Ok mate

by 'Arry Spurs Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:14 pm

Who would I have to add to get Mullan mate?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Mar 07, 2012 11:13 pm

Any thoughts about:

Mullen + Goode

AAc + ?

by dammit_chris Fri Mar 09, 2012 11:01 am

Will have to have a think mate, as trying to work out the balance for my squad at the moment for when 6Nations are on, and as Messam can play 6 and 8 he's quite valuable for me, and I would need to make sure I had cover for future years!

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:04 pm

Get back to me on Davies, Mullan and Kitchener mate please

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:14 pm

Mullen + Goode?

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:20 pm

Benn Robinson, Tuohy + ?

for

Mullan + Kitchener + Davies

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:25 pm

Losing PDJ although realistic would leave me lob sided.

I'd get Payne in something for Goode, see he's due back in a few weeks too.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:34 pm

No probs, shame he got injured as he was in great form, paid 30m for him too!

Think Ulster could have a dynamite team next season. A back 3 of Trimble/Bowe/Payne is mouth watering

by dammit_chris Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:43 pm

Were you still after Stevens mate?

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:49 pm

Could add Banahan, Monye etc depends which English players of mine you're interested in

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:52 pm

Would still somehow like to get Davies involved mate

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:04 pm

Possibly if the deal was right

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:08 pm

What English would you need to get Mullen involved on top of:

Payne + ?

Goode + Mullen

by dammit_chris Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:58 pm

i paid massive for Lydiate mate, I probably would have done a deal for him if it included Wood, but a lot of my tactics next season are going to be around creating a rock solid defence, with Lawes, Lydiate and Parisse being very important parts of that.

Am very keen on Mullan though

by dammit_chris Sat Mar 10, 2012 9:11 pm

happy to extend it mate, think I have enough cover in second row, and could do with Mullan covering Domingo tbh.

Wonder when Mullan will move from Warriors?

by Driver Sat Mar 10, 2012 9:47 pm

Hit me with a offer mate.

by Driver Sat Mar 10, 2012 10:52 pm

Gary Botha for John Smit?

by Driver Sat Mar 10, 2012 10:58 pm

I'm not keen on that fella , Lawson is dynamite in the loose but not great at the piece which is what my game plan is going to be based round next year with a strong set piece the epicentre of this and Lawson doesn't fit the bill.

Feel free to make me another offer thought.

by LukeLovesLuka Sat Mar 10, 2012 11:08 pm

You'll struggle to get me to sell him but by all means make an offer.

by Driver Sat Mar 10, 2012 11:20 pm

I'll get back to you on that offer mate.

by Driver Sat Mar 10, 2012 11:33 pm

Yeah can do mate

by 'Arry Spurs Sun Mar 11, 2012 10:14 am

How's our current deal looking mate?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 1:48 pm

Any thoughts on potential deal?

by Driver Sun Mar 11, 2012 1:56 pm

Think we were talking Chuter , Traille and Lakafia in a deal for him

by stnick88 Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:32 pm

Any chance of loaning a loosehead?

by Driver Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:40 pm

I'd need a big deal which improves me for Pisi.

by Driver Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:54 pm

I'll go with Lakafia mate

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:21 pm

Sorry mate Kitschoff nfs.

Shame, nothing I can add?

by dammit_chris Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:32 pm

Wouldnt let Daly go mate, I rate him up there with May.

Got some of these available though if you are looking to bump up your English - Cicognini is a very promising young winger playing for Leeds, could be worth a gamble, its just that I have Wade, Elliott and a few others so dont want to hog them!

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:35 pm

I just added him a while back Smile

Looks a cracking prop for 19, didnt expect him to nail LH spot so soon

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:08 pm

If you could get Mullen involved possibly but I don't really want to sell him

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:20 pm

I wasn't looking for straight swap lol. No issues though

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:38 pm

Craig Mitchell for Lahiff?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:47 pm

I just seen you knock Pull back for same offer so thought I would try it lol

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:52 pm

I've advertised on main board but nothing so far, shame as Luke is top manager

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:42 am

Ranger banned mate

http://m.watoday.com.au/breaking-news-sport/blues-winger-ranger-banned-for-two-games-20120312-1utg6.html

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:24 am

You know how highly I rate Cruden mate and payed way over the odds for POM so would need to be a big deal for me to let either go

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:59 pm

Would be very interested in Mullan mate could we work him in some deal?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:12 pm

Think Nallet has retired from Int rugby mate after PSA went crazy and axed half the squad. Been a great servant, cracking player

by dammit_chris Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:11 pm

Anything for Spurling mate?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue Mar 13, 2012 10:30 am

Would prefer to hold onto Cruden mate. Think Lambie is useful but Cruden is looking more and more like the long term Carter replacement

by Driver Tue Mar 13, 2012 12:38 pm

http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3551_7592713,00.html

Nallet's carrier over

by dammit_chris Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:18 pm

Can I have him for free then? He is quite chunky...

by Driver Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:48 pm

I'm after a 6 more than anything else mate so i'd need a BS in a deal for him.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu Mar 15, 2012 9:12 am

Lambie?

by dammit_chris Fri Mar 16, 2012 12:22 pm

what sort of thing for Chuter and Ransom?

by Driver Fri Mar 16, 2012 12:39 pm

What for Ben Ransom?

by Sgt_Pooly Fri Mar 16, 2012 4:00 pm

Could maybe get Brussow in something bigger......

by stnick88 Fri Mar 16, 2012 4:10 pm

anything from me for lambie? or FTD?
