Anything for Jason emery

Would welcome that mate

What for Laidlaw?

Our game next week looks a cracker.

Be bloody close

Forecast is grim but 7 day forecasts often wrong

Woodcock back
Is good for you makes bench
And team stronger. These injuries are a git. Dan Robson back
Helps
My bench as does guildford back playing

Just realised Buchanan can't play against you. Balls !!'

Yes but can't play against me ok. ?

Figallo a step up on Brooke's. good at Lh as well. Th is his best.
He was voted
Best th at the World Cup. Montpelier have monster props

Laidlaw would tempt me...want a NH scrummie if any tbh

who would you swap for Spies?

no need for him mate with peel and KB.

Denton I would consider.

I'll have a think on Spies and Botha for Denton and Rees

OK I would deal on the above if you want

good deal for both.

Wanted Denton for ages gives me a good Scottish backrow, combos are important in this game.

Having Spies probably allows you to play Warbs and Hooper 6/7 now.

I'm not willing to lose Brown anytime soon mate. And you didn't really offer any cover if I were I lose Brown. Was tempting but not really done it for me.

Steve sat in camberley and in notts all day tomoz. No lap top signal. A business hotel with wireless slower than dial up???

Alright mate can we do anything for; Fearns, Warbs, Gibson, Laidlaw, JJ

Could certainly be interested in the Jones deal - do you know what the rules with academies are for next season at all?

Will deal on that...gotta take some risks for young EQ

Ok I will deal on Jones for Nutley - think that Nutley is the better player, but I can't resist getting another Wasps player at Saints!

I'll think over it mate. Anything doing for Gibson and OLH?

I will buy OLH off you Steve

We confirm OLH mate

Great signing flux. Think he is top.

Not often I disagree with Steve on rugby but think OLH future star compared to Chisholm.

Both good players.

Your academy produces player after player Steve . Abundance of riches !

Thanks for letting me know mate

Would you consider a Brown - Marler or Wood deal?

No worries mate. would be looking for similar EQ to that I don't think Fearns is quite that level.

Are you still interested in Bowden? Not sold on Hougaard for him, anyone else perhaps?

Bowden for JJ or Fearns maybe?

Ill do £5m for Hougaard mate.

Yeah I'm happy with it mate, I was going to say £5m for hougaard, but Luke's beaten me to it.

Go on then

What you needing cash for. ? You fancying mogg in the foreigns ?

sorry mate, Fofana is one of my players who wouldn't go for anyone. Build my backline around him, Tuilagi and Savea.

I have quite a busy week at work lined up, so wont be on that much. I think I have you in the last game of the season and will be making quite a few changes to the team I played this week. Will be:

1. Thomas Domingo
2. Moto Mata'u
3. Henry Thomas
4. Courtney Lawes
5. Patricio Albacete (c)
6. Dan Lydiate
7. Calum Clark
8. Billy Vunipola
9. Mike Phillips
10. Tyler Bleyendaal
11. Christian Wade
12. Weslie Fofana
13. Elliot Daly
14. Siti Siviatu
15. Leigh Halfpenny (k)

16. TPN 17. Mako Vunipola 18. Carl Hayman 19. Joe Launchbury 20. Liam Messam 21. Nick Phipps 22. George Ford 23. Ben Foden

Thanks for the loan and please keep figallo until after final

What do Harlequins and the GAA have in common. Any Quins fans know?

What for Warburton and Cooper mate?

The Quins jersey is made by O'Neills who make all the GAA jerseys.

What for serfontein ?

Sorry mate but Manoa isnt for sale, paid pretty big for him and he's available all year round. Got Messam though if he's of interest?

I could have Harry Robinson available if you are after an academy aged winger.

Be looking for a similar level academy aged player back mate, so would be looking at one of...

Rob Buchanan
Pieter Steph Du Toit
Jan Serfontein
Chris Feauai-Sautia

Interested in Gaskell and possibly Welch

Bit of a tempter but I do think Smith will recover his form and then I've weakened my lineup imo.

Everyone is possible, although JD I had planned to start next season. Would need something big; Afoa/Hooper/Warbs/Kearney unless you plan to include a big EQ

Afoa + Kearney + ? for Nalaga + Davies + Kubs

I'll take crockett and ngwenya off you for cash

I can give you money or about four players I'm looking to let go.

5.5 mil?

Yep I'm happy with 6mil. You ok to put it on confirms? I may not be able to edit my team till tomorrow as am out till later tonight.
