I'd swap hill for him

by dammit_chris Fri 16 Mar 2012, 5:43 pm

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 Fri 16 Mar 2012, 6:27 pm

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 Fri 16 Mar 2012, 6:28 pm

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

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 16 Mar 2012, 8:27 pm

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

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 16 Mar 2012, 8:35 pm

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 Fri 16 Mar 2012, 9:14 pm

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

by 'Arry Spurs Sat 17 Mar 2012, 10:46 am

Morning mate, really interested in Mullan and Kitchener.

Robinson + Tuohy

for

Mullan + Kitchener

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

by Guest Sat 17 Mar 2012, 12:10 pm

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 20 Mar 2012, 9:56 am

Tough break mate, 5 weeks is harsh

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 20 Mar 2012, 4:03 pm

Nothing else for Goode mate?

by CJB Tue 20 Mar 2012, 4:53 pm

Ah shut forgot he went in that deal!

by CJB Tue 20 Mar 2012, 4:59 pm

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

by CJB Tue 20 Mar 2012, 5:07 pm

by Driver Tue 20 Mar 2012, 5:07 pm

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 Tue 20 Mar 2012, 7:16 pm

Cole pretty much NFS mate, sorry.

by stnick88 Wed 21 Mar 2012, 3:16 pm

Ioane/Mullan/Hodgson/Parra available?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 01 Apr 2012, 9:22 am

Mullen, Lambie, Trinder, Goode?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 09 Apr 2012, 8:57 pm

Payne + Cowen-Dickie

For

Goode

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 09 Apr 2012, 9:10 pm

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 10 Apr 2012, 1:38 pm

I'd be interested in Timmathy Visser

by Driver Tue 10 Apr 2012, 2:10 pm

Could maybe get Fitz involved but not just for Visser

by Driver Tue 10 Apr 2012, 2:27 pm

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 Tue 10 Apr 2012, 2:59 pm

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

End of season good for you?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 10 Apr 2012, 4:39 pm

Fancy anything for Mullen?

by CJB Tue 10 Apr 2012, 7:47 pm

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

by CJB Tue 10 Apr 2012, 10:31 pm

Can add others to deals

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

Not really sure tbh

by CJB Tue 10 Apr 2012, 10:48 pm

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

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Apr 2012, 9:37 am

Fancy something big for BdP?

Also interested in Mullen, Jones, Trinder

by stnick88 Wed 11 Apr 2012, 10:39 am

Mullan, lahiff and lambie??

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Apr 2012, 10:53 am

What English are you interested in?

by stnick88 Wed 11 Apr 2012, 11:01 am

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

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Apr 2012, 11:21 am

What English could I do for Mullen?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Apr 2012, 11:29 am

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

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Apr 2012, 11:37 am

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 11 Apr 2012, 12:30 pm

Visser for Fitzgerald?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Apr 2012, 12:32 pm

Yea it's tough with Props.

Lambie?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 11 Apr 2012, 12:42 pm

Not sure who you like mate

by stnick88 Wed 11 Apr 2012, 2:39 pm

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

by 'Arry Spurs Wed 11 Apr 2012, 3:09 pm

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

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 14 Apr 2012, 1:49 pm

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

by dammit_chris Sat 14 Apr 2012, 2:20 pm

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 Sat 14 Apr 2012, 2:34 pm

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!
