Released from Squad-

nah too much going on mate sorry

Hari & Slade & 1/2p
for
McCalman & Wilko & Williams

Chuck in Rees for Hartley?
----------------------------------

lol NO

I would go as afar as Swazzer for Rees in that

but i am also waiting on another offer from someone

Sorry mate really don't fancy losing Kaino. Take out Whitelock + Lawes from both sides

No thanks mate

Dont thinking gain a great deal, whilst losing about quite a bit. Sorry mate.

Croft & Hougaard & Roberts & Heymans
4
Thomson & Kelleher & Davies & Kirchner & 5m

Thanks

its a good deal, but personal preference for Rocky and im about to buy a new 8 to improve on waldrom anyways. thanks for the offer

Can't see the bid on my page, can you repost it?

Your last deal was great and if i didn't have 24m to spend, i would accept! Just about to make a move for an one of 2 8s, both of which are higher then mccalman!

looking back at the top tens, there are still 2, maybe 3 players that havn't been bought and mccalman scrapes onto a few lists. personally i really rate mccalman and like him, hence why i bought him originally!

can't do that lock deal, got a much better offer from leicester. loaned out 3rd and 4th choice locks for 10m, so still have cover and now cash for an 8! whoop!

Well I want Croft, McCalman, Hougaard and Roberts involved in a deal if Parisse is involved.

Croft & McCalman & Hougaard & Roberts

Thomson & Parisse & Kelleher & Davies

Best offer I could put out on the table.

Oh yeah sorry.

Croft & McCalman & Hougaard & Lawes
4
Thomson & Parisse & Kelleher & Chisholm

?

Only for 1 week though, Davies was injured for three to four.

Playing Bardy or getting someone in for a week wouldn't be much harm?

Du Preez + McCalman + Wilkinson + Ansbro + Aplon
=
Kelleher + Parisse + Donald + Hook + Poitrenaud

Good deal, but I have to be picky Ansbro 4 Hook is a very big loss and will mess my centres right up. Instead of them I can only think.

Lawes 4 Chisholm
Croft 4 Thomson
Ansbro 4 Davies

Sorry

Stade bid 13m for Julien Bardy

Accept or reject on foreigns page by close of play 28/06/11

Du Preez + McCalman + Wilkinson + Ansbro + Aplon
=
Kelleher + Parisse + Donald + Davies + Poitrenaud

No selling Parisse would disrupt my forwards big time, he is my best player, but then getting Du Preez and Wilkinson would be a bonus, but prefer Poitrenaud to Aplon.

But Kelleher isn't a weakness by any means, Parisse is my main player and he is too good to let go for one of the best youngsters in the game, but not ideal enough to put in my back row.

It was never a definite, I didn't really change my mind.

Something I thought on, but rather have Parisse and as Kelleher isn't a weakness I reject.

I would do

TOL + Picamoles + Sharpe + Bruno

for

Du Preez + McCallman + Lawes + Rees

No thanks mate.

Strong offer mate. You know Clerc is injured till weeek 16?

I'd probably deal if you added Brwon for Croft

I'd say if Palmer is injured till week 17 that evens the deal out....

With Plamer out for such a long time mate I would need the 6's included really.

Yeh if you healed him i'd deal

I would do

TOL + Picamoles + Matfield + Bruno

for

Du Preez + McCallman + Lawes + Rees

Confirm if your happy

I need a big gain from that as Rees/Bruno i what made the deal for me.

How about we add Woodcock for Barcella

Croft & Du Preez & Aplon & Ansbro

Thomson & Kelleher & Poitrenaud & J.Davies

Croft & Aplon & Ansbro

Thomson & Poitrenaud & J.Davies

Poitrenaud is better than Aplon.

None for sale sorry

Croft & Hougaard & Clerc
4
Thomson & Kelleher & Guildford

?

You prefer Hougaard over Kelleher

What about Heymans for Kirchner or Aplon 4 Poitrenaud instead of Clerc 4 Guildford.

