Little surprised with those comments tbh as both Mitchell and Flip are top draw and you seemed keen yesterday.

I'm sensing outside influence lol....if that's your opinion though fair enough.

A quick look at your props and Mitchell would be your second best TH and possibly next season your best depending on Hayman goes.

Your call though Chris

Haywood/Webber available

Joe Ward?

Could do Chuter and Ransom for Webber mate.

Both are available, I'm interested in Stevens, Attwoood, Ashton

None of them really take my fancy mate. Would do Claassens and Jackson for Ford and Wade.

I could be interested in Kankowski mate, but not going to pay the world for him.

Be more inclined to lose Mears or Bruno mate TBH.

Domingo, Davies, Attwood, Ashton.

Anything? Come on we can do it!!!

DO deals to go through for next season?

I'm not really looking to do much for now, just set up things for next season really

What for Launchbury?

Found the perfect job for you lol

Murray/Golding/Wilson could leave

End of season deals?

Hartley, Domingo, Lawes, Davies, Attwood, Craig, Ashton, Foden

You're so boring! lol

Attwood

for

Thion + Seymour.

At the end of the season.

What would you want/how much for Hooper?

Are all available...

What you looking for Harrison?

Waller nfs mate

King, Thomas, Robinson, S.Williams......

I currently have £5m, the £3m I owe you can now be paid.

The fact that he is my 3rd choice LH is not relevant mate, as he would be 1st or 2nd choice for you. Wouldn't let him go for someone who wouldn't be first or second choice for me in another position mate.

Certainly there are a few who would be better in the loose, but not sure there are many better scrummaging LH's left in the S15 who aren't already in this game.

No worries in any case, not desperate to sell him, he's pretty decent as starting loosehead during the international windows.

What for Mike Phillips?

Wherre are we with Attwood?? Looking towards the summer?

Too lose a front rower I'd need a quality one back. Stevens or Hayman would fit that bill.

Attwood + Stevens/Hayman

for

Mujati + ?

Who would you be after. Not willing to lose a starting player I don't think but could lose a useful one. Strokosch or Vernon perhaps.

Be interested in Attwood if available

Mentioned before attwood interests me also

Give me a list and I'll see if I can knock something up

I'd need a TH (3) coming back in something but possibly

Can't lose any of my English mate. Have gotten rid of quite a lot already. I thought you'd be fine for EQ to be honest. I'd happily have Hayman instead of Stevens though if that is any issue.

Would you be interested in Rory Clegg into the deal?

What for Matt Hopper mate?

PDJ + Kruger

Stevens + Attwood

?

Think that could be a good deal for us both. You get a primarily scrummaging TH who can cover LH and a top lineout operator to go with one of Davies/Lawes. Kruger and Bekker are probably the best two lineout ops in SA currently, not sure if you've seen the bulls but he's been excellent.

Deal

Anything doing for Hooper before you confirm Chris mate? Can do Lipman to give you an EQ 7

No worries

Not like he was going to swap Sexton for him or anything........

Thoughts ^^

Nahhh can't Mujati without Stevens or Hayman back. Can't lose depth in the front row.

Get back to me if you can think of someone to add with Mujati for Attwood and Stevens.

Your call mate.

Kruger on edge of Bok team for me. You'd probably get him for a few games I imagine if he gets called. Could go either way, if he does start his rating will rocket if he doesn't you'll have one of the best lineout locks available.

At least with PDJ you get a big scrummager.

HK Rob Webber (E) EPS
PR Matt Stevens (E)(1 or 3) EPS
LK Dave Attwood - (E) - ON LOAN TO SARRIES - EPS

All really interest me mate, let me know who you like of mine and lets get a deal done for them.

Could take Attwood off your hands

Attwood and Webber interest me

poux and mumm
for
stevens, attwood and geraghty?

I'd need Haywwod coming back to lose Morris mate, looks a prospect.

End of season is fine though if you want to confirm

He is a Saracens player as of the end of the season. Was part of the Tom Wood deal.

Attwood and Stevens

for

Mujati + Robinson?
