and Mealamu in middle. Wicked front row

by **Ozzy3213** Thu May 26, 2011 7:48 am

Problem I've got is that I will lose Jones and JDP to the World Cup, so Mercey will be my starting tighthead in that period. Would need a pretty good deal to let him go.

by Guest Thu May 26, 2011 8:00 am

Pienaar + ? would get you JDJ.

He is one of my untouchables but am a big pienaar fan

by Sgt_Pooly Thu May 26, 2011 9:54 am

Big deal for Pienaar?

by LukeLovesLuka Thu May 26, 2011 8:27 pm

Wan to keep both Joubert and Waldrom for obvious reasons really.

Easter could be available - would say still better than what you have now?

by CJB Thu May 26, 2011 8:28 pm

All of em for spies Wink

by LukeLovesLuka Thu May 26, 2011 8:54 pm

I think over the next year Waldrom will become the higher rated out of the two. Right now, not sure.

Depends what uyou need from your 8 in your specific side I guess. From an England point of view i'd want to see Easter starting and Waldrom as an impact sub.

In terms of losing Eater - a deal involving Johnson I guess.

Easter + Biggs
for
Johnson + Cato?

by LukeLovesLuka Thu May 26, 2011 9:20 pm

Easter due to reitre from England after the World Cup?

by Driver Thu May 26, 2011 10:01 pm

Marty + ??? for varndell + Basteraud

by **Ozzy3213** Thu May 26, 2011 10:06 pm

George Pisi for Paul Sackey?

by CJB Fri May 27, 2011 2:08 am

If I can have two players then I see a deal?

by CJB Fri May 27, 2011 2:35 am

Varndell + Bast/Zirakshvilli

by CJB Fri May 27, 2011 3:06 am

Not really mate, see him as not too far off Varndell

by 'Arry Fri May 27, 2011 3:11 am

I'd swap Louw for Johnson and Cato.

by CJB Fri May 27, 2011 4:12 am

Deal mate! Got there in the end!

by Sgt_Pooly Fri May 27, 2011 10:04 pm

You making a team of 8's Nick?

Dupey, Rush?

by Driver Fri May 27, 2011 10:05 pm

How about King for Marty?

by Sgt_Pooly Fri May 27, 2011 10:14 pm

Can't lose English starter without English in return....you know how it is lol

Medard + ?

Rush + Dupey

Possible

by CJB Fri May 27, 2011 10:45 pm

Du Plessis, needs international class as I possibly have him lined up elsewhere!

I'd need your players you said were NFS in deals for them....

by CJB Fri May 27, 2011 11:08 pm

JMH + Kaino + Armitage 4 Lobbe + Skinner + Worsley + Fielden + Evans

by CJB Sat May 28, 2011 12:22 am

How could I convince you, Buckland 4 Mears added?

by CJB Sat May 28, 2011 12:49 am

Losing Mears needs English back....

by Driver Sat May 28, 2011 1:04 am

Hernandez available? I'd be looking to use him at 15

by CJB Sat May 28, 2011 1:25 am

Don't think its enough then mate Cry

by 'Arry Sat May 28, 2011 7:30 pm

What for Tom Johnson mate?

by Sgt_Pooly Sat May 28, 2011 8:12 pm

What for Bast mate?

by 'Arry Sat May 28, 2011 10:44 pm

Not for sale mate, sorry!

by Sgt_Pooly Sat May 28, 2011 10:54 pm

Lol...we do struggle. Wouldn't lose AAC for Bast and the other two need English. Ah well.

by CJB Sat May 28, 2011 11:00 pm

JMH + Kaino + Armitage 4 Lobbe + Haughton + Worsley + Fielden + Evans
ENQ

by CJB Sat May 28, 2011 11:12 pm

JMH + Armitage + Marty 4 Skinner + Fielden + Ansboro + Evans
ENQ

by 'Arry Sat May 28, 2011 11:51 pm

Alright mate, I'm interested in Cato what you after for him?

by 'Arry Sat May 28, 2011 11:55 pm

Haskell and Fourie are not for sale mate.

I'd do Louw for Johnson and Cato

by 'Arry Sun May 29, 2011 12:01 am

How about

Louw + Williams
for
Johnson + Cato

by CJB Sun May 29, 2011 12:06 am

Don't really fancy losing one of the best 3 OC's in the world for Marty

by 'Arry Sun May 29, 2011 12:07 am

Johnson is good but not on the same level as Fourie.

What about a straight swap of Louw for Johnson?

by CJB Sun May 29, 2011 12:13 am

I'm sure we got to this point yesterday, I don't think it's enough. I need something elsewhere.

by CJB Sun May 29, 2011 12:19 am

Eventually. I'm more interested in Armitage than Kaino tbh

by CJB Sun May 29, 2011 3:05 am

I'd do something where I get JMH, Armitage and one of your front three??

T.Johnson + JMH 4 James + Worsley
Is a seperate enquiry

by 'Arry Sun May 29, 2011 9:22 pm

To be honest mate I'd only let Fourie go if I was getting a significant gain. I'm happy to hold on to Louw think he will do well at Bath, Johnson has burst onto the scene and I'm not sure whether I would still do that straight swap.

by 'Arry Sun May 29, 2011 9:29 pm

Tonga + Johnson + Cato
=
Fourie + Robinson

by CJB Sun May 29, 2011 9:41 pm

Must admit was quite impressed with what pooly is willing to offer. 2 english and one of the best props in the world! Beat that?

Monye + James 4

by 'Arry Sun May 29, 2011 9:43 pm

I'm really keen on Tonga!! Is there anything at all I could do to prize him off you?

Fourie + ?

for

Johnson + Cato + ?

by CJB Sun May 29, 2011 10:22 pm

I'm talking about franks

And woah no way I'd need a big gain

by 'Arry Sun May 29, 2011 11:28 pm

Make me an offer for Fourie then, I want Johnson and Cato involved mate.

by 'Arry Mon May 30, 2011 4:08 am

Fourie for Johnson and Cato?

by 'Arry Mon May 30, 2011 4:25 am

No mate, Cato and Johnson for Fourie is the only deal I would do. Not interested in Powell or Botes.

by 'Arry Mon May 30, 2011 4:34 am

I need to think on it too mate, big fan of his! I was quite shocked to see he had joined Sale the other day, I thought he was pretty close to joining London Irish?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon May 30, 2011 4:38 am

Prob need Cato for WC cover and then some kind of gain in another position. Your as bad as me and Parra!

by 'Arry Mon May 30, 2011 4:46 am

Ahh right I see. Haskell would be a good signing I've been very impressed with him during the Six Nations and also his performance for Stade in the final the other day.

I've made my mind up and I'm willing to deal on Johnson and Cato for Fourie, what do you think mate?

by dammit_chris Mon May 30, 2011 4:59 am

Would probably do him for Matt Tait?
