ok, deal

Kearney + Heymans + Mermoz + Cullen
=
Foden + Ashton + Tindall + Palmer

Lose out 3 times.

Kaino + Toeava

for

Smith + Clerc

I can't really do a two for 3 deal as I'm struggling when Injuries hit somilar positions so the above is the best I can do at the moment.

I'll deal on that

Can't lose both Steyn's kicking and Burger's fetching sorry.

I'll get back to you after the eng/ire/s.a and france matches!!

Sorry bud, see that as losing out twice to improve a position I am already strong in.

Barcella + Nalaga + Wilko + Kaino
for
Corbs + Heymans + FTD + SOB?

Don't rate Kearney so no can do I'm afraid

Poor offer, I did post an answer but seemed it didn't work.

Sorry

Deal mate

No thanks mate, Parra would be a huge loss, Ferris isn't a weakness

Jauzion = Giteau?

Play Hook at 13? Or I could chuck in Fainga'a or Horne.

Kaino + Lemi + Toeava
=
Croft + Ashton + Foden

Not dealing with you, trying to deal with other people so they come out of their closet to prove if im wrong or right about everything I said earlier.

Plus that offer is shocking anyway.

Kaino (>)> Croft
Lemi < Ashton
Toeava (>) = Foden

Toeava better than Foden no way. Don't think you have realised that you have put Lemi for Ashton in the deal.

That would be >>>>>>>>>>>>

Hynes was in the Australia squad when fit and playing.

Need back-up simple as that.

My only problem is that Flannery is out for the w.c and not sure how he's rated!

Fluxy, its your pick on ERL5, im after you and getting very excited/impatient!

dus + russow
for
burger + whitelock......

i'm quite happy with steyn + fourie at the moment sorry plus hook's injured at the moment for a bit and jones hasn't played.

Add in Toeava for Fourie then?

Can't lose both Steyn's and Fourie sorry!! Need to keep most of that backline together!!

It literally is just the Jones for Steyn bit I don't like!!

Will Cowan be available for next week? If so why not merge the two deals?!

Yeah why not!! It's only a short game

Guessing we're both quite happy with that!!

Lose out twice majorly to improve slightly once

Jauzion
=
Giteau

I could prob do that, confirm if you're happy

Great offer.

Let me mull it over

Think i'm gonna deal on that offer mate.

Schalk + Rougerie + Pienaar
=
Vito/Higginbotham + AAC + Burgess

enq. Figure Vito or Higgy would slot in at 6, SOB to 7. AAC can go to 13, or improve any of your back 3 and put Manu at 13

Sorry mate not enough of a gain in either of those deals for me. Taking Williams on gives me the same problem you have with two more lineout based locks. Would you consider Jamie Cudmore from foreigns? Not sure how he would be rated here but hes the definition of an enforcer!!
