What for Guest?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Jan 2012, 9:41 pm

Rate Tank well ahead of Guest so wouldn't include him tbh. What on Crane?

Crane + ?

Guest + ?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Jan 2012, 9:46 pm

He's injured that's why lol

Don't see too much difference between Crane/Guest tbh, no probs

by pullthestrings Wed 11 Jan 2012, 11:36 pm

Not really mate, as I'm quite strong at lock now and Corbs covers both sides..

by Bathite Wed 11 Jan 2012, 11:45 pm

if servat is a no go, how about palmer or hudson for hipkiss?

by stnick88 Thu 12 Jan 2012, 2:43 pm

Swinson + Gopperth + Helluer + Cuthbert
=
Birkett + Robinson + Waldlouck + Tuilagi

sorry mate not really much gain there for me.

by stnick88 Fri 13 Jan 2012, 11:07 am

dont want to lose waldouck for helleur really.

by stnick88 Fri 13 Jan 2012, 11:25 am

something like

robinson, waldouck, hart
for
gopperth, may, guest

by Driver Fri 13 Jan 2012, 12:57 pm

Nfs mate

by Londonirishollie Fri 13 Jan 2012, 11:43 pm

Joel Hodgson and Tom Catterick
for
Myall and 4 mill?

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 14 Jan 2012, 9:51 pm

Tasty pack your building there Flux, just missing a bit of spark in the backs. I'd prop go:

12. Fitz
13. May/Uys

11. Hufanga/Cuthbert
14. Fielden
15. Tait/Cattrick or Manning for kicking option

Hodgson no premiership 9 and Tait doesn't really play 13 much

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 14 Jan 2012, 10:24 pm

He's covered there for age grade but would be shown up horribly as Prem level, def more a 10. Great talent too

by Driver Sat 14 Jan 2012, 10:44 pm

When i played Durham U20s Hodgson was our 9 for the first few games but he got shifted to 10 to try and get the back line moving a bit more.

by Londonirishollie Mon 16 Jan 2012, 12:24 am

Vernon and Myall
for
Murray

by Londonirishollie Mon 16 Jan 2012, 12:24 am

^^i could add Herny Thomas (Current England Saxon and alot of people want him on here) and Amesbury (would give you a bit of x factor out wide) both on season long loans.

by stnick88 Mon 16 Jan 2012, 8:45 am

sorry mate no deal

by stnick88 Mon 16 Jan 2012, 9:09 am

for waldouck i would need something like

gopperth, guest, may
for
robinson, hart, waldouck

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 10:05 am

Sorry mate, couldn't do him for 8, he's an international tighthead. Would need £8 million and Tom May for him.

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:24 pm

Not sure I can do Mitchell for £10 million mate, he's an international tighthead so a valuable commodity so would be wanting £15 million minimum for him really.

Would do £10 million + either Joel Hodgson or Tom Catterick.

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:27 pm

I'm still not interested in Hodgson and Catterick. Sell them to Ozzy really cheap, they are rubbish and he is a top top geezer!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:28 pm

I agree with that, well said Driver Smile

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:29 pm

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:30 pm

Lol...see Hodge played 10 yesterday?

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:33 pm

Yeah, like I said, the boy is dross, would be good to offload him cheap!

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:34 pm

Listen to these boys Fluxy, they talk a lot of sense! Wink

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:35 pm

Easy Pete! Don't want you and Craig Newby going at it on Twitter again lol.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:37 pm

What's this about Newby????

I know they talk up Ford something rotten but Hodgson has bags of talent, love to see more of him for Falcons. Getting a little excited now Tait has left

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:39 pm

Editing my Posts Peter!!!!!!!!

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:40 pm

Don't know what you mean Driver Wink

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:42 pm

Pooly! Send Newby round , Pete's taken things to far with his far left style editing!

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:43 pm

Don't send Newby round, him and his mates will probably bleed all over my nice cream carpets!!!

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:45 pm

Lol! Not fancy a green carpet? Wink

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:46 pm

Haha....loving that! Think you're abusing your power a little though Peter!

Spill the beans on Newby then

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:51 pm

Craig Newby - Twitter wrote:Teams going to bleed green tonight - come on Tigers (Something along them lines)

Pete Osborn - Twitter wrote:@craignewby6 @LeicesterTigers if the players blood is coming out green I'd suggest the team take a trip down the docs ;-) #SUFTUM

Craig Newby - Twitter wrote:It was a metaphor idiot

He's actually took the tweets of lol!

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:51 pm

Nothing to tell really Pooly, he tweeted before the Ulster game on Friday night about how fired up the Tiggers were and how they bled red white and green.

I merely tweeted back suggesting that if they were bleeding green then they might want to nip down the quacks and get themselves checked over!

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:53 pm

I thought the little wink might have let him know that it was a bit of banter, but he's obviously a sensitive chappy. Laugh

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:55 pm

lol , Most back rowers are! Dally was quire boy!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:55 pm

And he put that?????

Firstly who looks a tool now after getting battered!

Secondly.. He is obviously a little thick not to get the joke.

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 6:59 pm

I hadn't actually seen that he'd called me an idiot until Driver posted that to be honest as he must have taken it down pretty sharpish.

Who's got him in this game, think I might buy him and leave him to languish in the stiffs or get him to sweep the dressing room or something! Laugh

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 16 Jan 2012, 7:03 pm

Me.....

Could have done with him on Friday to be fair, they got battered in the backrow.

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 7:05 pm

They got battered everywhere to be honest. Last thing I seen get that battered was a mars bar in Glasgow!!!

What is the Scottish nations obsession with deep frying everything. I saw a deep fried pizza when I was up there ffs!

Mental!

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 7:06 pm

You can get deep fried Mars Bars where i live! lol

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jan 2012, 7:08 pm

You live in Scotland don't you?!?!?!

North of Watford = Scotland!!!

by Driver Mon 16 Jan 2012, 7:11 pm

Pah! I wipe my arse after i'v been the bog!

Southern fairies Wink

by Fluxy Mon 16 Jan 2012, 7:27 pm

Argh leave my poor page alone!

by Londonirishollie Mon 16 Jan 2012, 7:35 pm

Feel free to make an offer for Vernon mate

i can understand you not wanting to let Murray go, very good player and none of these games are played on sundays!!
