Who are you thinking of?

Had a couple in mind, one is definate no, might give this one a go now

You can't really do sneaky bids lol

Sneaky as in, someone that people didn't notice. Not sneaky as in trying to break the rules. Very jealous of Fluxy's sneaky Agullla purchase, can't wait to see him in a Bath shirt soon

I didn't mean sneaky as in trying to break the rules, more putting a bid in and nobody catching on who it is lol

CF, I could lose Parra, Smith, McCaw, Goode, Halfpenny, Kepu, Mitchell, etc. We'll all lose good players

All of the pools are updated boys

Also a quick opinion, I gathered I should go for a back three player in the foriegns. But stuck between Medard and Taute, any thoughts?

I prefer Medard personally

Medard proven class for me. Taute does look a talent though 13/15

yh i know mate, im just saying

will post tactics later on as very busy at the moment.

Why can't Tom youngs throw a ball straight? Such a simple skil, so frustrating.

Awesome performance from bath, louw was huge, but Williams have a good game and back three looking dangerous. Great defence as well.

Magic from burns! Remind me why Farrell is in the squad?

Jsd is the best winger we've had in the last 5/6 years. Incredible player!

Defence just isn't up to Int rugby though

Anybody after a LH, Barcella was fantastic last night, looks back to his best

This is awesome defence from Gloucester! Really hope they hold on. Cowan looking like an inspired signing, looks really up for the scrap. Always rates him as an AB, big fan

How do you know it isn't? When was the last time he played at that level? Don't think Ashton is a great defender, JSD not any worse than monye wade sharples

I agree, I think JSD is no more a liability in defence as say Quade for Oz. And the attacking threat he would provide by just popping up everywhere is something we could use to spark a stogdy backline.

JSD is 30 though its a bit too late for him England wise now. Eastmond has a very similar style but is more of a dangerous runner. Needs a bit more work defensively but I'd love to see him involved with England during the summer games

JSD has terrible positional/concentration defence. Always gets caught out, don't rate him defensively at all

Wing is a fair bit different to 10, don't get Alberts running down wing often!

Um, Ugo Monye, whom I am defending for the second time today, is a very good defender! Much better than JSD though less inspired ball in hand.

Great match between Stade and Toulouse ATM, 21-24 to Toulouse

Ashton is a much better defender than JSD and Monye is on a whole different level. JSD would get hammered off top wingers.

Ooh, yay, looks like I'm losing Brits too

Just as well Cole is playing so well, a front row without Hartley, Webber, Mears, Corbs, Marler, is a scary thought.

Mako or Mullan getting a chance vs Fiji.

Reckon we might have Marler, Lawes and Hartley back after that, which is when we really need them

Get to splash some money soon

Just updated budgets, people look pretty healthy tbh.

I might add another U21 bid

That woukd be fantastic too

Would the U18 signing come before/after/same time as the main foreign bid? Think everyone will have their eyes on one in particular!

Might be a bit rough bringing an u21 bid in as well though for those with less cash. A few sides aren't going to be able to afford a top foreign and then an u21 on top and will lose out

Nah, there are a fair few good U20s still there. Galala at Brive for example, who is both a LH and a winger (Fijian)

But to be fair you may wish to save the U20 till a but later for those less well
Off

u18 or u20, player has to be uncapped, right?

You can have Galala so CJ I know who I'd want
Maybe save the u21 bid till Jan. Give a bit of notice so everyone can save a bit and get a player in

Bathite wrote:u18 or u20, player has to be uncapped, right?

Those were the rules, which removes Fickou and maybe Samson Lee from the reckoning soon!

I hope for Lees sake that doesnt happen. Hes not ready for international rugby yet. I'd be afraid a tonking now will set him back massively. Look at Mat Tait! Hes plenty of potential but let him test himself in the Rabo for the season.

Thinking of doing a clear out. Anyone want the following on the cheap?

HK - Batty [EQ]
HK - Dixon
LK - Caldwell

FH - Clegg [EQ]
OC - Hipkiss [EQ]
OC / WG - Carraro
FB / FH Catterick [EQ]

Didn't realise we get an under18 bid too, guess I will have to do research

Has anything been confirmed? I thought the last bid was an U21?

It's just an idea at this stage, get your thinking caps on though.

You get 1 foreign on the 1st

Blimey that's come round quick!!

Thinking hooker will be best for me?!

Bathite- im intrested in hipkiss

Luke Burguss could leave for £18m

Driver i really need Mullan back after this match

Its fine bud, budgen and ayerza are back now

Will update page tomorrow evening. Get a new laptop tomorrow. Hence why scores were short.

Who is buying who tomorrow then?

I'm torn between; Medard, Taute and JP - probably go JP

Who ever i can get for £6m lol

Burguss still going for £16m

Struggling to decide who to buy still, list includes Picamoles, Pape, Fritz and Gorgodze!
