Any chance of Savea and Launchbury on loan for a bit?

and Christian Wade???

Cool, want to set an end date to the loan?

We still ok for Savea on loan mate? I'll stick it on confirms if we are?

Who you got available then

I didn't think he was in the AB's RC squad but have just checked and it appears that he is. In that case thanks but I won't take him, as it's the RC period I am looking for cover for. Any chance of taking Wade on loan for the first 6 rounds of the AP?

Not really interested in either.

Thomas + Wade (Season long loans) 4 Mosses

I'll pass for now thanks mate, I hadn't realised that he was in the AB's squad to be honest.

Not really sure about Wray.

Wade + Haywood on loan for the season 4 Mosses

Do players out on loan count in squad size?

Any chance of taking Wray on loan?

Can't see what we should do then

No probs, I'll be targetting your lineout (or lack of it) anyway lol

Takes a little longer to learn calls than a few weeks fella, especially with Hartleys darts

The following players have picked up injuries, they will be available to play again on the week stated.

Sona Taumalolo - AP R5
Bradley Davies - AP R6
Wesley Fofana - HC R1

any chance of loaning webber?

matu'u would be great mate, just until Lindsays back for me.

Just checking that for our game next week, Jamie Elliott isn't allowed to play

Cheers mate, much appreciated

Any of your real quality EQ players available (not talking about prospects unless they are kinda proven e.g Launchbury, Wade, Daly)

Webber + Cips interest me to a certain extent

Anyone available for a deal?

Cheers mate

Hello mate. Yes i have not had the opportunity to play daly. good player but his defence is murder and i had an inexperienced backline as it was.

thanks for the loan anyway

Any chance of me loaning Callum Clark?

Who you offering?

Wouldn't play Clark at lock myself tbh , he's a 6 or a 8.

Could I loan daley?

See Albacete is out of the Autumn internationals , big boost to you.

Blokes a damm good player , on the decline a bit but still a good player.

Is Daly ok to start his loan this week fella , need some game time for me prior to the AP games.

What for Beck?

What for Beck?

What are you looking for Davies Chris?

JDV....

How about;

M Botha + ? + Brown
=
Davies + B Vunipola + Foden

Beck and Davies interest me

I'd be interested in Davies.

So he's not available??

Money doesn't mean much in this game anymore IMO and I'd rather have the best player in the world in his position than 2 decent international players

any of Ashton, Savea, Halfpenny, Foden or Wade available?

I'd be interested in Ashton

Can't see that happening, no probs

Not a problem mate. No need for Grant

Got some good loose head options there Chris, all in good form too.

Anything for JdV and Sam Cane mate?

I'd maybe look for a lineout specialist mate in the row. Not sure who to suggest though.

Mike McCarthy a decent lock for Ireland. Would mean you don't struggle if you don't play Julien Bonnaire

I have 3 Int line out leaders, 1 can go if you're interested

POC, Parling & Kruger all possibly available. Don't really need a lock back.

Domingo, Savea, Ashton, Fofana, Cane etc.

Your pretty solid on wing, could base something around Ashton/Parling to get the England engine room

Who for JdV then mate?

Who of similar standard do you have available, ie full starting Int for top nation.

Who for JdV then mate?
