Deal 11m

If you want a backup hook TPN/Fainga'a are available..

Smith + McCalman + Corbs + Mermoz + Manu
=
SOB + Hari + Tonga + Traille/Roberts + Rougerie


Anything in this mate?

Interested in Shane

Servat, Mas, Hari, Brussow
=
Moore, Marconnet, Parisse, Pocock

enq.

No worries.

Shane for Habana?

^^

Very interested in Servat and Mas now mate. Can we sort something?

Servat + Mas + Hari
=
Parrise + Marconnet + BdP

is the obvious offer, wouldn't be sure though. Let me know your initial thoughts.

Mate,

BdP > Servat
Mas < Marconnet
Parrise > Hari

Hari is in dire form. Appreciate the gap is bigger for Mas and Marconnet but Marconnet won't exactly be a weakness. Do you prefer Alexander?

OK, would this interest you:

Servat + Mas + Medard + Qera
=
Beale + Marconnet + BdP + Higginbotham

enq.

Rougerie + Tonga + Donnelly + SOB + Brussow + Poit
=
Manu + Corbs + Pierre + Smith + Dus + Nacewa

Enq

Which one is that?!

Corbs + Russouw + Nacewa + Weepu
=
Tonga'uhia + Donnelly/Pape + Poit + Yach

Well was interested in getting Tonga back

Prefer my two in that deal sorry.

Nah I reckon Mas is far better. But the gap between the two isn't as great as Roberts and Barnes. Barnes is my creative player if Carter is injured, as Slade is pretty average at the top level. Roberts isn't really any use to me with Nonu there.

Kaino + Cowan + Manu
=
SOB + Yach + Rougerie

Don't worry mate. Anything i can do for the following?barcella/Tonga/Donnelly/Roberts/Rougerie/Nalaga/Poit

Hook
=
Rougerie

Enq

Fourie + Hook + Kaino + McCalman
=
Rougerie + T-D + SOB + Hari

Enq

What for SOB mate?

Barcella + Servat + Mas + Fourie + Bonnaire
=
Domingo + BdP + Marconnet + AAC + Vito

enq.

Really? Be interested to see how you rate those, as we seem way off!

Oh right, I think Du Plessis, Franks and Smith are the best in the world. And I thought

Bdp >= servat
Domingo >= barcella
Marconnet <(<) Mas
AAC >= Fourie (versatility)
Vito > bonnaire.

But no worries
