I'll give you some acad players to fill up with mate. Players like Catterick/Welch/Wilson can go in there also.

Hodgson is a real gem.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 22 Dec 2011, 11:09 pm

Gives you a beastly front 5 unit with Palmer/Hudson/Murray...I get the feeling your going to make Falcons hard to beat!

I'll be back for a few players when domestics open. Shiells is having a fantastic season on the Loose head

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 27 Dec 2011, 3:02 pm

Back to you on the draft fella

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 29 Dec 2011, 2:15 pm

Be interested in Palmer mate, also got players available for cash thumbsup

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:46 pm

Tait's available mate. English players tend to be worth a little more than foreign players due to the EQ rule. Make me an offer thumbsup

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 29 Dec 2011, 4:11 pm

Make a cash offer on Tait mate, Looking to keep Allen for now

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 29 Dec 2011, 6:25 pm

No gain there mate.

Tait is yours for 15m

by Driver Thu 29 Dec 2011, 6:31 pm

Will Skinner for Joel Hodgson?

by CJB Thu 29 Dec 2011, 6:40 pm

He's a quality player mate! Young and EQ.

Will Welch + Euan Murray 4 Matt Ksevic + Any prop except Mullan + Neil Best

by CJB Thu 29 Dec 2011, 8:40 pm

No thanks, only like Murray and even so I'd have him about level with Mullan maybe lower.

by CJB Fri 30 Dec 2011, 2:26 pm

Horstmann + Taumoepeau 4 Murray

Gives you a quality prop and an EQ back row player

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 31 Dec 2011, 12:13 am

14m + Hufanga for Tait?

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 31 Dec 2011, 11:54 am

No probs

by LukeLovesLuka Sat 31 Dec 2011, 11:56 am

No sure where I gain there?

by LukeLovesLuka Sat 31 Dec 2011, 12:05 pm

Not lookingto lose many of them TBH.

Tough job you have here. Foreigns crucial for you.

by Steven_Sharks Sat 31 Dec 2011, 12:07 pm

Sorry I prefer Vernon and Seymour and Gaskell has potential to be better than Hudson so gonna stick with what I've got.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 31 Dec 2011, 12:25 pm

Don't really want to lose Parling, would probably need Palmer involved

by Steven_Sharks Sat 31 Dec 2011, 1:01 pm

I'd take 15 mil for him as he is in with a shot of the England squad in 6N.

by Steven_Sharks Sat 31 Dec 2011, 1:05 pm

The price is because I'm not looking to sell him so has to be worthwile for me.

Don't see a gain there fella, Murray is probably the only one, otherwise I lose 4 international players or there abouts

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 01 Jan 2012, 10:50 am

How about: Matt Tait + Ben Woods for 18m?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 01 Jan 2012, 10:52 am

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 02 Jan 2012, 11:54 am

by pullthestrings Mon 02 Jan 2012, 1:40 pm

I'd be interested in Hudson but the other parts don't really take my fancy..

Hudson + Murray + Lund
=
Casey + Corbs + Thorpe

enq.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 02 Jan 2012, 1:48 pm

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 02 Jan 2012, 4:31 pm

You offered 16 and I wanted 20, 18m sound fair?

by Driver Mon 02 Jan 2012, 4:32 pm

Greg Gooson for £5m?

by Driver Mon 02 Jan 2012, 4:45 pm

Not interested in that deal mate , Tui is a class act at 6 but doesn't get much TV time so isn't as rated as high as others
