Anything for Muller?

I just released him mate, so don't think I can do that

Shouldnt be an issue Arry. You had released Burgess before selling him and I know its happened a few other times as well

Think i'm quite close to a deal with Tigers for him. It'd had to be better than that for me

A player i'm interested in is Ruan Pienaar

Don't fancy any of them tbh, think I am getting a better deal from Luke

What for Geraghty and academy prop Tom Smallbone?

I'm still interested in J.P mate, anything we can do?

I'm light on hookers mate, so would need a swap for another one, and I would also need him to be English. From you I am not sold on Lindsay and Bucko is apparently out for the season so I can't really see a deal mate.

The following players have picked up injuries, they will be available to play again on the week stated.

Tom Lindsay - AP R5
Luke McAllister - AP R6
Nick Kennedy - HC R1

Sorry mate, but I need him for the match day 23 with the EQ.

Could do Haywood, or Motu'u?

Happy to put that up on confirms if you want mate.

Hi Nick

Just to let you know if you don't already but loan players count in your squad numbers and if it takes you over 40 you have to release one. Essentially the loan player counts in saints team numbers and yours when they are on loan,

It scuppered a deal i was wanting to make with Arry a few weeks ago

Did you go to Irish v Gloucester on saturday???

How did Freddie Burns play?

Download it off Tasman Steve

Watch them all on Prem Rugby site. (Full games)

Pretty decent steve, couple of decent breaks. May was good, sharples average just don't see the hype with him, genuinely think varndell has as much to offer, but i rate varndell. Ojo was very good. Jj quiet, Anthony Watson came on and did well.

Think I might keep hold of Alexander mate as he appears to be coming back into some form and people also appear to be rating him in this game going by the comments about him recently.

Who could you give me in return

Yarde?

Looking for EQ

NFS

Who've you got available?

Smith, JP somewhere?

Struggling to put anything together mate, I'll come back to it

Might be tough mate.

With Faletau being U21 I'd need to release somebody to do a deal.

Would need to be big. would be looking at Conrad Smith +. Struggling to see anything. Smith has a couple of years in him Max think he is 30/31 and NZ backs dont play that long.

Also Alberts is a good 4 and 8 also.

What were you thinking

Give you £2m for Rocky?

Yes mate have him for 2

Would defo loan mumm if possible?

Need a backrower really mate

Cheers mate needed that win I think at this stage to keep me in the hunt for playoffs.

Waiting to see the All Black team as want to get Beauden Barrett a run out as he hasnt played much for me. Will be playing the likes of Kakovin, Dawdiuk, Henderson, Kvesic in the pack. Looking at alot of the academy boys in the backs. Spencer, Addison, Buttin, Gilroy will all start.

Interested in: Muller, Daniel, Talei, Watson and Yarde

Depends who your after lol

Would be needing one of Garvey, Muller, McAlister or one of the Armitage's to be involved.

Hawkins will be availible if I sign a foreign, as he the one likely to be released for Squad restriction reasons.

Can loan deon fourie. Cracking player

Anything for Kennedy/Garvey?

Fair offer but can't lose a hook mate

I'll take Sackey off you mate?

Yep go for it luke

Currently have £1.25m. That enough?

1 will do

Please confirm the loan and he is yours. I have depth in that position So can do without him at moment

Told you it would finish 2-1 , watching it now and Pardew needs a slap.

Formations all over the shop and players are not happy with him.
