Ripped a couple of A games up but being eased in.

Can't justify Tait + a lot of cash for a prospect mate

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Nov 06, 2012 6:09 pm

Would leave me a little short at 13.

Anything in

Allen + Kruis

JTH + ?

Gives you a Nonu/Smith type midfield and somebody to get you over the game line in the poor conditions

by CJB Sun Nov 25, 2012 11:36 pm

Wouldn't do Betty for Wray tbh but maybe Abbott

by Driver Sun Dec 02, 2012 3:18 pm

Mako/Mullan/Brookes/Vunipola/Burns/Allen/Halfpenny interest me

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Dec 17, 2012 4:25 pm

I'd probably need Halfpenny involved mate, understand he's better than Wade

by Fluxy Mon Dec 17, 2012 8:55 pm

i'd rather not lose either of them, but it would take a huge cash offer for either of them

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:24 pm

Nieto's finished mate

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:27 pm

Pretty sure Nieto is retiring, Castro off to Toulon I think.

Can't see anything mate

by Guest Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:53 pm

erm possibly...but it would still take large cash to be invovled.

by Londonirishollie Tue Jan 22, 2013 6:33 pm

Nick McLeod and 5 mill
for
Matt Mullan

by Londonirishollie Tue Jan 22, 2013 6:45 pm

I'd be willing to let you keep Mullan until Mako's injury was over and take McLeod straight away if we could make it 3 mill.

So

McLeod and 3 mill (Now)
for
Mullan (when Mako's injury over)

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Jan 30, 2013 9:05 pm

Could we set up something for when Mako is back on Mullen?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Jan 30, 2013 9:11 pm

Also interested in Buchanan

by Fluxy Wed Jan 30, 2013 9:12 pm
