Hipkiss for barnes?

I think we're going to struggle mate, you're asking me to throw in top quality young English talent who will be available during the World Cup, for Burger, who is a very good player but will miss the first two months playing for Namibia, and is no better than the players I already have.

Final offer for you and then I am going to leave it.

Drew Mitchell

for

Ollie Smith, Mike Brown and Josh Matavesi.

Fearns, Wilson and Freshwater

for

Bonnaire, Strokosch, Macleod and Hynes


You've enquired about Dowson but he isn't for sale at any price

I left an enquiry on the last page

D'Arcy + £5m for Barnes

Lol...no probs mate. Wouldn't go any higher, too much of a gamble.

For barnes how about szarswezki and hazell?

What does it take for barnes. I can do a few squad players who are English for your depth or a single international player. Propose a reasonable deal and I will consider it

Diggin + Hamilton for barnes

Hipkiss + Slater?

He's not 6th choice lol. Couldn't do Barritt, Barnes is too much of a risk.

Could maybe do Barritt if you gave me a top class English in return?

Barritt + Tincu/Kruger/DOC

Barnes + Tommo/Skiv/TJ/Fearns

or if you includes Burgess I'd deal without English and I'd add a scrummie

Barnes for Saull

Woods/Skirving?

Woods gives you a natural 7, fetcher type.

No thanks mate, no probs

Barnes for saull ?

Benjamin poossibly....

Saull and diggin for Barnes

I wouldn't lol

What do you think to my offer?

I will leave it then. I will try and better anyone's offers but think you are looking for too much for a risky player

Bid stands with Benjamin, can't add Libdsay too mate

Could do straight swap for Roberts if something added

Too much mate

Straight swap Roberts for barnes deal?

No worries. Let me have the chance to beat any offers if you decide to deal elsewhere

Could maybe loan Lindsay for WC if Hore doesn't get picked buy that's best I could do

I would lend you Joe Gray also

What you doing mate....you happy?

It is a big risk mate.....

If I take my dealing hat off and give you some friendly advice, I'd say keep him. He's a world class player and suits your midfield. He may just miss the world cup and be sorted but I'd prob take that risk

I'll leave Barnes mate

I have Dave Wallace availible if your looking for a 7

Don't want to lose an EQ centre sorry

Well mate would you do Alex Tait and Julien Salvi for Rory Clegg? Gives you that fullback your looking for and an out and out 7

any thought on the above mate?

fair enough mate sory thought you were in for tait recently

Tait and what for Clegg mate?
Any of these interest you mate? Looking to clear some out so happy to do 2 for 1s 3 for 1s 3 for 2s etc

HK:Peter Dixon
LK:Jim Hamilton
LK:Stuart Hooper
LK/6/8:Daniel Browne
6/7/8: Ben Pieneer
CT/WG/FB: Matt Cornwall

Paice isnt for sale mate sorry

Would rate Catt higher then Clegg at the moment will get more gametime next year so hard pushed to lose him. Even harder pushed to lose 2 eq in a deal mate. Would want a decent squad option to do so mate not someone who will be 4th/5th choice FH

Dont know if you will do this but would maybe do a deal for Sykes with the two in mate? And then maybe throw in a replacement lock one of Hamilton or Hooper. You wont get a deal where you get 3 EQ for 1 foreign else where

I don't think so mate, wouldn't do Barritt alone.

Not for that kind of deal mate. I'd do Lindsay and a tweak but not losing Barritt for him

Wouldn't go ceazy but could add a squad player or slight gain?

Wouldn't be huge though lol...who do you like? Bearing in mnd English need English and not losing best players

Arry did you mean Roberts for barnes with you loaning Joe Grau for wc??

Gray English and key bench for me next year so no permo.

Sorry Arry, not including any of those

Not for season. I will start or bench him a lot as English and very good.

Barnes is a serious risk so think my offer is generous. Roberts great player and versatile and also gives you a big ball carrier and offers you options.

I could loan you Jamie george when Gray comes back to me. He is my usual bench hooker and english

Fearns and Faainga

for

Bonnaire + 5 mil?

Lindsay + Hipkiss

Tommo + May

I forgot you've started rating on future performances lol....no probs, can't do lindsay as he'll be Emporer of the world in the few years
