Trinder's going to be my starting 13 next season so can't let him go for Hipkiss!!

Rotation fella

Not sure....was going to offer a bit of cash for him

Could add evans, good young no8

Tasty offer fella , i'll get back to you.

Could i not tempt you into making Evans into Farrell?

Evans is pushing on being my love child of this game lol.

Could i not add a Jack Clifford on my side? England U20s 8?

Would you go back and do SOB for Farrell on there own?

What for Golding mate?

I wouldn't let any of them go for Catt sorry.

I could tell he wasn't going easily! Need to improve my replacement LH's!!

Just really rate those guys though!!

Any chance of including one of your big guns - Healy, SOB, Dagg, Steyn or Franks?
Would be more inclined to lose Goosen i think if you can come up with something. Just bear in mind i can't lose EQ players without a similar EQ player coming back my way.

Not keen on losing Cruden. Maybe

Cruden, Vernon and Sheridan
for
SOB and Healy

Goosen, Fourie, Vernon and Imoliek/Sheridan
for
Donald, Laulala, SOB and Healy

Gives you improved 10 and 13 and means you have future SA 10-13 and i get an improved LH and another physical backrower to play with Schalk.

The reason i'm hesitant is that theres not really any 10's still availiable in foreigns who don't have massive question marks over them. Whereas there are plenty of looseheads of a similar ability to Healy (Woodcock, Domingo, Beast, Coonie, Barcella). Is there really no way you can do the offer above?

Ok fair enough mate. Pooly's also intersted in Cruden so will see if he can beat your offer, if not i will have a proper think about your offer and let you know in a couple of days

Whitehead +Mercey
=
Catt/Golding + Perenise

?

Make me a offer!

I think i'm going to keep hold of Cruden for the moment.

Goosen, Imoliek and ??
for
Donald and Healy

Sorry mate had a hectic couple of days.

Best i can probably do is

Goosen and Thomas
for
Donald and Healy/SOB

You offered something similar about a week ago i think??

Still not 100% sure. But i think i'll probably do it.

Interested in SOB mate

Tom Wood & Richardt Strauss & 5m for him?

Bathite wrote:Not really interested in Strauss mate, but SOB could leave for the right deal. Don't need cash though, so will have to be gains.

Tonga, Kitsoff, PDJ, Lawes, Sexton, Harrison and Craig interest me

Ok mate so something along the lines of:

Wood and Kitshoff
=
SOB and 3 mil?

????

Don't worry it's nearly the weekend.....Franks available?

Lol...I'd prefer to keep Cole with EQ etc. No probs

I'll leave it mate

SirJohnnyEnglish wrote:Ok mate so something along the lines of:

Happy to drop the cash off if you want to deal on this mate?

Lose both Castro & Cole in 6N so could do with a SH alternative

What sort of deal would it take to get SOB then mate?

I'm in for SOB.

What do you mean??

Do you mean cash?!?

No thanks

I've stated a few times I don't want to sell top players for cash, makes no sense.

We have 1 foreign left and I have 23m, why would I sell one if the best scrum halfs in the NH for cash?????

I stated for the right offer.....I'm not interested in cash thanks

I'm perfectly calm

Anything for Golding, Fearns and Attwood?

I don't have Heath anymore

Yes I do, but it's too much of a risk for Donald. Or for any #10 sorry mate.

Nev is NFS maye sorry.

Would still be interested in Fearns an Attwood. Maybe Hudson and Welch?

Both need to be hefty mate , Daley is my starting 13 and Heathcote will play when Faz is away. It's not that there world beaters just vital players in my squad in terms of availability.

Lahiff, Yarde, Watson, Cooper, Brock, Hariord

==

Watson/Yarde can go for cash.

Cooper/Hari not for sale.

Others will need players involved.

Sorry to be brief, rushed for time!

Hodgson and welch can leave for a fee. How much you thinking?

£8 mil each

Bit tight! I was thinking that much for Welch alone!

I'll leave it

Sorry mate i don't rate perenese. A tighthead has to be able to scrummage and i'm not sure he's up to it. And the ££ doesn't really interest me. I can release a couple of players if need be to be able to get my foreign target.

Keen on Watson/Yarde?

£22m and Farrell is yours. Not a penny less.

Yeah i'll do the

Goosen and Thomas
for
Donald and Healy

deal if you still want to?
