most players who arent english!

only untouchables are castro, coetzee, evans and mac.

JP could be sold.
He is probably one of the best wingers in the world this year though so cant let him go cheap.

Any ideas?

Interested in pdj/brussouw/williams

Man....why pick on my backrow?!

Didn't you try this deal not so long ago, nothing changed

Cruden, JOC, Franks and EQ interest me

I know.

PDJ, Parling, Robshaw, Youngs, Flood interest me all to different extents

I'd rather have Kitch. Quite a bit younger and not a huge amount between them. Kitch should be better

Clearly

Anything for Brad Thorn mate?

I'm keen on him as I need a short term fix, but wouldn't go OTT for him as I would imagine the next Super XV season would be his last. Any suggestions on players you are interested in?

Need English back would need Robshaw or flood which is unfair, nobody else interests me. Pdj and benjamin on a downer. Could do wood for Goode ?

Very true. You desperately need a lh but hard to shed a back , I am light at centre but can't lose a forward

Sorry mate none of my locks are for sale.
Willing to listen for offers for Addison but preferbly would want an academy age player because of the squad limits

I'll be honest and say I can't really see a deal mate. The only player in your academy who would be as useful to my team as Addison at the moment is Luke Marshall and I have about 10 options for inside centre in my squad these days!

Maybe Falateu

Although I have more n8 than I do flankers so Shields will be handy but Toby is better. Im not really sure

Really chuffed, one of my fav players and a fantastic winger on his day

anything for faletau mate

Make a offer mate

What for Scott Williams?

Not interested in Bruss or losing Rennie and Big Ben.

what for burgess?

Sorry mate Kvesic is crucial for my EQ squad options nearly always in my match day squad. How long you looking to loan Retallick for?

Yeah sorry mate it will be him and Romano sharing the 4 shirt and bench duty so he wont be much use during the AIs

He's pretty integral for me sorry!!

Maestri available mate?

Only player not looking to lose is Pape. Could get Hines involved (did you see Greenwood picked him for his Lions side?!?)

I'd have both of them a step up on Maestri. Who could you include to tempt me?

Ok bud, will leave it.

Horwill top 3 or so in the world, Maestri not yet.
So i'd need a similar level player to Horwill included somewhere.

Kolisi is a possible mate. Interested in Kruger.

I wouldn't go too much further than a straight swap mate, but hit me up with some tweaks and we'll see where we get to.

Here we go, I think we might struggle (as per!).

Anyone you're willing to let go?

Just working out the balance of my second rows at the moment, didn't expect Launchbury to make the England team this early so needing to make sure I've got decent cover at 6Nations!

Well they are all quality, some combination of

Goode, Cuthbert, Bowe, AAC, JOC, Youngs, Falateu, Read, Franksc, Parling

Well whatever two players I put in will be two big gains for you so I'd need another big gain elsewhere whatever two players I pick there

Mako only on loan to me from chris.

Denton not currently for sale.

Merrick will stay will untill he is out of Junior academy as then I can see how he is valued then (could go either way for me). He doesn't take up senior academy space yet so not worth me selling.

Still needs to be a gain and I'd have to think about it. Losing best lock in the world for someone not a lot of people rate by the looks of it, really not sure

I'd likely do Chris Henry for Drew Mitchell

No rush. I'd prefer it to go through after this round of games if you accept as I have Henry pencilled in to play for me this weekend.

Was tryna work it out myself.

You would say that aha, overwhelming opinion on homepage is not a great player and the other 11 managers are what matter tbh. Rather have him than Kruger though ATM tbh.

ENQ
Parling + Williams + AAC/Franks 4 Whitelock + Laulua + Kubs/Roug

Would have to think about losing Whitelock and where it leaves me etc

I'd want a FH in return, but I doubt I'll get Flood or Cruden off you!

probably not a swap I can see in terms of one English for another, as rate Ashton as a top 3 English player and one of the best finishers in the league.

So would have to be a swap around JOC

Yeah I do, just will be doing it this afternoon!

Would you consider a loan deal for Kruger mate?

Figured you were set at 5 for the time being with Parling and POC, and Maestri too....

What sort of deal would it take to get Kruger or Parling?

If Horwill was involved could Read be involved?

Always worth a shot...

Kruger and Lowe mate, lets talk..
