Similar with me, though I think a lot of my fringe players are out on loan at the moment, wont be playing Ashton, Lawes and a few other big names and certainly starting Wade and Imhoff out wide!

Should really have recalled my other players like Daly and co!

Alright mate, looking to tie up a deal for JJ, Robson, Percival, Kahui, Donald and maybe Hari or Stander

What for Sharples?

Would need to be Saxons level EQ in another position mate, so looking at Wood, Gray, Sharples or May.

No sniff of a deal for Sharples?

Not see anything else?

Don't see a benefit for Irish there mate.

Any deal for Fourie or Strauss?

I can do Zanni for one of them.

Just saw your comment on Fourie - that'd be really helpful, might be a bit light in the hooker dept without Hartley!

Would you be tempted with something like;

Zebo + Pisi
=
Kahui + JJ

?

Would need academy involved. COuld do...

Yeh completely understand bud - could get senior players involved too - just academy needs academy. PSDT and Jordaan the next big things in SA.

That's the problem. Can't remember the last deal that had academy players in. So hard to rate the 'next big things'. Difficult to lose in case they make it huge in the next few months or so.

Haha no chance.

No interest in that, no one better than Roug in foreigns and available all year

Doubt it mate. Would be interested in a JJ/Pisi deal however.

Doubt we would match any where mate. Apart from the above.

Coenie for him

It is strange how some players don't get the whole professional thing like that, you'd think each guy who got to play for their country would be 100% committed all of the time.

Been quite lucky with some of my other props as Mako and Henry Thomas seem to be coming on quite nicely now, didn't realise that Thomas got called into the full England squad!

Million ?

Is the added £4m for me not letting you get in an offer for Zebo? Can't be inflation or a neither have played badly or exceptionally well recently.

I can't see you adding £4m all of a sudden as feasible.

Cheers for the team post, imagine mine will be:

1. Domingo
2. Webber
3. Hayman
4. Clark
5. Albacete
6. Bonnaire
7. Cane
8. Messam
9. Simpson
10. Hernandez
11. Imhoff
12. Giteau
13. Daly
14. Savea
15. Foden (but expect him to get an England call up so could be Imhoff to 15 and Wade on the wing)

6Nations is a bad time for me!

I can't understand why the French continue to play Fofana on the wing, seems bizarre how they are playing.

I desperately need a good no5, or lineout leader - I am sure Parisse does it for Italy, but always get picked up on not having a top no5.

Poff could leave mate, what are you thinking?

Thought you wanted Poff?

Ryan is one of my untouchables, need something big. Not a player that is close to retirement.

Still interested in JJ

29

Fair enough.

Not sure we will see eye to eye on poff mate.

Not for Poff, but I'm interest in;

JJ, Alberts, Ferris, Perenara, Kahui and Ofa Tufagusai

Rob Horne?

I'd need to keep an eq option at 7

Would be interested in robson/gray. Saull's behind fraser atm.

What for Sharples????

It's a good offer. I'll sleep on it and let you know.

Tom Croft + ??

for

Charlie Sharples + Jamie George

Chuck in Fasa and it's a deal

Leaves me light at 6 though.

+ George on loan till end of season?

Go on then, stick it on confirms.

Alberts?

Cheers for letting me know about Fa'asavalu mate. Good player and has been seriously handy for me to have this season.

cant really see anything mate

Yer I'm happy with Qera for Horne

Not interested in Hari or Heaslip. Hari is over the hill now and Heaslip is an awful six masquerading as an 8.

I see you have Arno Botha in your squad. Sounds like he will get a start for the Bulls this week. Could be a big season for him, he's got loads of potential. could be very good indeed.

Very big interest in Alberts so if we could get him in a deal I'd be very happy

Well I think Sheilds is a good fit for my squad compared to some of your players so I can't see a lot tbh

There is plenty of players I like in your academy but my back row rotation isn't strong so I've got two quality young players who I am hoping come good just because it fits my team

One of my friends brothers has just been called in the England u18s - didnt realise he played for Gloucester, his name is Simon Linsell and players lock, could be worth keeping an eye out for him!

Stephen Ferris
Willem Alberts
Schalk Burger
Immanol Harinordoquoy

Straight swap for any of them?
