I prefer Kolisi to Lydaite which is why I think I'm losing out too much! How about Jones, the Aussie?

Still prefer your side a tad mate. Will have a little think what changes we can do as think we are at a stalemate

Wilson, Mullen, Slater, Parling, Fraser interest me.

I'd need top int quality for Flip, Read, JD, Smith etc

Losing out twice mate, Flip needs better players involved

Not all upgrades are the same. Losing Hogg for no real starters put me off tbh

Parling?

I don't quite see Burrell as equal however. 

Could get Flood involved perhaps, doing very well in France.

not looking to lose Tui unfortunately bud

Tempted bud, but instead of Allen can we include a flanker?

I haven't got much interest in Allen, unless you can throw a 13 in?

Ruddock, Ewers, Lydiate and Fraser, one of?

Sorry missed your post at the weekend, from the next game until the end of the 6Nations if you want for Deveto?

Sorry bud was thinking it over. I can't really lose Madigan and Losowki and that would result in losing two EQ. 

I would be keen on a 13, however only JD interests me. Was more interested in sorting out an extra flanker.

Done mate.

BamBam wrote:Hi mate, what for Iain Henderson ?

Same as Luke apologies for the delayed reply! Big fan of Hendo so reluctant to lose him. Could get him involved in a deal if someone of the likes of Coles, Phipps, JD, Smith or Piutua were involved.

sorry buddy just back on a PC. Not keen to lose either Brookes or Clifford sorry

George or dan robson ?

Dan NFS

This is tempting. My one issue is Parling doesn't work in a partnership with Whitelock IMO.

Well Slater instead of Parling but I'd need an improvement elsewhere for that?

Fair enough, just can't do it with Parling. His skillset doesn't suit my team

Gone off the boil with that one mate sorry. I was interested in Jane, but can't really lose Strettle as he is important to my EQ quota.

Difficult mate, as I'm willing to listen to offers but can't see us agreeing on anything, unless you have any suggestions?

At 13 mainly. The only EQ I'd really want from you would be Mullan, Slater, Ewers/Fraser or Faz. 

Like I've stated Jane has an interest, but was more keen Piatua. I might be able to help you out in the front row, with Heyman and Stevens on their way out perhaps?

Not keen to move any on at the moment as all could be 1st choice internationally by the end of the 6 nations and worth a lot more to me then

JD2, Saili and Marshall interest me?

Ducalon, Marshall, Saili, Lydiate
for
Faumaunia, Cave, Hogg, L. Jones

No interest in losing Amos. Personally had Faum > Ducalon so thought I was giving you an improvement!

Wilson, Saili, Lydiate
for
Faumania, Hopper, Jones, Hogg, Charteris

I can afford to do it with 6m

Okay I'll deal at 10m

Barritt and conlon?

Mullan, Slater, Kruger, Fraser, Piutau

Best, Slater, Ewers, Davies, Smith, Pitatau, Hogg?

Anything on the above mate, Davies & Farrell esp

How about:

Foley + Clark + Bosch

Farrell + ? + JD

Probably not anything until the end of the season mate, as got to look at how many EQ I keep in my academy. Think Stephenson is academy age for another year.

What players do you have in mind?

What for Ewers bud?

Would Cook and or JCW be same level for you?

Possibly Bosch, Taylor, Williams

Who were you thinking of?

Who have you got available mate? Rate Goneva quite highly as available all year and covers a few positions.

Need to improve my front row so to let Franks go would need to build Mullan into the deal

Ben Smith?

Could build it up a bit, I'm well stocked in the centres?

I would be in for Parling mate

That's way too one sided for me mate

I know mate but the back 3 is the least important area imo so couldn't go over the top.

Could do one or two of those lads mate. 

Would be keen to add in Best somewhere if possible.

Can't really see a straight player swap to be honest. Coudl do him for cash, about £10m

no worries mate, don't want to make anything too complex! Depth wise I could do with a back rower.

I'd need EQ back mate, who could you do?

Could maybe base something round that.

George + Flip + ?

Best + Parling + Fraser
