by Driver Sat Mar 17, 2012 3:11 am

I'd swap hill for him

by dammit_chris Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:43 am

Chuters not far off retirement I dont think mate, so I dont think I could lsoe Webber in a deal that leaves me short up front in another seasons time.

Do like Ransom though, seems like a good swap you have with Driver there - will do you both good.

I should have said that I saw Sella's son play for the Sarries academy a while back - all Im saying is I wish he was English!

by Guest Sat Mar 17, 2012 5:27 am

I saw in Leicester local paper on tuesday that Julian white and chuter to retire at end of season. Apparently chutes will coach and play where necessary and be a registered player

by Guest Sat Mar 17, 2012 5:28 am

Apparently chuters contract up and they are discussing options as
They want him to say. Good player over the years

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Mar 17, 2012 7:27 am

Would need a flanker coming back mate, only really fancy Dusa.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Mar 17, 2012 7:35 am

If you still had Wood possibly but can't see anything with the flankers you have currently mate. Maybe revisit it in the off season

by stnick88 Sat Mar 17, 2012 8:14 am

what about for FTD?
who do you like except tagi?

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Mar 17, 2012 9:46 pm

Morning mate, really interested in Mullan and Kitchener.

Robinson + Tuohy

for

Mullan + Kitchener

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Mar 17, 2012 9:50 pm

Fair enough, which players of mine would you be interested in for them?

by Guest Sat Mar 17, 2012 11:10 pm

by 'Arry Spurs Mon Mar 19, 2012 7:22 am

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Mar 20, 2012 8:56 pm

Tough break mate, 5 weeks is harsh

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Mar 21, 2012 3:03 am

Ah shut forgot he went in that deal!

by CJB Wed Mar 21, 2012 3:59 am

Fancy keeping him, played all over the shop and is a right talent.

by CJB Wed Mar 21, 2012 4:07 am

by Driver Wed Mar 21, 2012 4:07 am

I'll keep Cowen Dickie , looks a right talent at LH for the U20s.

Any idea of what your 40 man squad is next season? My head spinning lol!

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Mar 21, 2012 6:16 am

Cole pretty much NFS mate, sorry.

by stnick88 Thu Mar 22, 2012 2:16 am

by CJB Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:54 am

Ioane/Mullan/Hodgson/Parra available?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Apr 01, 2012 7:22 pm

Mullen, Lambie, Trinder, Goode?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:57 am

Payne + Cowen-Dickie

For

Goode

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:10 am

I can't see it being an issue but see your concerns as could be man down, pity couldn't put some condition on deal

by Driver Tue Apr 10, 2012 11:38 pm

I'd be interested in Timmathy Visser

by Driver Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:10 am

Could maybe get Fitz involved but not just for Visser

by Driver Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:27 am

Inferior - I like it! lol

Would you do a straight swap? and i'd also be interested in Alex Goode , Ihump and Tom Cowen Dickie.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:59 am

I'd probably go for that Pete, gives me squad issues though!

End of season good for you?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 2:39 am

Fancy anything for Mullen?

by CJB Wed Apr 11, 2012 5:47 am

What kinda player you willing to let go or do you want me to list players I fancy

by CJB Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:31 am

Can add others to deals

Kitchener, your lightheads, A SH, Lambie, Spence, Trinder, Ranger, Trimble

Not really sure tbh

by CJB Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:48 am

Will work out whether I can do it with squad, need to work out if I have full backs etc

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:37 pm

Fancy something big for BdP?

Also interested in Mullen, Jones, Trinder

by stnick88 Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:39 pm

Mullan, lahiff and lambie??

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:53 pm

What English are you interested in?

by stnick88 Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:01 pm

very good offer.
tempting, but you know my feelings for steffon are strong!

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:21 pm

What English could I do for Mullen?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:29 pm

Yea I think PDJ is a little ahead personally, also leaves me lobsided at prop. No probs

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:37 pm

Don't think Brok is that great mate tbh.

TH I like of yours is Jones but delving into a different level of quality there.

by Driver Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:30 pm

Visser for Fitzgerald?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:32 pm

Yea it's tough with Props.

Lambie?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:42 pm

Not sure who you like mate

by stnick88 Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:39 am

sorry mate cant let steffon go.
anything else you can see?

by 'Arry Spurs Thu Apr 12, 2012 1:09 am

Matt Mullan, Graham Kitchener and Jonathon Davies all interest me mate.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Apr 14, 2012 11:49 pm

I'd take Mullen or maybe Lahiff....I know we've struggled with Mullen

by dammit_chris Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:20 am

would be keen on mullan mate, wouldnt lose any starting players for him though as he's probably your 3rd choice LH?

by dammit_chris Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:34 am

he'd be on my bench i think, so def wont lose a starter for him - reckon there are stil lsome good props in t14 and s15 i can find who are better than Mullan - wish Thomas was a LH, he looks a beast for Sale!
