by Fluxy Wed 07 Mar 2012, 2:27 pm

=
Cuthbert + Swinson

Enq

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Mar 2012, 12:03 am

Don't really need 2 LH's mate

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Mar 2012, 12:13 am

TH is the cornerstone of your scrum and it's harder to find a top TH than it is LH.......

I rate both players offered but does nothing for my squad

by Driver Thu 08 Mar 2012, 12:15 am

Tagicakibau

for

Southwell + ????

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Mar 2012, 12:53 am

Looking very strong at LH by the way....not quite sure why you signed Jenkins with Corbs & Lahiff in your squad?!?!

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Mar 2012, 9:50 am

I don't think the scrum is that much an issue myself and I dont think it was the be all in our game tbh. I dont decide a game on a team winning a scrum, it can have a big effect in certain conditions though.

by stnick88 Thu 08 Mar 2012, 10:54 am

what for lahiff?

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 08 Mar 2012, 11:00 am

Am also interested in Lahiff.

by Bathite Thu 08 Mar 2012, 11:16 am

So would I!

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 08 Mar 2012, 1:47 pm

Mitchell is an international tighthead, Lahiff is miles away from being anywhere near an international so that's not even close to being a deal.

by Bathite Thu 08 Mar 2012, 2:11 pm

Its alright mate, not looking for huge changes, maybe cash? 6m?

by Fluxy Thu 08 Mar 2012, 5:10 pm

What for Corbs and Mafi mate? Wouldn't be able to lose Murray, but willing to lose some players.

by Fluxy Thu 08 Mar 2012, 9:25 pm

Don't think I could stretch to Murray, how about something along the lines of;

Wilson + Hudson + Heathcote + Cuthbert
=
Corbs + Mafi + Bowden + Thompstone

Heathcote is rated quite highly and in some very good form at the moment.

by Fluxy Sat 10 Mar 2012, 11:51 am

£2m for two weeks

by Fluxy Sat 10 Mar 2012, 11:59 am

Haha! The best things in life arent free Wink

Now Corbs for £5m Whistle

by Fluxy Sat 10 Mar 2012, 9:14 pm

Had a real think on this one;

Murray + Swinson + Fielden + Stegmann
=
Corbs + Mafi + Thompstone + Ojo

Enq

by Driver Tue 13 Mar 2012, 12:30 pm

Hi mate

What type of team are you fielding for the cup game next week? I'm sticking with the roughly the same side as this week. Cipriani may come in at 15 and Denton at 4 but they would be the only changes i reckon

by Fluxy Tue 13 Mar 2012, 12:53 pm

Did you confirm the loan mate?

And have you seen the offer above?

by Fluxy Tue 13 Mar 2012, 1:27 pm

How about;

Murray + Hudson + Swinson + Stegmann
=
Corbs + Mafi + Kennedy + Ojo/Thompstone

?

by Fluxy Wed 14 Mar 2012, 3:51 pm

Any chances of getting Corbs or Mafi mate?

by Fluxy Thu 15 Mar 2012, 10:49 am

Thoughts buddy?

Could just simplify it to;

Murray + Swinson
=
Corbs + Mafi

?

by Fluxy Thu 15 Mar 2012, 11:39 am

See it as Murray > Corbs, but what do you suggest to even it up?

by Fluxy Thu 15 Mar 2012, 11:52 am

Murray + Swinson + Guest
=
Corbs + Mafi + Danaher

Maybe?

by Fluxy Tue 20 Mar 2012, 2:21 pm

Any thoughts mate?

by Bathite Wed 21 Mar 2012, 3:28 pm

you've got mail!

by Fluxy Tue 27 Mar 2012, 1:45 pm

Would you want a decent TH?

by pullthestrings Tue 27 Mar 2012, 1:49 pm

Yes, very much so.

by Fluxy Tue 27 Mar 2012, 1:54 pm

Could we revive A Corbs/Murray offer?

by pullthestrings Tue 27 Mar 2012, 3:21 pm

I don't think so.. unless you chucked something in.

Corbs > Murray IMO.

by Fluxy Tue 27 Mar 2012, 6:11 pm

Murray + Swinson + May + Tuilagi
=
Corbs + Mafi + Hape + Ojo

Enq

by Fluxy Wed 28 Mar 2012, 12:47 am

Could I get Ojo/Thompstone on loan in return, for Vickers on loan for the season?

Would be happy with that mate

by Fluxy Wed 28 Mar 2012, 4:05 pm

Do you approve mate?

by Fluxy Wed 28 Mar 2012, 4:12 pm

Thats alright mate, just wanted to try and wrap it up before team sheets for the cup.

No way to squeeze Thompstone off you?

by Fluxy Wed 28 Mar 2012, 11:47 pm

Well if we were talking money, I think Ojo would need to come my way. Could give you £3m?

by Fluxy Thu 29 Mar 2012, 1:36 pm

Yeah lets do!

I can't let go of two TH's at the moment.

Would be interested in your first offer, but I'd chuck £3m from my predicitons next week on top to make my loan Ojo

by Fluxy Thu 29 Mar 2012, 1:39 pm

Yupp stick it on confirms

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 01 Apr 2012, 11:16 am

Return in week:

Week 18 - Shane Geraghty
Week 19 - Ragan King
Week 20 - Shoytane Hape
Week 21 - Sailosi Tagicakibau
Week 22 - Max Lahiff

by pullthestrings Sun 01 Apr 2012, 11:41 am

Booooooooo!

by CJB Sun 01 Apr 2012, 4:54 pm

Interested in Gibson

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 17 Apr 2012, 6:13 pm

Alright fella, not seen you on here for a while.

We've done this a few times.......Gibson + Lahiff

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 17 Apr 2012, 10:01 pm

pullthestrings wrote:Thought you may have forgotten.. old age and that.

36 + ?
=
Lahiff + ?

or straight swap.

I was young once, just a while ago now.

Not much interest in that mate tbh, can't see what to add to even it up without including top players.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 17 Apr 2012, 10:18 pm

No I meant both

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 17 Apr 2012, 10:37 pm

Rate 36 over Gibson and well over Lahiff, thought the 2 would even it up. Hardly rediculous but your opinion fella.

by stnick88 Wed 18 Apr 2012, 9:34 am

what for mafi and geraghty?

by stnick88 Wed 18 Apr 2012, 10:36 am

il have a think mate

by Fluxy Wed 18 Apr 2012, 5:35 pm

Mafi, Evans, Allinson, King, Ojo, and Thompstone all tickle my fancy.

Would Gibson or Lahiff be available, do I have any players which interest you for them, and the above?

by Fluxy Wed 18 Apr 2012, 6:03 pm

Not looking to spend money I'm afraid mate.

what do you think about;

Swinson + Welch + Hodgson + Tuilagi
=
Mafi + Gibson + Allinson + Ojo/thompstone

Welch is very highly thought of, likely Captain of Falcons next year at only 22 years old

by prop_lyd Wed 18 Apr 2012, 6:03 pm

What price for Guest?

by Fluxy Thu 19 Apr 2012, 12:02 am

Casey + Hodgson + A. Tuilagi
=
Mafi + Allinson + Ojo/Thompstone

?
