I'm just trying to ensure I have depth mate. If I lose Schofield I need a replacement second row coming my way and a centre, both of which are available during the WC period.

by 'Arry Fri Jul 01, 2011 8:30 am

I just feel that it would ruin the depth I have built up mate, so I'll leave it. What for Claassens on his own?

by 'Arry Fri Jul 01, 2011 11:35 am

I'm interested in Claassens but not Woods anymore. Also what for Lindsay?

by dammit_chris Fri Jul 01, 2011 11:40 am

Would probably do Lualala and Watson for Classens, Hipkiss and Grey? Know that you said you wouldnt mind having Watson a while back.

by 'Arry Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:01 pm

Bruce Reihana

by dammit_chris Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:37 pm

for me its a short term gain that i'd be getting as its obvious lualala is rated highly by a lot of people (had 5 people try and deal) - and in all likelihood I am going to lose Phillips for 3 weeks as Wales arent getting out of their group. So if I were you I'd keep your bid for Payne, as I am getting more and more like a woman in terms of being unable to decide on things!

by dammit_chris Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:57 pm

Lol - don't worry I wont, he fits perfectly into my tactics though, in that I go for two big centres, a creative 10 and a back three that looks to score tries. He does what I need from him, a lot of people seem to think he's good too.

Do need a no9 though!

by Steven_Sharks Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:37 am

Ideally a 12 but Lowe can play either so could be a 13.

by Steven_Sharks Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:45 am

Not looking for a permanent deal mate

by Steven_Sharks Sun Jul 03, 2011 10:20 am

Can't really let Thion go. Can't weaken my world cup front 5.

I will think about who I could let go.

by 'Arry Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:38 am

Hmm not sure mate. What for Lindsay and Claassens?

by 'Arry Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:43 am

Can't lose Thompson mate. What would you want for Claassens on his own?

by 'Arry Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:49 am

Tom Williams and Nick Macleod are both available...really clutching at straws here.

by 'Arry Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:02 am

Dean Schofield and Jim Hamilton are available if you're interested?

by 'Arry Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:16 am

I would say Schofield for Claassens but having looked at my locks if I lose Schofield I wont have that many second rowers available during the WC.

by 'Arry Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:21 am

Hmm I suppose, Schofield for Claassens then?

by Driver Sat Jul 09, 2011 6:20 am

I'd be interested in Dan Hipkiss

by Driver Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:25 am

Not looking for a permanent deal just world cup cover. I did loan you Holah Wink

lol

by 'Arry Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:41 am

Not really looking to let him go mate, but if the offer was right I'd let him go.

by dammit_chris Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:54 pm

Yeah I dont think I can get any players for a little while - trying to offload some at the moment! Would be good to avoid the gustapo...

by Driver Mon Jul 11, 2011 6:35 am

Could you do the match thred this week mate?

Interviews all day tomorrow , Boxing/Rugby on wednesday , coaching thursday and playing touch rugby on friday so i'm busy most of the week and struggling for time

by Driver Wed Jul 13, 2011 9:05 am

See Kruger is starting at the weekend for the bulls mate , hoping he impresses was great at saints. He's kid is meant to be something special aswell.

Francois Venter from the bench is a good player , thought he was the Saffas best player at the JRWC.

by Driver Thu Jul 14, 2011 5:21 am

Billy Twelvetrees to Falcons by the end of the month - Having medical next week my sources tell me Wink

by CJB Thu Jul 14, 2011 4:15 pm

Chuck in something small and I will deal....

by Driver Thu Jul 14, 2011 4:18 pm

Yeah mate , supposedly he's coming up north for the game time and to sort his attacking play out. Can see it being a loan type thing though he'll do two years up here and then go back to Leicester.

by Guest Thu Jul 14, 2011 4:49 pm

Roussoue and rock for vermaulen and Payne ??

by CJB Fri Jul 15, 2011 3:15 am

say
Ansboro 4 Hipkiss...

by dammit_chris Sat Jul 16, 2011 3:05 am

Erm, am short of wingers, so if you have any available for him? Or potential swap with Alex Grey?

by dammit_chris Sat Jul 16, 2011 3:47 am

could do luke eves?

by Steven_Sharks Sat Jul 16, 2011 4:02 am

nfs I'm afraid

by dammit_chris Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:43 am

wouldnt include Wilson in that deal at all mate - think I need to hang onto him as just seen Taulafo is def in the Samoan team, so I might need to keep hold of him.

am also enjoying seeing how many people slated Wilson and now want to sign him - think I've got 5 people bidding atm!

by 'Arry Sun Jul 17, 2011 2:44 am

Didn't know that mate, gives me good options for my front row come the WC then!

by dammit_chris Sun Jul 17, 2011 9:55 am

Not interested in losing Attwood mate - dont rate Schofield, he's 4-5th choice at Toulon and wouldnt say he's rated. I like Fitz but again dont think he's rated highly on here tbh.

by dammit_chris Sun Jul 17, 2011 10:33 am

sorry mate just dont rate Schofield at all.

by CJB Sun Jul 17, 2011 11:29 am

Wgigles >

by stnick88 Sun Jul 17, 2011 12:51 pm

what for boris and topsy?

by stnick88 Sun Jul 17, 2011 2:22 pm

sackey, naqalevuki, basson, maddock all available

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:12 am

Would you do Noon for Ojo mate?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:44 am

Was worth a try wasnt it! Whistle

by 'Arry Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:49 am

Really? I thought he was out for ages mate.

by Steven_Sharks Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:31 am

He has played there for Falcons so doesn't surprise me.

Read a Cockerill interview where he said he would be a tight head but he can play anywhere tbh.

Just needs to make sure his versatility doesn't turn him into a jack of all trades master of none sort of player.

by Steven_Sharks Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:55 am

I have only seen him at Hooker once tbf. That was when he came off the bench v Sale in the first game of the season lst year. he was practicing throwing in front of where I was sitting and he wasn't bad at all.

Couldnt ask for a better role model for an abrasive hooker than Cockerell

by Guest Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:26 am

That's good news for me. Barnes and de jongh or kahui is pretty tasty although an injury prone pairing

by dammit_chris Mon Jul 18, 2011 12:47 pm

what players have you got available mate? i dont really want to do a deal where i get a player who i lsoe during 6Nations - would prefer someone who is available all season. My squad has got too many players who disappear during Feb/March and Fitz would just add to that!

by dammit_chris Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:24 pm

Not considering letting Attwood go mate - would let Wilson and Watson go for him though? (Ojo). Barritts a good player, but I've got a stupid amount of centres at the moment!

by dammit_chris Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:47 pm

Wouldnt consider selling Stevens for Ojo - gives me a huge loss there. I've kept Stevens since he got hsi ban and he gets better and better for Sarries in every game.

Wilson is in my opinion equal to Ojo - he's a current Eng int where Ojo isnt - got quite a few other people looking to sign him and know i could get a better deal for him than that

by dammit_chris Mon Jul 18, 2011 2:56 pm

Dont get me wrong, I like Ojo - he's just not worth me losing some of the players that you mentioned there mate.

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:18 am

Bruno NFS mate. Still suprised Matt sold him to me....

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:37 am

Lol, he's only 36 Wink

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:40 am

Was hoping you wouldn't check....
