Would you be more willing if Fraser wasn't involved then mate? Thought we were close along the line.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 01 Aug 2013, 6:01 pm

Mullen?

by Bathite Thu 01 Aug 2013, 9:33 pm

Steyn and Healy

Or

Faletau and Moon for Billy and Mullan?

Any thoughts on the above buddy?

by Guest Fri 02 Aug 2013, 2:10 pm

what for Nick Easter?

by BamBam Fri 02 Aug 2013, 5:57 pm

It's only really Billy that I'm after .. Can you see anything based around Faletau that you would take for him?

by Bathite Fri 02 Aug 2013, 8:33 pm

How about

Steyn and Healy and Beattie and Classens
4
Tomkins and mako and billy and parra

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 03 Aug 2013, 11:27 pm

He was mustard today wasn't he, really filled out and unreal gas. Think he's a star in the making.

Mullen, Billy V in something bigger?

by BamBam Mon 05 Aug 2013, 2:37 pm

What for Billy V mate?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 05 Aug 2013, 8:06 pm

Yea they're a bit ahead.

Really interested to see how he develops, looks unreal

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 05 Aug 2013, 8:19 pm

Possibly

by BamBam Mon 05 Aug 2013, 8:20 pm

Ha, I was a blindside so its my favourite area of the team! My only transactions so far have brought in Tipuric, Mowen and Robshaw so I have got a bit back row happy ..

I've been whoring Croft and Faletau around to try and get some EQ talent but no one is biting yet!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 05 Aug 2013, 10:27 pm

Wade + Walker

Billy V + Mullen

Bit of an oddy

by Guest Tue 06 Aug 2013, 3:13 pm

Yea it was a tough one

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 13 Aug 2013, 6:09 pm

How about Wade for Billy?

by Fluxy Fri 16 Aug 2013, 11:09 pm

Still interested in Mullan, Mathews, Fraser or Casson. Anything for all of, three or two of them mate?

by Guest Sat 17 Aug 2013, 9:49 am

Burger + Mercer = Halfpenny?

by BamBam Sat 17 Aug 2013, 11:20 am

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 20 Aug 2013, 12:45 pm

by Fluxy Thu 22 Aug 2013, 10:35 am

Not too interested in Spencer unfortunately.

Higgy would need either Fraser or Mullan involved, as their is a bit of disparity in quality.

Still interested in Nev? Could incorporate him somewhere.

by Fluxy Fri 23 Aug 2013, 10:53 am

So we'd rule Mullan out, so what about Fraser in that place?

by Fluxy Fri 23 Aug 2013, 5:10 pm

I could incorporate Wray in there if you're in for him?

by ChequeredJersey Tue 27 Aug 2013, 7:02 pm

HEC Pool 3

Tigers H, Zebre A, Toulouse A, Toulouse H, Zebre H, Tigers A

by BamBam Wed 28 Aug 2013, 12:04 pm

Any N8 in particular? All are available, as is Arscott.

Would be interested in Mullan, Buchanan, Casson, Tomkins, Matthews, Billy V, Zebo

Anything you can see? Croft is available too

by CJB Wed 28 Aug 2013, 12:42 pm

I'd want an EQ player back. Who is available

by BamBam Wed 28 Aug 2013, 3:38 pm

Would like Billy V if you are after Faletau

Billy and Casson for Faletau and Arscott?

by BamBam Wed 28 Aug 2013, 3:50 pm

Arscott for Matthews - done

Will confirm now

by Fluxy Thu 29 Aug 2013, 6:40 am

What for Fraser or Mullan then buddy?

by Bathite Fri 30 Aug 2013, 3:21 pm

Anything for Mako, Mullen, Billy V, Buchanan, Parra, Care, Barrett, Tameuifuna, Halfpenny

with

Healy, Beattie, SOB, Tolufua, Kerr-Barlow, Classens, Hook, Steyn, Dagg, Goode, Ranger all up for grabs?

by Bathite Fri 30 Aug 2013, 3:37 pm

Come on mate, Healy is WC, Mullan isn't even an international, I need a gain in the deal! I'd think about Mako for Healy, just about or

Healy + Classens
4
Mullan + Care
?

by Bathite Fri 30 Aug 2013, 4:05 pm

Don't want to lose Eastmond, he's one of my starting EQs

by Fluxy Tue 17 Sep 2013, 10:49 pm

Did you want some money for the Spencer loan mate?

by Fluxy Mon 23 Sep 2013, 10:46 pm

Can Irish do anything for Care?

by Fluxy Mon 30 Sep 2013, 11:56 pm

Fluxy wrote:Can Irish do anything for Care?

Whilst you're around mate any chance to a response for this one?

Also I (Wasps) am in for Mullan, Parra, Barrett and Zebo.

by Fluxy Tue 01 Oct 2013, 12:04 am

What 8 are you looking for? Pickles would need a bit, but Higgy, AJ and Sisi are all 8's?

by Fluxy Tue 01 Oct 2013, 12:24 am

I think 8 is Higginbothams position, especially for the wobblies. I do like AJ he's very fast for a big man. Could structure a deal around one or possibly both if needed be.

by BamBam Tue 01 Oct 2013, 7:46 am

Faletau and James Philipps for Billy V?

by Fluxy Wed 02 Oct 2013, 11:39 am

I know this means I slight you on EQ, but as a starting offer

Mullan + Spencer
=
AJ + Sharples

?

by Fluxy Wed 02 Oct 2013, 12:49 pm

Would've thought Mako and Saunders covers you nicely?

Could possibly involve James?

Unless you;d prefer to lose Mako?

by Fluxy Thu 03 Oct 2013, 4:42 am

I'd do Spencer for Sisi, would you consider Wilson for Mako on top?

by BamBam Mon 07 Oct 2013, 4:35 pm

Thought you might be in for Dickinson, was surprised when you didn't bid!

Can I do anything for Billy V or Zebo?

by BamBam Mon 07 Oct 2013, 4:41 pm

Hadn't seen your post before I posted about BV and Zebo, I wouldn't ask for them in exchange for Ewers!

Will have a think, Ewers gives me a year round option with a lot of potential so am inclined to keep him, even if my back row is getting ridiculously clogged

by BamBam Mon 07 Oct 2013, 8:44 pm

What would you want for Mullan?
