Saracens Rugby Football Club

What's your point? He's the best LH about on form and he's back from a long lay off. I had Roncero so I didn't need to start him.

Are you cracking up today? Your offers are normally fair lol

Lol...me and Chris were close but I'm in a similar position. Always listening to fair offers though

If we want to get a deal done here, there are two ways to go.

Either...

Toeava + Dus
for
Jane + Pocock

or

Toeava + Dus + Hines + X
for
Jane + Pocock + Nallet + Y

With Y > X, as, like I have said, I would rather have Hines.

Cheers Pete, had no idea we were doing a draft this year - what a cheap way to pick up Nicky Robinson!

Out of interest, what is your opinion on Patricio Albacete? He's one of my favourite locks and I've seen 3-4 newspapers/rugby magazines have him as their no5 of the year in the Heineken Cup next to Lawes - but for some reason not many people seem to rate him on here?

Also looking at improving my front row - would be very keen on Matt Mullan - could we do something for him?

Isaac Ross, Sisi, Lowe
for
Botha, Mercey ?

What's the dealio mate?

Go on then.

You are determined....

Rate Tommy and Juan as best in world in their position so need a similar kind of player or top English. Mermoz just off this but similar deal.

Happy to do bigger deals. Interested in:

Corbs, Kitch, Wood, Mullen, PARRA, Jane, 36, JD.

Ranger also

What do you reckon mate?
Could do Schofield instead if your after experience?

I'd let Peel go but it would have to be for good eq player

JD + 36 + Mullen

Mermoz + ?

Danahar + Wallace for Wood?

For Moody it would have to be Tom Wood. Not going to lose the England captain cheaply

Add Jones for Kubriashvili on top of those two and I'll deal

I'll leave it

What for Mike Brown and Graham Kitchener?

Hendre Fourie for Luke Narraway and Mike Brown?

Page 3 already!!! Lol

Schofield and Sisi
for
Botha and Mercey

??

36 + Mullen

Ojo

Enq

what can i add to it mate? or how can we tweak? i am quite interested....

Sorry pete pisi is good but de jongh for me is one of the most exciting players around.

Pisi is really good but no idea how he will settle etc. Would give you a player for him but dejongh is one of my untouchables

We'll never do a deal I reckon lol

not sure i can let botes go without a replacement 6/7.
anything else?

i know its hard!

have a think on it mate....mercey is main target over botha. dont necesarrily need both in a deal, would be nice though!

Wood + Mullan + Kirchener 4 Golding + Worsley + Deacon
ENQ Will have to think before I deal on that though

lowe + for botha?

I'd deal on Rees for Smit if it interests you

Just seen your deal with Luke....

Arr + Tincu

Parra + BdP

Not an enquiry

Pete if i had wanted Pisi as much as those players are worth i would have signed him in the draft.

Kahui is WC and going nowhere. Form centre in NZ thats for sure.

Lewis English as is Saull who i still think is a cracking player.

Pisi is a squad player. same vain as Tuitopu, Tiesi etc are for me

Any movement on Rees for Smit?

waiting to see where Sackey goes mate as if he comes back to England could improve his rating. Still a decent player. Also cant let English go for foreign.

if your after a number 8, i have stowers, hala'ufia, powell available.

Barclay may be available if you are after a number 8

Would do a straight swap for JVN?

Mercey, Scaysbrook and Mullen, 36 for a change

Pete,

Any movement on Smit for Rees?

I think he's amazing mate, best 6/8 in the NH and developing into one of the best 7's, but I was unsure where he fits in my side. I like to play a fetcher at 7 and dominate the breakdown and that meant playing him at 6. That's why I'd have let Juan Smith go to have Robshaw and SOB at 6.

I personally think Brussow is only behind McCaw at openside so it was great offer from 207 and gives me second natural 7 which I needed.

I was equally if not more surprised with your Luke deal...did you not see my tongue in cheek comments, didn't even get a bite! You must be busy

Was only tongue in cheek but was quite surprised none the less. See Dus as a similar player to Wood so interesting to see what your plans are.

Nonu + Mullan 4 Jauzion + Golding
ENQ

I do like a traditional 7 but see your point, I think Pocock is amazing so was in shock when I seen you'd swapped him for Dusatoir. Look forward to seeing your gameplan/lineup mate.

Hey mate don't think I can do a deal for bezy struggling to get another scrum half in sorry

Dusatoir better than pocock currently. Good deal.

Jane for toeva ?? Do not get. Jane out of form as are all his teammates comes down to pack.

If pocock does not progress then good deal.

Jane so much better than toevea. That said I think starting nz wings will be gear and Guildford with sivi as impact sub. Jane not as dynamic. He will cover 15 if Dagg out

Potentially do Kankowski for Mullan and Twelvetrees?

Hougard + Donnelly for Rees + Ioane

Sorry mate Horwill NFS

Really don't want to lose him, but if the offer was too good to turn down...

Not sure you havexa lock in the same league, so i'd need a big gain or two.

Rees + Mullen + Kitchener

for

Smit + Matfield?
