Saracens Rugby Football Club

Well I've been watching S15 for about 12hrs now....

This Elstadt lad looks a real prospect, very raw but seems to have a great game about him. Only being playing lock for a year I heard, can see him and Flip having a right tussle post WC!

Not so impressed with a few other S15 players in the game I'd not seen much of, but you can't win them all.

How is that Pretorious lad not 1st choice SH for the Boks, he looks better every time I see him.

what for naqa, 12T, brown, botha, mercey ?

Would be interested in Brown, where are you looking to improve?

Also very keen on Mullan!

sorry fourie nfs...anything else?

schofield, mapusua
for
botha, naqalevuki

Couldnt lose Webber mate, as if I lost him I'd be down to hookers that no one has heard of during the WC - where are you looking to improve?

Mike Brown really interests me, depends who you'd want in return for him though mate.

Would need a replacement at hooker

Anything for Kitchener?

What for Narraway pete

Cool I will leave it. Was looking at him as a squad player.

He was second choice to Deacon for most of the season and then came on strong once Deacon got injured

Really good leader. Personally i think he should be on the plane as back up to Easter.

How about

John Smit + Matt Smith

for

Rene Ranger?

sorry mate no interest in smith

Let me have a think about the Brown deal mate, I dont think Kankowski will make the Springbok team for the WC, and I'm a bit short in that area - with him I can have a combination of Taylor, Rees and Kankowski, with Watson on the bench. And in the 15 shirt, I can always push Cips back.

thought Kitchener would end up at Tigers, be interesting to see how much game time he gets - will start 4-5th choice, been a better move for him initially to go to Gloucester or somewhere where he is guaranteed a start. Excellent prospect!

How about

John Smit + Matt Smith for Adam Jones

Smit covers all the front row and Smith covers the back 3 and 13 along with being EQ.

Jones is always injured which affects his ratings massively.

I'd rather have Ojo mate

No thanks mate.

Would you do a straight swap for Corbisiero?

Who would you be willing to lose for him?

How about

Smit + Powell for Chuter and John Davies

Johnson isn't going anywhere mate.

These are a few players of mine who are for sale, that may interest you:

HK Damien Varley (Ireland)
FL Jacques Burger (Namibia)
SH Mike Blair (Scotland)
FH Nicky Little (Fiji)
CE Will Chambers (Australia)
WG Drew Mitchell (Australia)

Fair enough, make me an offer for him and we'll see what happens.

Back 3 I want to improve mate

No deal, not interested in Scaysbrook.

I am, but I need a quality seven who is really rated on here.

Stankovich + Benjamin

Mullen + Brown

Enq

I know he was good last season, but if I'm to lose Mitchell I need quality coming my way.

I'm happy with getting Brown but want someone else as well who I rate. I'm interested in Cueto, Trinder and Kitchener.

Trinder looking good. Getting george for him is the long game. Front row take time. I have an absurd amount of good hookers but it is a key position.

Once trinder has bulked and can carry in to contact without losing the ball he will be deadly. Quickest players at Gloucester are 1 may 2 sharples and 3 trinder.

Trinder almost equal with sharples pace wise which makes
Him crazy dangerous on outside break.

Like
13s to have the turn of pace. That is why tindall kills opportunities with his lack of pace. Trinder a Bolter for wc

Could maybe change Benjamin to Ojo....

I thought you liked your scummaging props..."best scummaging LH in the AP" according to Ben Kay! lol

No probs fella

what sort of thing would you be wanting for him? I do like him, but not so sure what other people think of him on here

Not sure sorry, think on current form it want to keep him!

I do like Smith, but I dont think people on here particularly rate him and given I have got a few people who can play 13 its not really worth losing a prop who can play both sides of the scrum for him. So will give that one a miss mate

No way mate. It improves my depth yes, but the gulf in class between my players and your players in that deal is unreal.

Yeah 5 full internationals for 4 in return who are some of my best players. Tom Johnson isn't going anywhere at all neither is TPN. Barnes and Slipper could go but the offer would have to be good mate.

My luck just gets better and better doesn't it! Probably my best player retiring, great!

He soon will be. Right hit me with an offer and lets get re building my squad. I will try to be as realistic as possible with my valuations of players. Tom Johnson is not for sale at all though.

Haskell is one of my players who I don't want to lose. I could replace him with Burger if you're interested in him at all?

I'm not very keen on Alessandro Zanni, Rodney So'oialo, Ollie Smith or Seilala Mapusua to be honest mate.

Could Twelvetrees and Trinder be included at all mate?

Not interested in Smith or Matavesi mate. Would you replace Smith with Twelvetrees and Matavesi with a winger of yours, would add something in at my end too.

Sorry mate no interest in Smith. Would maybe do Kvesic for 36?

what for trinder?

Tough one really. Tom Palmer has been in the World Class bracket of late and is English.

It would need Tom Wood + Corbs or another decent english player which i know you would not want to do.

He starts for me even if there was no EQ player rule which is fairly rare in this game.

sorry mate nfs

Would need to be a biggy for Borthwick

LDCPete wrote:Dean Schofield, Ollie Smith, Josh Matavesi and £8 million for Steve Borthwick.

Nope as i'm at 55 players at the moment and i don't think Schofield , Smith are rated and Matavista hasn't kicked on the way i thought he would have.

How about

Borthwick + Delve + Smit for JVN + Chuter?

Sorry mate Bekker isnt for sale and especially to you! Would be suicidal to give you the stormers and next Bok lock combo

Jeez you are in the market for a english 2nd row in a big way.

Borthwick is the marmites marmite.

Make an offer but It will probs take a lot to let him go!
