I really like Jordaan mate, let me have a think as need to look at where it leaves me numbers wise as he won't be academy aged.

Morning mate.

I've had a think about Jordaan/Tolofua. At present Tolofua is more valuable to me, he's a full international in a key position and academy aged. The only way I could do the deal is if you added some cash for me to buy a new academy hooker, so would need to be Jordaan + £5m for him.

In that case I'll stick it on confirms mate. Pleasure doing business.

Could do Johnson for Harry Thacker.

Horwill, evans, M Young and Lambie?

Johnson & Taute for Thacker & Hines

Am struggling to see anything else player wise mate.  Could do cash maybe.

Can't lose Afoa and not too keen on losing Hamilton either mate sorry

New page eh

Always is. Marler wasn't for sale until Pete asked. I would be keen on Horwill but I'm not keen on losing Botha or Hamilton which I suspect are who you'd be keen on from my locks.

Shame he got injured. Hopefully comes back as good.

Thacker and £12m for Johnson and taute, lets do it.

Would a Romano/Horwill deal in some form work for you?

Strettle + JOC
=
M Brown

?

Which Evans is that because If It's nick evans I don't think I make much of a gain.

Everything looks above board squad wise   

Jacques Burger and Pape?

Trying to keep POC is possible mate

Can't really see anything for Juan Smith sorry.

Think you may be seeing Sheridan retire In the next few weeks also

Brown, Cole, Louw

Can't see anything for those players mate. Looking for a 12 as back up to Scott and available during 6 n.

Don't fancy and of your 12s unfortunately since jordaan has been moved on.
Not looking to change my side that much as think I am a bit more balanced during the 4n now

Actually could look at a deal for George involving kellaway if interested

Yes I have a lot of backrow. Seem to collect them. Have loads of back 3 available all year with rhule, banahan, Gear and Walker.

Schalk needs world class back to be fair although he is an injury risk.

Would keep the offer at George for kellaway. Have a think about it

Can't let go of Mumm or Evans sorry, taken me a while to get Mumm back!

Had a quick rethink about it and could perhaps do something around POC and Horwill again if you're interested?

Hi mate , 

will be putting my best 15 out for our game next week so will be something like

Smith , Jane , Bosch , JDV , Pitatau , Farrell , Phipps; Mullen , Best , Franks , Slater , Parling , Lydiate , McCaw , Read.

McCabe and Nalaga?

Not too sure where I could give you gain, any suggestions?

Could involve Clark - what you thinking?

Would need a gain elsewhere, will come up with a potential deal

Don't think we can agree anything for POC at the mo

Need England Int EQ involved mate, who you got?

Not really interested in those two mate

Lambie and some sort of gain mate

No thanks mate, wouldn't lose JD for Cuthbert

Could base something round Horwill but not JD

Probably do him for Johnson?

Cencus, Horwill?

Hi luke sorry if I did not respond just started a new job and working away for a few weeks





Carter or Cips ?

A no go for me.I have 4 int 10s and will get that down to 3 to
Be fair.
Pollard or goosen the ones maybe up for sale


For some reason goosen gets stick on here despite being a bok and looking great every time he plays int rugby. Injury prone I grant you but still young.

Hopefully when starting for racing metro people will see his worth. Pollard a star and bok already

Both would take a serious offer as 10 a huge position.2, 3 8 9 and 10 most crucial.

Looking for English so corbs cole etc of interest maybe in a wider deal?

Sorry mate.  Moon could be my only senior loosehead available to me in the AI period.

Faletau, would need JMF or Louw involved and Murray would need Burns somewhere for us to start talking about an offer

Palu = cheslin Kolbe and Taute? Enq not sure I would
Do
It

Will have a think
On it. Back on tomorrow

Will pass on that deal. Really like cheslin Kolbe but Palu will start or bench for me so will leave it

Qera starts for me sorry. Could loan ardie Savea?

Creepy being? Not that up on nicknames

I cannot see anything on Healy or North. Rate both as best in world in their positions so would take something huge. Feel free to make an offer but unlikely

Just realised you meant Creevy? Creevy and Maitland for Nalaga and Rapelle

AWJ and Steffon for Matfield and Louw?

Sorry mate can't see where I gain In that offer, and Murray isn't going anywhere.
