by Guest Tue 14 Jun 2011, 1:14 pm

Jamie Roberts + james Hanks for Williams?

by stnick88 Tue 14 Jun 2011, 2:28 pm

pete I didnt sell you mapusua for you to just offer him to other people willy nilly. treat him with some respect please!!

by stnick88 Tue 14 Jun 2011, 2:58 pm

I'm only messing about, there is no way I would ever have sold him if he wasnt moving to Japan! A bit suprised he is going there, he had big offers from France.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 14 Jun 2011, 5:00 pm

Sorry mate not overly keen to lose AWJ he ggives me some good depth. Would let hamilton go though. Would be looking for a fringe international or good Ap standard back in retrun though thumbsup

by 'Arry Wed 15 Jun 2011, 11:35 am

Haha cheers mate I noticed this time! Wink

by Guest Wed 15 Jun 2011, 11:54 am

Only Joking. some people are using them for negotiations also to keep things out of the publicc domain!!

by dammit_chris Wed 15 Jun 2011, 6:10 pm

hi mate, not really keen to offload Attwood after I got rid of Kitchener to you - (i) I'm short on locks and (ii) I need him during the WC.

by Driver Thu 16 Jun 2011, 2:24 pm

What would you offer for Smit?

by Guest Fri 17 Jun 2011, 11:44 am

What for Mercey

by 'Arry Sat 18 Jun 2011, 3:23 pm

I'm still very interested in Mike Brown mate

by 'Arry Sat 18 Jun 2011, 3:29 pm

Interested in Jon Davies too

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 18 Jun 2011, 6:52 pm

You still looking for a 5?

by Driver Mon 27 Jun 2011, 10:15 pm

What for Mike Brown mate?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 30 Jun 2011, 9:12 am

Could maybe loan you Lindsay if Hore doesn't get called up

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 11:22 am

I've got you first fixture of the season mate...bring it on!!!

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 12:29 pm

Pete what for Mike Brown I'm really keen on him!

by stnick88 Thu 30 Jun 2011, 12:32 pm

what for brown?

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 12:43 pm

Want to keep hold of Borthwick for now...is there anything else we could do, so desperate to get him!

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 12:56 pm

I'd do Kitchener and Brown for Borthwick.

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 1:01 pm

Wouldn't do a straight swap for Slipper mate, unless you added something in at your end.

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 1:09 pm

Fair enough, just feel that Slipper has the potential to become a great player. Anything else for Brown? Also interested in Trinder and Twelvetrees.

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 1:17 pm

I'm just not keen on Schofield mate. Think Borthwick will be a big asset to me during the international periods. Would you replace Schofield with anyone else to make the deal look like this?

Brown + ?
for
Borthwick

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 30 Jun 2011, 1:19 pm

What for Schofield?

by Guest Thu 30 Jun 2011, 1:40 pm

Its always a frustrating negotiation isn't it Pete. never easy!!

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 1:42 pm

I'll think about Schofield and Brown for Borthwick.

by Driver Thu 30 Jun 2011, 2:01 pm

Hi pete

Could you do the teamsheets this week if I send you the codes? I'd do them myself but I wasn't planning on my kitchen roof falling in lol I'm coaching tonight and fitting a new bath tomorrow so I'll have next to no time

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 30 Jun 2011, 2:03 pm

Fair offer Pete, would you consider

Brown + Schofield

Classsens + Slater

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 30 Jun 2011, 2:07 pm

I see Claassens just above Schofield, so was looking to tweak. No probs mate.

by Guest Thu 30 Jun 2011, 2:20 pm

I would be interested in Schofirld and Brown also

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 30 Jun 2011, 2:23 pm

I've had a think....

I'll deal on Claassens for Schofield if you're happy thumbsup

by stnick88 Thu 30 Jun 2011, 4:50 pm

sorry mate nfs, think fourie will be my starting 7 as it seems armitage isnt rated that highly by a few!

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 4:59 pm

Pete if you're still happy I'll deal on Schofield and Brown for Borthwick.

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 5:08 pm

Ok mate, don't sell them without letting me know please!

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 7:57 pm

We got a deal mate?

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 9:35 pm

So just to confirm

Brown and Schofield

for

Borthwick

Deal mate, nice one

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 9:43 pm

Nice one mate, think that's our first deal ever! Not that interested in Maps mate don't think we'll hear that much of him now he's not playing in the AP. Are any of the following available Henry Trinder, Billy Twelvetrees and Jonathon Davies?

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 9:45 pm

I've stuck it on confirms

by 'Arry Thu 30 Jun 2011, 9:50 pm

Fair enough, what would you want for Maps then?

by stnick88 Fri 01 Jul 2011, 3:21 pm

cueto, lambie, corbs interest me

by Guest Sat 02 Jul 2011, 12:21 am

Fourie Lewis hazell and Donald for Lambie, hodgson and elstadt

by CJB Wed 06 Jul 2011, 2:53 pm

This is dependent on me dealing with Irish or else I need EQ elsewhere

Beast + Chuter 4 Mears + Perugini

by dammit_chris Wed 06 Jul 2011, 5:40 pm

Not sure if any of these are of interest but I am looking to trim my squad a little bit before the new season.

by CJB Wed 06 Jul 2011, 7:14 pm

Damn looking for a WC lock

by 'Arry Fri 08 Jul 2011, 2:36 pm

It would have to be a very special offer to get him off me mate.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri 08 Jul 2011, 3:05 pm

Hey pete only one of those id consider letting go right now without a ridiculous offer is Bezy. Who you got available?

by Driver Sat 09 Jul 2011, 1:58 pm

I would be interested in him but only as a loan deal. Anybody from my bunch take your interest

by Driver Sat 09 Jul 2011, 2:12 pm

Yeah no problem

by 'Arry Sat 09 Jul 2011, 2:39 pm

I'm looking for a starting openside flanker and a replacement number eight. Cheers for the feedback on my squad mate, really hoping to push on this season and climb up the table!
