I'd be interested in ROb Webber mate if you can see something

"Crane, JvN, Thompstone and Varndell"

Erm....

Thompstone + JVN + hooker

Guildford + Fearns + Webber

Thompstone + JVN + Crane

Guildford + Fearns + Webber

I thought you meant hooker, no drama

Thompstone + JVN + Simmons

Guildford + Fearns + Davies

??

I'm struggling to progress this one

Merrick NFS
Burrell needs EQ

Don't really want to lose Haskell

Shields needs young quality

Burrell needs EQ

Could we base a deal around Crane/Fearns?

Thorn/Davies + Parling your best, prob Thorn.

A deal round Fearns/Crane??

Hey mate can I ask why your finding it hard to rate Fruean?

Still performing highly though. Was in the top 20 for carries, metres made and offloads before going off for the replacement valve. Whys he any different to any other injured player for rating? Hes effectively missed 5 games for Crusaders and is back again for the start of their next season. Been playing at a high level for three years and always been mentioned as a potential All Black while with the same condition

Collier, Fearns, Webber, Sam Jones

Are the lads I could for a Thompstone, could knock it up a bit for Fearns/Webber

Tough to sell figallo he has been incredible in RC and was also named best tight head at last World Cup. For me he is best tight head in world and people starting to rate him. I don't play him much but this will change.


Could look at a deal on the others you mentioned:

Interested in matera and nonu. AI's are going to hurt most teams in terms of availability !

Would be looking at 2 players for 2 players as JJ Murray and Scott is too much for nonu and matera.

Could add in an academy player. What's your preference? JJ Scott + academy for matera and Nonu ?

Dawiduk/Whitehead + Vardell for Webber?

No worries mate, not overly keen on that one unless you could bump it up?

I could possibly due Thompstone for Fearns?

Anything?

Brad Thorn and Ma'a Nonu

for

Sitaleki Timani, Fotu Auelua, Pat McCabe and Digby Ioane

Enquiry?

No worries.

Afeaki, Flood?

I'd need WC back for Smith mate, no bother

No Pal.

Afeki a bit and Barclay a bit less.

Not the others tbh,

"Would you be interested in a deal for Afeaki, Cronin, Kellock and Barclay"

Take out Kellock, what are you thinking?

What for Cronin?

Lowe + ?

Bosch + Webber

??

Don't see that myself mate hence the offer.

Can you suggest anything?

Lowe + ?

Webber + ?

What for Brad Thorn mate?

Can't let Bowden go sorry mate he is vital during international periods.

I'll pass on that one mate

Webber, Parling??

I'm guessing from your response you are in need of a prop. Don't really want to get rid of James or Malherbe, but could do something with Castrogiovanni if you are interested.

Hmm, would need something else coming my way in that one, as Timani has years left in him whereas the next Super Rugby season will be Thorn's last.

What for Matera mate?

8mil for Rhodri jones

Anything for Brad Davies?

Struggling to see much if I'm honest mate. Would need Robshaw and an improvement, but not sure I want to take that hit in my back row.

Sorry just saw your post mate, who are you looking at from me?

Falatau is NFS mate.

Yeah you can do , I was going to ask you about it at some point this week.

Webber, Cronin, Davies, Robshaw?

Sorry fella been rushed off my feet, would be interested in all of your hookers but not sure whether I'd want to do a deal till next season as need to work out who I want to play and how I want to, maybe have a bash out over christmas

Potentially yes. Need decent offers

Nonu/Bosch/Davies/Robshaw/Flood/JMH/Jones mainly interest me

Either but need a replacement in any deal and would like any replacement to be from the same hemisphere

Can't do that deal, not losing Hill

I see Messam and both Scrumies as top 5 in position so would need two players back similar rating

I have to have a scrummie in any deal or left with only 2 and potentially stuffed during injuries/internationals.

JMH not top 5 IMO

Not sure either tbh probably going game by game

Like the deal in theory but can't lose an EQ without getting a decent one back in return

Webber, Cronin, Parling, Davies, Robshaw, Mach, Nonu

Can't let both Higs and Fraser go together.

Am interested in Webber. I'm looking to improve at: lh, fh and ic if that helps?

He looked great today, still need a 7 though.

Get Robshaw involved?

Not a chance on Barritt fella, Ranger maybe depending on offer.

I'm going to have to call back Kelly Brown and Francis Sailli but they can rejoin after injuries are finished if that helps bud.


Also you in a state to do results? Think all preados are in now.
