Tactics

Ah well, never mind, doesn't look like we'll get anywhere then.

Ewers?

I'll pass then mate, as would need to release somebody anyway as Ewers can't go into my academy.

I'd want Davies coming my way for all them bar Masoe and Payne

I could get WC involved for JD

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'll give you Mowen and Sharples for JD + Ewers?

Top international and a big step up from Ewers and your other 6s.

I'd throw Payne in if Lee Byrne comes my way.

I'd say Falatau is world class , he's in the top 3 in his position without a doubt.

I'm not going to do a ridiculous deal though. The gap between Toby and Ewers is a massive one and is younger by 9 days

The only 8 that I would be interested in is Ewers mate, and I think we've already struggled with that one once.

Ewers + Mullen for SBW and Waller

Not interested in losing Falatau or Read.

I'm only willing to lose Masoe from my 8s.

JD?

JD in a deal for any of those, The only one who i wouldn't sell to you is Youngs as theres no one level or better than him

JDV + ?

for

SBW + Waller

JDV + Ewers

for

SBW + Ashton?

I'll do that if i can keep Masoe till end of AIs?

Afraid not mate

Pocock we will be in different places for
Lobbe and FDP both need big deals. Rate them both as top three on there position

I want Davies back

Cheers for the Pisi update  

Going to wait until transfer window before making any deals or changes. After a few players and need to see I can get them.

None of the 9s will be going all of them looking good at moment. Murray in particular gets better every game. Wish he was English

Difficult to let Hines go as always available with good ratings. Only lock I'd consider losing him for is flip.

Madigan definitely not for sale, but Siviatu is. Just not sure who for as I really struggle come 6Nations with wings, espc if Wade gets called up by England, which I think he will

I don't think we will agree on Pocock cos I will want a value close to his optimum whereas I'm sure you will try to get a deal close to current form.

Whitelock best lock in the world and part of the AB combo for me, it will take gigantic!

One of Parra and FDP could leave but would still need a big'un

What for the scrummies then?

Mullen, Burrell, Davies, Steyn and Ashton are main interests

Gap between Parra and Burgess is rather bigger IMO

no mate hes awesome. cant be letting him go.

beattie i would sell

interested in masoe, benjamin, deacon, mullan

im losing out too much there mate.

dont really want to lose delon hes ideal EQ, quality player but doesnt play internationally. gold dust.

Masoe + Deacon + Flip Van Der Merwe

Beattie + barrow + AWJ

not sure on that. not sure i want to include AWJ.

Masoe + Deacon
for
Beattie + Barrow

cant really see anything to add on to that

thats fair enough but this is Masoe last season at Toulon he might go Japan or retire so im taking a risk there so not going any bigger.

ok.

either way, im struggling to see anything at the moment

I'd be keen on Thompstone but I would also need a replacement tight head. Anything come to mind?

No interest in losing my youngsters in that deal. Think I'm going to leave it to be honest see how Brookes gets on

No mate not losing awj for pierre

I'd be pretty keen on JDV as your strong in the centres but can't lose too much for him due to his age and also not massively keen on letting Brookes go.

Would be looking at something like

Brookes + Fritz

Thompstone + JDV

Auterac and Alo for Woodburn, Skuse and Ellis

Isn't leaving

NFS

I know you do but our squads haven't moved since we failed to get close to a deal last time so still likely to struggle

I need a replacement back in any deal or else I only have 2 scrummies

Vermaak

Not close. Two gains to you IMO and I lose the quality. JVN wouldn't be in team

Usual suspects

Not really interested in Tiaanburg or Guest sorry fella! Hoping your not going for the same hooker as me in forgeins too!!

Yeah sorry man just going through all the deals as I've had time to sit down! Gag nabit I want him, unless you give me whitehead!!
