Released from Squad-

12. Seilala Mapusua
13. Regan King
14. JP Pieterson
15. Rob Kearney

Like for like in the pack, and a better looking back line?

A hooker but none of yours.

Could I loan Jenkins or Van Niekerk?

4 weeks for 5 million?

Any chance of something for Parrisse? You can afford a drop down at 8 with those beastly flankers and get improvements elsewhere.

I don't want to break the bank, but

Easter/Palu/Waldrom + Pape + £10m (heal Kaino) + Habana
4
Parisse + Heymans

JP and Habana partnership, top quality replacement for injured chisholm and cash to heal kaino

enq, let me know, will affect my other deals, cheers

hape wasn't in the deal mate, it was PAPE! Thinking would replace chisholm

you also need to specify palu easter waldrom

cheers

So this

Easter + Pape + Hape + Habana
4
Parisse + Heymans?

Confirm if im right, cheers

ok, i will do it now, cheers

McCaw & Ansbro
4
Warburton & Roberts & 29 million

?

Just testing.

Williams + Hape/Maps + Ayerza
=
Davies + Marty + Jenkins

Poor offer, your using centres again aswell

Only centre swap I would do is.

Roberts 4 Mapasua.

His only injured for 1 week.

The team who have byes could

Davies nobody.

Poitrenaud would need Hernandez, and a gain to you.

But Poitrenaud can go for Aplon but I would want a gain in my direction then, like I said before not a big fan of Aplon.

Hello fluxy interested in

Sheridan
Jenkins
Afoa
Easter
V.Niekerk
Hougaard
Hernandez
Mapasua
Habana
Evans
Aplon

Any of them involved in something would be good, them only mind don't give me players which are not listed.

Thanks

Oh, so now you want habana and easter!



Absolute joker

McAlister + Russouw
=
Williams + Turner

enq.

McAlister > Hape mate, the one weakness in your side.

Also Pape is mine for one more week I think.

Would have to be Hore/Pietersen/Turner

smit + horwill + earls + mortlock
for
hore + pape + pietersen + hape

happy to deal on that but shall we say it's their last games for respective teams this match?

I've doen mine so will make the changes now!

You already sold Pape to Bathite bud.....need to come up with something for Horwill now.

Ah ok I gets you now!!

Horwill + Kaino + Hernandez

for

Kellock + Haskell + Carter

What for McCaw Flux?

I'll leave it mucka, cheers

I'm a massive JMH fan but he's hardly touched a ball in 3 years and suffers with rating because of it, couldn't take him on mate sorry.

No thanks, mccaw the only gain in a 5way deal and schalk isn't a weakness

Jenkins injured as is steen, so about equal, prob a small gain for me. Williams way behind those two for me.

Even if I'm wrong about both, back row isn't an area I want to improve now I have parisse

Not really dude, main aim is a winger.

Kaino
Burgess
JMH @ 15

Those are the only lot I would consider I reckon

Who are your main targets in my squad?

I will do that deal

Not sure I can see much at the moment mate.

if your still about buddy, any chance of the predictions? cheers

Burgess + Sharpe + Vito + ?
=
Genia + Thorn + Wood + ?

I prefer Thorn to Sharpe, but I do like your engine room it's what I've been after for a while. Not bothered about improving on Wood, and Genia is miles ahead of Burgess at the moment.

Perhaps:

Thorn + Russouw + Mortlock + Aplon
=
F Steyn + Sharpe + Horwill + McAlister

enq.

I don't know your opinion on McAlister.. I take it not a good one?! Was thinking McAlister at 12 and move Mapusua to 13. I'm shocked that Mortlock is in this league to be honest.

Poor offers.

Interested in.

Sheridan
Horwill
Sharpe
Easter
Mapasua
Cueto

Not interested in downgrading Yach, or getting Smit either, sorry

Afoa + Vito/JVN + McCaw + Cueto
=
Johnstone + Smith + Dus + Ranger
-----------------------------------------------

Not seeing much gain in that one apart from McCaw mate. Although I do love McCaw I would only look to give one gain on Dusatoir to get him.

Prefer both mine mate.

McCaw + Vito + Cueto
=
Dus + Smith + Ranger
--------------------------------------

"Although I do love McCaw I would only look to give one gain on Dusatoir to get him."

Is that trimmed enough? Well no, not really. I wouldn't lose Smith for Vito in exchange for McCaw/Dus. Dus isn't too far from McCaw whilst Smith is streets ahead of Vito.

I could do something along the lines of:

Dus + Ranger

McCaw + Cueto

Enq

I'll leave it mate, the gaps between players arn't level imo

Castro would need Horwill, Sharpe/M Steyn mate.

Maps + Easter + Cueto + Barcella
=
Marty + McCalman + Clerc + Ayerza

It has to be Maps 4 Roberts I have said that so many times.

You haven't done too bad with transfers team has changed.

Like I said Marty isn't going anywhere, would do Mapasua or Mortlock 4 Roberts + other things.

Mortlock & Sheridan & Evans
4
Roberts & Ayerza

?

M Steyn + Mortlock/Maps + Earls + Cueto
=
Slade + Marty + Poit + Clerc

Lose out too much

M Steyn + Mortlock/Maps + Cueto
=
Slade + Marty + Clerc

Don't really know why your still bothered with Marty I don't want Mortlock, Mapasua, Ansbro, Evans or King instead of him.

Castro + Russouw + Flood + Genia
=
Afoa + Sharpe + Steyn + Burgess

-----

Looking to hold onto Genia mate. Would possibly do:

Castro + Russouw
=
Sharpe + Afoa

Would need Horwill, Sharpe or McCaw in there.

McCaw + Burgess
=
Brussouw + Genia?

Castro + Russouw + Flood + Genia + Brussouw
=
Afoa + Sharpe + Steyn + Burgess + McCaw

Tempted. Can you include Horwill at all - I can get someone from foreigns or include £22 mil?

I wouldn't want to lose the French midfield mate!

Castro + Russouw + Flood + Genia + Brussouw + F Steyn
=
Afoa + Sharpe + Steyn + Burgess + McCaw + Horwill

I could prob deal on.
