What for Strauss mate?

Would need a replacement prop to lose Mercey mate, and from you would only be interested in Coonie or Mas, neither of whom I think you are likely to want to sell.

I could loan you James Johnstone for the World cup if you wanted. I don't think he is going but might be worth checking.

Could I loan Sam Tuitupou for the WC in return?

yeh Johnstone is yours for the WC. Ishould be okay with Mujati, Brookes and Ceri Jones if needs be.

I would be happy with Carrarro back for the WC if thats alright

I'd probably need Wood for Wilson - what wings have you got available as if I lose Savea then I have got no wingers!

Savea is an interesting player, he has the potential to be the next Lomu, very similar styles - perhaps a bit smaller, but is faster. But he hasnt really pushed on enough this season. Thinking the ITM Cup could be the making of him though, watched him yesterday and he did one run where he smashed five defenders out of the way, so powerful and sucks in defenders all the time.

See Barnes is turning out at Aus club level this weekend Matt

cant really do a deal with £ as not many people are selling people!

I really like Barnes, lovely footballer. Be a tasty partner for Kahui, not so sure about De Jongh.

Matt,

Who is 13. Grey in your starting lineup this week?
You have no one who can play centre by that name in your squad (unless this is a massive experiment and Richie is moving to the backs!)

Would you do James Johnstone + Cash or another player for Rockocko?

I'll do that deal

Will stick it on confirms

Can you confirm the Roko deal when you get the chance please man.

too many players involved for me sorry

I'd be looking at a good eq lock and a good sh for him!

I'm tempted but doing germany for nye so will have to work out the pennies cheaply, if not i'll meet you for the home game, ordered my new home top today

Really not a Payne fan sorry!!

I think for now I need to keep him, it's only big names for big names i'm after

Not really looking to let him go mate.

Power will be part of my game plan mate. Think having a strong pack is crucial and it's an area I've looked to revamp.

Would prefer to hold onto Knight for now sorry

Tom Donnelly and Yoann Huget for Tom Palmer?

What you after for Roussow? With him off to Japan not sure what to offer?!?!

I'd normally say Vermeulen would be fair with Roussow getting on and V up and coming...but with him leaving the scene don't think I could do that.

Could maybe do Pape if something came back my
way in terms of gain?!?!

J Gray, Strauss, Oost, Alberts, Saull, Kahui, Gear, Guildford etc

I meant add something my end too, no probs.

Pape + Woods/Duffy

Roussow + Saull/Gray

Would be pretty fair I think, if not no issues. As you said hard to rate Rous as if he goes he's plummet and if he stays he won't.

Fair enough mate, see Pape/Roussow pretty close myself, both good 4's.

Don't see much between Woods/Saull either (both second choice 7 for top clubs) but think Saull has potential to improve.

An EQ loosehead.

what for alberts mate?

ok no worries

You seem to be struggling at 4 mate, could do you something with Slater maybe? Gives you a better option than Hanks imo

James Simspon Daniel
Charlie Sharples
Zac Guildford
Hosea Gear
Israel Dagg

Any of these available mate?

Clerc + Tuilagi
for
Guildford + Hamilton?

My thinking is Guildford is way down the list if you've got a fully fit squad, and especially with the likelihood of Sharples/JSP playing more often than not with the EQ rule.

Would you need a winger in return for Guildford? Maybe a lock as you're not overly flush there? Thorn? Leaves you with arguably the best two 4's in rugby.

Considering offering Jenkins. Just not sure if I can part with him...

What for Coonie Matt?

You do rate him quite highly! I prob wouldn't swap for McCaw if I'm honest lol.

He had a great battle with Brok Harris at the weekend, Harris gave him some scrummaging lessons (technique wise) but he's so strong he walked Harris back at one point. Could be top draw in a few years.

EQ BR?

Needs to be huge , he will be the best 8 in world rugby in the next 3 years and will play 8 at the RWC

See exactly what you mean about Jonathan Davies - did you watch the game? Thought he he was shocking. Not sure if it was because he was playing 13 but cant really work out what he offers.

Molenaar + Caucau
for
Gear?

Would need a backrow replacement to let Palu go mate. Who you looking to let go?

Barkley is a handy option for the EQ but need back rowers for the world cup! Would do him in a straight swap for Fa'asavalu if hes not going the world cup. David would need a centre back to keep my depth up

If i was to get rid of Watson I'd look to do it on a permanent basis as if I do a loan deal I would need to releases another player becuase of my squad size.

Hopefully Cips wont be picked on too badly as weather is perfect for running rugby!

Where are you looking to strengthen during WC Matt? I might have a few available for perm/loan

Prob can't do Payne as he's likely to be starting 13 for me. The other 2 could be goers though, I'll get back to next week if ok

Fitz is a winger?!?! Lol

Can't turn down a good perm deal mate, I'll sort you out promise x

What would Hazell need?

I'll check if Driver needs him still, if not he's yours

Molenaar could be available if I got someone in return?

Can loan Yann David mate if you have world cup back rowers available
