Is close isnt it

Haha....we've done ok over the years but you're pretty bang on.

I like....

Cole, Horwill, Louw, 36, Youngs, Monye, SOB

Lesser.....

Steph du & Jordaan

HI Thanks for the offer. Du toit interests me but EFS does not as i will play Matt Scott at 12. Laulau would not play for me apart from RC

Any chance of a deal involving Jordaan

I'd be interested in Du Toit & Jordaan mate

What for laulau do you fancy loaning him to me with me loaning you someone back ?

Fasivalu ?? Who are you after ?

Julien Pierre ?? Let me know who you are after

Any news on my loan offer. LEt me know

In what way? if you loan one and get one loaned back your squad stays the same size

No worries

Would you do Hines for Borthwick?

Not really sure tbh mate, anyone you got in mind?

What would you offer for Downey?

Possibly a winger, any chance of Monye?

What about Downey for Hines?

That's not really a deal that benefits me mate. EFS's rating will sink like a stone with him off to Japan and I lose an EQ player as well. Can't do it.

These are the players that I am looking to sell mate

Kayser
Schofield
Welch
Lawson
Charlie Davies
James
Humphreys
Downey
Trimble
Fitzgerald
Matt Smith

Let me know if any interest you and we can work on add ons from there.

Not a fan of Poitrenaud mate, he can be flaky and gets hammered on here in the winter. Of your back three players I'd only be looking at Beale, Ranger or Nacewa really, and I know this isn't a Beale type deal, so would have to be one fo the other two for Fitz.

Don't really fancy that mate, not sure about either of them, just got rid of EFS

Not really sure who we can do. Don't think anything but straight swap works

Are you still after Downey? If you are I am looking for a lineout lock, ball carrying back row or pacy winger.

I don't see much there that makes me particularly stronger mate,and not really looking for a multi player deal, more a one on one swap for a different position.

These are the players that I am interested in mate...

Hines
Du Toit
Joubert
Nacewa
Jordaan
Shipperley

If you want Downey and don't see a swap for him with any of the players that I want, I would also sell him for cash.

What for Maka Luke?

See Dimitri Yachvilli is out for 3 months at the least , suffered a slipped disc in his back.

http://www.espnscrum.com/france-top-14-2012-13/rugby/story/168775.html

Like?

If you throw in £6m its a deal (y)

Well I don't see much wrong with Mermoz 4 Miller and see Waldouck as a gain over Laulau since he is English and joining a new club

But whereas Miller + Waldouck there isn't a huge gap between I'd argue that Mermoz is still a top class international player whereas Laulala isnt

Downey for Bruno???

Downey and Kayser

for

Bruno and Tonga'uiha

???

Laulala + Miller + £5m 4 Mermoz + Waldouck

Aplon is capped so would cost a fair bit more in foreigns, and the window closes on Friday, so I guess it would depend a bit if you reckon you can get enough cash together for him by Friday.

Which one of my wingers do you have your eye on anyway?

Thought you would enjoy this

The following players have picked up injuries, they will be available to play again on the week stated.

Sebastien Bruno - AP R5
Thomas Waldrom - AP R6
Maxime Mermoz - HC R1

Hello mate,

I could do you Tolofua on loan until after AP R6. Any chance of Joubert and Hines on loan for the same period?

So Wagga for Tolofua on loan until after AP R6 then?

Stick it on confirms if it's a deal mate.

Anything for Youngs?

Sgt_Pooly wrote:Anything for Youngs?

Woah , De Ja Vue.

Can't see anything unless you offer something silly.

Really don't want to lose him.

What for Hines on a permanent mate? (I can't do Tolofua as it would leave me very light on cover at hooker.)

I shall do the same for Hines mate. Cheers for the loan, really helped me out having him in there I think.

Don't think a North deal is likely. Would need Beale and a gain

Medard could potentially leave. Interest in Shipperly, Ranger, Clerc, Nacewa, Monye and Jordaan

N F S thanks. Gear and Alberts key for me

If I lost him I'd need a top 4 in return somewhere

Hines is quality but I have enough oldies in the engine room lol

Past Pape I'd be looking at Horwill tbh fella

I wouldn't look to include anyone really mate, quite happy with Maestri.

Pape is 32 and Horwill always injured so think it evens up with Maestri 24 and nailed on with France & Tolouse.

Out of interest what would you be looking at:

Maestri + ?

Horwill + ?

Give me a list

What for Youngs?
