Cheers mate!

Has anyone signed POM yet?

No one has POM yet mate

I believe it is CF and prop with U23 bids left?

Correct. Will update budgets today if I get a chance

completely stuck here with who to go for sorry! thinking of going for a winger/full back but May's gone!

Craig Gilroy?

Earls or Zebo

Zebo is 23 though

Rhule?

Gilroy was one i looked at

craig gilroy 18mil

Fourie Du Preez - 25m

Bit of a risk: David Pocock, 25million

Isn't he moving to hooker?

He played flanker yesterday

pocock moving to hooker???????/ where did that come from?

By yesterday I mean Saturday

Matt mentioned it on other game , Aus RFU want to move him there to give them more depth at 2 with Hooper and Gill already at 7.

They won't

He's too old and could immediately add to the Aussie team in the backrow

Cancel Pocock, for today

Jacques Burger, 20m

Is my bid ok? Looking to play him in next game

Gilroy, Pocock, Burger and FdP all accepted.

Nice one fella!!

I cancelled Pocock, unless I can get 2 for the price of 1!

Sorry got my wires crossed! Burger is accepted.

Chaps .. I might have cocked up the budget

CJ I don't think you had 20m to spend on Burger - I have you down as having 17m on the 12th Feb, which means you would be on -3m before week 10 predo cash is added

Actually, ignore me I forgot about releases

AWJ 22mil??

AWJ - £22m - rejected

Ok cool, worth a try!! will hopefully have enough after these predicitons!!

Mike Brown - £25 million

Do you have 25 mil?

Yep, I was on £13 million when Bam last did the budgets on 24th Feb, since which time I have £4 million to come from Tigers for the loan of Frans Steyn, and 2 lots of prediction cash at £4 million each taking me to £25 million.

Guess what I'm gonna do once my player release
Money is confirmed?

How high you prepared to go for him?

I don't know. I'm weighing up some other options, as if I get him I'll essentially be looking to trade one of my back 3 players for a 13 or lock. But he's so class. There's 2 other options I'm thinking of, probably more sensible but I'm as emotionally attached to Brown and Care as I'm sure you are of LI players

But higher than 25 mil, not more than 30. Narrow window

Yeah, I know what you mean about emotional attachment clouding your judgement.

I can get an extra £2 million for releasing Anton Bresler, and would release Lwazi Mvovo if needs be, which would be another £3 or £4 million as he's capped, depending on how Fluxy sees it, so my top bid would be £30 or £31 million, and as there are no world class 12's out there for me to bid on, I will put it all down on Brown.

Well, at the moment you are the one with the bid on, I don't have the cash to trump it yet!

When budgets are updated: awj 25mil. If accepted can he go on the bench for this week

Technically you are getting 1m a week for Steyn.. So only have 2m to date

Making 23m..

Mike Brown 26m

This could be tasty.. I just wish I had the cash to get involved

Brown - £27 million
