Hi mate.

About your message for Shingler, Geragthy, Hape, Ansbro and Thompstone, Hodgson and Allinson.

I'm mostly interested in your tight 5 mate. So if you would be willing to take a hit there, I could improve your backs with the above. Maybe put something forward and I'll ponder it.

by **Ozzy3213** Tue 14 Feb 2012, 10:46 pm

Palmer + ???

for

Steenson + Hanks.

by stnick88 Tue 14 Feb 2012, 10:55 pm

can include waldouck

but couldnt really then include poff or rees

gopperth, lund/lipman and may
for
clegg , poff/rees and waldouck

dont have to include the backrowers, depends on how u see it,

by SirJohnnyEnglish Wed 15 Feb 2012, 9:23 am

Nutley is yours till the end of the season injuries permitting mate unless you want to pay a small fee (3m) to get rid of any callback clause

Let me know on my page and il stick it up on confirmations thumbsup

I'll leave it then mate, I thought you were after a 10.

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 15 Feb 2012, 10:23 am

That's why I was offering Steenson and a replacement lock. No worries though bud.

by stnick88 Wed 15 Feb 2012, 11:13 am

struggling without may really tbh

by stnick88 Wed 15 Feb 2012, 12:29 pm

its tempting but thing is there is a good chance in real life gopperth and fitzpatrick will be playing championship rugby next season so ratings might fall.

by stnick88 Wed 15 Feb 2012, 12:43 pm

ok 4 mil added and thats a deal

by pullthestrings Wed 15 Feb 2012, 1:27 pm

Mercey + Palmer + Eves + Shortland + Diggin
=
Ion + Casey + Shingler + Ansbro + Thompstone

==

Not really keen mate. Shingler and Ansbro both actively improve your back line, whereas DFiggin and Mercey don't. I was thinking:

Servat + Palmer + Eves + Shortland
=
Paice + Kennedy + Shingler + Ansbro

enq.

Also - any word on my enq for Barca?

by stnick88 Wed 15 Feb 2012, 4:48 pm

u wana confirm that deal?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 15 Feb 2012, 5:46 pm

Hit me....

Who interests you?

by stnick88 Wed 15 Feb 2012, 6:05 pm

sweet mate iv confirmed

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 15 Feb 2012, 6:08 pm

Haha....I'll leave it mate

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 15 Feb 2012, 6:15 pm

Give me a list of players.

If your looking for similar gains as that offer I can't get close tbh

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 15 Feb 2012, 7:12 pm

I'll leave it mate

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 16 Feb 2012, 8:33 am

Gareth Steenson and Ally Muldowny

for

James Hudson

Enq

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Feb 2012, 10:03 am

Grindal for Pasq + 3m?

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 10:45 am

Palmer + May + Shortland + Diggin
=
Kennedy + Shingler + Ansbro + Thompstone

==

Not keen mate. Ideally, I'd want two of Servat, Murray, Palmer, Mullar for which I could improve you two fold in the packs and include top replacements. Something similar to what I put to you.

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 11:16 am

Servat + Palmer + Eves + Shortland + Diggin
=
Paice + Casey + Shingler + Ansbro + Thompstone

==

I'd be happy with that mate, if one from the last three was scraped (eg Shingler/Eves, Shortland/Ansbro and Diggin/Thompstone). Are you able to do that?

by Fluxy Thu 16 Feb 2012, 11:21 am

I could do with all the improvements I can get in the backs. I could change one to May if that helps? But stick on confirms when you're happy

I meant can you drop one of the elements of the deal?

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 11:58 am

I'm willing to do:

Servat + Palmer + Eves + Diggin
=
Paice + Casey + Shingler + Thompstone

but otherwise it's two gains and three losses...

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 12:13 pm

OK mate, drop Shingler or Thompstone?

Happy either way, so confirm when you've decided.

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 12:29 pm

Nice one mate

by stnick88 Thu 16 Feb 2012, 12:45 pm

Casey is retiring at the end of this season mate

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 12:47 pm

Umm, not sure. Kennedy is EQ and a primary lineout option.

