Thank goodness for that, lets just do this then, you just proposed it.

Easter & Gear
4
Parisse & Guildford

Crack on and confirm, so i can get back to work, otherwise i will be in the office until 6 and I need to be at the rec for 5, got VIP tickets to the 7s tonight! Free bar!

I'll deal on what you said, so I can come back for some other another day

Parisse & Chisholm & Hore & Maps
4
McCalman & Whitelock & TPN & Marty

Ok, but if it gets the deal done, i'll chuck in habana4tuilagi.

your not a fan of starting him, so you can then have habana as an incredible back up or use a bait for another transfer in future, without damaging starting lineup. plenty of teams that would cry out for a winger of habana's class, he was starting for stade last week and saints before that!

So after all that, i come back to see you dealt elsewhere anyways? Been trying for nearly 2 weeks constantly now to get Parisse

Im going to invoice you for my time!

Well its your decision mate, just given Fluxy best back row in the league by miles though! Scary good.

I obviously disagree with you, but i base my opinions on ratings, not personal preference.

McCalman a talent, but what 10 oz caps and not first choice
Easter consistently quality, well above mccalman in rankings, one of first names on teamsheet
Whitelock quality, would only have him or Botha/Matfield/Sharpe ahead of my locks.
TPN for Hore one back up hooker for another. Has he been that good in s15? thought flynn fourie moore mealamu faingaa all looked better personally

Yeah, no chance of Gear now mate, only wanted Parrisse, you knew that all along, sorry dude

re read, my post, it sounds like sour grapes, its not meant to be, just giving my opinion.

maybe your team is better off for it, but one things for sure, biarritz look top drawer again!

Ledesma
Skivington
Kruger
Lydiate
Cusiter
Paterson
Could be avilable. Want whitelock back

Anything involving davies

So davies + 1 of them 4 whitelock + ?????

Don't gain anywhere in either of them deals. You can't improve my starting line up except for Whitelock so only one that can leave from my lineup is davies

1/2 penny is better mate. Guilford is hardly brilliant and although I'm a fan of clerc I rate 1/2p as slightly better.

Yer and to get roberts - a player overrated because of one lions tour - I lose one of the top 3 inside centres in planet rugby. The fact is atm despite him not playing the inside centre position Is weak atm. Jauzion has fell out with everyone so hardlyplaying, nonu off the boil, sbw only works in a good team. You have to rate barnes because he has missed what 2 weeks worth of rugby jauzion has missed much more because of falling out with bosses. Barcella + domingo are still rated.

No need for cash

Beast + Ranger + Donnelly

Ayeza + Guildford + Whitelock

Enq

Clerc can't even start for past Cau Cau these days so no thanks. I'm not willing to budge on original offer so I'll leave it

Mermoz 4 Roberts
Castro 4 Tialata
Brussow 4 Warburton
Dagg/Steyn 4 Poitrenaud

-----

Sorry mate, the one gain for me went when you sold Parisse. Could maybe do:

Whitelock + Poitrenaud + Guildford
=
Russouw + Steyn + Roko

enq.

I prefer Ranger

Russouw for Whitelock, Whitelock better but Russouw is an outstanding player and has bossed some of the best around when playing for the Bulls, keeping Bakkies out of a shirt.

Sound familiar?

Do you know where I'm coming from though? Why would anyone do a deal that wouldn't, in some way, benefit them.

The only player in your squad that would improve my squad is Whitelock, so he would have to involved. That's it.

Is that possible? If not, no worries.

Wasting your time making offers for players with Stars next to their name. They won't be going anywhere unless the offer is stupid

Alright mate.

Don't forget to get your tactics in on the Furious League

It's not as simple as that. You're being unrealistic - asking for players that are better than yours with no incentive for the other manager.

The key is to improve slowly over time, getting better players in but losing out elsewhere (eg improving 2 and losing 1). That's what Bathite, Inthefastlane etc have done with poor squads.

Stop buying Poopie players in foreigns, that might help.

Mermoz & Rossouw & F Steyn + Allen
4
Roberts & Whitelock & Poitrenaud + Davies

enq.

OK, I could do:

Mermoz & Rossouw & F Steyn + Roko + Wood
4
Roberts & Whitelock & Poitrenaud + Brown + Guildford

Not happy about losing Mermoz but I am very keen on Whitelock

Mermoz & Rossouw & F Steyn + Roko + Wood
4
Roberts & Whitelock & Poitrenaud + Brown + Guildford

I'm not adding anymore, I don't feel like I should have to. You always want more. Leave Steyn for Poit out if you want.

Wood is much better than Brown! Wood was one of the players of the AP and Brown couldn't even get into the Sarries team! Mate I'm not adding anymore. Either you want to do a deal or not, it's so frustrating.

Negeotiating with you is so painful. You constantly want more gains, and more gains.

I won't budge from my offer, with or without steyn/poit. You dedide.

No thanks

Close but not enough to lose barnes.

Sheridan + King
=
Ayerza + Marty

Enq

I would do that deal without the Steyn/Slade part

Mapusua + Sheridan + Aplon
=
Marty + Ayerza + Poit

Enq

No thanks, not touching roberts with a barge pole

Don't want kelleher tbh mate. It only improves my back up. Would like to improve one centre so Roberts/Marty would be fair for Maps. You wouldn't lose out on either.

Don't want clerc, got nz back three so only Guildford. Nallet better then whitelock as well

No.

Russouw + F Steyn/McAlsiter
=
Whitelock + £8 mil

You can't get Mermoz or Castro - I don't want Roberts or Tialata so it's not gonna heppen. I can add McAlister for Donald or Sivi for Guildford or Bonnaire/Wood for Brown. That gets to the 2 gains, 1 loss I was talking about.

Let me know.

No gain for me at all, not interested in any if those players

If I say no I mean no

Your last offer on my page; swap Heymans/Guildford for Ansbro-Evans-King/Marty and I'll deal mate.

You have got three gains in your direction mate. I don't rate Guilford, and not over Heymans.

Did you watch Australia - Tonga. That's why I never rated Davies

Because he's not international quality..that is why...

I was making the point you asked why I don't rate him.

Im talking about a while ago

What for Whitelock/Marty/Roberts/Poit mate?

Maybe not;

Jenkins+ Mapusua + Heyman
=
Ayerza + Marty + Poit

Enq

I would be willing to do a Mermoz/Roberts type deal. Mermoz is injured but you can heal him to play with Marty.

Alright mate, we just want to know if you are part of the league. I see you have been posting on other pages but not ours. We want to know where we stand with you.

I don't like to force but can you tell us by today 3pm if you are part of the league or we will assume you have left.

We are watching where eyes possibly can't go. THE WATCHERS.

Many thanks Viva

leicester city are s h i t e

Im almost certainly going to regret this, but im bored and need something to do.

Any chance of a deal for Guildford that includes Maitland or Habana or Smith?

Only see it as a small gain (Habana much superior, but I want NZ back three) so not willing to do anything stupid, although thats what you will ask for. Could also do 2 4 1, as its late in the season.

Don't forget to check your latest injuries, Warburton and Roberts I think off top of my head. Got Todd Hape Barritt in those areas

Ok no worries, guildford my ONLY target

I'd consider this

Lydiate + Davies 4 Whitelock + ???????
