Waiting List
1. pullthestrings
2. Bathite

Nick Wood for LH maybe Matt? Been very good again this year. Miller from Sale worth a shout at FB

Wood in with a shout. And May I agree.

Miller been very good but not as good as Brown for me.

Waldrom and Easter both been good. As has Robshaw.

Wade is tempting but missed too much of the season.

Brown, Robson, Robshaw defs for me.

Mieres, Hayes, Brits, Ayerza, Naqa, Wood all in with good shout.

Naqa has missed majority of the season.
mieres been good. as has hayes. and tom johnson.

wouldnt put brits in, dont think he has been as good as last season.

ayerza is a good shout.

Thing is I can't think of another hook near Brits. He's not had best season but probably still ahead of competition.

It's been an odd season with WC & 6N, most of big name players haven't played massive amounts of rugby.

Will get back with all the deals soon, been manic few days in the office.

Would have Steve Mafi and Julian Salvi as best two backrowers in the league this year - Mafi has been absolutely immense.

You've got to have a fair few Exeter players in, especially their front five.

Mike Brown's been the standout back for me, can't believe how much he's improved this year - his speed has been incredible.

Pisi at 13? Would put Wade in even though he's missed 2-3 months this year, still the league's top try scorer, for a crap Wasps team and hasn't played anywhere near as many games as the others.

some good shouts there chris
would agree on salvi. and pisi. mafi been very good, close between him robshaw and johnson

1. Marler
2. Webber
3. Nieto
4. Botha
5. Robson
6. Robshaw
7. Salvi
8. Louw
9. Peel
10. Macleod
11. May
12. Bowden
13. Pisi
14. Agulla
15. Miller

1.Joe Marler
2.Chris Whitehead
3.Carlos Nieto
4.Aly Muldowney
5.George Robson
6.Tom Johnson
7.Chris Robshaw
8.Nick Easter

9.Danny Care
10.Charlie Hodgson
11.Johnny May
12.Owen Farrell
13.George Pisi
14.Marcel Garvey
15.Tom Homer

I'd go

1 Wood
2 Brits
3 Nieto
4 Garvey
5 Robson
6 Robshaw
7 Salvi
8 Easter
9 Peel
10 Evans
11 May
12 JTH ?? tough one. no real standouts.
13 Pisi
14 Wade
15 Brown

Bowden has been pretty rubbish since Xmas. Hasnt played much to be fair, had an amazing start to the season but done nothing since, maybe as he knew he was joining Tigers.

good shout Hodgson driver he has been very good.
Homer.....pooly??
Even as an Irish fan I wouldnt put Homer anywhere near it.

I'm not allowed to comment on Homer

Would probably have overall

1. Joe Marler (Quins)
2. Schalk Brits (Sarries)
3. Hoani Tui (Exeter)
4. Dave Attwood (Bath)
5. George Robson (Quins)
6. Steve Mafi (Tigers)
7. Julian Salvi (Tigers)
8. Rob Baxter (Exeter)
9. Danny Care (Quins)
10. Nick Evans (Quins)
11. Jonny May (Gloucester)
12. Jordan Turner Hall (Quins) / Anthony Allen (Tigers)
13. George Pisi (Saints)
14. Christian Wade (Wasps)
15. Mike Brown (Quins)

Toughest position by far no12 this season, think Allen would have walked it if he wasn't injured so much of the season - not sure that anyone has really stood out there, though JTH pretty much rules the Quins defence, so probably just give it to him.

Had to cheat a bit and put May on the wing to get him in the team - otherwise probably have Agulla at Tigers

Wood a landslide for me. I am marlers biggest fan but wood had his best season. Tui at 3 vs nieto hard to choose both been great.

Guys - I am going to be a massive pain in the backside, but have decided to keep Attwood - sorry for all those who have tried to sign him and put forward good deals!

Just that with Albacete gone for Rugby Championship and Calum Clark suspended I really wanted an enforcer type lock to cover me over then and I am losing more English in other deals, so dont want to lose Attwood.

Sorry!

Wonder where Gereghty will play for Irish next season?

10.Jarvis
12.Gereghty
13.JJ

10.Gereghty
12.Ansbro
13.JJ

haha Jarvis please no!!

Geraghty will be 10
We are getting a new 12

JJ and Ansbro will fight it out for 13

Shingler also an option at 10/12, seems better at 12 for me

You happy getting Gereghty back?

