Bowe + Marconnet
=
JOC + Mujati

by Fluxy Fri Nov 11, 2011 12:53 pm

Thoughts on that mate?

by Fluxy Fri Nov 11, 2011 2:37 pm

What do I need to do for O'Connor?

by Fluxy Fri Nov 11, 2011 3:35 pm

I'd rather Medard as a winger as in my opinon I think he others more of an attacking edge there than from FB. Hence why I'm a bit reluctant on AAC for Medard. And Ashton has come off the boil a bit.

by Fluxy Fri Nov 11, 2011 3:54 pm

No he didn't, Tonga and Mujati did?
Yeah not so keen, what for a lock?

by Fluxy Fri Nov 11, 2011 4:24 pm

Thion + Yach
=
Alba + Dickinson?

Can loan Ellis for 4 weeks for £3m

by Driver Mon Nov 14, 2011 11:44 am

by CJB Mon Nov 14, 2011 5:02 pm

Can't do that 12 for a 13

by prop_lyd Mon Nov 14, 2011 9:50 pm

Can I loan Sorensen for 1 week please??!!

by prop_lyd Mon Nov 14, 2011 10:31 pm

I kind of needed him because i'm one man down from my 23!!

by Driver Wed Nov 16, 2011 4:07 pm

Yeah mate you can have the £3m and SBW is staying

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:21 pm

Sale bid 18m for Shane Geraghty

Accept or reject on foreign transfer page before 2359hrs 25/11/11

by Bathite Fri Nov 25, 2011 1:42 pm

Yeah, makes sense, but Cooper is way ahead of Evans mate, would need a sweetener. Genia-Cooper is an unreal combo

by Bathite Fri Nov 25, 2011 1:49 pm

You and I both know that Genia/Cooper is one of the best combos in world rugby, up there with Nonu/Smith!

Reds combo is proven at club and int, Weepu/Evans, is just two blokes born in the same country, have they even played together?

Wouldn't be looking for a huge sweetener, but something to make it fair.

by Steven_Sharks Fri Nov 25, 2011 3:09 pm

Think I prefer Dus of the two at the moment mate.

by CJB Sat Nov 26, 2011 10:06 am

I'd need Fourie or JOC in deal

by Bathite Sat Nov 26, 2011 10:39 am

How about £10m when you get your bonus? That way you don't lose quality in personnel

Evans +£10m = Cooper

by Driver Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:47 am

£20m for Freuun?

by Driver Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:09 pm

Sorry mate SBW is part of my long term plan that's why I'm after cash for robbie now

by Bathite Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:04 pm

How about £10m when you get your bonus? That way you don't lose quality in personnel

Evans +£10m = Cooper

Thoughts?

by Driver Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:52 pm

What about this Thomson and Smith deal?

by Bathite Wed Nov 30, 2011 12:12 pm

Yeah you're right, 10m perhaps a touch too much, how about 7m? Or 5m + Clark??

by Bathite Wed Nov 30, 2011 12:13 pm

Cooper + Genia is the definition of a combination being much greater than the some of its parts though! Even better with Digby! Imagine a backline of

Genia
Cooper
Iaone
JOC
Fourie
Ashton
Medard

I would wet myself!

by CJB Thu Dec 01, 2011 4:05 pm

Doesn't really work for me since I play Barnes at 12

by CJB Thu Dec 01, 2011 4:14 pm

For your team I'd rate Cooper. A good defending 12 would be perfect along with him in your team

by Bathite Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:51 pm

would prefer cash, 4m+clark?

by LukeLovesLuka Sun Dec 04, 2011 8:42 pm

Massive drop mate...

by CJB Sun Dec 04, 2011 8:50 pm

Didn't get any stick for it last year...Chuck in Burgess 4 Genia?

by CJB Sun Dec 04, 2011 9:32 pm

Lawes 4 Mumm?

by Fluxy Sun Dec 04, 2011 10:38 pm

I'm going to leave it mate, think you offered the same deal before.

by CJB Sun Dec 04, 2011 11:10 pm

Fancy doing Fourie 4 Hook then

by Fluxy Sun Dec 04, 2011 11:11 pm

Actually;

Parrisse + Fourie
=
Hari + Rougerie

Possibly?

by Bathite Mon Dec 05, 2011 8:44 pm

3m for Beuaden Barrett - forgot to confirm, sorry

by Bathite Tue Dec 06, 2011 9:34 am

Now you have some cash, we reopening Evans+cash=cooper?

by Bathite Tue Dec 06, 2011 12:11 pm

Not bad, but doesn't really make sense for me, as Fourie is injured and breaks up Nonu and Smith

by Fluxy Tue Dec 06, 2011 12:27 pm

Rougerie + Bowe + Thion
=
Fourie + JOC + Albacete

enq

by Fluxy Tue Dec 06, 2011 12:37 pm

I am aware however that Hari and Fourie are injured?

by Fluxy Tue Dec 06, 2011 9:51 pm

Did you not see that ^

by Bathite Wed Dec 07, 2011 9:35 am

Thoughts on the injuries/transfers rule?

I'm tempted with your offer, is it the centres you are after? I'm tempted with JOC at 10/12

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:25 am

Would do:

Moore + Nazcewa
for
Hartley + Medard?

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:34 am

Wouldn't say there's much between them at all.....about the same as there is between the hookers for me. Nacewa more a FB that can cover wing that would suit you better. And Parisse should be your captain....

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:35 am

He also covers 10 which you are short on reserves for.

by Fluxy Wed Dec 07, 2011 11:41 am

Don't see what I gain out of that, other than having two 13's lol

by Driver Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:38 pm

Thomson + SBW

for

Smith + Mermoz

by Driver Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:27 am

Mermoz + JOC

For

SBW + Digby

by Driver Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:32 am

Rate Digby above Ashton so might struggle for a deal there

What if we done

Mermoz + Hartley

For

SBW + Rees

by Driver Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:35 pm

Please note a new rule that has been introduced:

When you transfer injured players their injury becomes void and they are available to play for the acquiring side. You can transfer a maximum of 2 injured players per set.

by Bathite Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:40 pm

Its a good deal, I'm thinking about it. Don't think that Mermoz/Fourie is a great partnership to be honest, would be looking to play JOC at 10/12, so trying to work out what my backline looks like

by Bathite Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:45 pm

Yeah thats why. Also Nonu and Smith are the best in their positions but also are the best partnership as well as that
