I can't see anything mate. Would need a hooker in the deal and imo all of yours are a considerable step down from Bismarck and I don't really want to weaken my front row.

Bakkies would need faletau.

Want to get another top 8 in and i have too many 2 nd rows.

Bakkies is flying out to join the SA squad now top 14 has finished

Never thought I would ever look to sell bakkies but I have etzbeth ,gray, Pierre, robson and palmer who can all play 4.

Overloaded in the lock department

I could include Burgess + in a deal for Faletau...

What/Who for Kruger mate?

not often we've agreed recently on players! You are right about Etzebeth though, I did say about his carrying a couple of weeks back.

Can't sell Bismarck mate, think he showed why yesterday. Kitch I could do as a straight swap for Kruger. I get the better player, you get the EQ option.

Couldn't do that one mate, Mullan will start for me in international periods whereas Waller wouldn't.

Couldn't lose EQ starters really as am light in that area as it is.

Clerc + Jordaan
For
Mitchell + S.Williams?

He's started every game for SA u20 at wing, plays centre also.
Really? Prefer Clerc myself...

Anything you could suggest?

Louw not a player am really looking to sell mate, see him as crucial to my options.

Obviously every player has a price though.

robshaw and parling?

5 m thorn ?

I've been slightly lucky with Cane! Wish England threw their youngsters in like NZ do! I guess theirs are slightly better than ours mind!

Have you done your weekend away to Nottingham yet? Am looking for some tips on the drinking front if you have! Could be a very messy weekend!

Hope she's ok mate.

I think the hotel is pretty central, just the stag isnt the best drinker, so think it could be an early one for him!

Glad to hear that mate.

I've already bought the bottles of sambuka - he stupidly chose to do paintball for the pre-drinks event. I know where I will be shooting him already!

Barritt?

just seeing if anything had changed

sorry mate, but none of those would be for sale at all as all young and have some great potential.

I've tried to build my squad around youngsters with potential and who can play in a number of positions - been lucky that Tuilagi is being played at 12&13, same as Fofana.

Do you know what your best team is yet? I'm trying to work out who I am going to put out during the 6Nations, I lose so many players then - think it would end up being something like:

1. Tongan guy
2. Webber (hopefully)
3. Kepu/Hayman
4. No idea!
5. Albacete
6. Clark
7. Cane
8. Messam
9. Simpson
10. Hernandez
11. Siviatu
12. Giteau
13. de Villiers
14. Wade
15. Cipriani

It's better than last year's team but know there will be some really strong teams around!

Nfs simply due to the fact I am not currently after cash and he fits into my junior academy as he is with Quins. Don't have space for the academy players I'd swap him for.

Maestri/Kruger....

Pooly are you playing your rc side ??

If not I will change mine. Wanted to test like vs like or
No point in game for me. Let me
Know and I can adjust as necessary

Would
Need wc nh centre. Like
Me you don't have one.

Your Joc kahui type versatile
Players worth double
With 40 squad.

Kahui was
Due to play fb for ab's under Hansen before injury.

Can't see why when dagg is best in world. Hansen said many times he wants
3 fb/wings so Jane kahui dagg

Interesting theory. For me like a power wing with 2 footballers ie a gear, savea type with dagg Guildford kahui Jane smith. Offers
balance and more options

Got summer tourn completely wrong


What do you want to do?? Let's make it so we both learn about our teams.

I will either walk most games next year
Or sink as have a few players who are
Injury prone or form prone.

Gear, carter, steenkamp, Pierre, ferris, hari, burger, kahui all high impact and potentially injured for a season when they get injured.

Getting rid of bakkies was a big call. Love heaslip but bakkies still best 4 in world and available every week. Was great for Toulon at business end

Sorry mate not looking to sell either Paice an EQ starter for me and Retalick in the academy handy player for the season

Ah shiite , I'm the worst speller in the world lol

Edinburgh game? You going? £10 a ticket

Friday 17th August , 7:45 ko

Give us a shout if your going through fella,

I'm trying to Russell up a few of my mates for the 10th August day. Falcons vs Doncaster , Consett vs An American team and then another Falcons team vs Leeds.

Not sure on this but how about burger for juan smith ?

Give me a couple of hours on this one. Just need to think about this.

Basically swapping my favourite player in world for my other favourite player in the world

Think I will leave it



http://m.news24.com/sport24/Rugby/Super15/Juan-Smith-out-for-the-year-20120403

Such a Shame. No return date anywhere on web so too risky. A coin toss on whether he comes back. Legend hope he does

Had seen it before but could not find anything new which is odd

Thing is ferris is a fibre glass warrior also so having 2 could be issues although Alberts a monster these days. Will have a think as I believe smith will be back and maybe as 8

It's a tough one burger one of best players in world but for
Me juan smith best player in world. Better than mccaw and carter Just been out so long.

Will think on it and let you know

Hello mate.

What kind of teams shall we put out this week. Do you want rc, 6n etc.

Just want to make it a game where we learn something ?

sounds good lets go for that

I'm going to stick with what I have mate, am hoping for Kitchener to have a bit of a breakthrough season at Tigers this time around.

You'll have to make me an offer for him as I cant see anything

I'm not particular targeting any position. Not being awkward just not really sure what I'd require to let him go.

Reckon he will come back to union?

http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,16024_7883694,00.html

It must all be about the money, he should keep ratings for you for a fair while though? He could have become the best no12 in the world, was awesome v Ireland.

There;s another guy called Israel Foloa who was awesome in Aussie rugby league, was meant to become the next star of union and then got offered mega bucks to try Aussie rules - think he's sucked at that by all accounts too!

I'm interested in Kruger & Parling mate.

What for Kruger?

Would you be interested in something involving Elsom for Kruger?

Burgess for Kruger?

Very suprised you don't fancy that!

Really don't want to sell Kitch mate, think it could be a big season for him at Leicester, but everyone has a price. Would really need to be part of a bigger deal that involved Cruden.

No worries bud. What sort of side you sticking out this week?

What you thinking?

Difficult to know what to do with him really. Seen people say if he comes back firing he could be as good as Morgan, but know he spilts opinion. And I have cover at 8 all year round.
