Robson
Alberts
Hari
Lapandry
Genia
Carter
May
Barnes
Jdj/Kahui
Sharples
Dagg
Murphy/steenkamp
Strauss
Harden
Palmer
Ferris
Robson
Balshaw
Mills/ gear/lamb

Bench may change a little with lamb instead of mills but 90-95% right I reckon

Expect Domingo to start for France forrestier and debaty were crucified today at scrum time.

Don't think he was involved too much...number 8 i think

Ignore that he was 7....i'm screwed!!

Make an offer for those Worcester players and we'll see where we get to mate.

Interested in Danny Hobbs

What for Liam Messam?

Youngs never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever for sale.

Can I loan hey wood for a few weeks. ?

Could loan you De Kock if I could have a 2nd row on loan?

Could loan you Connor Murray or tj perenara ! Haywood after LV would be great as he is academy and I need a hooker on the bench for
When I play Quins

If I get Pyle on loan then you can have de kock?

Sorry fella...I meant that if Steve loaned me Pyle then I could afford to give you De Kock!!

No worries man, still interested in Danny Hobbs

It maybe tj perenara who you loan instead of Murray. Rumours on rugby heaven that Genia not fit for a few weeks.
Perenara best 9 in nz apparently and seen as a future legend. I need to see more as he got injured last year.
I will be flexible with it as i prefer tj to Murray but Murray had great 6n. If Genia fit will send Murray to you. We have a couple of weeks as its LV again next week so will know more

Beck and Lydiate for McCalman and Rougerie

I'm rolling with laughter here....only because you think that has any affect on today! England under 20's are the better side anyway, a lot of the welsh side are part time!

I am buzzing for later, hitting town around 1!!

Any chance of James Craig on loan

PR Logovi'i Mulipola (Samoa)
CE Ashley Beck (Wales)
WG Chris Ashton (E) EPS

As well As Billy V, and Ford have my interest.

Horwill + Joubert
for
Launchbury + Parisse

End of season?

If you ever have the crazy notion of selling parisse I would defo be in for him

Was wondering whether you'd be resting players for the HC that you were targeting.

Have some of my academy available too.

PR Logovi'i Mulipola (Samoa) (3) on loan to Wasps
LK Patricio Albacete (Argentina)
OS Julian Salvi (Australia)
CE Ashley Beck (Wales)
FL Ben Nutley (E) - 07/04/1992

As well as; Lydiate, Craig, Messam and Ashton

All have my interest, and I could have Wenztel, Botha, Bowden/Pisi available in the right offer.

Sam Jones for Ben Nutley?

They are both academy aged next season. After 1 Sept 1991 I believe.

But as we stand their is no junior academy and anyone not in your 20 man limit (I've suggested it's pushed to 25) is free for all. So if you didn't include yur under 18's I am allowed to bid on them.

Regards to Mulipola, I'm looking towards the foreigns to spend my cash, don't really have the money to throw away in domestics - so would have to be a swap.

What for salvi mate?

Anything in this potential deal for you.

Roberts + ?

for

Fofana + ?

Looking at

1 wood
2 grey/Buchanan

8 Heaslip
9 Robson
10 Carter
11 may
12 Barnes

14 gear
15 Dagg/ Folau

Weather dependent may also bring in Hari or Genia

That really is a tempter

A year ago I would have said yes but with starting limit down to 4, I don't think it improves my lineup so I'm going to say no.

Any chance of Taofifenua on loan

It is aha

Alright mate what you looking at for TPN?

TPN?

Messam and Ashton?

Interested in Messam mate.

Giteau of or bienvenutti ?
