Would need to be someone massive if I was to lose Thompson mate.

AAC ?

Youngs has just signed a new deal...

name the players you like and I'll tell you.

hernandez and dupuy available.

as a start point.....

Dupuy + Kirchner
for
Claasens + AAC

Fair enough but Dupuy is so handy as he doesnt get called up for France so is always available and is a great goalkicker. so to lose him I would want a deal with AAC involved. Doesnt have to be kirchner involved, that can be changed or others added.

no interest in fitz or hipkiss either I'm afraid.

That's why I'm saying I will include elsewhere.

No interest in Kirchner, Marty, Bast, Maps ?

Dupuy would need Claasens + Ojo / Benjamin involved.

reasonable offer but doesnt massively benefit me.
tait covers a few positions so is a useful bench player.
so doesnt really give me a reason to lose dupuy for claasens.

he could well be my WC fullback then!

Would need to be part of a bigger deal mate

Sackey nfs as will be one of my WC wingers.

I agree Benjamin is a better prospect but still not worth losing Dupuy for.

Thing with Dupuy is that I can play Bowden or James at 10 (both who's kicking isnt perfect) and use Dupuy as the goalkicker.

He's ok but not a top class goalkicker.

Think we are mate, I know Dupuy isnt world class, he's just handy to have so not overly keen on letting him go.

Lipman will be playing during the world cup for me sorry mate so going no where. Care is crucial to my eq's and I'm a massive fan of bekker. Sharman can go but need eq back

And where would I play freuen then?
Lindsay for shaman?

Sorry mate hip kiss not as highly rated these days mate and earls gone well this year and is a great utility back for me

I'm interested in Robshaw, Ojo, Barritt and PDJ.

Didn't I say big gain

He probably would just about make the bench :L

No deal mate.

I thought you knew me better than that mate! If anything I'm losing out in that deal.

Fair enough about Ojo he is very good, I think Cato will do well at Saints he will see more of the ball there. Lindsay is good but I really like Thompson and it would take a lot to get him off me, more than just a prospect of a hooker.

Don't think I am mate. He is has a solid all round game which is something a lot of hookers don't have. Really helps out my scrum as well he's one of the best scrummaging hookers about.

Was looking for more for Botha. 10+ million

Would have dealt but driver has upped it to 15

And who can you not include in such a deal? except for English! JOC who else?

Not neccesarily I was just naming a player that I know is nfs and hoped you'd add to it

Sorry mate big Kayser fan hoping ASM will get the best out of him


Smit and Hore are available

I was thinking you should list a load of players and I will see what I like

Kruger maybe catches my eye

I was hoping to partner them two together during WC

Will leave it then

After a prop mainly with my foreign so unlikely

Not really interested in those two mate.

Elstadt is going to be top drawer mate, serious prospect.

Pretorius is having a great season, but he is about 28/29 I think and has never really shown this form before. Could be a bolter, but you never know with PDivvy. FDP will go, and probably Ricky Januarie as he is a PDivvy favourite, so it's one from Pienaar, Hougaard and Pretorious, and the other two have more international experience and can play more than 1 position.

Hore for 8m + Ojo?

should boost up his rating a bit!

wondering whether my deal with pete last night was good for me or not.

Botha is better than Schofield but not sure how people rate Naqalevuki...thought he looked decent for Exeter last season. Obviously not as good as Mapusua but his rating will drop by moving to Japan.

I really liked Schofield at Sale but think his rating dropped a bit going to Toulon as people didnt see him play as much and he doesnt start that much. Think Botha offers more around the park as well.
Mapusua is one of my favourite players and was hard decision but seeing a few people say they will drop their ratings for players in Japan seemed sensible to let him go now.

Rush nfs, vital during WC for me.

After some second thought i'll deal on that

stankovich and benjamin?

Tincu and Benjamin?

Easter + Molenaar?

Just an enq.

Tincu + Benjamin + Robshaw + Classens
for
Fritz + Amesbury + Joubert + Young

Enq.

I'd need another improvement (and EQ), hence why I included Robshaw/Joubert.

I wasn't convinced on my original offer mate, so can't see us doing a deal. Fritz + Joubert + Young are all sort after

What for Lindsay and Benjamin mate?

Sorry mate was only looking at them for back ups not going to let Care go for them hes a key player for me

Sharman and ? for the two of them?

HK Tom Lindsay (England)
LK Ed Slater (England)
FL Ben Skirving (England)
CE Dan Hipkiss (England)
WG Miles Benjamin (England)

Interest me...
