No chance

Haha! Could say the same about you and your 'ask for the world' approach!

haha yeh i forgot about that

what about 12T then?

For now maybe, but you and I know he has a big future, as does Louw and Catt. See my three all as better options when you consider the bigger picture of EQ and future.

I don't want to lose players in their prime and in great form for non EQ options, it will limit me in the future.

I was excited about 36 for those exact reasons and with Steyn out injured as well.

haha, all fair points you make there!

i'm a bit grumpy and impatient today, had an all nighter at work last night and still going!

Heathcote = Twelvetrees? ENQ only

Don't want to lose him at all, but with Steyn's injury, might have to make sacrifices. Is that close to a potential deal?

Ok, thought you had enquired about heathcote before, must have been someone else, got confused, knew you wanted some of my EQ youngsters.

Can't lose Attwood mate, want to build pack spine around Franks-Attwood-Louw.

I could include some of the youngster you're interested in, but not Attwood as well.

Really not sure if i want to lose him!!

I know how awesome is that?!!? I just don't want to lose may for him

with may on the bench or a 15!!

I know it is so so tempting to do it but....i'm worried may's ratings may go through the roof soon!!

Oh, sorry, no thanks.

I'd have Fearns = 36 in terms of age, experience, promise and versatility, so wouldn't want to lose Williams as well.

I disagree, hence the refusal!

Not sure mate, could do with improvements to my starting team so Murphy would be good and or possibly involve Smith or 36

I'm alright mate. Not looking to lose him then.

Lahiff, Gibson, Lowe, Paice, Ojo

===
Would be after Wade for Ojo, maybe look to get 36 involved. Paice would need Webber. What about, as an enquiry:

Lahiff, Gibson
=
Croft, White?

Yeah sure mate

So you're thinking

Croft, Agulla, White
=
Lahiff, Gibson, Ojo?

A little too much from my end there - it's 2 losses and one gain for me, added to that I lose a EQ. Could poss do:

Croft, Wade, Stankovich, 36
=
Lahiff, Gibson, Ojo, Hape?

I think Ojo has higher ratings and is more established, so I'd happily leave out Ojo/Wade..

Attwood NFS and why would you need him with that battery of second rows!

Launchbury, Kitchener, Ayerza, Newby?

Ha that was no surprise

Probably not willing to move on Servat. Could be willing to lose Brus for Warbs, but I'm guessing you'll probably not willing to budge on that!

Obviously interest in your centres and maybe I could let Palmer go for some decent locks

probably would agree with you mate, you could see how well Croft played with Robshaw, and he's close-ish in the way to Warbs would play.

/ might have to start playing Gopperth at 15 if the Falcons are going to play that well!

Interesting proposal, I certainly wouldn't be adding £ on top though.

who do you have available?

hawkins, 12T, cole, castro, ford, tuilagi

What for Daly?

Course you'd want Bismarck

Will have to mean I big deal with more players coming to me, or you having to give up a player of yours which is marked as not for sale.

Interested in anyway - Ayerza, Cole, Deacon, Croft, Warburton, Wallace, Waldrom, Flood, Tuilagi, Wade, Murphy.

Know nothing would be possible for James O'Connor so won't bother about him.

Your choice if you can make something.

Webber + Murphy for BdP?

Need better, not a Webber fan don't like his line out throwing ability. Still rate Murphy, but I really need a big player if you are to prize Bismarck away from me.

I.e Croft or Warburton.

Lowe for Daley?

Oh sorry nowhere.

What about any other of my players?

BdP? Hit me with some offers

BDP + Johnson + Camacho
for
Webber + Warburton + Murphy + Kitchener/Slater

Webber + Croft + Murphy

BdP + TJ + Camacho

Add Deacon for Hayes or Hanks?

Who would you class as your bench and fringe players.

Draw me up that list, and I will try and work something from there.

I am not going to get your best players, unless I include BDP and Warburton comes my way.

Ok.

Ayerza, Croft, Waldrom, Flood, Twelvetrees, Smith and Murphy interest me.

Unless something like.

Ayerza + Wade
for
BDP

?

Lovely of you to inform me of this..but wrong page

Might have to stick Croft back in.

BDP + Freshwater + Arscott
for
Croft + Ayerza + Murphy

Something along those lines.

What about instead.

Ayerza + Twelvetrees + Murphy + Smith
for
Freshwater + Mieres + Arscott + Naqelevuki

?

Won't get anywhere then, not selling BDP to you, because you haven't got a sutiable replacement for him.

Only looking at Ayerza to boost my pack and Murphy to add to my back three.

So anything for Ayerza and Murphy maybe Smith aswell, anything for them three at all?

Well why would I sell my best player, in a struggling team?

I most likely have to get in decent bench players or fringe players from sides and build from there.

Absolutely nothing for Ayerza, Smith or Murphy?

All them three for BDP haha

Yeah was a good lbp , I think we'll beat the drop only lost yesterday as outside backs were dire besides Goosen Apparently

Slater + Ayerza

BdP

Like I said need to keep BDP unless someone gives me a good replacement.

I wouldn't target your big players, because there is no chance I would get any unless Horwill or BDP is involved and the only way you may get them off me is, if you include Warburton, Croft or Wade like I said.

But out of the lesser quality players, bench players or whatever you want to call them. Ayerza, Smith and Murphy are my only realistic targets from you.

Croft + Wade + Murphy
for
BDP + Nacewa

Enquiry Only.

Will be a no again then.

Doubt we will get anything.

Ayerza + Murphy
for
Moon + Nacewa

God knows?

Will leave it then for the time being.

If you just want BDP, and can't see anything for Ayerza, Smith or Murphy I will leave it.

May for 36?

Would want Daley in a deal

Brookes?

Only Barnes and JOC improve me in the backs and i doubt you'll part with them
