Am interested in Cane mate.

Probably because Brussow was out for about 2 years! No bother anyway

Cane straight swap for ?

With the make up of my squad Watson is more valuable to me than Cane at the moment mate.

Shouldn't be hard to keep track of my squad mate, I've done a new page for next season which is up to date with my deals...

https://www.606v2.com/t53718-london-wasps-2014-15

I'd need a 9 back mate.

Would take a big big deal to even it up

Would you be interested in doing Tom Stephenson for Tom Collins? Just looking at your squad and with your centres it looks unlikely you'll play Stephenson, whereas Collins as a back three player might get game time for you. For me it's the other way round as I have loads of wing depth but light in the centre. Let me know.

What about Mark Bennett mate, would you trade him for Collins? Gains you another EQ and I get a body in the centres which I desperately need!

Madigan and Bleyendaal are 10's really and the Fijian lad is a winger. Need a proper centre. Will have to have a look in foreigns, but I suspect the couple that I am looking at there might go before I get a chance as the bottom four are getting first dibs in foreigns when the window opens.

If you're after a lock I can do you Sitaleki Timani, but would need a centre in return.

I would imagine that Fekitoa will go early in foreigns. Would love to get him and be able to put out 9. Smith 10. Cruden 12. Nonu 13. Fekitoa, but I suspect that it's unlikely!

Yeah, it's an interesting one.  If Montpellier win the Top 14 in the next few weeks and he plays well, I guess his rating will soar, as happened with Rory Kockott when Castres won last season.

Interested in stander

Slipper and Paddy Jackson may be available

I'm willing to part with Owen Franks but would need Henry Thomas plus someone else.

Beck for Ruddock

Not really interested in losing the future number 10 in Welsh rugby! I'm a fan of Priestland but think The drop between the two currently is minimal and Patchell has a higher potential.

Lood De Jäger available?

Yeah your second row depth is currently unbelievable. Two young Saffa locks, Manoa and then the England pair.

Not really mate, got no interest in losing him. Can see him being my fly half in the not too distant future. Would take some big players!

Forgot about him, quality options there.

Really don't fancy it mate

Olver/hooley?

Olver/hooley?

Olver/hooley?

Luatua and Bowe?

I'll take olver please

Numbers are all above board. Some DOBs for you below:

Rhys Marshall - 12/10/1992
Jonny Gray - 14/03/1994
Rhodri Williams - 05/05/1993
Will Hooley 28/11/1993
Tyler Morgan 11/09/1995

Olver & Packman both played u20s during the year.

Still ok for me to have olver?

Could do Catt but would need EQ elsewhere, maybe Thomas

De Jäger?

He's a good option at 4, didn't realise he'd been picked up. Johnny Gray is top too, you have loads of 4's again lol.

When did you add Onojaife?? I can't remember him being there when I did my checks as I'm sure I would commented on his lack of age as I did on everyone elses

And he's a lock not a prop.

He wasn't there earlier today.

Need to bid for him Chris, you can't just add players even though they're from Saints academy, I'm having similar issues.

3m Bonnaire?

I've only got 4m.

Stick on confirms if happy

I thought you wanted a quick deal???

Give you 6m for Bonnaire?

Is our academy loan player arrangement ok? Make it flexible as required.

Can have your pick
Of pollard goosen or potentially Cips in 6n.

It's 4n I struggle although hopefully less
This year as I
Have changed things

Pollard for giteau?

Now you have hook do you fancy selling toomua mate ?

Could probably help you out backrow wise where you may need a 6 or anywhere else you think you need a player

Going to put out my 6 n side this week

.

Hayman?

Faumaunia could leave in the right deal. That green for Rhodri Williams is blinding

Could build a deal round Jones for Thomas? Could throw in an academy th too if you want

Charlie Faumaunia could be available on right deal mate

What sort of deal for hook mate?

Would leave me short of a top TH mate so struggling with that one.

Hook?

Would you be keen on Castro?

Goneva?
