can i confirm my foreign pete?

by CJB Thu 23 Aug 2012, 11:52 am

Lambie really interests me then

by Steven_Sharks Thu 23 Aug 2012, 12:31 pm

Willelmse or Botha for Sam Twomney?

by CJB Thu 23 Aug 2012, 1:08 pm

Thought I was in with a good deal there

Dave Wilson + Fitz in a deal could tempt me

by Driver Thu 23 Aug 2012, 2:31 pm

Sorry mate i'm that interested in Kayser when i'v had a think.

Thought i'd replied as well.

by CJB Thu 23 Aug 2012, 2:33 pm

Couldn't lose Kubs or Haskell tbh.

by Driver Thu 23 Aug 2012, 2:39 pm

A wee bit , just not sure how he'll be rated playing in Championship and for Newcastle Falcons.

Falcons players never seem to be rated that high.

by Driver Thu 23 Aug 2012, 2:52 pm

Yeah we should but stranger things have happened. Luckily for us our hardest game is our first with Bristol away. Welch could be a super star and is really highly though of up north.

Lot of shouts for him to tour SA but i don't think we're fashionable enough of a club to earn England recognition at.

I'll have a think fella as i already have Rennie , Jennings , Zanni and Smith who can all play 7.

by dammit_chris Thu 23 Aug 2012, 2:57 pm

Can lend you Savea if you wanted - can't with Launchbury as he's always going to be in my match day 23.

by LukeLovesLuka Thu 23 Aug 2012, 3:59 pm

Couldn't do that bud, leaves me very short at 2.

by CJB Thu 23 Aug 2012, 9:42 pm

Elstadt is another that interests me to a certain extent

by CJB Thu 23 Aug 2012, 10:40 pm

No thanks

by Guest Thu 23 Aug 2012, 10:46 pm

Help yourself pete can be recalled any time.

Fine fine player but I will start ferris and Lapandry as flankers. Am I right he adds to your squad numbers whilst also remaining part
Of my 40

by Guest Thu 23 Aug 2012, 10:59 pm

What for dusatoir ? Fasivalu and Jsd enquiry ?

by Guest Thu 23 Aug 2012, 11:16 pm

You will not be in relegation battle for me. Your front row alone should win games in wet. English is your problem. You have too many foreign second rows who may not play as schofield and skivs could go well this year.

An 8 would help you and you are heavy in good 9s.

When you are overstocked in a position it's a great bargaining chip.

I have hanks palmer robson etzbeth Gray and Pierre so should defo sell some also

by Guest Thu 23 Aug 2012, 11:34 pm

Ai Will be nasty just checked fixtures there is 2 weekends where I will have barely a side. Depends on how some of my guys get on form wise. Could have no backrow.

Think Lapandry may play more for France due to how he played last year and in June tests.

Hope not

by Driver Fri 24 Aug 2012, 1:13 am

Give you £5m for Ihump and Welch?

by dammit_chris Fri 24 Aug 2012, 7:32 am

Would you be able to use him before the RC finishes? More than happy for him to go on loan, with option of recall when injuries announced etc.

by Steven_Sharks Fri 24 Aug 2012, 10:25 am

That's okay providing its a week by week basis (ie recall him when required without penalty). He would get in a few of my 23's so can't offer him long term, particularly if injuries might be coming.

yeah thats fine

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri 24 Aug 2012, 10:46 am

Find it very hard to value Sa having not seen him play yet. Think I'm going to hold onto him for a while and see how he gets on sorry mate

by Driver Fri 24 Aug 2012, 11:23 am

£1.5 for ihump?

by Driver Fri 24 Aug 2012, 11:47 am

Its fair enough, highest ill go is 5m

by Guest Fri 24 Aug 2012, 5:20 pm

What for Alexander ? What player do you want

by Guest Sat 25 Aug 2012, 11:23 pm

How Much cash ?? After today's performance his value must have dropped lol.

Good player plays either side. Would not
Do JSd or heaslip for him as do not need him
That much. Have jj mas and harden however I am interested . Let me know
Cash mate

by Guest Sun 26 Aug 2012, 9:43 am

Thats a fair price. Let me have a think on it

by Steven_Sharks Sun 26 Aug 2012, 10:30 am

Chris Henry + 7 mil

for Will Welch and Ben Alexander

by Steven_Sharks Sun 26 Aug 2012, 10:40 am

Won't get anywhere then sadly. Can't lose any of those guys.

Will offer 4 mil for Will Welch if you fancy it.

by Steven_Sharks Sun 26 Aug 2012, 10:48 am

not paying 5. Still hoping to raise funds for a bid for Dirksen so is my max. 4 mil remains on the table for now

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 26 Aug 2012, 2:29 pm

Would you do cash + player for any of the following:

Bissie, Corbs, Dus, Parra, Davies, Tolufua, Kolisi?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 26 Aug 2012, 2:46 pm

What kind of deal are we looking at...do you want to give me a list and I'll see if I can put something together.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 26 Aug 2012, 3:37 pm

I don't think I could let any of those go in a deal...that was short and sweet.

by CJB Mon 27 Aug 2012, 12:43 am

sorry don't see a big enough gain...Alexander instead of kruger?

by dammit_chris Mon 27 Aug 2012, 9:19 am

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on Savea - is it worth loaning him at the minute due to him being in the RC, happy to loan him to you until X-mas if you wanted?

by dammit_chris Mon 27 Aug 2012, 9:32 am

No problem. Saw you mention how Farrell played last week, he looked good - I was with clients so didnt see the whole game, but from what I did see you will have no problems getting him to play attacking rugby, his passing was bringing so many players into the game. He got a nice try too.

I was worried at how Ashton would do at Sarries to be honest, but he got a hattrick and they were playing so great running rugby mixed with an impressive intensity - if they play like that all season then they'll finish above Quins in the league, maybe even win it.

They played a couple of their new signings too - Fenton Wells looked good, and I'm glad Wasps have Quins on the first day instead of them!

by 'Arry Spurs Mon 27 Aug 2012, 4:50 pm

Don't want to let Ojo go mate

by CJB Mon 27 Aug 2012, 8:24 pm

by LukeLovesLuka Tue 28 Aug 2012, 9:17 pm

Tempted by one of your wingers mate as I'm a but short but undecided as to whether to hang on for someone like Aplon.

by Steven_Sharks Tue 28 Aug 2012, 9:35 pm

I'll give you your 5 mil for Welch mate.

by CJB Wed 29 Aug 2012, 10:30 pm

Then i'd have to lose a player and i'm pretty happy with my squad tbh, not sure who i'd lose so don't fancy a 2 for 1

by stnick88 Thu 30 Aug 2012, 3:38 pm

what for whitehead?

by CJB Thu 30 Aug 2012, 11:13 pm

Kolisi/Wallace/Dus/Johnson interest me.

by CJB Fri 31 Aug 2012, 11:24 am

Ioane. Not really sure I can lose Lobbe without a replacement

by **Ozzy3213** Sun 02 Sep 2012, 10:55 pm

The following players have picked up injuries, they will be available to play again on the week stated.

Brett Sturgess - AP R5
Tom Johnson - AP R6
Tomas O'Leary - ACC R1

by LukeLovesLuka Mon 03 Sep 2012, 9:08 am

Do anything for Tolofua on loan?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 03 Sep 2012, 9:18 am

You came out quite nicely on the injuries there Pete.......3 subs Wink
