Cheers fella,

Read somewhere Rhys Priestland has some serious deamons and doesn't enjoy the game any more. Could do with a attacking 10 to really get my backs going.

Croft/Coatzee NFS

by Driver Mon 18 Feb 2013 - 15:09

Be a interesting bid , I'v went for Iain Henderson this time round as him , Etz , Coatzee and Denton in my pack would be immense.

A 10s on my radar in the summer though. A superstar might emerge in Super rugby.

by Driver Mon 18 Feb 2013 - 15:36

Not sure , Henderson has been calling the Ulster line when Muller if off and Etz is pretty good at it too.

4.Etzebeth 5.Henderson 6.Croft 7.Robshaw 8.Denton

Someone from Aussie Rules , name escapes me is meant to be better than SBW at Union. Might be worth a punt.

by Guest Mon 18 Feb 2013 - 16:09

make me an offer

by ChequeredJersey Mon 18 Feb 2013 - 17:32

Think I'll keep him fella

by Driver Mon 18 Feb 2013 - 18:56

Israel Folau is the AR convert , scored twice against rebels in pre-season. Meant to be something special

by Driver Mon 18 Feb 2013 - 21:28

He's addressed the need for a hooker , rumours that Chuter could be bought in on a one year deal have been binned.

Big hint's that we're in for Lindenberg the Stormers hooker.

Kieron Brookes , Dave Wilson and Sir Jonny have all been linked.

Rory Clegg is a done deal.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 19 Feb 2013 - 9:11

12m for Lamb or 15m for Myler mate thumbsup

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 19 Feb 2013 - 13:39

Exeter don't really need cash mate

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 19 Feb 2013 - 13:53

Like to see how he develops really mate

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 19 Feb 2013 - 14:29

Sorry mate Wood not for sale. Probably my best EQ player nowadays.

Myler/Lamb interest?

by Guest Wed 20 Feb 2013 - 10:54

really want Medard, what can we do for him?

by Driver Mon 25 Feb 2013 - 12:56

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21576537

by Guest Wed 6 Mar 2013 - 16:24

na....

how about:

Medard + Southwell

for

Burger +Stevens + Wentzel?

by CJB Thu 7 Mar 2013 - 19:56

I'd need TJ and a gain

by CJB Thu 7 Mar 2013 - 21:31

I'd rather have a strong starting team than strong depth

by CJB Thu 7 Mar 2013 - 21:45

Personally wouldn't start Mumm

I think we are both strong in similar positions - back row and half backs - so we struggle with deals

by Guest Fri 8 Mar 2013 - 17:02

well to be honest mate, they are all for sale.....

the one I would most likely let go would be Farrell...and to be honest im not keen on letting him go..

by Guest Sat 9 Mar 2013 - 9:04

im not sure to be honest....

by Guest Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 9:12

na mate....

think il leave it for the time being.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 12 Mar 2013 - 19:56

Exeter....

James, Pickles, Pienaar, Lowe, Ojo, Kruis

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 12 Mar 2013 - 20:48

You always scare me off with big deals!

Skays can leave, Kruis involved perhaps?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 12 Mar 2013 - 20:54

Well I can't really see a gain in that deal tbh, Faletau/Pickles is the closest and the rest are big losses for Exeter imo.

This is why we struggle lol

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 12 Mar 2013 - 20:59

Tough one, I don't want to lose Horwill for POC and 36 is pretty untouchable.

I'll have a think

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 12 Mar 2013 - 21:03

I'm a massive POC fan mate but he's not got long left, seems to play a month and be off for 6 lately.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 12 Mar 2013 - 21:07

Haha, I'll have a think.

by Guest Thu 14 Mar 2013 - 11:00

what for Henson?

by Guest Thu 14 Mar 2013 - 17:00

What about

Henson + Barritt

=

Waldrom + Chuter?

by Guest Thu 14 Mar 2013 - 20:20

yh but I wanted Barrett...because Im going to lose Waldrom I want some class back...

also Im taking a gamble going for Henson, so im sure you could understand why I chucked Chuter in there....IMO the deal is near enough even

I don't want the cash Im not fussed about a foreign at this stage

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 16 Mar 2013 - 12:59

no wasn't zware of Noon retiring (thanks). Not too keen on Simpson leaving as I have limited back-up at SH. Watson could go, are any of your props available?

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 16 Mar 2013 - 13:08

yeah was thinking of letting Ion and/or Rautenbach go TBH, don't think they're adding anything to my squad at all. Suspect you're not willing to let Mitchell or David Wilson go, but wouldn't mind say Scott Wilson who's a very decent prospect.

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 16 Mar 2013 - 14:43

Guest is a no-no, Mitchell isn't worth two EQ players. I could let Bowden go who's not doing much for me at the moment, but would probably prefer the straight swap for Scott Wilson TBH...

by Guest Fri 22 Mar 2013 - 16:01

he's one of my best players...i would need closer to £25m for him..

by Guest Fri 22 Mar 2013 - 16:26

ok deal, you may confirm

by CJB Fri 22 Mar 2013 - 20:06

Great deal for you mate, just a shame you already have Pienaar. What great backup though

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 25 Mar 2013 - 21:07

Would need better than Mitchell for Mas, don't really want to lose him.

No interest in Care tbh.

Bruss looking back to form

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 25 Mar 2013 - 21:43

36 untouchable mate.

Pretty happy with TJ, think he's a talent. Rate Pienaar very highly but I'll stick with TJ mate.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 26 Mar 2013 - 14:15

What for Swainston Flux?

by CJB Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 22:16

Happy with Mostert as quality second row cover

Would rather have a stronger line up than back up

by CJB Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 22:37

First team is Haskell Morgan Hooper

Back row and 9-10 axis most important places to be strong IMO

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 22:38

Jess probably available.

Kruis?

What for Swainston for Tigers?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 22:44

Yarde or Ford for Swainston???? This is why we don't do deals lol

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 22:46

Struggling mate, rate these much higher than Swainston.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 22:48

Exeter

Mas nfs, I can't lose Horwill/Pape without top lock back and don't think Bath have one.

This is confusing lol

by CJB Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 23:09

Of course everywhere is important but in a tight game I edge towards team with leaders and better key areas

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 23:12

Yea George is fair but not an area I can lose in....I think we've hit a wall lol

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 23:20

Can't see anything mate, Ford nfs...seeing if he develops

by prop_lyd Wed 3 Apr 2013 - 17:42

Same as I put on Bath page

by Bathite Mon 20 May 2013 - 14:03

Care, Pienaar, talk to me.

Where would you be looking to improve from my squad?
