by CJB Sat Apr 14, 2012 2:57 pm

Think they are each a bit steep for someone who wouldn't start for me.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Apr 14, 2012 3:08 pm

What do you think is unrealistic for Lahiff? I may be able to let a better player go

by CJB Sat Apr 14, 2012 3:21 pm

Cian Healy, only think Tonga is better

by 'Arry Spurs Sat Apr 14, 2012 5:40 pm

Don't want to lose Brown mate.

by Guest Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:46 am

What for ransom

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Apr 15, 2012 10:09 am

Ransom + Watson 4m?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Apr 15, 2012 10:25 am

I'll do 1.5m for Watson?

by Guest Sun Apr 15, 2012 10:47 am

I would do cash for ransom if you decide to

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Apr 15, 2012 11:46 am

Didn't want to do more than 1.5m, no probs

by Driver Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:02 pm

What for Johnathan Davies?

by Driver Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:09 pm

Ok dude , Any of the following for sale

Gary Botha
Steve Borthwick
Tom Johnson
Mark Cueto

by Driver Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:15 pm

George Pisi is gone mate

by Guest Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:59 pm

What for mullan pete ??

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Apr 15, 2012 3:23 pm

One of the many lol

Would need one of Dusa or BdP involved for Bruss mate

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Apr 15, 2012 3:30 pm

Obviously need something to benifit me too lol...ie a starter. No probs fella

by Steven_Sharks Sun Apr 15, 2012 8:50 pm

Has Luke given you his side for this week or will he be back to post it?

by Steven_Sharks Sun Apr 15, 2012 8:56 pm

Oh I'm not worried about when its posted that just wanted to know if he would be around as I try not to post tactics until other side is named usually but if he isn't about it isnt an issue.

by stnick88 Sun Apr 15, 2012 8:56 pm

Who else u interested in apart from steffon? Yarde and anyone else? I'm after mullan and lambie

by Steven_Sharks Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:17 pm

This might not interested you with the 40 man squad limit but would you do Ransom for Steenson?

And also out of interest I believe Steenson could now play for England through residency. Could I have him as an EQ as prop did with Morgan before he was declared for England?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue Apr 17, 2012 1:52 pm

Its a great offer Pete but im a a massive fan of Cruden and to let him go with the form hes in I'd want to be improving my EQ or getting world class in return

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:14 pm

I'm looking to improve props, hooker, 7 and IC and would need top quality to let him go as he's hitting form.

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:26 pm

Would you chuck in a winger for McCalman in that?

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:28 pm

Wouldn't do Visser?

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:34 pm

Ahh what?! And i'm guessing you wouldn't let Trimble go?

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:46 pm

Give me 5 mins...........

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:49 pm

So we're looking at:
Habana + McCalman
for
Beast + Botha + Short + Ransom + Mapusua?!

Is that right?

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:52 pm

Go on then!!! I'm slowly learning this dealing thing!! Going to put them in bold on my team so I remember!!

by Driver Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:56 pm

I'm not overly keen on losing Tui as i'm more than likely missing Alexander and Kruger for first 8 weeks of season.

by prop_lyd Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:58 pm

Ok cheers fella Ok!

should help my front row out

by prop_lyd Fri Apr 20, 2012 11:51 am

Seeing as I'm on a raid....could be intersted in Scaysbrook...could give you Thorpe/Chabal so you get some releases money?

by prop_lyd Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:16 pm

Ok no problem, just thought I'd try! Can't let Walker go as he seems highly rated on and outside this game!!

by stnick88 Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:25 pm

not really interested in lawson
am in mullan and lahiff though.

by Sgt_Pooly Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:28 pm

by Driver Tue Apr 24, 2012 11:38 pm

by Guest Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:27 pm

Mullan ?? What for him

by dammit_chris Sun Apr 29, 2012 11:21 am

would you do Stevens and Geraghty for Mullan?

by dammit_chris Mon Apr 30, 2012 11:22 am

no problem at all - got about 5-6 people asking after Stevens at the moment.

just really need to sort out my front row as think vast majority of my team will be available for the start of the season - think I only lose Messam and Albacete to the Rugby Championship!

by LukeLovesLuka Fri May 04, 2012 8:55 pm

Any deals for Zanni and Visser?

by LukeLovesLuka Fri May 04, 2012 10:08 pm

What would you be after for Zanni, i'll try to put something together.

by LukeLovesLuka Sat May 05, 2012 11:51 am

Zanni + JvN + Ranger
