FULL FOREIGNS (Summer transfers)

1st bid - 0900 Monday 04 June

2nd bid - 0900 Monday 02 July

Summer foreigns close - 31 August

ACADEMY INCREASED TO 20

WAITING LIST:
1. HERSH

Yeah i'v seen him there a few times lately , probs play there for me in 6N

9.Burgess
10.Heathcote
11.Short
12.AAC (c)
13.Payne
14.Lindsey Hague
15.Southwell

Nice midfield. Looking forward to seeing Payne back for Ulster, he looked great before getting injured

Payne is such a sliky player , remember him threading a sweet grubber through for Rene Ranger for the Blues a few year back.

Nasty injury the Achillies.

Ulster could be immense next season. Can't wait to see more of Luke Marshall the young 12, he's built like a brick wall with cracking distribution.

Paddy Jackson, Cave, Gilroy, Bowe, Trimble, Payne....

Some back line

9.Pienaar
10.Jackson
11.Gilroy
12.Spence
13.Cave
14.Bowe
15.Payne

With Trimble , Marshall , D'Arcy and Wallace in the mix.

I wouldn't have Spence in there personally. Either Wallace or Marshall (if he kicks on) at 12 for me, Spence better at 13 but not as good as Cave

Think Cave could be a star. Can't remember who i was saying it too but i think Ireland should go

12.BOD
13.Cave

If anyone's interested in the round-balled game, there is a space on my league - Man City (one of the strongest sides)

Anyone keen?

After a number 8 fellas.


Also how kak is Olympic boxing!

I'm loving the swimming & cycling though!

The Swimming is always good , Phelps got ruined on Saturday. Has to be shock of the tournament?

Radcliffe withdrawing before the race saved us all time.

Great career though just seems to be allergic to the Olympics.

Olympic boxing is great! Pure point fighting... Being a karate man I love it very very skillfull!

It's been poor this year , Cuban lad just smashed the Japanese fella about.

Foot movement is poor as like you said it's mainly pure point so it's all punch fast punch fast!

Haven't seen any of todays but some good scraps last night. Freddy Evans the GB lad and John Joe Nevin the Irish lad looking very good for medals

Good fight now , Kazakstan and Sweeden lads having real good go's at each other.

Savanah Marshall in the womens is a animal! typical Hartlepool lass!!!

Its all about Katie Taylor in the womens!

Terrible tactics from the Swedish lad. All about hit and runs when you have that reach!

He's clean tripped him! Deserves to go out , made no attempt to box.

With Alberts and Robshaw at 6, 7 I'd get Denton at 8.or Picamoles. Or if you want non-foreign signing, Easter would work well with those two

And now that I have Poff covering 7 for when McCaw is absent do you think I should buy:

a new LH
a new TH
a back up front-rower
a utility back-rower
an 8
a new 10
a back up 13
a utility back
?

Also Powell, Hawkins, Wray or Kruis available to strong offers

TH or 10 for me CJ

TH dude.

Where should i go next?

1.Corbs
2.Grey
3.JJ
4.Etzebeth/Botha
5.Robson/Hargreaves
6.Newby
7.Robshaw
8.Alberts

9.Burgess
10.Farrell
11.North
12.Fofana
13.AAC
14.Short
15.Payne

Probably just depth needed now till you can get that 8

Do you guys watch T14, and if so, what do you think of Giorgi Jgenti?

Moot point now

I'd say Kepu or Cooenie would be a better bet. Even Jannie Du Plessis has impressed me in the last 12 months

Yeah sorry in my head for whatever reason o was mixing Fearns up with Kvesic! Fearns is fine at 6

haha! Right ok, panic over then! Did think it was a bit strange

Bathite,

To me you have 3 flankers with 3 very similar skill sets. I think you answer your own question when you say it's just a number on a back rather than a position. All 3 players are BS's in effect so your Backrow lacks balance and will struggle against other teams with more balance though possible lesser players.

I'm not a great Fearns fan, I think he's distinctly average and disappears as the quality rises. Louw is a top prem player but came up short Internationally and would be dominated by Int players. SOB is a great 6 and good 7, 8 is his weakest position.

Jgenti is such a powerhouse CJ. Does nothing in the loose but so strong at scrum time. Montpeiller are a cracking little side. Probably have the best backrow unit in the Top 14 these days and their pack is up there with the best

Richard Thorpe to Tigers.....odd signing

Great news for me

Brett Deacon too

All about cover Pooly. Think Croft and Newbt are struggling for the start of the season and Cockerill loves his squad depth

Pooly, table ready for season 2.

(Lowest position you'll be in all season!)

Cheers mate.

Be really tight this season, everyone has bought really well

Thorpe is a decent player and should cover well during internationals


Really looking forward to next season!

It's much realistic when we follow the real season.

I'm going to up the Academy limit up to 20 to allow for cover during 4N etc so managers can bring a few players up if they wish

Slow day.. world XV?

Right, clinics over...

I'm going to put up some potential THs and FHs, feedback greatly appreciated

First:

15- Beale (AUS)
14- JOC (AUS) (Medard FRA)

8- Read (NZ)
7- McCaw (NZ)
6- Dusautoir (FRA) (SOB IRE)
5- Gray (SCO)
4- Bekker (SA) (Whitelock NZ)
3- Franks (NZ) (Cole ENG)

I'm not far away from that.

8. Read

9. Genia
10. Carter
11. JP
12. SBW
13. Smith
14. JOC
15. Beale

Best is a good call at hooker, has actually been more consistent than BdP but Bis is just a beast!

1. Jenkins (Healy)
2. BdP (Best)
3. Castro (Franks)
4. Thorn (Gray)
5. POC (Whitelock)
6. Ferris (Dusa)
7. McCaw (Pocock)
8. Read (Parisse)

2. BDP (Best)
3. Castro (Franks)
4. Bekker (Horwill)
5. Whitelock (POC)
6. Ferris (SOB)
7. Pocock (McCaw)
8. Read (Parisse)

9. Genia (Parra)
10. Carter (Cruden)
11. JOC (Ioane)
12. SBW (Steyn)
13. Smith (AAC)
14. JP (Bowe)
15. Dagg (Beale)

I love BDP, don't get me wrong, but Best has been so solid for a long time now

THs- du Plessis, Jgenti, Hayman, Mike Ross, Census Johnston, Kubriashvili, Zirakasvili, Cooenie, Kepu,

FHs- Freddie Michalak, Felipe Contepomi, JM Hernandez, Laidlaw, Janties

Bekker needs to perform well on Int stage first before I rate him that high.

Best so consistent but can't reach the heights BdP can, 2 belting hookers though.

I can't remember the last time I was impressed by Woodcock.

Lads I'm thinking I need to strengthen at lh next seeing as I only have wood and murphy who isn't great?!
