Watson not for sale mate, sorry.

Straight swap Castro for Jannie?

Ah well, guess we're struggling again then.

None of those guys are for sale. These are the players I would be prepared to let go in a deal...

JdP + ?
for
Cencus + ?

I'm tempted to offer Horwill/Flip but think overall I'm losing out. What else could you add?

Not to worry.

Can we do something around Burrell?

which williams are you proposing as I have three!

And can't warrant Parra going anywhere at the moment.

Could do just the first two?

Just for loan.

Burrell , Davies , Flip , Fearns and Barrow

Davies?

Who you got in mind?

More chance of me Poopie a gold turd.

My man love for Tim Swinson did tempt me but Slater is a beast and NFS , could break into England set up i reckon.

Wouldn;t do Fraser for Fearns I'm afraid mate

Fraser, not sure. Obviously still keen on Burrell, could give you Scott for the welsh link up. Also slightly less interested in Deacon and Fearns, if that helps formulate something.

FVDM/Burrell

1

Not sure who I would do him for - you got a list of players you think are like for like replacements?

Ideally looking to offload Priestland as opposed to Madigan as have too many guys who can play 10/12.

Pooly was about to bid for batley glos England u18 player
. Seen him in your squad but can't find where you bid for him in releases.

Know you bid on underhill the other glos u18 England lad but can't find when you got batley.

Will bid on him unless you can show otherwise. Meant to be top lad. Sure it's my error so sorry for the oversight but can't find him

Did not know you had batley and was keen to sign him. Went back to January on the national league signings looking to see if anyone had signed him and there is nothing there. When did you sign him

Pooly signed Batley around the same time as signing Paul Hill according to my budget tracker   

Bid is accepted by Chris on page 8 of the nationals page

Is Falateu available

I have offers on the table from others for Corbs and Farrell which you'll need to beat mate. Am struggling to see anything for Vermeulen.

I'd be interested in...

PR Alex Waller (England)
PR Jannie Du Plessis (South Africa)
LK Flip Van Der Merwe (South Africa)
FH Morne Steyn (South Africa)
CE Luther Burrell (England)
CE Jonathan Davies (Wales)

Struggling a it mate, as I like the other offers I have for Corbs and Farrell better than anything I can see here.

Sorry mate, I can't see anything and I like the deal I have with Luke for Corbs.

I'll have a look and see if there is anything for Wilson mate. Am just off out now, but will come back to you later on it.

He's at Wasps

Wrong page sorry!

Waller
Falateu
Steyn
Burrell
Davies
Ashton
Fitzgerald

Who you willing too lose?

would take burrell or jd2 coming back for me to think of letting any of them go

Probably do Bradley Davies for Madigan?

Haven't you been slating Cane all season? lol.

I am having to wait a bit to see how bad Pocock's injury is as Cane has been looking good this season and I don't have that much at openside.

Which of your academy are you releasing to accommodate walker?

What for Waller and Flip mate?

Whitelock needs silly
Robshaw and Hill need big
I need a decent offer for Gill because of his potential
Hogg needs Tait and a big gain

Wasn't planning on selling Watson, as the kid is seriously talented, but am happy to listen to offers.

I like both players you mention, but have had them both before and for some reason they got marked down and no idea why! So wont look to deal on that one.

parra interests me

Throw in Phillips? Not sure who I'd want back.

Who would you let go for dus?

Flip, deacon, thompstone, crotty

Not sure I can let him go after selling Tipuric.

Would really need a sh 7 back.

Dus for George Smith + ?

5 mil?
