What for Kelleher?

Alright man

the

Phillips + Sheridan + Kankowski

for

Dowson + Contepomi + Kellaher + Kearney

deal is still on if your happy with it if Nick confirms my deal with him for Woodcock.

Just keeping you in the loop

Launchbury for Green is a deal mate

Alright mate, good deal we did there! Would you do Benn Robinson for Matt Stevens?

What would the offer be with regards to peel then?

Fancy a deal for Attwood Chris? Maybe include Bowe in something bigger.

Robshaw + Kruger + Domingo

Dowson + Attwood + Barcella

Enq

Make an offer mate, most available. Don't rate Phillips at all, he lost his place in the O's team near the end of the season. Move away might help him

I see you are well stocked for N8's but not so well stocked at hooker. Qhat do you reckon to Matthew Rees for Ryan Kankowski?

Anything for Callum Clarke?

What for jdv

What for jdv

Thought he be handy in the wc :L

Clark 4 Percival + Mercer/Ovens

I'm sure you would mate, but not after swapping an 8 and certainly not JVN

I'm really only interested in Wilson from that list mate

Nope sorry! He's hopefully going to be my mainstay when others are @ w.c!

Any chance of Domingo + Sheridan in a deal involving Golding

2m for Cau Cau....get the pie monster back up North!

Not interested in Wilson mate, sorry. What for Laulala and Watson?

How about James Phillips + Shane Gereghty + Dave Wilson for Matfield + Lemi

He's still a bit of a liability in defence but looking slightly better lol

What do you want for Domingo?

I wouldn't offer anything stupid as his injury is pretty serious. Saying that they reckon he's still 50/50 for WC.

No mate, not looking to go over the top for Watson.

Any chance of Domingo + Sheridan in a deal involving Golding

Knee injury.

Only reason I want him is all of my front rowers are small as is Domingo. I actually rate Barcella higher as he's a destructive scrummager but he's quite tall.

I thought he'd suit your front row better as Hayman, Webber, Hartley are all big guys.

No probs if not.

I'd probably swap Chambers for Watson.

Wouldn't do two top young English players who will start during the World Cup for a foreign squad player.

I'm more interested in Hamilton to be honest. How much cash for him?

SJE is a oh dear for starting bidding wars for Championship players.

Burgess is a talent. Another season in the Championship and his will get his way into AP. Perhaps with a few sevens caps in between. Halavatau could be great. Only recently converted to TH from the Back row. Worth the 2 mil gamble

How can you not rate Scott Hamilton ??
Pure player. Understands the game and so consistent. Every year he delivers.

After Ashton and sivi ( never rated him but lots do) he would stroll into your side. Seen savea this year?? Apparently lacks appetite for training and has discipline issues. Bloody islanders he is such a freak

Hi mate, sorry I meant to post the Hamilton thing on Mat's page! Sorry if I confused you there. Not really interested in the deal you suggested and not that fussed about Ben Jacobs! I'm really interested in Dave Attwood and Manu.

Yeah I know I came asking about him but I wasn't looking to sacrifice that much for him, he's a pretty average player, only really wanted him as back up.

He did have a good few seasons, however he's playing league 2 in South Africa and no one will hear anything of him mate.

2m for Watson and you can have Hooper

what for wilson?

wana keep tait, reckon moving to tigers will help him and he's a good bench option as he covers so many positions.

Couldn't lose the future England No8 for somebody playing SA 2nd division mate

Not sure, not alot. Just thought 2m was 0.5m more than you'd get to release. I thought he was semi retiring.

name a few youre interested in and we'll see

also interested in geraghty if u could put him and wilson in a deal

botes
stowers
hala'ufia
andy powell
james
mapusua
bastereaud
kirchner

thinking about it not after geraghty.
just wilson. want to keep tait though. any other ideas?

He's not too bad, is that in a deal involving him and peel?

WOuld you offer anything else on top?

Good offer but I have no interest in Dan Caprice, Chris Lewis-Pratt and Matias Aguero at all. Also it would have to be a better offer to get Clegg off me, the boys abit special!

Interested in Kankowski, would you do him as a straight swap for 36?

Mullan not available mate, think he will really kick on this year.

I'll leave it then mate, I have an offer on the table of £24 million for 36 and I can use that to get a player of the same or better standard than Kankowski.

Can't let Robinson go sorry, hoping he doesn't go to the w.c for this game, even though he should!!

No mater I wouldn't. A appreciate that Kankowski is an international, but he doesn't seem that highly rated in this game, and the fact the 36 is English and will be available during the WC balances it out for me.