Lawes + FdP + McCalman
=
Thorn + Genia + Spies

---

Good offer mate but I don't think there's enough of a gain in there to lose Thorn.

Would be looking for a big player to lose Thorn - namely Croft or McCaw. Big fan of Lawes but not a scratch on Thorn (yet). Genia = Du Preez and the other gains are minimal.

Not sure.

Any interest in Russouw/Williams or if I can include Frans Steyn? Could be a 9/10 combo with Du Preez or a back three combo with Aplon and Hougaard?

Lawes + JMH + Croft
=
Thorn + Flood + Bonnaire

enq

Not sure I'll be able to do it then mate. I rate Genia = Du Preez, probably higher to be honest. Genia is young, very exciting and playing well. Du Preez isn't has popular as he was.

Whats your HC semi final predictions for Leicester v Ospreys?

Once yours is in i can publish results, cheers

I'd want a gain somewhere else if i'm honest mate

FDP + JMH + Croft

for

Youngs + Carter + Taylor

Um, i would get 18m for both in releases! No point selling for cheaper to a rival! Would be looking for more then 18

Seriously mate, 9m! They are worth 18m!

Its not worth me doing that at all. Would have to be 15m, which is still a bargain

i'd be looking for 13m min.

don't know that anyone else won't pay that. come injuries, my 6 locks will come in handy!

just no point me giving you a lock for 1 mil extra then release value.

Your go on the draft mate, can get a lock in for free! Rather trying to mug me off! ha

Let me see what happens when the draft is finished and I will let you know. Cheers

Ayerza & Croft & Hernandez

Jenkins & Thomson & Slade

?

Croft + McCalman + JMH + Roberts
=
Thomson/Collins + Parrise + Slade + Hook

Thought my offer wouldn't of been good enough, just wanted to start building up as I now have Warburton and Slade.

Try and make a fair offer involving...
Ayerza
Afoa
Lawes
Croft
Hougaard
Hernandez
Roberts
Ansbro
Heymans
Clerc
Aplon

Long list but worth a try as my side has improved quite a bit of late.

I want either Croft 4 Thomson or Hernandez 4 Slade in somewhere, but don't expect them both together as im generous and they are good players I won't let you lose both in a deal to me, one would be fair and fine.

Elsewhere is up to you, but yes might be key in everyone's deals to me but not looking to sell Parisse unless Read is involved and im not going to get anything from Pooly I doubt.

ENQUIRY

Ayerza & Croft & Clerc & Roberts
4
Jenkins & Thomson & Pietersen & Hook

Not too sure yet, about where it leaves me at centre but im quite keen on the proposal.

Ayerza + Croft + Clerc + Roberts + McCalman + £10m
=
Jenkins + Thomson + Pietersen + Hook + Parrisse

Rather keep Parisse mate, I like McCalman very highly rated but he has nothing on Parisse who along with Read is the best rated 8 in this game.

10 million won't get me a good enough buy in the foreigns.

Were getting two gains each if it's four players a side.

I know you have Woodcock, but Jenkins is class, Croft better than Thomson but saying that Thomson did well in Super 15, Hook better than Roberts while Clerc is better than Pietersen.

I would only sell Parisse for Heaslip because I like him, or Read.

JOC isn't for sale I'm afraid

You need to buy Heaslip or Read to get him off me.

Croft & Ayerza & Clerc & Roberts
4
Thomson & Jenkins & Pietersen & Hook

There is nothing wrong with that mate, get a gain at centre and prop and plus Thomson is a very good player everyone on here can tell you that.

But I said im only willing to sell Parisse for Heaslip or Read.

You won't get him off me mate so no point trying, you always want a bit too much but im not selling same as Aplon 4 O'Connor to Steven he wouldn't do that even if O'Connor wasn't for sale.

Im sticking with my above because it's good at the best you will get unless I break it up and go with.

Croft & Ayerza
4
Thomson & Jenkins

OR

Clerc & Roberts/Ayerza
4
Pietersen & Hook/Jenkins

With the aboves we gain once each and your choice to decide who you rate better.

Pietersen or Thomson in the main part of my bit.
