First topic message reminder :

As a general rule, if you want a world class player (and by world class I mean a player that I consider to be one of the 3 best in the world in his position at the moment), you will be looking at between £20-25 million.

For a top international with over 30 caps, £17-22 million, and an international with less than 30 caps £15-20 million. There may be some exceptions to this in the case of certain players, but this will be the general rule.

There will be an upper limit of £10 million for uncapped academy aged players unless two or more managers want the player and enter into a bidding war in which case there is no upper limit.

Bids for uncapped players who are over academy age limits will be judged on their own individual merits.

He's yours

by dammit_chris Sat Jul 04, 2015 5:44 pm

Was hoping to sneak in with a £5m bid for him right at the end of the window.

by Guest Sat Jul 04, 2015 5:57 pm

Looks a player. Both him and his brother are monster carriers. Akira ioane was the big signing of this window. They are both raw but look like Future stars.

Imagine they will work on Akira's contact skills( spills a lot despite monstering the yards) and work rate/fitness (he needs to grow into his huge frame) and in about a year or 2 he will be Kainos replacement. Seen as more of a 6 in Nz and such an exciting talent

by Guest Sat Jul 04, 2015 6:00 pm

These 2 look like the new Savea brothers. NZ produce so much talent.

Charles Ngatai Nanai Williams etc would all be ints for most other sides and are way down nz list and Williams opted for Samoa due to it

by Sgt_Pooly Sat Jul 04, 2015 6:16 pm

James Lowe - 12m

Another example of how many good players NZ had.

Good player surprised he ain't in ab squad. Has a kicking game. Play naholo and savea and you will not win a WC as teams will kick long and play in corners. Like highlanders did to tahs.

If woodcock Coles or Owen franks get injured AB's could have real issues. Apart from that can't see past them

Buggers, I was hoping to pick Ioane Jnr up on the cheap later in the summer!

Sale bid:
Nicky Smith - 15m

Another I thought of. Academy aged also. Looks real deal and could be well tidy in a couple of years. Hard with young props but to play that level at that age means he must be tasty

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat Jul 04, 2015 11:49 pm

Suspect he'd have got game time during the 6 nations if it wasn't for injury. Was immense for Ospreys when fit and supposedly highly rated by Gatland and co after his few caps during the AIs.

by Guest Sat Jul 04, 2015 11:54 pm

To play prop
At that age like Samson lee Rob Evans etc means you are good.
Will take hidings as not properly developed physically but when you have a limited pool of players like Wales then young uns get a chance. Been good when I have seen him. Has paul James gone back to Ospreys ? If so may not get as much game time ?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun Jul 05, 2015 11:15 am

James signed on but Smith just tied down to a 4 year contract so obviously rated. Think hes two years younger then Evans as well?

Chris - Rieko Ioane, £13m, 5.38pm

Facunda Isa £16m

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon Jul 06, 2015 10:41 am

Had him on my list as well Chris. Suspect he will do well in Super rugby next year and is already well thought off by the Argies

by Fluxy Mon Jul 06, 2015 10:46 am

Can you all stop signing potential Exeter Chief players please, it would be much appreciated....

by BamBam Mon Jul 06, 2015 10:57 am

Rory Thornton - 8m

by dammit_chris Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:01 am

SJE, I had Tuisova on my list as well so you forced my hand with Isa, he's only had a few caps but looks like a great prospect. The s15 side Argentina are putting together looks like it could be really strong, they've got some very good young props and a lock Padagabel or something along those lines.

Was also looking at Huw Jones, but Prop beat me to it.

by prop_lyd Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:17 am

I've got 1/2 more smaller targets just to get some academy depth

by dammit_chris Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:25 am

I'm hoping to do similar Prop, but thinking I might need to get a more established no7 for when Pocock is away on international duty.

RG Snyman - £5 million

by **Ozzy3213** Mon Jul 06, 2015 5:09 pm

Wanted to go for Huw Jones, but don't quite have the cash!

by prop_lyd Mon Jul 06, 2015 5:30 pm

He was my main academy target!

He is the one I put off buying.

by ChequeredJersey Mon Jul 06, 2015 6:05 pm

Because I can't see him looking elsewhere- Rory Arnold, 7m?

by Guest Mon Jul 06, 2015 6:40 pm

He is in Aussie training Squad CJ so 7 might struggle

by ChequeredJersey Mon Jul 06, 2015 7:02 pm

I realise I am undervaluing him a bit- increase to 10m
