"What power do I hold? I accept bids and do budgets. Have I ever been unfair here?!? "

You asked me a question, I answered it, lets leave it at that.

Cole, Castro, Gray, Deacon, Croft, Youngs, 36 and Benjamin would interest me

Don't suppose there is any chance of having Deacon on loan for one week?

How much for the until the last game of the season £3m?

What for 36?

Thought you may have forgotten.. old age and that.

36 + ?
=
Lahiff + ?

or straight swap.

You've just said Gibson and Lahiff, assume you didn't mean both?!

Now I remember why negotiations broke down last time... you're ridiculous requests.

Falcons to sign Oliver Tomasczyk in next few days which pretty much means Murrey is gone.

How certain are you of that Drive?

About 90% Why what have you heard?

Nothing really just wondered. I remember reports once saying that oliver was useless in the setpiece, but then again was a while ago.

It's a shame to see Murrsiah go as when he's been on form it's a split between him and Hudson to who our best player is.

Grant Sheills will come back to the AP a much better player for a year in the RFUC.

I was speaking to Mark Layercock tonight at the Seaton/Rovers game and he was saying that they are in talks with a few of Deano's mates down at Leicester and Quins about coming up. Not surprising one of the players was Tom Williams but others which shocked me where Ollie Phillips , Callum Green and here's there ambitious bid Geordon Murphy. He was saying if they go down to expect the likes of Joel Hodgson to be playing 9 week in week out and Joe Robinson and Mark Wilson to cement places in the back row.

Would love a team based round youth

1.Sheills
2.Vickers
3.Tom
4.Hudson
5.Green
6.Robinson
7.Welch (c)
8.Wilson

9.Hodgson
10.Goppereth
11.Tait
12.Fitzy
13.Hufanga
14.Kibirige
15.Catterick

Pooly I swear you told me Hodgson was a 10, when I started playing him at 9!

Would like to see Wilson and Welch a lot more, and maybe try and pick a young hooker from somewhere. Vickers is alright for Champ, but with the time in that league we could groom someone for the AP.

Hodgson is a 10 mate, I've seen him cover 9 but not convinced.

6. Robinson (the NE Stephen Ferris)
7. Welch (the NE David Pocock)
8. Wilson (NE Kieran Read)

Would be a great backrow going forward

Make me an offer for Farrell

Are you willing to do a deal for Warburton?

Don't worry it's typical that the best players/players I most want are NFS.

I don't seem to be very good at this trading lark.

How about Dan Cole? When does his loan run out?

The difficulty is that I am permanently broke. No money in the coffers.

Richards has by all accounts said he'll play 9 in the championship if they go down because it entails a lot of decision making but won't have as much affect in the game as it would if he played 10. Will Welch is a class act , If i was Lancaster i'd be on the blower to him telling him to join at Premiership club and prepare for a Saxon's call up.

Marler NFS

Robson for 12T?

Could we get Benjiman involved?


I can't believe Welch hasn't played more this season but i think there trying to keep him under the radar a bit.

We will never come to a Morgan agreement

Van der Heijden set to return to NZL, and apparrently Falcons are looking at Scott Macleod as a replacement. Could be alright as a squad member if in the Champ next year.

Would you take £10m for Deacon?

Also have some interest in Cole, Parling, Harrison, Youngs, Care, 36 and Benjamin

£13m sound any better?

3 draws.......you must have splinters in your pants mate! Getting trickier to predict wins though, gaps closing in the league, good to see.

I'm interested in Slater, 36 and T.Youngs.

Maybe

Miller, M.Jones and Myall
for
36, T.Youngs and Slater
??

Miller, Botha and Myall
for
36, T.Youngs and Slater

Could have Nick Evans available.......

I was thinking more Dan Cole in a deal fella

Evans + JJ

for

12T + Cole

Need a gain on Waldrom...

Neither is big enough...like Wade in theory but think i'm losing too much for a starting England player and potential Lion

But I'd rather have the top level player with a lower player than two decent players

Not a Newby fan tbh.

Launchbury + Wade + Waldrom + Cole (Loan)
4
Percival + Morgan + Garvey

What would you be looking at for Tom Youngs and Slater??

Don't think I'll do that! Was going to come to you with something different, still interested in Paice?

Just something for 36 and Deacon maybe

Thanks for clarifying, much obliged

Deacs, Youngs, George, Wallace, Care, 36, Lowe, Benjamin

Non-starters for you that I want

I also like Care

For Care Goode is possible. I would need Tait to be in the deal to cover for him but I would offer another player in return

Yer I've been trying to think of a deal to suit us both using the players listed yesterday and because of the make-up of my squad I couldn't. Potentially if other deals happen I could see something but it's dependant on them

You remember what I wanted for Mullan, I need more than that for Marler....do like Cole :P

Genia could be available as I do like Youngs + Care, need another gain though

Morgan we will never come to a deal on disagreements on where to rate Waldrom...

no way around the Cole thing

I think Haskell isn't as effective at 8 so I'd need another gain cos it's a drop in quality in my team albeit not a huge one

I need a gain since it weakens my team overall

Croft Saull Haskell isn't as good as Haskell Saull Morgan imo...not a huge fan of Haskell at 8

Yer but if a 'gain' in quality actually weakens my team surely I would want a gain elsewhere

I'm not suggesting you have to do it, its clearly a deal that doesn't work for either of us then :L

Fourie, kubs and ???
For
Lowe, Cole and ???

Not sure if I'd defo do it but Is this something that could potentially interest you?
