Any of them 3 in a deal?

Struggling to see anything mate as I would need the deal to be weighted in my favour to lose young English talent and I can't see you wanting to offload anyone established for any of them.

No mate, still want him.

Jennings + ??? for Flip?

As Davies would strengthen your team to pretty much unbeatable level I would need two top players coming back my way. Would only let him join the top team if it really improved my squad!

to be honest would only do a straight swap of Brussow for him

nick evans?

Yeah sure mate, usual restrictions apply.

English needs english. Sharples and May defo not available. Wood is in unbelievable form and starts so would need likewise.

Pooly i have Bakkies, Gray, Robson, Palmer and Ali Williams so would not say i was light at second row.

I like schofield but he is on his way down whilst Gray is on his way up. Also Gray will start for me quite a bit as it will allow me to play more foreign backs

York and Grey for Lakafia

I'll think about it mate.

36 and JD for Mermoz and ???

Zero interest in Slater mate. Doesn't sound like we'll come to a deal, I'll leave it.

Just get the feeling we're poles apart in what we're looking for so is pointless dragging it out.

only thing I can see is 36 and JD for Mermoz and Benjamin but am guessing you'd probably not go for it.

I'll leave it mate.

Have you seen Jared Payne snapped his achilles tonight, out for the season.

He's tweeted that the achilles is completed snapped in two and he's looking at 12-18 months out. Looked really inoccuous when he did it as well. Went into contact and didn't get up and the physio was calling for a replacement within seconds of getting to him.

Pooly have you got any videos of Payne, Smith and Maitland and your scrum half? I dont watch much southern hem stuff, so can't really base much opinion on those players.

Close with you and Pete this week, you need some of your pack to pick up some form - as seems like a lot of your players will be staying for the semis at least!

I'm trying to watch more southern hem rugby, but I never find myself getting into the games, so struggle a lot to watch a full 80mins, even if I'm watching it I will be working so don't really pay attention to the game.

Did I read somewhere that Payne is out for a year or something? Is he the one who has joined Ulster?

depends on what you'd want for him, as am really only after someone who would play when Hartley was away with England and would be on bench behind Webber.

Not looking for anyone special.

Sold Sheridan to Exeter mate. Isn't Tincu about 33/4?

Not for sale he's EQ and a big scrummager and suits my game plan to a tee

Cheers for schofield loan. Tidy player

Well stocked in engine room
So he can go back to you. Was brussow injury serious ??

NFS really mate.

Interested in any of these? Saw your list of players who are available - this is mine.

PR Bob Baker (1 or 3)
FL Sione Kalamafoni (Tonga)
FL Liam Messam (NZ)
FL Alexander Lapandy (France)
FL/N8 Luke Watson (South Africa)
N8 Ryan Kankowski (South Africa)
SH Stuart Commins (SA/E)
FH Lionel Beauxis (French)
CE/FB Shane Geraghty (E)
CE Willie Mason (Australia)
CE Luke Eves (E)
CE Casey Laulala (NZ)
WG Julian Savea (NZ)
WG/FB Rory Lamont (Scotland)
FB Myles Dorrian (Australia)

I'm only looking for a 3rd choice hook mate, so wouldnt lose Messam in that deal as Messam is always in my matchday 23 and could well be an All Black for the next 10 years whilst Tincu is quite old and I doubt rated as highly.

Saull
Not for sale. Hoping he really kicks on. Did
Not know
You were
A
Fan

What for Alex Gray mate?

I see Mullan as a reasonable way ahead of Gray at the moment so would have to be as part of a bigger deal. Likewise Trinder I see as a small way ahead, so again would need to be part of a bigger deal but not as big as for Mullan.

Not ruling either of those players out.

Am going offline shortly, so will have a think and if anything comes into my head I'll let you know when I'm next on mate.

What for Payne?

I'v got a enough props mate , but looking a bit bare in the centers.

I'v just googled Jared Payne and seen he is out for the year so i'm suddenly not as interested in him as i was 10 minutes ago lol

Mate, give me list of players other than Mullan and Trinder that you are interested in and we'll see if we can thrash out a bigger deal.

Not keen on Forsyth, and am more likely to play Trinder (possibly outside of Nonu) than Gray at present so going to say no to that one at the moment mate.

Mullan + ???

for Brussow

Struggling to see a deal that looks about even to be honest. BDP, Wood and Nonu definitely NFS, would consider the others if the deal was right, but struggling to see anything.

Alex Grey + ???

for

Lakafia

Grey + Kruger for him?

On confirms buddy

Sorry mate but it was a bit of a knee jerk offer on my part and Lakafia must be rated with the amount of interest in it.

Lock Center and full back

Lakifia + Jennings

For

Grey and Brussouw

I'm interested in Brussow mate

Alex Crockett - returns week 11
Colin Slade - returns week 12
Ben Alexander - returns week 13
Dan Hipkiss - returns week 14
Andrew Hore - returns week 15
Miles Benjiman - returns week 16


Wierdly who is your first choice 10 now?

£18 for a John Smiths stand ticket mate for Gloucester game

£25 in the east stand which is where the players tunnel is so i imagine theres a bar lol

Sweet!

I'll book them next week! unless you can get your hands on them prior?

sorry mate, but I'm not going to sell any of those at all - I would probably have sold Stevens if I didnt get rid of Wilson and Sheridan, but want to keep hold of the best English as its important part of my tactics to try and get all the ebst English!
