Maybe a loan for the rest of the season to help me stay up!

I prefer permanent deals but could possible Hawkins, Smith or Tait go on loan for cash.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 4 Mar - 21:49

Possibly... How about:

Hawkins + Smith + 36(on loan for season)

Paice + Wilson

You lose a back up prop and get a quality 12 for season with Smith offering options at 13 and wing

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 4 Mar - 23:59

Any thoughts?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 5 Mar - 19:46

Did you have a think?

by pullthestrings Mon 5 Mar - 20:37

Which TH's are there? I don't think Wilson is any better than Ion or Raut to be honest. Looking to get a TH in using Corbs, Lahiff, Dermody..

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 5 Mar - 20:56

No probs fella, thought that deal would have improved your first XV and put you safely in mid table.

No issues thumbsup

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 6 Mar - 9:44

Can loan you Twelvetrees for season for 5m thumbsup

by Londonirishollie Tue 6 Mar - 13:33

I'm guessing you mean Jaque rather than Hendre?
I see him as the best 13 in the world. So would have to be huge.

The only player who comes close is Brussouw and he is probably only rated the 4th or 5th best 7 in the world (behind McCaw, Pocock, and Warburton at the very least).

I'd be looking at something like

Brussouw and Murray
for
Fourie and Dickinson

by **Ozzy3213** Tue 6 Mar - 15:05

I'll do Ollie Phillips for £8m mate.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 6 Mar - 15:14

I probably went in a bit high. But i do Broussouw and more in return. I can obviously add something to my side of the deal, but it would need to be a gain.

So would look something like this

Fourie and ????
for
Brussouw and ????

by CJB Tue 6 Mar - 21:51

Murray 4 Fasa + Taumpoenao

by CJB Tue 6 Mar - 22:27

Rooney?

by CJB Tue 6 Mar - 22:45

Because he'd start for you

So the deal would be 2 starters and a replacement prop who'd start.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 6 Mar - 22:55

Good to see you rate Nutley mate Wink

Got some good depth in the backrow these days so could afford to let him go permanetly if you want to do a deal. Bendy or Shingler both interest thumbsup

by Bathite Wed 7 Mar - 13:17

So then fella, what's your thought on the cup? I have no idea how seriously to take it

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 13:21

See anything for Paice?

by Bathite Wed 7 Mar - 14:13

Very similar thoughts. Probably rest 4/5 big names who have played a lot, but bed in new signings, so keep some consistency

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 14:21

Hodgson/Care is very much a no go.

Could do:

Hawkins + 36 or Care on loan for season + 3m

Paice

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 7 Mar - 14:26

If you are still interested in Ollie Phillips, I will do hiom as a straight swap for Mark Wilson in your academy.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Wed 7 Mar - 14:30

Id do Nutley in a straight swap for Wilson as well Whistle

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 7 Mar - 14:33

Feck off SJE!!!

by SirJohnnyEnglish Wed 7 Mar - 14:41

by pullthestrings Wed 7 Mar - 15:27

I wouldn't do that mate, sorry

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 17:04

I'd go big for Kaino Smile

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 17:06

Haha...

by Londonirishollie Wed 7 Mar - 18:26

Peel would need Hodgson involved, but Hodgson is now 2nd/3rd choice at Irish, so would need alot more as well.

Peel, and Jones
for
Hodgson, Paice and Shingler

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 18:37

Hawkins + ?

Paice + ?

Give me a list of players

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 19:00

Hawkins + Smith

Paice + ?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 19:06

Smith/Hufanga?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 7 Mar - 23:56

Paice is a good AP Hooker but rate Flood as top Int so can't see anything there mate

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 8 Mar - 14:48

Hawkins + Smith

Paice + Hufanga

?

by pullthestrings Thu 8 Mar - 17:54

Erm, mainly interested in Murray for Corbs.. really can't see anything else. For Mafi, what about Hudson?

by Bathite Fri 9 Mar - 8:55

I've put my cup team out mate, think its 6 first teamers rested in total

by Londonirishollie Fri 9 Mar - 23:44

Fluxy wrote:Not so sure that takes a lot from me, how about;

Hodgson + Shingler + Paice
=
Peel + MaCleod + Botha

I don't see any real gains there for me. Paice is a decent AP hooker, Botha is part of the best pack in the world, and plays pretty much 50/50 with Servat. McLeod is probably equal to Shingler but i am in more need of a steady 10 than a 12. And Peel is obviously better than Hodgson.

by pullthestrings Sat 10 Mar - 11:40

Can I loan Vickers then mate? Say £1 mil for 2 weeks?

by pullthestrings Sat 10 Mar - 11:56

You chancer.. whatever - fine

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 13 Mar - 12:43

Anything going in:

Croft + ?

Kaino + ?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 13 Mar - 12:52

No but he has other strengths that would suit your team, lineout being one & being a top class English player (need 4 starters) is another.

No probs

by pullthestrings Tue 13 Mar - 13:19

I've confirmed it mate.

Murray + Swinson + Fielden + Stegmann
=
Corbs + Mafi + Thompstone + Ojo

No interest in that enquiry mate.

Murray = Corbs
Swinson < Mafi
Fielden < Thommo
Stegmann < Ojo

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 13 Mar - 22:36

Any move on this?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 13 Mar - 22:42

Fair enough...could change Hufanga to somebody else?

by Driver Tue 13 Mar - 22:42

What for Brussouw?

by Driver Tue 13 Mar - 22:59

Aii he's on fire atm. Having to watch all my rugby by DL or stream as the rents has SS took out :'(

I'm after a ball winner to complete my back row!

by Driver Wed 14 Mar - 12:33

Mark Wilson in your academy is 22 mate

Berry + Flutey for Shingler?

by stnick88 Wed 14 Mar - 12:44

micky young interest you? can wait till his ban is over for any deal to go through.

interested in hodgson and shingler.

by Bathite Wed 14 Mar - 13:07

Got plenty of LHs, all EQ. Not asking for the world, cash/loan or swaps

Flatman
Catt
Beech
Golding

by Bathite Wed 14 Mar - 13:28

Oh and if you want a good lineout lock and leader......Stuart Hooper?

by stnick88 Wed 14 Mar - 14:51

who would you be interested in, added to young, for hodgson and shingler?

by 'Arry Spurs Wed 14 Mar - 18:14

Alright mate, sorry for the delayed reply. Make me some offers, Brussow and Kaino interest me.
