What's he been called up for?

I tried to forget about that game, wasn't it 35-0 or something

Got no interest in selling Parisse at all, same with Lawes.

Am trying to build my team around

Hartley
Albacete
Lawes
Lydiate
Parisse
Phillips
Giteau
Fofana
Tuilagi
Halfpenny
Foden
Ashton

Trying to get players who can support them during 6Nations, so wont be looking to lose any of the players listed above.

What for Dan Cole mate?

What for Marc Jones and Ernst Joubert?

Leaves me a little light at Lock mate


Would you entertain Zirka for Joubert?

Next season he won't be used , this season he's still very much part of my plans.

On loan? If so then i'll deal

Who you willing to lose for him?

I'm mainly after a EQ hooker , Locks , Blindside and Eight along with a ball playing 12.

As much as i'd love to take Vickerman off you with him being one of my fravorite players and me being a Tahs fan i'm also very aware that he doesn't have long left in the tank.

Brian O'Driscoll (OC) (IRE)
Clement Poitrenaud (FB/IC) (FRA)
Vincent Clerc (WG) (FRA)

What for them in a deal for end of the year?

Willing to include

Zirka , Pisi

Not really looking to lose Maestri mate, looks a beast

Beale/North need monster deals

Horwill is the only one I like in a deal for Whitelock

For Mermoz I'm not sure, if EQ goes down to 4 e becomes more valuable to me!

Personally put him 5th or at least I'd rather have the back up to him (Mermoz) starting than the back up to my other not so good EQs.

Any chance of Pocock in deal?

Yer I was just making an enquiry to the availability of him

Poitrenaud + Clerc to a certain extent

Pape?

To let Hook go I would need a good ball playing 12 in the deal mate

waldrom or joubert available?

depends who you are after mate?

willing to listen to offers on most players

untouchables are tonga, castro, garvey

sorry mate that doesnt really help me as looking at joubert to be a back up for spies so losing kaino isnt really worth it.

what about if we take pape out the equation, so just a deal for joubert.

who else you interested in?

i agree he is quality
but most of the time spies will be my first choice

not massively fussed about pape so think il leave it

would need 12T involved

Cencus & Barclay?

See Jauzion play at FB at the weekend?

Not overly sure where to go with Barclay....

Mitchell(25) for CJ(30)

Is that the kind of thing you mean?

Probably back row mate, Croft interests me.

Not really interested in Barclay mate. Croft really is my number 1 target to get off of you.

Cheers for the advice on the other league as well mate, appreciate it

sorry none for sale mate

What for Croft and Manoa?

with all your hookers anything for Tom Youngs?

I'd want Cory Jane in a deal

Don't really fancy it tbh then mate.

PDJ + Kelly Brown for Cole

If you're contemplating selling Cooe I'd appreciate the opportunity to try to better any offer you receive.

Who are you interested in for Miller, Twelverees, Youngs & Ojo

Give me a list mate and I'll see who I could include

LukeLovesLuka wrote:Flip, Kruger, Maestri, Brussow, Brown, Barritt, Payne, Maitland....

English need English back.....

I could probably lose Flip without a lock back, Maitland and Payne make me an offer, Brussow would need Pocock involved.

Interested in Miller, Cole, 36, Jane, Horwill, Jenkins, Ojo

Brussow + Maitland + Barritt + Flip

Pocock + Ojo + Miller + Barclay

Not concrete but trying to squeeze players into something

I thought you'd be ok with Poff always available.....Not sure else to include instead of Barclay

No thanks mate

I'll leave it mate

I'm not good at putting together big deal, makes my head hurt!

What for just Miller?

Anything be done for Twelvetrees for next season?

Youngs, Cole, Miller, 36, Ojo?

Make me an offer mate.

What for Croft?

Fair enough. Bowden not for sale.

I'm interested in Mears, Manoa and Ojo.

Cole/Horwill/Manoa/Vickerman/Pocock/Croft/Waldrom/Crane/36/Jane/Nacewa/Clerc/Ojo interest me

Interested in Youngs (hooker), Moore, 13T and Laulaua.....

Letting any of your props go?