Was unsure to begin with, me losing Servat and Palmer during the 6N and all, but losing Kennedy would make it undoable (a word)

OK with that?

by stnick88 Thu 16 Feb 2012, 1:04 pm

know you only just signed him but what for shingler?

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 11:16 pm

What for Hodgson mate?

==

Diggin?

by pullthestrings Thu 16 Feb 2012, 11:36 pm

No thanks mate.

by pullthestrings Fri 17 Feb 2012, 11:35 am

Diggin
=
Hodgson

==

I didn't really mean a straight swap, can you chuck in a little gain? Hodgson has int experience, Diggin doesn't.

by CJB Fri 17 Feb 2012, 11:36 am

Allen > May
Lund = Fasa IMO

Also, are you willing to listen to offers on; Mullan, Mostert, Haskell and Monye?

Haskell needs Brussow

The rest can go a bit easier but I still want quite a bit for my stars

by pullthestrings Fri 17 Feb 2012, 4:17 pm

No I didn't see it mate. Will deal on:

Diggin + Hogg
=
Hodgson + Grey

If you're happy.

by Bathite Sat 18 Feb 2012, 2:28 pm

Ok mate, looking for a real gain elsewhere though, really rate Bendy, be sad to see him go, hence my move for PDJ.

Any chance of Muller, could include Shaw?

Bendy + Shaw
4
Muller + J.Hodgson
?

Any interest here?

by Londonirishollie Mon 20 Feb 2012, 3:41 pm

Paice + Murray + Ansbro + Stegmann/Cuthbert
=
Botha + Kubs + Fourie + Amesbury

enq

------------------------------------

I see Botha being alot better than Paice, Kubs and Murray pretty even especially considering Kubs is avaliable all year round and Murray is missing during the 6 nations and AI's. Fourie is probably the best outside centre in the world and the Amesbury Cuthbert/Steggman part of the deal improves me only very slightly.

by pullthestrings Tue 21 Feb 2012, 10:30 am

Mate, you've gone past the deadline for Barcelona's budget. Are you still keen? Not been on much.

by Bathite Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:22 pm

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 12:38 pm

I could improve your backs quite a bit I reckon, I'm after Golding, Muller, Hudson, Lund (Brossouw, assume NFS though)

Wilson, Flatman, Catt, Shaw, Moody, Heathcote, Williams, Hipkiss, Abendanon

Could be up for grabs

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 12:48 pm

Golding + Hudson + Catterick
=
Wilson + Shaw + Bendy

-------

Its a good start mate, but think they are all losses to me there. Can you do Muller for Hudson? I could justify the losses on the other two then and would probably deal

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 1:14 pm

I'm struggling to see a gain then mate. Golding a good player, but lacks form for a long time, whilst Wilson EPS. Catterick huge step down from Bendy

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 1:17 pm

Heathcote available, Lund/Moody perhaps and Muller of course

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 2:05 pm

Golding + Hudson + Lund + Clegg
=
Wilson + Shaw + Moody + Heathcote

Wilson>
Shaw>= only age hold him back
Moody>= as above
Heathcote<= think heathcote is better player, in form and starting for Bath as well

Can't see a gain mate

Mercey + Muller + Lund + Clegg
=
Wilson + Shaw + Moody + Heathcote

Enq?

Assuming Mercey<Golding, so better for you, but Muller gives me the gain I need

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 2:10 pm

Can't see it happening without Muller, just losing too much, wouldn't start Mercey or Golding. Shaw, Moody, Heathcote all start for me and Wilson will during 3Ns

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 22 Feb 2012, 2:28 pm

Shingler does mate, talk to me.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Wed 22 Feb 2012, 2:31 pm

If Shingler is going id be interested. Could do with some cover at 10/12 thumbsup

by stnick88 Wed 22 Feb 2012, 3:37 pm

Mas nfs mate

young would need ansbro or shingles involved

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 5:15 pm

Ok, thats a real tempter, let me think it over

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Feb 2012, 5:19 pm

Be interested in Muller & Lund mate
