Watched Harrison play last week for Saints academy, got two tries - I would be amazed if the u20 set up dont try and sign him up for this year's JWC. Could definitely be answer to england no7 problems by 2015.

Still sniffing round Hook mate. What position would be looking to strengthen?

Am not unhappy with looking a t a big deal mate, give me some names that you'd be wanting to be involved and I'll see what I can come up with.

More interested in Cruden than O'Mahony.

Paice, Bekker, Cruden, Bendy?

Would need a bit more adding to it matey

Give me a list and I'll see if I can do anything

Not sure I can get Mullan in anything mate. Could get Lambie involved for Cruden if that interests you?

Not somebody I really want to lose mate, kind of base my game on a good fetcher. Anything else?

What do you reckon for to Lambie for Cruden mate?

I'd want a TH coming back my way fella , done my 40 man squad for next year and i only had Alexander and Zirka as out and out THs with Crockett stabilizing there.

Salvi + Kruger/Tialta


How was the stag do by the way? Messy one?

Haha! Where did you go just round Cork?


I could add Tom Mercy?

Brussow could possibly be available, would need a bigger deal though

What for Matt Kvesic?

Vito, POM, Piccles, Care, Sexton, JTH, Hook, Bendy, Imolek, Kvesic interest me

For Haskell I need Kvesic/Care in the deal.

Any of my backs interest you for Hook

POM + Cruden

Brussow + ?

Prepared to go big for cruden mate what will it take?

Likewise for Cruden

Lambie and Mtwarira for Cruden?

Interested in Cruden too mate

Anything for James Hook or Barkley mate?

Hi SJE

My actual comment was missing a couple of words. i was on a phone. what i meant was you were missing front lineout option. a big lump type if the weather started to turn as the weather was raining slightly and could of got worse.

I actually gave you quite a winning margin. Also Whitelock is probably the best 5 in world rugby. as i said bekker vs whitelock a great contest.

AWJ i am never a fan of and for me his lineout work is weak.

Toulouse lineout has been pretty poor this year although mainly due to servat or one of the other plethora of hookers they use. Picamoles is used some times but is not really option. this does not matter as Thompson is an option.

SJe had a great tournament and impressed me but never a fan. Historically i post this. however fair play to his 6n performances which is why he carries ratings

i did not mark him down but i would not use him as a front jumper.

sorry - only just saw your post after I pressed confirm! will pay better attention next time!

Could do something with Mullan in if you're after EQ players.

Guarido or Creevy available?

Hipkiss?

I don't want to do much for him tbh mate, I was looking around the Hipkiss level. Think our valuations might be a little apart.

Yea we def have different valuations lol

I've lost some serious quality but has helped with getting numbers down, glass half full and that....

only just saw your post about Whitehead - do you have a list of players you have available?

Hipkiss 1st choice 13 mate, has been out injured.

No issues anyway, we all rate our own players highly. I wrongly assumed you might be releasing Creevy tbh, didn't think you'd want much for him. What would you be looking at realistically?

Best playing well but 6N will me hit hard.

Way way off mate, wouldn't look to involve any of those for Creevy. I think we're best off putting this one to bed lol

Cruden?

Kvesic + Earls 4 Medard + Botes

What kind of thing would we be looking at? Don't do over top offers but might be able to knock something up

Could get Steyn involved

Steyn + ?

Cruden + Hook

??

I'm massivly interested in James Hook if you can see a deal.

Afraid so mate...

Either another 10 or something big added

Yea Flood is a toughie as not many good English pivots about.

Interested in Paice, Ayerza, Vito, Thompson, Picamoles, Care, Strettle, POM, Retalick

Make it Vermeulen instead of Brown and I'd probably go for that. Duane has playing 6/8 this season so pretty similar players.

Fair enough with smaller squads he is probs one of the most valuable backs on the game and is in sparkling form at 10.

Didn't think you'd go anywhere near that, worth a try, am very interested in Kvesic

Anything for Christian Day mate?

Any of my back 5 not named Beale or North interest you

Yea no probs fella, I'm not quite sure myself but like risks! Lol

Let me have a think about that mate.

For Lowe and Burns I would need Bell, JTH, Thornley, Addison and Brady.

I understand it's a ridicoulous suggestion but that is what it would take at the moment. Things might change as my squad changes but that's what I need to sell them to you today. Will see how things change.

Interested in Quedragao and Hook.

Hynes or Heymans for Addison?

Catt, Paice, Retallik, Bekker, Vito, Ouedrago, POM, Pickles, Care, Sexton, Hook, JTH, Barkley, Freuan, Earls, Smith, Bendy, Imolek, Mcintyre, Kvesic, Brady
