Either
Ansboro + Spies 4 him
or
JDJ + Roussow 4 Spies + Oliver

JDJ

Mat

Will you do Pisi for de Jongh if I get Pisi in the draft?

No worries mate, give me an idea of who you would offer for him, you know the players of yours that I like.

what for JDJ?

sorry mate rate pienaar over jdj. pienaar has been top 3 9 over last year. jdj is quality though but still young.

Shall me and you smash something out? Seems everyone else is!

No thanks I've got de jongh on my mind :L

Harden, Wood, Saull, Casson, May?

Pisi for Saull, Lewis or Kahui?

Skirving for the pair?

I'm unsure about Casson, he never really kicked on from an impressive U20's last year, but worth a punt.

Qera also mate

Ok, well give me a list of who you would swap him for and let's see what we can do

what for hamilton?

You were interested in Skirving not long back I think, no probs. Really like Mermoz, he's got the lot was Roberts and Guildford you got him for. Seemed massivley over the top at the time but not too bad considering Roberts fall from grace.

Jauzion + Lobbe 4 Alberts + De Jongh

Enquiry

See Attwood is playing at 5 for England at the weekend. do you think he could make it there? Hoping he doesnt get picked for England during the WC, but think it looks likely that he will be!

What would you be looking for Gear mate?

Anything for Dagg?

Best + Beattie 4 Alberts + ????

You want the best in the world in his position + a good young prospect for someone that doesnt even start internationally :0

Never seen a player with more talent than JOC mate, he's unreal. Carter has been the greatest FH ever but sure JOC will have a similar career, he'll play 12 next season for Reds I think.

I'd have Gear right up there but needs more time at Int to fully prove himself, only played the AI's I think. A good world cup and I'd have him up with Bowe, Jane poss Mitchell at a push. They haven't been great but have done it for a few years now.

Must admit don't have Habs up there, needs big games for SA. I know you love Guildford but he's not really at that level imo

Not sure who I'd offer, what are you looking at and I'll see if we can put something together.

Maybe get him in something???

Read an interview with Luke Watson, said Vermeulen had been best 8 in SA for years and was criminal he wasn't in or around SA squad.

Lol...loving the slippers. Not really into the physical side of things the Belgiums, weird bunch.

Yea he lacks a bit of pace, huge work rate though and likes the graft, bit like Alberts.

What kind of deal you looking at?

Not really interested in Rok mate sorry

Can't lose Juan now SOB has gone fella. I'm not too good at one player swaps, can't see anyone I fancy at a similar level.

Personally rate Parra > Genia.

Who are you interested in from my team?

Alright mate, what for Robson, Diggin, Saull and Hamilton?

Are none of the other players I mentioned available? How much cash would you want for him?

I'd need more than that for TPN mate.

No deal mate, rate Morgan quite highly.

Out of the list of players you want from me, only Louw is available the rest will not be going anywhere.

None of the players you mentioned interest me that much.

The players of yours that I like are JSD, Sharples and Dagg.

I am interested in Diggin and Hamilton but wouldn't lose Louw for them. What would it take to get JSD, Dagg or Sharples?

I'd give you £6m for Diggin.

I'm more interested in Hamilton to be honest. How much cash for him?

Gopperth not for sale, only just signed him.

I'd rather hang onto Clegg mate.

Hey mate I use the wings to keep my eq limits up at the moment so not really looking wingers. Who you looking to loan out? would definitely be interested

I did like Hamilton a lot, think he's a very good club player but no more than that anymore. I still think he has the best running lines in the AP, but he's starting to show in that that he no longer has the pace, and never had the size to get through defences.

A really clever player, who I like, but just think he's starting to decline.

Yeah I'd noticed that about Savea, if he came through properly he'd be in the All Blacks squad now I think - but as he's only 20 I'd give him another 2 seasons before he becomes a star. Such talent.

Looking forward to the Junior World Cup, apparently Argentina have a star in the no10 shirt coming through, whose worth keeping an eye on. Rating England's chances of a top two finish, but can never really see anyone beating the AB's at this level - they are freaks!

Hey Matt, did you sign and sell Dan Robson or is he going in domestics?

He'd be classed as academy yeah? How much?

would be interested in pasquelin as well mate if you were selling him? You still looking to loan out some english?

Struggling to put a cash price to him as lots of people have been interested, but would do straight swap for any one of Saull, Lewis or Sharples.

I'd need eq hook/prop too

not sure mate as my other target is afoa who steve is bidding for so could be pretty high for either.
cant think of any other decent tightheads?

Happy with you are with that, want to confirm it?

Great signing in Gray mate, think your Gloucester bond with Prop sealed that one! I'd have went higher but i missed the boat!

A much better prospect than George imo, he's nearly as good as Lindsay

See above lol.

Think he's a cracking player, I'd take him over Lindsay just. Much better than George who's not good enough yet

Anything for Sharples?

any deal for somerville? wouldnt need nel then!
