Diggin available.make me an offer. Would even take cash for him

Could lose one of Easter or Crane for a blindside

fourie

Haughton + Best 4 TPN + ?

Your going to have to suggest something then

Hamilton and diggin for TPN?

Hamilton could be available

Reihana wont last long, he will retire soon. And I lose English in that deal which means it needs to be a better deal

Hamilton for Morgan?

interested in fourie, louw and haskell

cant lose two english players for a foreign.
also think johnson is quality so not letting him go easily.

sorry mate no interest in williams. johnson could only for for fourie.

You desperately need wingers and fb back up

I have habana rococo diggin and Hamilton available.

Players of yours I would like are barnes louw fourie and tpn.

Any way of doing a deal for any of those players? Let me know if you want any of the players I mentioned

il hava think

All of those players would start for you. Top internationals.

You asked earlier if Hamilton and diggin were available.

They are and you could get them for louw

Dagg would cost you barnes don't want to sell him.

Jsd sharples not for sale.

Make an offer for diggin or Hamilton.

With mitchell out injured you have tom Williams and reihana as wings so you could do with some

English winger plays for hc cup finalists as 1st choice. Would start for you so 6 million is way off.

Diggin for gopperth

Or Hamilton for gopperth

Clegg? You have loads of 10s and 1 fb and 3 wings. Hamilton for clegg

Arry, I'm not sure which Hamilton you mean, or who has him - but I wouldnt rate Scott Hamilton anymore, he seems to have lost his way a bit this last season - did you watch him in today's final? Defences have found him out now, when he first came to England he was exceptional, but Leicester miss Geordan Murphy so badly.

Jim Hamilton is ok, but think he's around 34 now, so again not sure if that's a shrewd move either!

What did you think of my offer?

Hey arry mate would need a replacement th if I were to let him go who you got available?

Got Ben Jacobs who I could put into the deal? He can play 12, 13, 15 and wing!

would you let fourie go in a big deal? still tempted by johnson for louw. just cant let english go for foreign really.

give me some idea's im always open for negotiation!

tonga nfs at any price im afraid

i'd do johnson plus ???

tonga going nowhere

cant let english go without return

think cato will shine at saints so keen to keep him unless quality offer

Thought you were the one who came asking for Watson? Lol - up to you mate

Arry, Watson really isnt average - he's an awesome player, plays 6,7 and 8 and has been Bath's best forward by a long way over the last two seasons.

Was offering Jacobs because he covers fb too and it seems as though you really need some cover there - and Dan Caprice was in the deal to give you a good English quality player.

dont know what to suggest mate, think we've hit a wall

Going nowhere Arry

Scaysbrook, Naqalevuki, Ollie Smith and Mike Brown for Fourie

'Arry wrote:Alright mate, out of the players you have offered me only Mike Brown interests me.

I'd do Twelvetrees, Brown and Kitchener for Fourie.

Not a chance mate, you are seriously overating Fourie if you think he is worth those three. He is good, but not that and will potentially miss half the season on international duty.

decent offer just not sure if i want to let cato go.

would include someone else, a number 8 to strengthen your back row? powell? or jacques botes to give you a flanker?

il think on it mate

Need Prob Morgan and a gain somewhere else for Ojo. PDJ & Robshaw nfs.

Seperetley really interested in Burgess and will try and put something decent together?

irish couldnt sort a deal out with leeds so he joined sale.
apparently going for haskell instead now.

go on then mate, deal

think cato will do really well at saints, sarries wasnt a good team for him due to their style, imagine he'll get the ball alot more at saints

Unlikely as you won't offer the right quality

Cusiter + Hodgson + Medard

Burgess + Gopperth + Mitchell

I'd say Medard was better than Mitchell myself but no probs. Give me a good list on who to include on top of Cusiter. Or Wigglesworth and possible English you'd include back.

You mean all my English lol. If I lost Wigglesworth I couldn't lose another English starter mate, destroy my side.

Wigglesworth + Fitzgerald

Burgess + Cato

Gives you another top class wing and perfect compliment for Mitchell.

Doesn't mean he's any good though lol....only messing.

What would you need added to Wigglesworth? I can't lose another top English player without one in return as already losing Wiggles who starts for me.

Tpn, robinson, Haskell, Johnson, Burgess, Barnes, Mitchell all interest me to some degree?

On top of Wigglesworth? Can't do that mate without similar quality English returning.

Alright mate, what for Jordan Crane?

===

Something involving Johnson I guess.

Would do Dan Caprice, Luke Watson, Shane Geraghty, Chris Lewis-Pratt and Matias Aguero for Will Chambers and Rory Clegg and the academy player whose name escapes me - gives you a lot of options during WC?

I may let Newby go possibly but would prefer EQ br in return

Let me know if you would like to do that deal mate

Skirving for Newby?

The following players are for sale and I am not asking the earth for them, will do a reasonable player swap or cash...

Max Lahiff
Ruaridh Murphy
Bob Casey
Marty Holah
Rodney So'oialo
Scott Mathie
Billy Twelvetrees
Ollie Smith

Let me know if you want to do anything mate.

Don't know if you'd let him go but would be Fearns
