You still need some work, we'll get up to speed eventually

even with his "terrible throwing that couldn't hit a barn door"!!!

hahaha

This squad is disgustingly strong. I was pretty happy with mine but the strength in depth in every position except MAYBE 9 or lock here is sickening

only a bit of fun

cheer up old boy, it's Friday

Your HC fixtures are

Biarittz (H)
Connacht (A)
Zebra (A)

Nfs

Youngs would need to be in the deal

If not K.Dickson + a top player could maybe do it

Sinckler and Karl Dickson any chance of taking em on loan

If he isn't i'll be back for you :p

yer Ford + Sinckler, normal loan conditions till end of season?

i dont want the farrell deal cancelled...i know what im doing mate, i appreciate the help and will ask if needed, but at this stage im more than happy with the farrell deal

Jaimie George/Youngs.......let us talk...........could include sharples

Would prefer youngs as george is stuck behind brits. Also, tait has next to no ratings!!

Ok! Shame you sold 12T as I'd go for him now!!

he's going nowhere, he is my star player!

the deal has been done for a while..

they are in my side and am just about to post tactics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im happy with the deal IMO my side is stronger for it...you have to let me make my own deals, i know what im doing.

yh i know..

i just wanna run my side in my own way mate....hence why im in charge of the side lol..

there's nothing wrong with the deal mate, im more than happy with it.

Etz is nfs , Alberts would need Croft.

It's a pain,

I'd probs deal on that.

anything for Tuliagi?

what about toby flood?

no

who do you want then for Cipraini?

i would do Cipraini for Brown?

yh i'l confirm it and put him in my squad..

i like Cipriani as he is versatile..he can play 10,12,13 and 15 if need be

could we do deal a different deal for Cipriani then?

i would like to sign him as, he can play 10,12,15.

there must be a way we can work out a deal for him.

I'm sorry but when was the last time Cips played well at 10, let alone twelve or fifteen. I don't even think he's played twelve for Wasps!

He played a handful of games at 12 for Wasps 07/08 before Alex King left but would be suicide playing him there now with his defensive issues.

Likewise it was probably five years ago when he last played well at fullback

I'm not Cips biggest fan but if he gets front foot ball there's few better in attack. We seen this for the Rebels.

Was against one of the best sides in world rugby. He has major flaws but can be devastating.

Fixed that for you!!

thanks mate!

Pooly. I'm not disagreeing. But IMO he's had his time now.

Free for all on commenting about people's potential deal then....I'll remember this

He's only 24 Flux!

I don't mind. Never bothers me

We'll see lol

Haha well I'm sitting pretty. Just read news that POC is back in full time training this week! Was considering Borthwick next week however...

I just saw an option to abuse Pooly and Cipriani at one time and took it

Always thought he would have been best of at fullback at the top level. Has a great running game and his distribution is decent but the game management was shocking. For every line break or fantastic pass there was a block down or intercept. Wouldn't have to tackle as much from fullback and could step in as an extra distributor. If England weren't so desperate for a new saviour at flyhalf reckon he would have been pushed to fullback. Started off well for the Reds in his first couple of games but went down hill from there. Hasn't had a consistent period of form really since he broke into the England side.

Ciprani + Cole

for

Twelvetrees + Gopperth?

Reds?! Rebels surely? Don't think a team with both Quade and Cips would work...

You know who I mean!

AP 7 - B du Plessis
AP 8 - C Wade
AP 9 - R Gray

I'll take Harrison, cheers mate.

I hate you! Was looking forward to Smith/Sexton but now I have to wait till after the AIs to see it

Yeah have enough EQ without Dowson so fine for the Heino. Will mmiss Mujati though for the few weeks as with him I've got a great scrum and a strong front row bench. Depending on the weather each week Sexton injured isn't to bad either as Myler will become pretty useful!

You got hit with a few nasty ones to big players but you have the depth to cover. Irish and Bath got hit nasty as well looking down the list. And losing 3 quality EQ will hit Glaws in the Heino

Yep, I've been hit real hard, 3 key players there! Balls
