Any interest in JJ Engelbrecht for Alex Tulou?

Any interest in trinder?

What for Cipriani and Croft?

If I'm honest, because of his potential it would take lcd/savea unless you could get one of your 2nd rows involved and I can include Hooper in a bulked put deal

Slightly gone off Tulou mate, just not sure how he is rated.

Not really interested in letting Zirka go. Would need genuine world class back

Mat, I'll be completely honest, i have no idea who to suggest for him as my rating of players seems to be at odds with pretty much everybody else at the moment.

I could do him for Romain Taofifenua mate.

Not too keen on losing Vahaamahina if I'm honest, was looking at pairing him and Taofifenua together.  Also interested in Matera.  What about Taofifenua and Matera for Malherbe and Millo-Chluski?

Keen on robson

Robson?

Goosen and Robson from that list interest me.

Etzbeth, Botha, Matera, Kudriani, Folau also do Interest me

I don't know what else to suggest player swap wise then mate.  Still happy for a straight swap Malherbe for Taofifenua is you change your mind.

Trying to cut down on my 2nd rows, thought it was Dan Robson you had going! Would take academy for hooper

Problem is I'm trying to cut down a bit on squad numbers! Hooper + ? + ? For D.Robson and G.Robson

Mainly trying to cut down numbers and want to keep hold of Bennett. Sounds sikky but would you do Hooper + someone for g.robson +academy member

Slipper, Messam and Williams
for
Evans, Botha and Folau

Wouldn't sell Tuilagi at all, once he is back to full fitness he's one of the best attacking threats around and build my backline around him.

These are the guys that I have available:

PR Trevor Nyakane (South Africa) (1)
PR Adam Jones (Wales) (3)
LK/BS Mitch Lees (Australia)
N8 CJ Stander (South Africa)
SH Cobus Reinach (South Africa)
SH Gareth Davies (Wales)
FH Rhys Priestland (Wales)
FH James Hook (Wales)
WG/CE Vereniki Goneva (Fiji)

Slipper > Evans
Messam > Botha
Williams < Folau

That was how I saw it

That's fair enough mate. Maybe it is because he is my player but think Slipper is occasionally rated harshly on here. May be the Aussie reputation. He is a top player in the loose and by now I think his work in the scrum is good. He cannot carry a scrum but alongside a decent unit he is good and is still young himself

Who is available?

Sorry mate, Smith is the clear best in the world in his position, would need somebody wh is best in the world in another position to even consider selling him.

Beast
Richie Grey
Eben Etzbeth
George Robson
Willem Alberts
Tom croft
Jamie heaslip
Wycliff Palu
Dan Carter
Israel Folau
Handre pollard

Not interested in Wood. I'd consider it with Dan Robson instead

Hmm. Clever offer. But not quite enough to lose louw mate sorry. I'd want alberts really and guess you're looking to combine the flankers.

Are you planning on releasing him?

Yea I like him but he's just not greatly kicked on which is a shame.

I'll give you 1.5m?

Yea no bother

I've watched him all season mate, don't need an article to tell me about him. I think he's a very good player but just not that good a 7 in the natural sense. His pace and carrying in the channels is superb.

Not interested at 5m mate.

Can't lose Foden I'm afraid, one of my favourite players and key for my team this year as trying to get some good quality EQ for when England play, as should hopefully have Hartley, Paterson, Manu, Simpson and Foden as my starting players for then.

Dan Robson + Willem Alberts

for

Kyle Sinckler + Jan Serfontein

Not a chance

Best lock in world for a 15-20th fly half and the 2nd best lock in his family.

To lose Whitelock I have to get someone world class in return (top 3 in position)

Cant do that as need to keep hold of my opensides.....an area I need to strengthen

You've offered me that before...

Alright mate, bringing your page back towards the top

Anything for Dagg and Cipriani?

What for Camara

Not losing Hill for non EQ unless they are a superstar

Anything for Naiyavaro and Cipriani?

Sorry matt, I would like to keep hold of Chat, he looks a prospect!

TJ, Robson, Dagg?

Protheroe? Also, you've added the wrong Thacker!

TJ & Matera?

Won't be losing Lood mate, anything else?

That was the offer!

Protheroe for Hill

Difficult to say with Hill too, because he is just starting to get game time, but is obviously still a rookie

Alberts or Matera for cash?

Pleased with Du Toit. He and Etzebeth should be the SA lock combo for the foreseeable now they play week in week out. 

Not losing Gorgodze. Too important to my side.

Haha...we'll leave that one there then!

Can you confirm or reject the deal we had

Would have to be after my foreign signing so I'd imagine it won't be enough
