I think Ribbans is EQ mate

cheers mate

Hi mate,

interested in: Hill, Waller, Lawes, Mallinder, Francis.

I know feck all about my squad in all honesty so need to get an idea before I can make any deals

Think you're an Irish fan? Can you help me work out which of the forwards are a must keep / definite release?

Got a bit more of an idea of the backs, but any input is appreciated

Current thoughts on must keeps are

Reid, Franks, Hobbs-Ayowemi, Petrus, Chaves, VDM, Cowan, Treviranus

Sure we could do something there.

Squad is over the limit mate, I've got you at 46. Can you trim it down by Sunday

Something with Mallinder/Goode

I think I'm going to need Loz mate, hes a handy backup FH.

Anything for Harrison for Falcons?

Rate Goode higher at this stage obviously but Mallinder a punt.

Straight swap is ok-ish with me mate.

Cool....first deal!

Cash or player or mix? Which lock?

Can do mate, anything in particular interest you?

Not sure .. can I come back to you after a couple more foreign signings

I can only lose 1 lock really, Skelton a poss if Nick doesnt go.

Yes but i'd want Hartley in any deal.

I'm only not looking at deals for Charlie Ewels from my locks.

Are you sure? They are all really good

What for Skelton? Looking at a back of similar quality

Francis, North, poss Horne

Anything for Courtney Lawes mate?

Interested in PIErs Francis

Would you do a deal around Lewington for Harrison?

Would need a replacement wing back ..

Lewington + ?

=

Collins + Harrison

Anything on the above?

Any other players you're interested in? Could beef it up with another player

I'd swap Wood in for Harrison if that would be easier

I'd be giving two starters away so would be looking for two back

Yeah maybe but Lewington is better than Collins imo so would want an upgrade at the back row to make the deal

Tigers:

Waller, Brookes, Hartley, Lawes, Isa?

For both I would like decent EQ.

Brookes, Hill, Haywood, Waller, Patterson, Harrison interest me

Adams and GJ Van Velze for Harrison

Lewington for Harrison?

Anything for Dingwall or Lawes?