Could of done better, but also could of done a lot worse.
He was quality under Brian Smith last time so see how it goes.
At least he wont kick the ball away everytime we get it like Jarvis.
Should help bring the best out of our backs as well.
Playing with Tomas O'Leary will help him.

Montpellier have signed Hape, Beattie and Carraro
They must of bought Hape out of his contract which is good news for us.
More cash to spend on players!

The following are available for cash or player swaps. Players with dates of birth attached qualify for academies next season.

HK Scott Lawson (Scotland)
FL James Scaysbrook (England)
FL James Phillips (England)
HK Harry Allen (19/12/1991)
HK Rupert Freestone (23/04/1991)
PR Jared Saunders (18/09/1990)
SH Luke Baldwin (15/09/1990)
FH Jake Sharp (07/05/1991)
WG Marcus Watson (27/06/1991)

Dan Murphy v Tony Buckley is a match up on saturday. Perhaps the two worst props in the league.

there both huge as well
that will be awesome!

I'm looking for a th and a 7 guys.....

Right folks, I am think about the summer period and how we keep things ticking over until next season and structure foreign transfers and the squad size readjustments. Here is a timeline of what I am thinking.

May 26th - AP final result will be known, as will relegation and promotion from the Championship.

4th June - Foreign transfer market opens. (The 9 day gap between the final and transfer market opening will allow for time for SJE to get budgets up to date and the promoted/relegated team to work out his squad and what targets he has in the foreigns.)

1st July - Squads must comply with the limits for the new season.

5th/6th July - Summer tournament begins. How I intend on doing this is two pools of 6, with everyone playing everyone else in their pool once. Top 2 in each pool go into Cup SF's, 3rd/4th in each pool into Plate SF's and bottom 2 in each pool into Shield SF's. Tournament will have no player restrictions, and no tactics required, is solely there for people to try out new combinations. There will be the standard prediction bonuses which will enable people to continue to save for foreign transfers. There will be no penalty for not predicting.

31st August - Foreign transfer period ends.


Once SJE has the budgets up at the end of the season I will assess if cash injections are needed.

Thoughts???

Seems spot on pete.

Have you got anymore to add to the rules? or are you planning to. You said something about a rule with the loans situation.

Yeah, that one is a simple rule, there will be no cash loaned between teams.

An excellent rule.

As there's been more than one person asking about them I will post here to save having to post on lots of peoples pages.

Mullan and Lahiff are now not for sale unless it is part of a deal that sees me upgraded to a better loosehead (obviously with a loss elsewhere), as I have now sold Mtwarira so letting either go without a replacement would leave me light in that position.

Even though i started it I agree loans are awful. Agree with everything pete. Releasing carraro is a massive dilemma. Also releasing tuitopu if anyone wants hi

I just think it could cause unnecessary problems matt.

I think the game on the weekend will be massive. are you going??

I'm glad to see Addison and Brady at 13 and 14 they could be dangerous.

ooo Ospreys match or Falcons match.......decisions decisions....

Ulster cd Leinster on BBC2 NI

i put a few quid on falcons. they have a 6 point handicap as well.

love watching jamie helleur

Huge hitter but not much else. Quite like the new shirt

Watching Ulster v Leinster, what's the Falcons v Sarries score?

3-0 to Saracens

30 minutes gone and Goppereth hasn't passed yet.....

Do Newcastle ever play rugby? If this is what they are always like they don't deserve to be anywhere near the AP!

saracens dont either

both teams are clearly instructed how to play by management so have to stick with it.

It's so boring - only way either will score is from a knock on or error.

Falcons are so poor, but can see them beating wasps as they will bully us out of the game - this week v Bath we have 8 u21 players for us!

I can see us winning this here , the atmosphere is a great thing to have and tickets only being £10 for anywhere in the ground is a great help. Not much use trying to intimidate the likes of Brits and Joubert who were used to playing in front of 50,000 screaming saffers.

they got kennedy as well though!

What a brilliant try from the tahs!

Hope everyone saw the 26mph winds in my game when predicting - even though chris has just pointed it out to me lol

i saw it after posting my tactics and they were posted on main thread - didnt want to say anything to draw attention to my mistake there! Think I read it as 6mph winds at first

Could see delve starting he is a really talented player. Great for rebels in awful team.


Anyone see the stormers game just read match report length of pitch team try meant to be superb and de jongh great again

youngs and flood having stinkers for tigers
quins looking impressive though, scrum more than holding their own against tigers.
