intuition align." The Fantasy Hockey Challenge allows players to change their roster every week and Phaphon took advantage of that opportunity from time to time. "I generally did make changes every week," said Phaphon. "Although it really depends on the schedule. There were weeks where I held onto most of my players from the previous week, and there were weeks when I completely blew up my team." When looking for a particular value pick, Phaphon didnt hesitate to give credit to San Joses Brent Burns, who started the year as a defencemen, then moved to forward, playing on Joe Thorntons wing. He was a bargain pick-up for the production he provided, which included 20 points in the last 24 games of the season. Phaphon had several close calls in big fantasy pools during the 2011-2012 season, including a winning month in TSNs Predictor Challenge, so he felt like he was close to earning a big prize. "I told my friends that I was gonna win a car next season!" No word on whether that prediction was also a combination of stats and intuition. That bold prediction paid off as Jimmy received a 2014 Kia Forte Sedan SX for his Fantasy Hockey Challenge win. Phaphon had been planning to buy a used car in July, so his prize couldnt have come at a better time. "The car feels/drives amazing and it has so many features that I still have no clue what 80% of them do." OQuinn, a 40-year-old IT Manager from New Waterford, Nova Scotia, stormed ahead of the competition, but it took some time. "In the first round, I put some thought into what teams would win both their respective series and possibly play 6-7 games," he said. "On top of that I had gone with Bruins and Hawks in another pool, so I went with the two goalies whom I thought had the best chance of advancing into round two (Rask/Crawford).dddddddddddd "With the Hawks and Senators taking only five games to dispose of their opposition, it stuck me in approx 3,500th place following the first round." With all of his first-round picks advancing, OQuinn made a choice for the second round. "I simply let my team ride and hoped for deep series." OQuinn acknowledged that part of the reason he let it ride for Round Two was that he didnt necessarily think he was in position to contend after the first round, but that changed as he crept near the Top 100 after the second round. The final opportunity to make changes in the Playoff Challenge came before the Conference Final, at which point OQuinn loaded his team with Bruins and Blackhawks, the two teams he expected to reach the Stanley Cup Final. OQuinn went with a diverse approach at the end. "I also wanted to ensure that I had three forwards from each team in the final segment, selecting two off their top lines and one off the second, in the case that one line went cold." When it came to finding value, OQuinn found that winning goaltenders provided the best bang for the buck. "I put my emphasis on picking who I thought had the best chance to win and who I thought would play every night," he said. "I stayed far away from former Cape Breton Screaming Eagle Marc-Andre Fleury as his display in 2012 was scarier than any movie released in that calendar year and he played his best part to be a Penguin killer this post-season." Asked if his viewing habits changed much due to the Playoff Hockey Challenge, Quinn responded, "For me, Im a self-confessed sport-a-holic and my trends following the playoffs didnt change too much. I would say I did spend quite a bit of time on TSNs site following the Playoff Hockey Challenge leaderboard. A great tool was that the pool updated with live stats within games which made it exciting to follow in real time. As I grew closer to the lead, my wife Amy (who may have watched a combined 10 minutes of the NHL in her life) became enthralled in the stats and results, and watching the Final so, more than anything else,that made the 2013 playoffs the most enjoyable for me." OQuinns prize for his efforts? A 2014 Kia Sorento. A nice ride for his playoff success.
