Can we make it Joel Hodgson instead of catterick?

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 9:54 pm

Im losing out too! Go on, make it Hodgson and we can deal. Golding not going to have much rating on here I recon sadly

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 10:17 pm

Ok, what's this sweetener? Beaumont?

by Bathite Wed 22 Feb 2012, 10:27 pm

Let's do it then, can you confirm an ill agree.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Feb 2012, 10:36 pm

What for Paice Flux?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Feb 2012, 10:52 pm

Not massivley keen on losing 36 mate, anything else?U

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Feb 2012, 10:59 pm

Hawkins + Agulla

Paice + Tait

Gives you a bit of talent out wide to compliment Cuthbert

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Feb 2012, 11:04 pm

You rate Tait higher than Agulla?!?! Even as a Falcons fan I find that odd mate lol

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Feb 2012, 11:11 pm

Not strange, mental lol.....I bet you Agulla was wishing he was playing Falcons second string instead of playing for Arg at the world cup Wink

by Driver Wed 22 Feb 2012, 11:28 pm

What for Heatcote?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 22 Feb 2012, 11:34 pm

How about:

Hawkins + Smith

Paice + ?

Smith would give you options at 11/13/14, be a good centre partner for Walds

by Londonirishollie Thu 23 Feb 2012, 12:43 am

Am interested in Shingler. Don't want to break the bank for him, because he would only be a squad player.

As you've got 2 tightheads on the bench (Wilson is a shocking LH) and a lack of experience at 10 at the moment maybe something like

Dickinson and McLeod
for
Mercey/Wilson and Shingler

McLeod has been first choice 10 for Sale in real life and is in good form.

by Londonirishollie Thu 23 Feb 2012, 12:58 am

If you're sure. I just thought his inexperience could count against him in such a pivotal position.

How about
Dickinson and Amesbury
for
Mercey and Shingler

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Feb 2012, 10:02 am

Anything for Paul Hodgson?

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Feb 2012, 11:17 am

Sorry mate, hadn't seen your offer. Going to pass on that as I can't see any gain for me whatsoever in it.

by pullthestrings Thu 23 Feb 2012, 1:10 pm

For Corbs I'd be looking for Murray..?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Thu 23 Feb 2012, 1:42 pm

Shingler still going mate? Would do Nutley for him?

by pullthestrings Thu 23 Feb 2012, 2:11 pm

Corbs + Ion + King
=
Fearns + Wilson + Waldlouck

==

Still can't do it.. Corbs is regular international now so would need Murray to lose him.

by pullthestrings Thu 23 Feb 2012, 2:19 pm

No, sorry mate. As I said to Bathite - no TH/LH in your squad bar Murray warrant losing Corbs..

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Feb 2012, 2:24 pm

No interest in Moody at all mate.

by CJB Thu 23 Feb 2012, 7:08 pm

I don't gain once

by CJB Thu 23 Feb 2012, 7:58 pm

Still don't see a gain

Enq

Out of interest how do you view this deal? I personally think Dickinson is better than Mercey who isn't even 2nd choice tighthead for saints. Schofield is better than Casey, MaCleod and Shingler are pretty even and Fourie is the best in the world in his position and Ansbro can't get into Scotland's team. I don't see where i make any gains in that deal.

by Londonirishollie Sat 25 Feb 2012, 10:54 pm

Sheridan, Mcleod, Leota and H.Fourie
for
Murray, Shingler, Ansbro and Mark Wilson

by Londonirishollie Sat 25 Feb 2012, 11:22 pm

How about

McLeod, Leota, Mike MacDonald
for
Shingler, Ansbro and Mercey

by Londonirishollie Sat 25 Feb 2012, 11:36 pm

I don't want to lose Kubs. He's a top class player who's avaliable all year round. And i don't rate Casey either.

McLeod and Leota and Burrell
for
Shingler and Ansbro

Leota is Sale's starting 13 and Burrell is a handy english 12, who has been held back due to injury but is getting back to fitness now.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 26 Feb 2012, 1:28 pm

What for Mercey?

by Londonirishollie Sun 26 Feb 2012, 4:05 pm

McLeod, Dickinson and Buckley
for
Shingler, Wilson and Mercey

by Londonirishollie Sun 26 Feb 2012, 4:48 pm

McLeod and Dickinson
for
Shingler and Wilson

by Londonirishollie Sun 26 Feb 2012, 7:45 pm

I could maybe add Marc Jones to give you a backup hooker of better quality. To make it

Dickinson, Jones and MacLeod
for
Shingler and Wilson

by Driver Sun 26 Feb 2012, 10:12 pm

What for Shingler?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun 26 Feb 2012, 10:17 pm

Give me a list of players around Shinglers level that interest you and lets see what we can do thumbsup

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun 26 Feb 2012, 10:27 pm

He would be 2nd choice for me so the likes of Strauss, Sharman, Sorenson, Nutley etc are all available for him mate

by stnick88 Sun 26 Feb 2012, 11:26 pm

what for ansbro?

by Driver Sun 26 Feb 2012, 11:32 pm

James Johnson + Riki Flutey

for

Euan Murrey + Steve Shingler

by **Ozzy3213** Tue 28 Feb 2012, 4:27 pm

If you are after a winger I can do Ollie Phillips in something for either Shingler or May.

by Bathite Tue 28 Feb 2012, 8:00 pm

I've got loads of LHs mate (not including Golding) feel free to make an offer, it is one area I have too much depth

by Driver Tue 28 Feb 2012, 10:09 pm

I'll sell you Danny Care for £18.5m

by Driver Tue 28 Feb 2012, 10:56 pm

Johnstone , Williams and Hamilton are all available

for

Murrey , Joe Robinson (Academy) and Shingler?

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 29 Feb 2012, 8:59 pm

You still after a 10 mate? I can do you Steenson for cash.

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 29 Feb 2012, 9:31 pm

Well I can do you Chris Budgen, who is primarily a tighthead but has been playing loosehead for the Chiefs recently really cheap (£3m).

I could also do you Nic Sesteret (£8m), Ollie Phillips (£5m), Mark Foster (£4m) or Matt Jess (£4m) if it's a winger you want.

by Bathite Wed 29 Feb 2012, 9:37 pm

You can also have a pop at:

Flatman
Catt
Beech

All LHs

by Londonirishollie Wed 29 Feb 2012, 10:11 pm

Dickinson and Amesbury
for
Wilson

by pullthestrings Thu 01 Mar 2012, 12:05 pm

Mate?

by prop_lyd Thu 01 Mar 2012, 3:04 pm

Out of them I'd probably only let Narraway go.

by Bathite Thu 01 Mar 2012, 3:23 pm

Hodgson + Fearn + Helleur
=
Claasens + Flatman + Carraro

-------

I can't see a single gain there mate at all, not sure how you think I would benefit

by prop_lyd Thu 01 Mar 2012, 4:15 pm

Being stingy it would have to be Vainikolo, Voyce or Balshaw

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 02 Mar 2012, 2:30 pm

Can't see what I gain there tbh mate.

Heathcote + Wilson

36 + ?

Could be a goer

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 02 Mar 2012, 4:12 pm

No probs
