heaslip?

I'm interested in Heaslip mate.

Don't really want to let Bowden go mate. Is there anyone else you'd be interested in?

Would leave me too light on locks

Yes but I'd be weakening myself and would have to make changes to my targets.

You decide anything on Lowe Steve?

Miller + J.Burger + Hines
for
Lowe + Heaslip?

I do mate, but I don't have anyone in my squad that I would offer as a swap and I only have £2 million cash at the moment so think we might struggle for a deal right now. Might be different next wek after I get my cash injection.

That's a very reasonable price mate. Will revisit this once I have some cash.

Yeah mate will post when get ome from work

Quins v Chiefs for a friendly then. Let me know where you want the game played boys and I'll add it to the friendlies thread

I'v proposed the location if you want to think of any rules.

I'm going to be playing my probable 4Ns team if thats any help. Will probs be along the lines of

Sturgess
Elliot
Tui
Schofield
Hudson
Ruddock
Dowsen
Narraway

Williams
Jackson
Visser
Downey
Cave
Robinson
Smith/Bryne

You still interested in Barkley mate? Looking for 7m cash for him if you are need some more funds for foreigns

I'm back in for Heaslip.

Which players of mine are you interested in for him?

I could include Bowden if either Fainga'a or Lowe were included.

No chance of Lowe being involved?

Hmm I was trying to get a deal where I gain EQ without letting any go but fair enough.

I'll think on the deal, leaves me a little short on inside centres, but I will think on it mate.

I'll deal on

Heaslip + Lowe

Bowden + Stegmann

Down to you mate

I've decided Fainga'a isn't a good enough replacement for Bowden mate.

I'm pretty sure Bowden becomes EQ soon. I need to improve my EQ options and the deal I proposed benefits us both as I get my EQ and you get a quality inside centre which your team, in my opinion, needs.

Lakafia for Heaslip?

Bowden becomes EQ soon mate, and is an adequate replacement for Lowe in my eyes.

I'm only interested in doing the deal I've proposed so no worries mate.

Any chance of building a deal around it?

I'll find out from him, but I know he is going to be EQ soon I read it somewhere.

May pop back tomorrow to see if we can get a deal done.

Anymore thoughts on our deal mate?

Would leave me short on centres mate.

Really need Lowe involved some how.

No I have £28.5m mate, with £12m on that going on Zebo.

I really don't want to let Tamiau go, such an exciting prospect.

Tuohy + Bowden

for

Lowe + Heaslip?

If you need EQ back, I'd be willing to loan Tamiau to you for the season...

Any chance of including Gaskell instead of DOC?

Tuohy + Bowden + Tamiau

for

Gaskell + Heaslip + Lowe?

But you're getting EQ back in Tamiau and Bowden mate.

Not interested in Joe Ward.

Anything for Henry ?

Don't rate Contepomi mate, sorry.

What for heaslip ???

Would you do Deon Stegmann for Chris Henry?

Bakkies For heaslip ?

Good deal for both of us that Steve bakkies available all year and still the best 4 In the world

£12m for Effion.

Also what for George Lowe?

Anyone take your interest then?

Prefer Allen and plays both 12 and a decent 13...Lowe limits options...could be possible though

Kearney
Priestland
L.Dickson
Hooper
Denton
Sinckler (couldn't do just him)
Marler

Anything doing for young McGrath mate?

I'l leave it mate Addison EQ and more useful for me for next season

Yes i did buy him. Cheers for reminding me

Shall we try again for Lowe???

anything for miles mentella in your academy mate?

I think I am going to see how he develops mate, as think he's a no6 and was captain of the SA u20s and I really could do with another coming through there.

You've got a great academy there - should realy help for next season, do you know what your main team will be yet?
