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

Looking to raise some funds so if anyones interested have a few players available for loan:

Nutley (Till the end of the AI's)
1 of Myler/Lamb (Till the end of the RC)
1 of Craig/Day/Sorenson (Till the end of the RC)

We seriously need a new manager.....GF seems to have fallen through.

Any ideas?

Anyone about for a deal? Could have some second rowers available for a fullback or a centre! Otherwise I'm going to bore everyone and write season previews on each team!

Pooly, what about HERSH?

Fluxy wrote:Pooly, what about HERSH?

He not interested and not sure he'd fit in with his constant wumming

Haha you act like there is a lack of that here...

We're all good boys on here Flux!

Goung away for the weekend guys, back Monday

GF might be on in a bit, can you talk him through what he needs to do

Yeah sure I'm around to talk him through it

See Sharman has had his contract terminated by Saints Johnny

I might be around depending on business

Had seen he was under investigation for the comments but hadn't heard that. Wonder if anyone will pick him up so close to the season now?

I'd be happy if Falcons did, Vickers is garbage

Hes a decent Prem level hooker so would definately do a job. Doubt hes on much money either

Kind of possibility Richards will be all over!

Great try by NZ. went through everyone's hands and finished by my man Dagg!

Out of interest, who are people rating at 8 at the moment? Read having another blinder for ABs

Read
Parisse
--
??

Bathite, this is why we've invested in ABs


As for no8s, they stand out but others on the list are Harinordiquy, Picamoles and potentially Denton for the future

Other than read hari parisse, I can't really see who stands out after them

After those 3 there's a good step down.

Heaslip has been poor for a while, Pickles is good and Faletau is coming along. I like Denton too, like to see him at 6

Big fan of Faletau, and also Denton. Higginbotham is another good option at base, very quick for a big lad.

Yea Higgy is good too, better at 6 I think.

I do rate Spies and Vermeulen is another good option

Or JMF Lobbe, don't know how I forgot him!

Mullan
Brits
Kepu
Ryan
Matthews/Borthwick
Brown
McCaw
Joubert
Parra
Hodgson
Mitchell (better not be as bad injured as I fear...)
Allen
Smith
Halfpenny
Goode

Vunipola, One of several English Hookers, Nieto, Matthews/Borthwick, Poff/York, Spencer, Geraghty, Wyles

Who is a better combo at 4-5, Ryan with Borthwick or young Matthews? And where do I need to add to my squad in the next Foreigns?

Think a lock should be your next target CJ mate. Someone with a bit of phsyicality to partner Ryan. Think Ryan and Borthwick/Matthews is a bit light weight. After that maybe a back up 10 as Geraghty although great on his day can be very flaky

Looking good CJ, second row also would be my call.

Hmm someone like Albacete or Pape perhaps then

Not a big fan of Albacete, he's really dropped over the last few seasons.

Pape, Maestri, Davies would be a good choice

Or I could snag Aaron Smith and trade him...

He has been on fire......

Davies is a good shout , proper enforcer lock.

Pooly my Dodgy box keeps freezing , you had any complaints?

Yeah- looking at players still out there you can get a side like this:

Byrne/Hogg
Ioane/Bowe
BOD/nobody- literally can't think of anyone!
Giteau/Contepomi
Savea/Pietersen/Aplon
Michalak/Laidlaw
Smith/Blair
Picamoles/Denton
Rennie/Zanni
Thomson/Oudraogo (well, technically more of a 7)
Pape/Maestri
Thorn/Botha
Alexander/Jgenti
Hore/Ghiraldhini
Poux/Lo Cicero

I think...

Davies needs to prove he can use his brain

Well guys we are in the real season now finally!
Quick refresher for us all:

• Time lines are the same as last season so team sheets and tactics need to be in by 8pm Saturday. Predictions close at 8pm Tuesday.
  
  
• To stop the hassle we had last season no teamsheets will be accepted past the deadline.
  
  
• No teamsheet is an automatic 30-0 bonus point win for the opposition.
  
  
• Tactics as last year are 10 lines and 10 bullet points (2 lines each) long. You can format the limit as you see fit. I.e. Use lines from the paragraph as bullet points or vice versa.
  
  
• Prediction bonus is 3m for descriptive (must have a minimum average of 2 lines across all the games) or 1.5m for scores on the door. Again predictions wont be taken past 8pm Tuesday

I'll get a match thread up around 11 or 1ish with conditions for the weekend unless Fluxy wants to continue from last season

Isn't it better just to chuck a teamsheet in if someone's missing, no tactics? Likelihood is people will miss teamsheets if something crops up, not on purpose.

There's quite a few more i'd add to that list, especially Frenchies

Malzieu, Poit, Medard,
Mermoz, Jauzion,
Horne, Cave, Ellison, Fruean, JDV, JDJ, Engelbrecht, Davies, Evans
McCabe, Faingaa, Crotty

Plus Arguably the lack of prediction actually punishes the other team in the match too to a lesser degree

Agreed, I reckon, worst comes to worst, they should get there last week's teamsheet chucked in without tactics as a standard

If its the general consensus I'm happy to do it but there should still be some kind of punishment for missing teamsheets. It puts extra work on whoevers running the match thread as they will have to check injuries/bans/call ups.

I don't mind doing it again it'll get me back into the swing of things

Cheers Flux. Games are listed on the fixture list. If you knock the page up I'll throw conditions on at lunch time

All done

Good man Fluxy cheers

Drew Mitchell out for a year
Ansbro out for 6 months
Pocock out for 3 months
Bismarck our for 3 months

Some big old injuries coming through this 4Ns!

What's the deal with 4Ns players this weekend and our starting lineups?

Up to yourself Bathite but i will be heavily marking down anyone involved with the squads as they will have done some serious amount of travelling and by squads I mean the entire squad not just the match day squad

Ok, so the rule is players are available if not playing for their country, but the rest is up to the manager?

Spot on mate

Guys, with Mitchell's extended injury, do I need a replacement for Jim on the wing?
