Confirm it fella , you still going Friday? We're just turning up and seeing where we can squeez in lol

I'm going to just try and find 4 seats somewhere and if not the North stand will make some noise lol!

36 + Wade

Balshaw/Morgan + ?

I want 36 and May together......how much to buy 36?

But then who would they give the ball to when they make the breaks??!!

Maybe we'll deal in 6 months/years

Took me ages on the other game too!!

JTH in a deal for 12T?

Shingler + Mercey
=
36 + Hawkins

?

What for Kitchener?

Don't think I can lose Heathcote, as 36 wouldn't be my out and out flyhalf

Something with 36?

Depends who you are thinking of in return? I rate Catt very highly, going to be a big talent

Not really interested in losing Goode.

Don't want to lose Marler at all anyone else for Kitchener?

He's nfs , any man who take a punch from Vickers stays lol

Lucky that the remainder of our home games are Friday nights just happen to be against Sale and Saracens

Would you be willing to let; Ayerza, hawkins, Kitchener, 36, Smith, Benjamin Tait, Murphy go?

Maybe a loan for the rest of the season to help me stay up!

Obviously I'd prefer a permanent deal too

Can you see a deal from that?

Funny how you're keen on my players, but then tell me that their not that good when it comes to dealing.

For Catt I'd be thinking Slater, Kitchener, 36, Benjamin

Catt's already played for the Saxons

Think I will leave it.

Corbs
=
Cole?

Pooly, you got Wade twice on the teamsheet, what do you want me to change it to?

Not really lookin to lose money without it being permanent, sorry mate

What sort of side you putting out in the cup mate?

Sound.

Am weighing up whether to really target the cup for Heino place or go all out in the league to try to claim one. It's so tight in the league, just worked out that after this weeks games there are 6 points seperating 4th from 12th.

Could consider something like;

Paice + Hodgson + A winger
=
Hawkins + Care + Benjamin

Vulture!

Parling, Deacon, Care, Flood, Manu, Smith, 36, Benjamin

I knew you would pick that!

Would you be willing to lose Flood, if I involved Paice?

Evans is NFS , world class operator who's available all year along with Burgess inside of him.

Jenkins + Corbs
=
Ayerza + Cole

enq.

But you do need 2 TH's?!

I'll tell you why I bought Jenkins - because the scrum seems to be the key overriding factor in this game. I did not see the talent out there at TH so went for a LH and I am trying to work a deal.

I would have loved to go for Quade - but he'd be useless if managers thought I wouldn't win ball.

It depends which school of thought you are in. Is the scrum a key tactical tool or just a restart? I think in recent years we're going towards the latter.

I of course see the importance of winning your own set piece – I’m a fly half! But I think with decent lineout options and a decent back row at the breakdowns, you’ll secure plenty of ball. How many scrums do you see won against the head? So what, we won’t dominate the scrum but we’ll win our own ball. Our backs are so talented they won’t knock it on either so scrums will only ever be our put in!

Obviously I don’t predict my own games, you lads do.. and you’ve highlighted the scrum as key. I’ve therefore targeted that for improvement but for reasons stated above, I’d prefer not to.

Not sure at the moment mate, just need to sort a few things out then will start doing transfers.

Ok mate, cheers.

Has Ferris been snapped up yet?

I should've taken out bets on how long until you suggested that offer!

Not much interest in it anyway. Croft isn't a big ball carrier like Kaino.

He would add to the lineout game, but I'm being killed for not having any ball carriers at the moment, despite having Shaw, Wilson and Paice to name a few.

Trying to develop and all round game for the forwards.

Not really mate, don't see the gaps as the same IMO

HOW???????????

Yeah......how? I'm just about to buy it for my new place

got a dish and a box from my old place

Thanks mate, good to know, when I move, I might need to ask you more questions.

Make me an offer mate. What for Manu?

Think I'll keep hold of George for now mate

I can't see who you'd swap for him, as you rate both of your FH's very highly. but Flood would be very nice.

Not the biggest fan of Staughton. Can't remember the last time he played a full game. And Heathcote is in some good form at the moment.

Catt

--

We've been here before fella! Wallace Launchbury Benjamin Harrison T.Youngs Ayerza all interest me

Haha, whats the point in your initial offer then? Not going to lose young english talent without a replacement!
