Top work on the transfer mate!

Didn't realise someone was lined up for Toulon. I was in the middle of negotiating for BDP with Sam.

I hope that I can continue that with the new guy. I'll be starting we I left of with Sam, not looking to stitch up the new guy.

Cheers

Hello as your the person who runs this all, I would like to make an offer if possible.

Genia & Mermoz & Rossouw
4
Kelleher & Giteau & Williams

Genia over Kelleher starts for the Wallabies, Giteau over Mermoz, Mermoz excellent form in Top 14 but Giteau is experienced and is getting back in the rhythm of things, and Rossouw 4 Ali don't know views but I like both of them.

Thanks

Would you still be interested in the deal you proposed a while back mate, with a slight alteration?

Thorn+ Marconnet + Rokocoko + Brussouw
=
Alba + Castro + Hamilton + McCaw

Enq

Genia & Mermoz & Rossouw
4
Kelleher & Giteau & Williams

Hello pullthestings, I have had a re think about the above and fingers and toes crossed I have an idea for someone to partner Williams so not losing him now.

Croft & Mermoz & Dagg
4
Wood & Giteau & Toeava & 7 million

Wood player of the year, Giteau established and experienced, Toeava very good full-back and 7 millon could come in handy said Bathite.

Thanks

I could push to Ayerza for Marconnet I guess

I need to just get in a 7 in Ouedraego, but need to sell Wood for a good 6 then my back row would of changed dramatically in just under a day.

I know Croft would be hard to let go, but Tom Wood is pretty good himself of course.

Ayerza & Croft & Mermoz & Rougerie
4
Steenkamp & Wood & Giteau & Basteraud & 5million

Rather long but just a thought really thanks

Ayerza + Toeava
=
Steenkamp + Dagg

Not doing that sorry, Steenkamp better than Ayerza and Toeava and Dagg you can hardly seperate.

Toeava & Giteau
4
Dagg & Mermoz

Or maybe Genia for Kelleher instead of one of the aboves don't mind which one.

Thanks pullthestrings

Toeava & Giteau
4
Dagg & Mermoz

Giteau wouldn't be a loss would he, like I said to someone yesterday one mediocre year can't put you off him, he is too good and has been one of the best players in the World for years. Like I said would this be better as Bathite mentioned something about ratings?

Toeava & Kelleher
4
Dagg & Genia

Ayerza + Moore + Mermoz
=
Giteau + Steenkamp + Rees

Just trying to find these top 10's that bathite mentioned what you did on the actual 606. Moore and Rees is bugging me, Mermoz been on excellent form top try scorer in Top 14 and everything.

Hold on please mate

Can't find the top 10 hookers what you did not good.

Not too sure could you find them for me or not, would help not just in this deal but overall.

Thank you

Can't find anything so don't know who is rated or not.

But seen Genia in most people top 3's and Kelleher mostly in 5th. Still a no on swapping them?

Should I get a caretaker page in for Clermont now?

A 2 4 1 would be ideal or

Castro + Roussow + Ayerza
4
Cole + Lawes + Alexander

Thank you for that information bit worried about the lack of comments on my page today was hoping for some key deals.

Nevermind hey

What you doing on here at 0349....

might be a bit late in the day, but can I loan a back-rower mate?

So you should be, for the best LH in the world and ERL World XV starter!

Im looking at 8 and 15 as gains for me

Domingo + Kirchner + Kankowski + 5m
4
Ayerza + Dagg + Spies

enq only for now

Fair enough on Kank, but Dagg is the one I want, get an all nz back three.

Lots to consider on the big deal, but would want dagg involved

Domingo + Nallet + Alberts + Maitland
=
Ayerza + Russouw + McCaw + Dagg

See the first two as big step downs, the third as big up and 4th slight up in my favour

Well, 8 and 15 are the final pieces in my jigsaw. Pooly reckons sort those out and i will be 'in the playoff final for sure'. Nice of him to say, I was hoping for top 4 and maybe a euro challenge win.

Tried for an 8, but you don't want Kank
Tried for a 15, but you don't want Kirchner

See my predicament?!?

