Adam Ashley-Cooper - Week 35 - Heineken Cup/Challenge Cup Semi Final
Heinrich Brussow - Week 36 - Aviva Premiership Round 22

But give it a year and he will be. Id rate him as one of the best locks around

PDJ, Franks, Brussow (Doesn't start), Robshaw, Read, Evans, Wilko, Mitchell, Maitland, AAC

Alexander + ?
for
Cencus + ?

Jennings + ???

for

Brussouw + ????

Not to worry.

He's looked good at 3. You're packing some serious options up front.
Nice deal you got for Mac as well. Sold him to you way too cheap.

Be interesting to see how he gets on. Fritz, Jauzion and mainly Poit to get past.

I think he'll play at 10 at first then settle at 12 with Yannick playing a little less

Alright mate, don't suppose you've got any tighthead props you could loan me?

Yeah I do, but apart from him I don't have any other tighthead props available during the WC.

Not really mate, just someone to cover the bench so people don't start using the fatigue card with Nieto.

You can have Oliver Tomaszczyk on loan mate or Juan Gomez for 7m on a perm

Gray is available but you seen what I paid for him and you know my rating if him. Need a mccaw or JOC kind of offer which I don't think you would do

I will take schofield until wc and can loan you a player Later in season? Joe gray is hard to price. Plays regularly and bags of talent. Don't think he will go as far as Jamie George though.

Can i recall Holah and keep hipkiss mate?

Yah or nah lol?

Schofield loan what you saying??

Could I take Gomez on loan mate? If you do it I will owe you one!

You are too good to me mate, cheers

How much for Alex Gray mate?

No mate, was thinking more a cash price or academy players swap. Wouldn't do a current starter for a player in your academy.

Swear about a year ago I sold you Vickerman, and didn't want to because I guessed him and Horwill would start at the WC.....

Slade available?

You realise he's older than Quade Cooper...

Does tasty mean you want all my best players for him...

I love that response fast lane

Does that mean you wanna sell me Priestland

What for Ojo?

like both of them, who would you want for either though?

Noon for Hipkiss? Bring the northern boy home?

Have to stick the odd cheeky bid in now and again
Wouldnt want to lose either of them mate. Both starters for me. Hipkiss wwould play back up

Would need Pretorious as a replacement and then an eq starting option else where mate

Robshaw interests me mate

You know my stance on Youngs, and I prefer Flood to Wilkinson.

Always worth a go

Sorry mate would have to be Robshaw

In all honesty, i'd be looking at Evans, and then one of Barcella/Conrad/Bowe.

Id probably do Thomson back mate.

Thats the problem with dealing EQ between us. We seem to have our starters in the same areas so say were Ojo for Care would be a decent offer im already well versed in the back 3 for EQ starters so it doesnt work for me. Would have to be Robshaw invoved in a deal to work for me really

It's what Youngs is worth mate.

Wasn't Richie involved with Pocock/Nonu/Barnes?
Not really the same sort of thing as you don't have a WC SH in return.

Youngs is EQ, so is more valuable than any foreign player.

Like I say, not really the same sort of deal as you don't have a WC SH in return.

I've maintained he's not for sale for about 15 months....

Diificult one. I'd have him top 5, so that would just about make him WC in my eyes.

His EQ raises that too. Similar if Chris was to sell Foden or Hartley, or me Cole or Youngs.
Young, top EQ means value rockets right up.

If Youngs is top 5 in the world what does that make Danny Care since hes been much better then Youngs this year?

Not Int class...

I like Care but Youngs has more about him, has that abilty to step up to world class where I don't think care ever will.

World class is an expression without definition.

Doubt you'd sell wilko in a one for one with a foreigner, you'd be left short of EQ.

Of course I wouldn't, but I'm not offering you a one for one. If I was to sell Wilko I wouldn't expect 2 foreign WC players in return lol

I'd expect a foreign FH and an English option elsewhere

Cheeky!

Hes been outperforming Youngs for club and country over the last season. Think Youngs has the potential to do more long term but potential is all well and good needs to be realised first...

Don't disagree about club form but Youngs has shown he can be a star even if he hasn't reached the peaks last season. Care is cracking little scrummie but he's never played to the levels Youngs has.

I know it's all relitive and I own neither but Youngs is a special talent. Care is a top SH but misses something to be right up there with the Genia/Parra's etc

You dont have a good enough Replacement, or good enough EQ.

Not sure about season sje, maybe last couple if months.

I think there is such a thing as world class form and a world class player.

Phillips was in world class form in 2009 but with two years of medicre performances since suggest this was just a purple patch in form rather than the norm for Phillips (yes I've finally accepted it)

Like I wouldn't say Haskell was a world class player but is capable of world class form.

If you have two such amazing SH's the stop chasing Youngs..

"Phillips was in world class form in 2009 but with two years of medicre performances since suggest this was just a purple patch in form rather than the norm for Phillips (yes I've finally accepted it)"

Lol......only becasue you've sold him!

Kinda agree with that Steve, I've never seen Haskell perform at that level tho.
