Be interested in Downey when you're up and running.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:24 am

Is there anything we could do for Jonathan Davies?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:27 am

Anything for Bissie Pete?

by Guest Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:36 am

This London Welsh Sarries thing will take a while. I would be in for Bizmarck any day of the week.

I am going to call my new dog Bizmarck. Class name

by prop_lyd Thu 16 Aug 2012, 11:06 am

Interested in either Butch or Humphreys

by Driver Thu 16 Aug 2012, 11:08 am

What for Ihump?

by LukeLovesLuka Thu 16 Aug 2012, 11:15 am

What positions you looking to strengthen?

by LukeLovesLuka Thu 16 Aug 2012, 11:33 am

Couldnt lose Monye without top EQ in return.

Also interested in Butch/Humphreys.

by LukeLovesLuka Thu 16 Aug 2012, 1:06 pm

Hines + EFS
for
Borths + Downey

Might be an option?

by LukeLovesLuka Thu 16 Aug 2012, 1:26 pm

Are you able to add anything to the Hines/Downey offer?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Aug 2012, 1:30 pm

AAC for Davies?

by prop_lyd Thu 16 Aug 2012, 1:44 pm

Can't really lose an eq player sorry!

by LukeLovesLuka Thu 16 Aug 2012, 2:07 pm

Add in Fitz for Poit?

by Steven_Sharks Thu 16 Aug 2012, 2:58 pm

Wouldnt do that deal in a million years sorry mate.

JJ not for sale at any price.

by Steven_Sharks Thu 16 Aug 2012, 3:07 pm

Not willing to let any of my EQ go for Borthwick sorry. Thought he might have been availible for less

by stnick88 Thu 16 Aug 2012, 3:09 pm

sorry mate hes nfs

by stnick88 Thu 16 Aug 2012, 3:23 pm

lambie available?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Aug 2012, 3:25 pm

Tolufua, Kolisi?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Aug 2012, 5:47 pm

Welsh has changed you Pete!!

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Aug 2012, 5:57 pm

Would need Simmons + mate, he's pretty handy for me

by Steven_Sharks Thu 16 Aug 2012, 6:02 pm

Sorry mate best deal I will do for Borthwick is TOL + cash.

I would like him hear but not at the expense of Bakkies who is one of my most important players. I am content with most of my squad so only a few players I'm willing to lose.

Players I could do in a deal for Borthwick and Trimble are TOL and Roko.

by Steven_Sharks Thu 16 Aug 2012, 6:10 pm

Afraid not. Bakkies staying a Quin this season. Gives me the grunt I require in the row which Simmons, at this point in time, doesn't.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Aug 2012, 6:16 pm

He's probably got another 10 years in him!

Can't see nothing then mate as Simmons is the only lock I like

by Steven_Sharks Thu 16 Aug 2012, 6:24 pm

7 or 8 million is my max

by Driver Thu 16 Aug 2012, 7:30 pm

Can give you £1.4m for him?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 16 Aug 2012, 11:20 pm

1. Is Chris Whitehead ok as a starter during international periods?
Yes

2. How do people rate Ofisa Treviranus
Decent 6 from what I've seen, be easier to judge this year after good pre season

3. Gavin Henson was widely reported to have played really well last week, how are people rating him at present?
Not highly really Pete, again could change with good start to season

4. Is Eric Escande a viable bench option for me during international periods?
No idea who he is

5. Does Dean Schofield provide enough grunt at 4 (6ft 6ins and 20 stone)
Didn't realise he was that big! I like Schofield, he used to get hammered when I had him despite playing really well for Toulon(had arguably better overall season than Bakkies) another one who will be judged on how he goes at Worcester.

by CJB Fri 17 Aug 2012, 12:09 am

Corbs, Wilson, Simmons, Elstadt, Parra, Hougaard, Davies, Ioane

by 'Arry Spurs Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:42 pm

by 'Arry Spurs Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:44 pm

Fair do's.

Can you give me which players you would do a one player deal with Downey then?

by 'Arry Spurs Sun 19 Aug 2012, 7:23 pm

can't let either of those two go mate

by dammit_chris Mon 20 Aug 2012, 12:12 pm

Saw you ask about Whitehead, personally think he is a very good player in the AP and he seemed to get the Exeter starting no2 jersey towards the end of the season.

I think you can start him without a problem at all at this level, he's 25/26 and more experience than say Youngs, Grey, Lindsay etc who I think will all start in some games for teams here.

by Guest Mon 20 Aug 2012, 12:31 pm

I think whitehead is a solid player.

I would have him ahead of Lindsay and Youngs as his basics are decent. Youngs and Lindsay need to learn to throw in first

I am probably biased but i would have Grey ahead of him.

by Guest Tue 21 Aug 2012, 9:04 am

Hi Pete could you look at my foreign bid i have had there for a while. Thanks

by CJB Thu 23 Aug 2012, 12:12 am

Potentially. Who is available?
