What for Sam Hill mate?

Galan and Dominic bird or Richie Gray for white lock

Do you want to get Galan involved in a deal for Hogg. Could add to my side of the deal

Only wingers I am interested in are north and Wade.

Anything for them ??

Gorgodze and Hooper aren't for sale.

Matthews and TPN

Haywood and Romano?

Could sell you Galan for cash if you want ?

25 mil

What for Haywood then?

Kitch, Gill?

Not interested in that one mate.

Like?

Not after another centre mate, but would do Priestland and Ruddock for Patchell and Ewells?

I'm looking at keeping all of my young locks as it is an area that I have struggled with and he's just made the SA training squad so will be worth keeping.

If I dropped Ewels from the deal would Ruddock and Priestland tempt you? Could probably throw in another international, or one of Will Hooley or Sam Olver, both in Eng u20s squad?

And Jonny Gray...

Well if Ruddock, Priestland and Phillips could tempt you...

Haskell & Dunn?

Big deal for Whitelock?

What for Haywood mate?

Straight swap for Buchanan?

Dunn/Haywood + £8m 
=
Cronin

?

Also what for Sam Hill?

Sorry mate I read your original offer the wrong way round!

Thought you were offering Creevy & £8m for Cronin. Not the other way around! Cronin is a beast in the loose and has been working hard on his darts. Can't see how Creevy is worth more.

Faumuania?

Sivi, Hogg?

Haskell?

Faletau is a level up at the moment. Anyone else interest you?

Haywood is over age bringing you to the max so a release will be needed once any bid has been accepted.

Date of births for the academy boys are below. Could you add them to your squad page please.

No mate.

Ben T, Kitchener, North, Hogg

Gill?

Not the world's biggest Lydiate fan, would probably need SOB or Haskell as EQ involved for Le Roux

What for Romano mate?

Messem

What for Gill?

Put in on confirms

Wade, SOB?

I'd need bigger involved for JD2 but could possibly let him go

Galan for Sam Hill

Galan for Allende?

Hi Mate ,

This is the team i'll be fielding next week , it's my AI team.

Mullen , McGuigan , Stevens , Slater , Kruger , Mowen , Fraser , Ewers; Phipps , Miller , Kirbridge , Barritt , Sailli , Sharples , Pitatau

Sam Hill or Beale ? What for

Whitelock, Wade?

Sam Hill?

Couldn't see a straight swap but could see a deal involving someone like Tameifuina or one of your locks

Big Ben, Romano/Kitchener, Kolisi/Haskell, Horne

Kilcoyne, AWJ, Vito, Campagnaro

How can Wade need Ashton and a gain lol.....Ashton is incumbent England 14!

Ok will
Pass on Beale if you want WC. He is a bench player for wallabies although a very good one but definitely not WC for me as he does not have a position where he is WC. A great option for you though as covers 10/12 and 15

What for whitelock ( absolutely WC) or Hogg

Wade is untested, he may be a flop like May

Hardly incumbent after that last test. Got a 3/10 in quite a few papers due to defence meltdown by him in that game and that was maybe generous. Savea is a brute but even so.

England have no clear first choice wingers only person in back 3 guaranteed a place is brown.

Don't think we will see Ashton in an England shirt again after that.
Lancaster has never trusted him and think that last game will have validated it.maybe unfairly.
I think may may get cast aside similarly by Lancaster.

Ashton eastmond and May were pretty universally seen to have gone backward in the pecking order after the NZ tour.
Personally thought May was decent in first
Test and his defence for England has been very sound.

11,12 and 14 are unresolved positions for England.
Yarde seems to be favoured and he has been shaky going back but strong going forward.

Everything up for grabs this season and wade is probably in a better position for not having played

Happy to agree to disagree

Is that Arno Botha you would want in a deal ?

What areas are you trying to strengthen ?

Hey mate I'm throwing out a 6Ns side this week to get an idea for ratings
