I'm not keen on losing Wilko and Kubs in a deal where i only get one top quality player in return. Pretty much all of my wins were based on Kubs' solid scrummaging and Wilko's boot, so to lose one is big but to lose both it would need to be massive.

I can maybe add Sheridan if you'll add Heathcote so we keep the same number of people in each position of our squads?

by Driver Mon 28 May 2012, 1:16 pm

Gibson?

by Londonirishollie Mon 28 May 2012, 1:27 pm

Ok. Not keen on losing Kubs what so ever. I think i can get away with a weaker loosehead rather than a weaker tighthead, so to lose Kubs it would need a gain elsewhere.

Any chance of getting Brussouw or Pineaar involved?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 28 May 2012, 1:56 pm

I don't think so lol....

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 28 May 2012, 2:02 pm

I like Corbs mate but he's warming the jersey for Marler and Cole is one of best TH's about, nothing in that for me

by ChequeredJersey Tue 29 May 2012, 12:06 am

Not Ransom, not Spencer, not Brits. The others are all doable but I need English for English where possible. Loans on players also available.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 29 May 2012, 12:34 pm

Nutley and Armstrong are available mate and could possibly do Craig for the right offer. Is Eztebath available?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 29 May 2012, 1:23 pm

I'd be interested in Etz

by Fluxy Tue 29 May 2012, 1:26 pm

I never said he was available.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 29 May 2012, 1:30 pm

Is he?

by ChequeredJersey Tue 29 May 2012, 3:19 pm

Too many changed for me mate. Who are the ones you are most interested in?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 29 May 2012, 3:35 pm

Sorry mate see no gain for me there at all:

Craig > Swinson
Nutley = Wilson
Armstrong > Stegman

Players that interest me include Bendy and Eztebath. Can you get one or both of them in a deal?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 29 May 2012, 4:40 pm

Sorry mate can't see a deal then as no one else really helps my squad out and not looking to get into the big deals that would be needed for the likes of Pieneer and Brussow

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 29 May 2012, 8:45 pm

Newcastle Falcons you have been offered 2 sponsership deals:

Newcastle Brown Ale - 20m for the season
or
Metro Centre - 10m initial and 3 x 5m injections through season

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 29 May 2012, 9:32 pm

Sorry mate that wipes out any depth I have on the wing

by ChequeredJersey Wed 30 May 2012, 11:08 am

Not going to do it sorry mate

by ChequeredJersey Wed 30 May 2012, 7:52 pm

Possibly Whitehead and Hala'ufia for Smit and Wray, I confess I don't know much about Hala'ufia. I see he's pretty old for a young Englishman. I don't think I can justify it though, as Smit and Whitehead looks fairly evens all things considered and i think I lose out on the no. 8 trade. Sorry

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 31 May 2012, 10:29 am

DUE TO A RECENT SALES INCREASE IN FAKE TAN, THE METRO CENTRE HAVE GAVE YOU A CASH INJECTION OF 5M

by Fluxy Thu 31 May 2012, 4:25 pm

Oh lovely...

by Londonirishollie Fri 01 Jun 2012, 11:44 am

As you're after a tighthead are you interested in Stevens?

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 02 Jun 2012, 12:34 pm

No need for cash mate.

Interested in Etz, Gibson, Corbs

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 02 Jun 2012, 12:44 pm

No interested in Welch/Hodge for those players mate.

Deacon + Stanks + Newby

Corbs + Gibson

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 02 Jun 2012, 12:49 pm

Cole nfs, think we're struggling. I'll leave it

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 02 Jun 2012, 7:37 pm

Awful offer lol....Cole nfs

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 02 Jun 2012, 7:48 pm

Sorry mate no gain for me there

by LukeLovesLuka Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:03 am

Make an offer if you see anything

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:14 am

Deacon + Stanks

Corbs + ?

by ChequeredJersey Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:20 am

Maybe with Heathcote involved, but you know how hard I hold onto those players!

by ChequeredJersey Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:26 am

I said he was the most expendable of the options covered by other people, not that I didn't want him! Hypothetically, if Hodgson goes for Heathcote and Smit for one if your Hookers (Whitehead), who do you offer for Ransom?

by Driver Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:38 am

What for Bruss?

by Driver Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:53 am

Kvesic and Payne?

by ChequeredJersey Sun 03 Jun 2012, 2:12 am

I think we'll both be happier if we leave it. I'm reasonably happy with my squad ATM, not perfect but getting closer to a genuinely competitive one

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 03 Jun 2012, 2:35 pm

Corbs? I'm not looking to lose a TH though....

Back 3 is looking nice....think you need centre/8/10 but looking strong

by Londonirishollie Sun 03 Jun 2012, 3:15 pm

Any chance of taking out the Kubs-Wilson part of that deal. I can add something worth more than Mulipola on my side.

Wilko and ?????
for
Corbs and Heathcote

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 03 Jun 2012, 3:20 pm

Could get one of those involved

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 03 Jun 2012, 6:02 pm

Could only get 2 involved with something back...along the lines of:

Deacon + Lowe + Stanks

Corbs + Etzebeth

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:11 pm

Didn't realise you had another....put that one to bed then

by Londonirishollie Wed 06 Jun 2012, 4:34 pm

Tuitupou and ??
for
Abendanon

by ChequeredJersey Wed 06 Jun 2012, 9:42 pm

I'm interested in Hudson, Mercey or Wilson. I appreciate you may need at TH back in return for the latter two.

by Londonirishollie Thu 07 Jun 2012, 1:20 am

I'm looking to get two good english fullbacks, as in the long term i want it to be a permanent EQ position, so wouldn't be looking to lose Miller to get Abendanon. I know I lack a decent full time FB replacement apart from Miller but i can maybe include Cueto and you could play Jane at FB and Cueto could be your fullback cover.

Cueto and Tuitupou
for
Abendanon and Mark Wilson

by Londonirishollie Fri 08 Jun 2012, 2:23 am

No interest in Poff or Helleur mate.
Any chance of doing a massive deal?? Could include Burger so you get the dream Burger-Brussouw combo.

Burger, Cueto, Tuitupou, and Charles
for
Eztebeth, Welch, Abendanon, and Paice

by Driver Fri 08 Jun 2012, 2:38 am

Extebeth for Kohn and Lindsey?

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 08 Jun 2012, 8:43 am

Fluxy wrote:Stanks + Deacon + Lowe

Stanks/Corbs & Swinson/Deacon are similar gaps so would consider a deal with those 2. I wouldn't be looking to add Lowe on top though unless you added somebody of equal quality.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri 08 Jun 2012, 9:31 am

Sorry mate can't see any gain for me in that offer

by Driver Fri 08 Jun 2012, 4:55 pm

Lindsey , Brookes and Easter

For

Corbs and £5m

by Driver Fri 08 Jun 2012, 5:00 pm

Same offer but that £5 becomes Wilson/Robinson/Grey

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 08 Jun 2012, 5:01 pm

In direct comparison Stanks is better than Swinson and he's EQ which Swinson isn't with him declaring for Scotland.

Swinson will not get anywhere near the Scotland team anytime soon as he's not very good imo.

by Londonirishollie Fri 08 Jun 2012, 9:35 pm

Can't lose Burger without getting Eztzebeth.

Tuitupou, Cueto and Goosen
for
Corbs, Abendanon and Heathcote