Got Masi bid considered, so that will sort out my 15, so another bid for an 8 and im there. So if i was to deal, would need to outweigh that. You get me?

Interested in Castro, McCaw and Alba mate

Cheers,

Masi was a bit of a risk, but I thought that with his 6N form, would be a good option, you reckon that he isn't much of an improvement on Kirchner?

Was considering releasing kank next and that would give enough for my 8.

Advice needed please!!

ps. Jenkins bid got rejected, rubbish

If you're happy I'll deal

And I have an extra £2m on my budget mate, had six and paid £4m for Bevington

Okay mate, thats the offer. Domingo, if I had him/got him would be too much.

Okay wasn't sure if I was being sold up the river. Maybe I am anyways :run1:

We'll see, might need a bit more negotiating

Where did we leave off then...

Domingo, Thorn, Brussouw, Roko
=
Ayerza , Alba, McCaw, Turner

I thought Domingo was a step too far, unless I could squeeze in Castro as well for Marconnet? Hence could we swap Thorn for Alba into Palmer for Russouw. Palmer is probably the most in form second row in the world ATM.

Let me know what you think mate

It's only an extra 0.5m mate.

Add it to our deal, and chuck in Castro?

Then an extra £5m when the monthly budgets come in?

Then I'll add*

Well how about add him in and I'll give you all of my monthly bonus?

There's not much gain it in it for me, and I'll still need to release someone else.

Okay take him then mate

Prefer both mine bud.

Yeah deal mate

Not fussed about combo's mate, rather have better players.

See only a tiny gain on Beast/Domingo and rest to you, Read is on a different planet to Spies.

You like these 2 gains to 1 don't you

I see a bigger gap between Servat/Moore and Beast/Domingo so losing there. Bakkies is much better than Thorn, not a fan. Had a great season last year but I've always thought he was overated.

Than Beast/Domingo sorry

Can you PM the league table codes mate with out any data in them?

I know, but Luke and I had negotiated an offer to replace him. But he has gone AWOL. But I will probably end up replacing him mate. Unless you have another idea?

No thanks don't rate roussow enough to do that.

blimey thats a horrifically large tigers badge mate - how disgusting

hope your well bud - looks like Driver might have pursuaded me to take over a team to help out - looking at Northampton I suppose, I might need a bit of time to get back up to speed etc . . .

Steenkamp + Nallet
=
Russouw + Domingo

------

No thanks mate, prefer both of my players. Although Domingo is no1, steenkemp is about 4th and i want to keep him next to BDP for the SA connection.

Can you see any moves in the back row between Tigers and Clermont? I have got a lot a 6s, but no specialist 7 and maybe an 8 would be nice.

Cheers

alright mate
have set a page up = bit confused regarding injuries, do I have a full squad right now with injuries starting after this week or are these guys injured now? if so i need to adjust the team - cheers

yeah great lol that make perfect sense - will change the team listed as bet I can then.

any ideas on any missed monthly bonus cash

lol blast thought there might have been a sneaky bonus in there

ok cool - will see what I can do!

ha thought you knew - have deleted said post to aid offloading lol

am currently trading other players let me get back to you in a bit
cheers

now was it you or pooly that has a soft spot for Elsom????

am willing to deal maybe?

nice claim to fame! like that

mine is my opposite number when I played against some college in Salisbury, i forget which one now, was Richard Hill!!!!

No worries dude, have sorted them out nicely i think, probably to my detriment, as one win and they will be near my Sarries again!

Clermont now have 22 fit players, which is the main thing and no real drop in quality...even managed to pilfer Warburton this morning!

Quite upset that all that hard work has helped out Rowley, he doesn't deserve it and his impatience/naivety got them into that situation! But, having said that, the league will be better off with 12 full time managers and he does generate activity, which is good for the game! I don't think he is glosbear either.

pilfer Warburton . . .. I knew it I knew it!!!!!!

Not saying it was a bad deal, not by a long chalk. But, i was chuffed because Warbs is a big upgrade on Robshaw and at the time, Clermont didn't have a specialist 7, as blogs just kept impulse buying 6s and 8s!
