36 would need Servat involved I think mate

by Maj_Ballbag Tue 24 Jan 2012, 10:43 pm

Hi Fluxy, your a lucky manager like me in charge of a quality club.

Even though I am still looking at how I want to change my team I can tell you now I will not except that offer. I can only see that deal making my team worse. I want to improve my backs so Gopperth really isn't going to help.

Thanks for the enquiry though.

by Maj_Ballbag Tue 24 Jan 2012, 10:52 pm

Let me see how I get on with Cruden if I get him as I think I will as fair offer, then Mieres could be a deal we could make.

by stnick88 Wed 25 Jan 2012, 9:11 am

what for gopperth mate?

by CJB Wed 25 Jan 2012, 5:48 pm

Percival, Fa'asavalu, Arr, Carlisle, Hopper, Allen, Grove;

Percival NFS, my front five cannot get worse!
Lund + Murray 4 Tauempaononaono + Fasa
Pasqualin and gain for Arr
Which Carlisle?
Hopper and Allen I both really like but could leave
Grove could leave...deal for Hudson?

Would like a big un for Palmer perhaps
Fasa + Percival + Arr + Hopper + Grove + Carlisle 4 Palmer + Lund + Pasqualin + Catterick + May + Eves
Not really sure about if I could do this exact deal just chucking names out

by Londonirishollie Sat 28 Jan 2012, 9:57 pm

Kub would need a deal involving Murray.

Gaskell i don't want to lose, because of his versatiliy, he's eq and only going to get better.

Would only consider losing him if i had a deal that was really favourable to me.

Enq?

I don't see this improving my team. Murray is probably rated slightly higher than Kub, but Kub is available all year round whereas, Murray is missing for 6 nations and AI's. Gaskell is the saxons captain so is worth more than Hudson, and he is also versatile. I'll be honest and say i know very little about Fitzpatrick, but i know Tuitupou does a job for me very well, so wouldn't let him go for Fitzpatrick.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 29 Jan 2012, 11:01 pm

What for Cattrick Flux?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 29 Jan 2012, 11:33 pm

Would need more than Cattrick to lose any of those mate...

Cattrick + 8m for Murphy

Enq

by CJB Sun 05 Feb 2012, 12:55 am

I need a lock involved or Murray

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 06 Feb 2012, 9:31 pm

Very interested in Servat & Brussow Smile

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 06 Feb 2012, 9:46 pm

Good response lol

I love Brussow mate and think he's a better 7 than Warbs but I think Warbs is a perfect foil for Croft and I don't think Brussow would be (prob never get picked on but personal thing).

Little bit of interest in Palmer, what you after for him?

by stnick88 Tue 07 Feb 2012, 9:59 am

by Driver Sun 12 Feb 2012, 4:46 pm

He's been injured mate. He's just came back in the last few weeks

by Driver Sun 12 Feb 2012, 4:50 pm

It won't that much , it usually only affects when they have been out for a few months.

by stnick88 Sun 12 Feb 2012, 4:51 pm

garvey nfs

no interest in manning or may

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 12 Feb 2012, 4:54 pm

Dont see anything in that for me mate

by Bathite Sun 12 Feb 2012, 5:04 pm

Prefer both of mine by quite a way mate

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 5:04 pm

Servat + Gopperth + Lund + Hudson
=
BdP + Cruden + Johnson + Hanks

Nothing really opens my eyes there tbh.

Really I would only want Murray, Hudson, Palmer and Lund, two of which you won't sell.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 5:11 pm

But you are including Du Plessis he is not for sale unless the right deal comes along.

I think I will leave it, im struggling to find something tbh.

by pullthestrings Sun 12 Feb 2012, 6:02 pm

Casey, Gibson or Thompstone?

==

Hudson? Diggin.. Stuggling to see how I'd lose Gibson mate.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 7:38 pm

I see no deal at all sorry.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 7:57 pm

Lund + Gopperth
for
Treviranus + Mieres

Enquiry Only.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 8:12 pm

Not losing Johnson.

Palmer/Muller + Gopperth
for
Hayes + Mieres/Cruden

Best I can do.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 8:26 pm

3 for 3 offers are never fair, I have decided to cut them out altogether.

In the above, I gave you a rising star of New Zealand Rugby, who will be a massive gain on Gopperth, while I gain in the second row where I want a strong partnership.

You have depth at second row anyway, if you let Palmer or Muller go you cans still rotate, Hudson with Palmer or Hudson with Muller, plus you would have decent back up in Hayes and Swinson.

The deal would certaintly give you better control to your backs, if you have Cruden rather than Gopperth.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 10:52 pm

Your doing 3's and 5's.

Palmer/Muller + Gopperth
for
Hayes + Cruden

All im gonna do, a gain each there.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 11:07 pm

No 3's no 5's no 7's lol.

My above stands really can't see anything more tbh, there is a gain each and you will still have a good second row, if you decide to lose either Palmer or Muller.

by sexton_style Sun 12 Feb 2012, 11:28 pm

Nope.

Gopperth + Palmer/Muller
for
Cruden + Hayes/Hanks

It is the fairest im offering, you will still have a decent second row, while you gain at 10.

by sexton_style Mon 13 Feb 2012, 12:18 am

I just can't find the players to fit the bill for me.

Cuthbert + Gopperth + Lund + Palmer
=
Camacho + Cruden + Johnson + Hanks

Gopperth 4 Cruden - I would do
Lund 4 Johnson - Johnson can play 8, not keen
Palmer 4 Hanks - I would do
Cuthbert 4 Camacho - Merrr bore

Gopperth + Palmer
for
Cruden + Hanks

It's perfect mate one gain each, neither of us will lose EQ players gets me a good second row, while you get quality at 10. As your backs in fairness do lack quality, and you have no real quality control at fly-half.

by sexton_style Mon 13 Feb 2012, 12:31 am

I see the above perfect though fluxy.

Two gains each, I get a solid second row.

You get a better fly half to pull the strings.

Im trying to work round a way, as complicated and frustrating as it may look.

Gopperth + Palmer
for
Cruden + Hanks

We don't lose out on EQ, one gain each.

Take it or leave it fluxy.

by CJB Mon 13 Feb 2012, 12:59 am

Mercey, Murray, Lund, Welch, Hodgson, Fielden, Palmer, Brussow are interests

Haskell or Mullan need Palmer or Brussow

by sexton_style Mon 13 Feb 2012, 1:03 am

Well my offer was fair one gain each so I don't see anything wrong with that.

Gopperth + Lund/Cuthbert/Eves

I don't feel I gain, if I include Johnson, Nacewa or Shoemark on top of Gopperth 4 Cruden.

If it was...

Gopperth + Palmer/Brussow
for
Cruden + Hanks/Croft

It would be one gain each, surely you can see what im getting at and where im coming from?

by CJB Mon 13 Feb 2012, 1:05 am

It's a really good offer but I think I prefer Fasa; chuck in £5m?

by pullthestrings Mon 13 Feb 2012, 2:14 pm

Yes mate, would prefer to sell Ansbro out of the two.

Ansbro + Ion
=
Murray + May?

enq.

by stnick88 Tue 14 Feb 2012, 4:06 pm

clegg and rees/poff

gopperth

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 14 Feb 2012, 4:11 pm

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 14 Feb 2012, 4:18 pm

by stnick88 Tue 14 Feb 2012, 7:39 pm
