Guest, Mafi, Yarde, Lahiff interest me

by CJB Mon 23 Apr 2012, 10:48 pm

I do like Guest but considering I have Haskell and Morgan he isn't worth £12m to me to be on my bench, just a player I like.

Allen > Noon
Mullan > Lahiff

by Bathite Tue 24 Apr 2012, 11:14 am

Who does Jamie Noon play for in real life at the moment mate? Is he still in France?

by Fluxy Tue 24 Apr 2012, 1:23 pm

Rekindling my interest in Mafi and Ojo, Thomp. Did you have any thoughts in this deal?

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

by Bathite Tue 24 Apr 2012, 5:00 pm

I might be tempted with a cash for Lahiff offer. What you thinking? Maybe chuck in a player my side as well?

by Driver Tue 24 Apr 2012, 5:01 pm

What for Regen King?

by Driver Tue 24 Apr 2012, 5:10 pm

I'v only just got him man! He's a big part of my team as well whilst Regan King is 3 choice at Clermount.

How was Vegas? Saw some of the pictures on your facebook and it looked pretty sweet.

by CJB Tue 24 Apr 2012, 5:15 pm

How much, he'd only be backup behind Mullan. Neither Guest/Lahiff are worth paying that much for since they won't start

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 24 Apr 2012, 6:57 pm

6m Lahiff

by Fluxy Mon 07 May 2012, 2:52 pm

Still any interest in the above, and what for Lahiff?

by Fluxy Tue 08 May 2012, 12:51 pm

Swinson + Hufanga + Mercey
=
Mafi + Thompstone + Lahiff

by Fluxy Tue 08 May 2012, 1:03 pm

I could inculde Kaino, what would you be thinking if we included him?

by Fluxy Tue 08 May 2012, 1:12 pm

Unfortunately I have no interest in Hape. How about

Kaino + Swinson + Mercey + Hufanga
=
Gibson + Mafi + Lahiff + Ojo//Thomp

?

by Fluxy Tue 08 May 2012, 1:41 pm

Don't thinik I can mate, unless you can suggest others to swap in. The gap between Kaino and Gibson is much bigger than Tait-Thomp.

by Driver Tue 08 May 2012, 9:03 pm

Bowden + Palmer

for

Evans + Robson

by ChequeredJersey Wed 09 May 2012, 10:33 pm

Interested in Geraghty or Yarde. What positions are you lacking players in?

by Driver Wed 09 May 2012, 11:53 pm

I'v decided to retain Evans mate

by Fluxy Tue 15 May 2012, 6:24 pm

Pretty sure I have mate. But if I haven't it's alright, but I'm sure I did.

by Fluxy Tue 15 May 2012, 8:29 pm

Could be willing to lose Kaino, would take some though. Anyone else interest you?

by Londonirishollie Tue 15 May 2012, 11:42 pm

Miller and 20 mill
For
Losi and Delon
???

by SirJohnnyEnglish Wed 16 May 2012, 9:10 am

I wasnt in for Delon for cash mate???

Unless im getting a decent 13 back in return want to hold on to Pisi as he is quality and available all year round

by Fluxy Thu 17 May 2012, 12:00 pm

Bendy + Hufanga + Shaw + Walds
=
Delon + Ojo + Mafi + King

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 17 May 2012, 3:29 pm

Lahiff for cash?

by ChequeredJersey Thu 17 May 2012, 3:36 pm

Geraghty for Brock James or Hougaard, with some room for negotiation?

by Londonirishollie Thu 17 May 2012, 11:39 pm

Am still interested in delon and losi could possibly get wilko involved if it interests you?.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 19 May 2012, 5:40 pm

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 19 May 2012, 7:22 pm

Not crazy amounts but could help you out. What would you accept?

by ChequeredJersey Sat 19 May 2012, 9:39 pm

How about Smit instead of Brits

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 19 May 2012, 10:03 pm

Servat is retiring after T14 final Pull

by ChequeredJersey Sat 19 May 2012, 10:25 pm

Brock James for Geraghty? I would be up for that if that's what you mean. James is a very good player but I'd rather have Geraghty

by ChequeredJersey Sat 19 May 2012, 10:57 pm

Awesome, just the 10/12 I was looking for. I put you guys down to win the cup btw

by ChequeredJersey Sat 19 May 2012, 11:25 pm

Sorry, Parra is strictly off the market

by Bathite Sun 20 May 2012, 11:25 am

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 20 May 2012, 2:12 pm

Too much for me mate...give you 9m

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 20 May 2012, 2:42 pm

Can't do 12 with foreigns coming up, no probs fella

by Fluxy Mon 21 May 2012, 2:40 pm

I think I can stretch to that one

confirm it.

by Fluxy Mon 21 May 2012, 10:36 pm

Delon, Lahiff, Yarde and Simpson, talk to me...

by Bathite Tue 22 May 2012, 10:24 am

Top 7, with Pocock? Que?

I was thinking that Louw, SOB, Lund could all be available, along with Steyn potentially.

Looking at

Jenkins, Delon, Taki, Yarde, Watson, Kennedy, Bowden

by Driver Tue 22 May 2012, 10:26 am

Don't want to lose either of them pal.

by ChequeredJersey Tue 22 May 2012, 11:08 am

I think Bathite was asking why you need another top 7

by pullthestrings Tue 22 May 2012, 11:15 am

I never said I did! That was Prop.

I'm an English fly half with charm and a full head of hair. Prop is... well.

by Bathite Tue 22 May 2012, 11:24 am

Yep, got you confused with Prop, chin up! Sorry.

by Bathite Tue 22 May 2012, 1:33 pm

Personally I think Donald will come good next year and I'm really unsure about losing him, as always available. Would be a nice combo with Bowden I'd say, as both have kicking games and playmaking ability, with Donald good on the crash as well. Homer to kick goals as well, so you're laughing.

Donald could leave, but i'd be looking for

Jenkins, Yarde, Lahiff, Watson in returns

by Bathite Tue 22 May 2012, 6:04 pm

If Donald goes, I'm looking for a starter elsewhere mate, failing that, I could take a loss and get some EQs in, as I'm pretty low on it.

Donald + Flatman
4
Lahiff + Watson + Yarde
?

by Bathite Thu 24 May 2012, 10:45 am

Donald + Flatman
4
Lahiff + Watson + Yarde

==

I could do that if you dropped one of the wingers, or at least included Banahan. With Ojo gone they're likely to play a lot more next season, really kicking on with Irish and England.

----

Sorry, hadn't seen your reply. Can't really include Banahan, that would be 3 of my main 22 for 3 academy players. Thinking that the 3 4 2 is about right considering it's 2 ex internationals.

by Bathite Thu 24 May 2012, 11:04 am

Not going to lose cash ahead of foreigns mate. How about I chuck in Catterick or Cook?

by Bathite Thu 24 May 2012, 11:30 am

Rob Cook - One of the best players in the championship, solid and pacey fb, great goal kicker. Been top scorer in the league for 3 years

Tom Catterick - Young Falcons FB/FH, sounds very promising, Driver and Pooly rate him, ask them

by Bathite Fri 25 May 2012, 8:52 am

It's ok, but in the cold light of day, i'm losing out three times, quality for potential, so seems like a big risk

by Bathite Fri 25 May 2012, 9:19 am

Ok, well it's foreign U21 bids today, lets see if I get my target and then we can go from there?
