Anything for Mafi?

by Driver Sat 09 Jun 2012, 12:11 am

Easter and Brooke's for Corbs?

by Londonirishollie Sat 09 Jun 2012, 12:13 am

What for Corbs and Abendanon?

Something along the lines of

Cueto, Tuitupou and ???
for
Corbs and Abendanon

by Driver Sat 09 Jun 2012, 12:16 am

Who will you add if I add Lindsey? I'm happy with the deal just need a bit part to keep my numbers up lol

by Driver Sat 09 Jun 2012, 1:23 am

Where we at fella?

by Driver Sat 09 Jun 2012, 5:12 am

Improves you at 8 and gives you two pretty highly thought of youngsters pal.

Can just be Corbs by himself if you want?

by Driver Sat 09 Jun 2012, 3:38 pm

Sweet i'll confirm it.

I got in from work this morning planning to watch the NZ game in my room and next thing i knew they we 60 minutes in so i just give up and went to sleep haha

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 10 Jun 2012, 10:26 pm

Scott Wilson + Brookes for Murphy?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 10 Jun 2012, 10:39 pm

What for Brookes...realistically?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 10 Jun 2012, 10:46 pm

So Lowe, 36 etc???

I'd need more than Brookes obviously

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 10 Jun 2012, 10:57 pm

How about Gibson added to Brookes?

Deacon needs Etzebeth involved, 36 I'm quite keen on keeping at the minute I think.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 10 Jun 2012, 11:11 pm

I wouldn't do Fasa for Gibson?!?

Brookes for Lowe? Are you serious lol....Lowe is currently in SA with England, Brookes is 4th choice TH at Tigers!

by ChequeredJersey Sun 10 Jun 2012, 11:51 pm

Ransom for Brookes enq?

by Driver Mon 11 Jun 2012, 12:10 am

Hit me with a offer , would need to be a monster deal

by ChequeredJersey Mon 11 Jun 2012, 12:11 am

Or Wikson for Ransom

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon 11 Jun 2012, 8:17 am

Sorry mate would need to be a fairly big gain for me to lose Myler. Hes available all year, highly rated and EQ. Can we get the likes of Cory Jane or Pieneer into a deal?

by Driver Mon 11 Jun 2012, 2:48 pm

Got a monster offer for Evans yet pal?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon 11 Jun 2012, 9:52 pm

Sorry mate can't see any gain for me. See that deal as a big loss

Nutley >= Wilson
Myler >> Shingler
Ashton >> Ojo
Foden > Jane (Jane the better winger but Foden the better fullback and EQ. If I lost Foden I would have to play Jane fullback)

by Driver Mon 11 Jun 2012, 10:16 pm

Don't want to lose Robshaw fella to be honest.

by prop_lyd Tue 12 Jun 2012, 9:30 am

Lawson and Narraway could possibly go but would take quite a bit to get them!!

by prop_lyd Tue 12 Jun 2012, 9:52 am

JSD's one of my experienced backline to help the kids so if he were to go I'd need a pretty experienced back back

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 12 Jun 2012, 12:07 pm

You can have a look back if you want mate but I've never rated Myler on level with Shingler. Foden is top 5 in the world at fullback Jane isn't so thats a step down for me. Jane may be better on the wing then Ashton but thats still leaving me with 1 gain for 2/3 losses and I can't particularly afford to give 4 EQ players away for 2 in return especially when it includes 2 of my best EQ starters

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 12 Jun 2012, 10:24 pm

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

I've never rated him on Mylers level and with SBW on the books he would be 3rd choice now so definately not a go-er for me.

Would you do Brussow = Tom Wood & Ben Nutley?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Thu 14 Jun 2012, 2:31 pm

Is there anything in this mate?

by Driver Thu 14 Jun 2012, 2:55 pm

Any interest in Farrell?

by Driver Thu 14 Jun 2012, 3:05 pm

Bruss + Heathcote

For

Kvesic + Farrell + £10m

by Driver Thu 14 Jun 2012, 4:03 pm

I'd have to lose the £10m if it was Evans and i'm not too keen because Evans is key to my team , where as Farrell doesn't fit my game plan too much am just a huge fan of his.

by Driver Thu 14 Jun 2012, 4:13 pm

Actually in what may be the gamble of the season i'll deal on

Brussouw + Heathcote

for

Kevesic + Evans

by Driver Thu 14 Jun 2012, 4:17 pm

I'll hold off a till tomorrow , plenty of bids coming in.

by Driver Thu 14 Jun 2012, 4:20 pm

See what else comes in first fella , only fair.

by Fluxy Thu 14 Jun 2012, 4:20 pm

No problem

by SirJohnnyEnglish Thu 14 Jun 2012, 4:32 pm

Brussow & Heathcote
for
Woods, Nutley and Myler??

by Bathite Thu 14 Jun 2012, 5:44 pm

Whitehead +Mercey
=
Catt/Golding + Perenise

---

Not sure what you reckon my gain is there mate? don't need whitehead as I've got Tolofua now as my young back up. If you could get Welch or Gibson involved, I'd be keen

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:10 am

Is there anything that could be done for Brussow then mate using Woods and Nutley as part of the deal?

by Driver Sun 17 Jun 2012, 9:47 pm

No deal fella.

by LukeLovesLuka Mon 25 Jun 2012, 2:18 pm

Think i'm stronger as I am mate.

Interest in a Scaysbrook/Easter deal?
You look like your set on 8's and a bit short of flankers...?

by Driver Mon 25 Jun 2012, 3:52 pm

What for Grey?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:32 pm

Would need to have Pienaar involved mate

by stnick88 Wed 27 Jun 2012, 10:02 am

JJ nfs mate.
wannenburg would need gibson or easter involved

by LukeLovesLuka Fri 29 Jun 2012, 1:39 pm

Doesn't overly interest me mate, sorry.

I'd need Jane invoved I think mate looking at the other options, otherwise i'm losing that quality I have at the minute.

by Londonirishollie Sat 30 Jun 2012, 1:38 am

Goosen need something involving Eztebeth.
Could do

Goosen and Schofield
for
Heathcote and Eztebeth

Both get one EQ player and the best player in there positions for their ages in the world (goosen and ezt).

by Driver Sat 30 Jun 2012, 2:09 am

I'd only lose nev for Eztebeth

by Driver Sat 30 Jun 2012, 2:21 am

Not too keen on a big deal

How about

Evans + Kohn

For

Heathcote + Etzebeth

Final offer

by Driver Sat 30 Jun 2012, 2:52 am

Confirm it fella.

by ChequeredJersey Sat 30 Jun 2012, 3:36 am

Anything for Nev?

by ChequeredJersey Sat 30 Jun 2012, 11:58 am

Nev and Whitehead
For
Smit and Hodgson

Enq?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 30 Jun 2012, 12:48 pm

Quick offer for after you have sorted your squad out as your losing some depth.

Wood and Nutley = Brussow??

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 30 Jun 2012, 7:51 pm

Sorry mate with Etz gone can't see any deal with Lawes going im out for Brussow

On Nutley/Wilson both similar levels at the moment but Nutley covers the whole backrow, looks to have more potential going forward and can sit in my academy for another year so I'll hold on to him thumbsup

by LukeLovesLuka Sat 30 Jun 2012, 8:00 pm

Depends what the ? is I guess...who'd you have in mind?

by ChequeredJersey Sun 01 Jul 2012, 1:19 am

How about Nev and Easter for Joubert and Hodgson? Depends what you look for in an eight
