Like wise either 3/7

by CJB Mon 07 May 2012, 12:05 am

Morgan is a different class.

by CJB Mon 07 May 2012, 12:12 am

I have but I've also seen Morgan play and look totally at home at International level. Such raw talent, I can honestly see him up there as one of the best 8's by the next World Cup, hopefully before then

by Bathite Mon 07 May 2012, 10:23 am

Kaino + Corbs + Wilson + Hudson
=
SOB + Catt + Franks + Attwood

-----

I'd be more tempted with a gain at 10, rather than gain at 6

by Driver Mon 07 May 2012, 2:54 pm

Leaves me with out a tighthead mate

by Driver Mon 07 May 2012, 9:35 pm

I'm not interested but what about this offer?

Evans + Johnstone + Kvesic
=
Heathcote + Corbs + Brussouw

by pullthestrings Tue 08 May 2012, 12:57 pm

Hi mate

With regards to your enquiries, I'm not really keen. I'd need Kaino/Pienaar involved, can include adequate replacements?

by pullthestrings Tue 08 May 2012, 1:05 pm

Kaino + May
=
Hape + Gibson

enq.

by pullthestrings Tue 08 May 2012, 1:32 pm

Kaino + Swinson + Mercey + Hufanga
=
Gibson + Mafi + Lahiff + Ojo//Thomp

==

If you could cut that down a bit I would be interested. I don't have any real interest in Swinson/Mercey. What about

Kaino + Tait
=
Gibson + Thomp

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 08 May 2012, 8:59 pm

Deacon for Corbs?

by Driver Tue 08 May 2012, 9:08 pm

Evans + Robson + Skivs + Brookes
=
Heathcote + Hudsom + Corbs

Drop Skivs from it and it's a deal fella

by Driver Tue 08 May 2012, 9:10 pm

From me?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 08 May 2012, 9:11 pm

Less so, what were you thinking?

by Driver Tue 08 May 2012, 9:12 pm

No deal dude

by Driver Tue 08 May 2012, 9:14 pm

Give me 20 minutes to have a think about it.

I'll leave Paice mate

by Driver Wed 09 May 2012, 10:07 pm

Thought i'd replied bud , I'm going to keep hold of Nick Evans as he's probs the best 10 after Carter on the game.

by Driver Wed 09 May 2012, 10:11 pm

Not really a bad problem to have though is it.

Glourious running rugby weather = Evans
Shotty rain = Farrell

by Driver Sat 12 May 2012, 10:53 pm

Not interested in losing Evans now mate.

by Londonirishollie Tue 15 May 2012, 12:11 am

Doesn't interest me that.
I've completely changed who i'm going for in foreigns so no real interest in Kaino.

And for me
Wilko >> Heathcote
Thomas > Mercey (His move to Saints has stopped his development he's 3rd choice there at the moment whereas Thomas is 21 and a Saxon already.)
Hodgson >> Mathie but he would still be second choice for me so not worth the losses.

by pullthestrings Tue 15 May 2012, 6:22 pm

Hi mate, I'm not sure if you remember exactly but our previous deal was made on the basis you'd give £3 mil after predo's. Did you ever deduct it from your budget?

Pooly, perhaps you can help with this? I have my budget as £15.5 mil including this £3 mil.

by pullthestrings Tue 15 May 2012, 6:25 pm

I'm keen for a deal but it will have to be for Kaino/Pienaar?

by Bathite Tue 15 May 2012, 6:32 pm

I'd be up for a deal with Corbs and/or Heathcote

I'll have forgot to do it, I'll adjust budgets now

by Bathite Wed 16 May 2012, 8:51 am

Yeah I know, that's the difficulty! I'd be happy to let most go for the right deal, keen on EQs and could take a drop in quality for them. Franks and Dagg probably the only ones NFS

Corbs + Heathcote + Waldouck
4
Catt + Donald + Laulala
?

by CJB Wed 16 May 2012, 10:32 pm

Barritt capable OC, only miss em both in the AI's

Pienaar, Brussow, Corbs, Kaino mostly interest me

by CJB Wed 16 May 2012, 10:45 pm

Yep

Shiells + Bendy 4 Arscott + Tomasz

by CJB Wed 16 May 2012, 10:53 pm

Shiells isn't that good

by CJB Wed 16 May 2012, 11:03 pm

If we are talking potential I think Tomasz definitely has more, raw prospect.

Not really sure what else to offer

by CJB Wed 16 May 2012, 11:17 pm

We've tried them offers never seem to come off

by CJB Wed 16 May 2012, 11:21 pm

He's the one that fits most in my team

Corbs...I have Marler....hardly any difference
Kaino...I have Haskell...you know my feelings
Pienaar...I have Genia...Genia is better

by CJB Wed 16 May 2012, 11:27 pm

I'm off to bed, will try to think of an offer but considering where we are both strong I think it is unlikely

by Londonirishollie Wed 16 May 2012, 11:34 pm

Not a bad offer just think the difference between Wilson and Kubs is too much. I also prefer Miller to bendy and Shaw and schofield is pretty close as well IMO so I think I'll say no. I will try and think of something

by pullthestrings Thu 17 May 2012, 1:04 pm

Bendy + Hufanga + Shaw + Walds
=
Delon + Ojo + Mafi + King

==

Mate really not keen on losing those players. It's only Kaino and Pienaar that interest me.

Kaino + Hudson
=
Palmer + Gibson

enq.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 19 May 2012, 5:50 pm

What for Corbs?

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 19 May 2012, 5:51 pm

Stankovich + George Lowe

Corbs + ?

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 19 May 2012, 6:27 pm

He's been injured....

No probs

by pullthestrings Sat 19 May 2012, 11:22 pm

Where are we with the deal?

by Driver Sun 20 May 2012, 4:19 pm

Sorry mate but i'm not taking 3 loses for something which might not be a gain in 6 months time. Gill should be Wales LH in the next year.

by ChequeredJersey Sun 20 May 2012, 4:40 pm

Sorry I think I'd rather keep each of my own players in that deal. Ransom is available for equivalent academy talent. I'm worrying about the lack of academy players giving me a disadvantage in terms of total players available

by pullthestrings Sun 20 May 2012, 4:43 pm

Tuilagi + shaw + Kaino + Hufanga
=
Ojo + mafi + Gibson + Thompstone

enq.

by Driver Sun 20 May 2012, 8:07 pm

Not interested in doing giant deals fella

by Driver Sun 20 May 2012, 8:12 pm

Not interested in that offer dude.

by ChequeredJersey Mon 21 May 2012, 8:42 am

Ransom isn't going. Smit I can negotiate on. I just realised you have Heathcote, is he for sale?

by pullthestrings Tue 22 May 2012, 10:52 am

Delon, Lahiff, Yarde and Simpson

==

Would really be looking at Pienaar/Corbs to be honest mate.

by Londonirishollie Wed 23 May 2012, 9:47 pm

Wilko would need a deal involving Broussouw or Pineaar
Kubs would need Corbs
Schofield would need Hudson

Not neccesarily straight swaps but losing these players would need a decent return for me.

I don't want to lose Miller at all, he will remain an English starter for me.

by prop_lyd Fri 25 May 2012, 11:47 am

He could be but he'd take Broussouw/Pienaar to get him away!

by Londonirishollie Sun 27 May 2012, 4:37 pm

Wilko and Charles
for
Corbs and Paice
