I only have Cole & Castro at TH and rate them both miles above Corbs. I'm not that interested in Gibson to lose Deacon for either in a deal where I'm already losing out massively.

So no lol

Do a sneaky late night deal...

He's back

So what do I have to do to get deacon, 36 and maybe Lowe?

I think we'll struggle Flux

All clubs have received cash injections now and budgets are up to date

Who's smashing deals out today!

I am?

Up for it. Jubilee boring already...

My budget says 2 x £5m injections??

You'll get them throughout the season Luke

When the foreigns are shut? As a new manager shouldn't I get a bonus?

You've already had a bonus a few days ago (7m & 2 x 5m injections)

Exeter alread had a new manager bonus mate (10m), can't really give another.

They'll be chance to up your budget in coming weeks with 7's and summer cup. Could always release a few players??

They may also be a TV rights bonus coming before next window

Ah fair enough

Do I have to bid for my 1st forgein within the window or can I keep hold of them till I have the right money?

Closes 31 Aug Prop

Ok cool, cheers bud!!

Also: who do people rpefer out of: Buxton,Hazell,Deacon?!

Anyone interested in Vyvvan, Hougaard, Maddock or maybe Wiggles?

You need another centre Flux. Someone with some power or straight line pace

Just glanced at the England squad for the first test and it looks quite good, very optimistic for Saturday now

Farrell aside its quite exciting, not sure of Foden on wing

I'm not so bothered with Foden on the wing, might recapture his attacking threat without the responsibility of FB, NZL play FBs on the wing most of the time eg Jane, Guildford and even Dagg.

I don't mind Farrell to start, although it will likely be a kickoff between him and morne. But I like having Flood and JJ to come on and open the game up later on.

Think Lancaster has got it spot on. Think Farrell is the right choice at 10 as i doubt Flood is able to get through the full 80 plus as Fluxy said would really open the game up.

I'm sure Foden played wing before when he couldn't get the 15 shirt off of Armitage and it wasn't a success.
Youngs lucky to start for me, Care outperformed him in the AP final, so i'd have him starting. And there's still big question marks over him if he's behind a retreating pack. Farrell at 10 just makes everything so uncreative and limits englands attack in every way. Manu can get at JDV defensively though, and their pack does lack experience so an England win is far from unlikely, especailly with there lack of tightheads, i think England can get at the SA scrum.

Happy with the Ireland team. Darcy out of the 22 and DOC only on the bench are big plusses. Expect POM to play a big role in the lineout. But can still see a big loss. Zebo who looks a proper prospect starting as well is a positive. Not great defensively but has that bit of class about him. Real depth in the back 3 now.

Deals?

Summer Cup teams needed:

https://www.606v2.com/t30379-summer-cup-round-1#1287780

Same as everyone else, like the England team except not sure about Foden on the wing (would haw rather seen Wade) and think that if Farrell plays 10 you need a more attacking 12 than Barritt- I think both are good players but at international level both in the same team may lose us impetus

Anybody about tonight? On nights and need some transfer activity in my life!

Same flux

You do quite a few night shifts!

Seems to go crazy on here after midnight

Anyone see the u20's?
England lucky ireland played SA 4 days ago or they really could of lost it. Scrum and bench saved them in second half

JJ Hanrahan looks a player. Irish 8 was quality. Heathcote was poor as was Spencer. Kicking game was awful. England 3, and replacement loosehead were good.

Junior ABs looked clueless in the conditions from what i saw. Both ireland and england looked better.

If England want to win the whole thing, improved lineout and better kicking game is needed.

I was on days till mid day yesterday! Half way through my shift they told me to go on nights that night! 26 hours without sleep!

Illegal that Micky, should have told them to do one.

Watched 1st half of England game, we were dire. Don't think we hit one lineout, don't know how we won

Is it? May have to have a few loud words

Pretty sure it's 8hrs between shifts, might be worth googling.

I got sent home at 12 and was back in at 10

So who is willing to lose who? I'm williling to listen to offers except for Pienaar, Etze and brus
