Happy New year lads!

I've got fringe players available for not loads of cash:

Julian White - 5m
Rob Hawkins - 6m
Ben Woods - 7m
Scott Hamilton - 10m
etc........

Also have Martin Castrogiovani available for cash but looking for a fair amount as he's one of the best TH's available and it will allow you to save a foreign bid for later in the season

When do foreigns open?

Looking to get them open week Monday

Get the folk in! What a result, cheers then

Remember releases are now open lads...

Looking to open National/Foreign bidding 9/01/12

FRIENDLY FIXTURES R1:

https://www.606v2.com/t21122-pre-season-friendly-week-1#813719

Am after a hooker, lock and scrum half if anyone is selling?

I've got Micky Young & Grindal available Pete

Anybody getting a bit of dealing in today?

i'd like to pooly!

after a tighthead and a number 8

Got Barritt available for a 13.

Guys, Steve's put up a good point: can we have medical/world cup jokers in our squads?!

Not looking to go down that route tbh Prop

Ok cool so I need to get rid of Nathan Charles?

Who is he?

Glos hooker who cam in for the world cup, still technically listed in the squad, not sure if we extended his contract

Sarries have Stringer - same situation isn't it?

Any player in at the beginning of the season is fine, Stringer isn't as he came in mid way and only there on loan

Charles is back with Force for preseason I think. regular for them last season (I think) so wasn't looking for a permanent deal

If he started the season with Gloucester you can keep him

Not sure I mentioned this yet, but come on you Bath! What a game that was, what a start to the year!

Thanks to Delon Armitage for proving my point beautifully the other day. Was saying to my LI supporting mate why I hated him so much, prancing around in pristine white kit, without a spec of dirt on him, with straightened hair and then 2mins later, a worthless cheap shot and he is in the bin. Brain dead! Looks like his head is already in the South of France, step up Mike Brown I guess.

annoying thing is he had such a good game against Exeter, and was the complete opposite against Bath. hopefully he is back on form against Sale.

What would peoples team of Premiership be so far?

1.Joe Marler
2.Joe Grey
3.James Johnstone
4.That russian lock who plays for Sale
5.Goerge Robson
6.Jaques Burger
7.Chris Robshaw
8.Ernst Joubert

9.Dwayne Peel
10.Nick Evans
11.Matt Smith
12.JTH
13.Owen Farrell
14.Jamie Short
15.Mike Brown

Id have Mullan or Wood ahead of Marler. Brits ahead of Grey who isnt yet guranteed first choice at Quins and would take Barritt over JTH

On first glances, thought that Trinder, May, Barritt, Foden, N.Wood were unlucky to miss out. Maybe Dickson @ 9?

May deserves to be in there actually at 13 over Farrell forgot about him

1.Nick Wood
2.Joe Grey
3.Martin Castrogiovanni
4.Matt Garvey
5.George Robson
6.Jaques Burger
7.Chris Robshaw
8.Ernst Joubert
9.Dwayne Peel
10.Nick Evans
11.Alesana Tuilagi
12.Brad Barritt
13.Owen Farrell
14.Topsy Ojo
15.Mike Brown

1.Joe Marler
2.Joe Grey
3.James Johnstone

Driver thats a terrible selection as a unit, could argue a case for Marler and Gray but JJ is awful. A 22st lump who cannot scrummage!

forgot about may and trinder, would stick one of them in

Pooly you should watch the game at the weekend. JJ sorted out the scrum for Quins

I did watch it mate, he did make a slight difference but I suspect fatigue from the Exeter unit had more to do with.

30mins of second half rugby doesn't make up for half a season of going backwards, awful TH.

Saints players that could go for good cash or player + cash offers include:

Tom Mercey
Samu Manoa
Mark Sorenson
Stuart Commins
Tom May
Noah Cato
Paul Diggin

Anyone interested in a young Scottish international, plays 13, Wing and FB and is massive at 6ft5, 15st. Jack Cuthbert

Looking to generate some cash for my pack, going cheap, offers on my page

Cash or player + cash:

WG Scott Hamilton (New Zealand
HK Rob Hawkins (England)
PR Boris Stankovich (England)
PR Pete Bucknall (England)

Bidding up to 8m with Driver, I'll have a look at lunchtime ish and then confirm with the highest bidder, cheers

When do foreigns open?

Monday

And prices about the same as ERL? Ie Carter/McCaw £30m ish and then down from there?

Perhaps

Ok, saw you're price guide, just wanted to know what the max was, just saw that you're up to 45m on the other game!

Guess that 50m should get two great wc players?

Foreigns open Monday to Friday next week

Castrogiovani available for 35m +

Saves you a foreign bid which will be vital when you all have cash later in season and no bids

£35m on Castro!!! Now I'm really confused on prices

Pooly is only charging that as hes in game Bathite and would save you a foreign. On the pricing guide your probably looking at 24/25m if he were foreign unless you were in a bidding war

Really struggling about where to improve with Irish. To my mind, they're the best team in the world so have no improving to do!

Assume it's back row?

Backrow would be a good place to start but a top tight head would give you a front 5 to match the best in the league and would be a scary proposition in the wet games

After last weekend, i'd say 1-15!

Didn't realise you were a Irish fan, missed some gloating!

I'd say front and back row though I guess, maybe hook? Gibson and Garvey looked very good though! Perhaps back up at 10? Unless you play Bowden at 12........I'm no Hape fan at all!

Guessing I need to look at Tight-head?!

Prop....or an out and out 7 or scrummy?

Aye, I kept quiet last week when I saw you about..

Bowden is class at 10, and happy with my midfield options. Need a ball fetcher and a class tighthead I think.
