No thanks, how many more times are you going to make that offer? lol

by Fluxy Thu 08 Dec 2011, 4:24 pm

Don't really gain anything out of it though.

by Driver Thu 08 Dec 2011, 5:00 pm

Could add Freun and Fourie?

by Fluxy Thu 08 Dec 2011, 5:10 pm

AAC + Rougerie + Hari + Thion
=
Parisse + Medard + Fourie + Alba

Perhaps?

by Fluxy Thu 08 Dec 2011, 5:46 pm

AAC + Rougerie + Hari + Thion + Marconnet
=
Parisse + Medard + Fourie + Alba + Mujati

Enq?

by CJB Thu 08 Dec 2011, 8:05 pm

Mooj is only good cos of Tonga IMO

by Fluxy Sun 11 Dec 2011, 12:21 am

Up for a deal mate?

by Fluxy Sun 11 Dec 2011, 12:29 am

AAC + Rougerie + Hari
=
Parisse + Medard + Fourie

by CJB Sun 11 Dec 2011, 11:47 am

Mitchell > Ashton

Mitchell for me is in the top tier of wingers whereas Ashton isnt

by CJB Sun 11 Dec 2011, 4:05 pm

Mitchell, Beale, Turner clearly the way to go Wink

I just saw Mitchell as the best winger in the world before his injury so can't drop him that far down, Turner isn't as good as Ioane/Mitchell yet

by Driver Sun 11 Dec 2011, 5:45 pm

Ioane + SBW + Rees

for

Ashton + Mermoz + Hartley

by Driver Sun 11 Dec 2011, 5:48 pm

JOC availible ?

by Driver Sun 11 Dec 2011, 5:57 pm

Not really sure. I've just got a decent midfield combo and would be breaking that up. Could you include Maitland/Crockett?

I could get Crockett and Maitland involved but would want more than Mercy or Rihana involved

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 12 Dec 2011, 9:35 am

Castres bid 16m for Bruce Reihana

Accept or reject on foreign page by 13/12/11 (remember to confirm)

by Fluxy Mon 12 Dec 2011, 2:23 pm

I would be keen if you are...

by Driver Mon 12 Dec 2011, 3:06 pm

What for Parra?

by Driver Mon 12 Dec 2011, 4:00 pm

Not as much as i was. But if he becomes availible

by Fluxy Mon 12 Dec 2011, 9:44 pm

Smith + Alba + JOC + Ashton + Parra + Poux
=
Croft + Horwill + Bowe + North + Fotuali'i+ Barcella

Enq

by Fluxy Mon 12 Dec 2011, 10:40 pm

I was happy with;

Alba + Smith
=
Horwill + Croft

Why does no one like the big deals anymore, that is where all the fun is!

by Bathite Tue 13 Dec 2011, 10:31 am

I'd do it without Ashton/Jane bit. Think the gaps between the other 2 pairs are bang on even.

by Fluxy Tue 13 Dec 2011, 10:32 am

What for Parra?

by Bathite Tue 13 Dec 2011, 10:51 am

Am i missing out now?

by Bathite Tue 13 Dec 2011, 11:02 am

Cooper > Evans
Parra > Weepu
Jane > Ashton

Don't see it any other way. And on top of that, I lose a Hurricanes NZ connection and you gain the best half back combo in the game. I'm not a fan of Ashton without Foden

by Fluxy Tue 13 Dec 2011, 11:22 am

I can't lose two locks and an openside just to gain at scrumhalf.

Albacete + J Smith + Parra + Ashton
=
Horwill + Croft + Thion + North

Enq

by Fluxy Tue 13 Dec 2011, 11:31 am

Okay would you be able to do your original offer without me losing Thion then? So it would be;

Albacete + J Smith + Parra + Wood
=
Horwill + Croft + Warburton

?

by Bathite Tue 13 Dec 2011, 11:40 am

Ok, well you made the original offer mate! Can't really help you at 3, but seems old Fluxypants has ambushed me anyway. If you look at my offer, i gain at 9, lose at 10, so no real point for me. There is a point for you as you get Genia Cooper, but Jane as well is pushing it!

by Fluxy Tue 13 Dec 2011, 12:14 pm

Old fluxypants, thats eloquent!

Sorry Pull but I can't lose Warbs and Franks. I'm willing to lose Warbs however, so how about;

Croft + Warbs + Horwill + Thion
=
J Smith + Wood + Alba + Parra

by LukeLovesLuka Tue 13 Dec 2011, 1:25 pm

Couldn't lose him for Wood mate sorry.

Moore + Marconnet
=
Mujati + Hartley

Could do this?

by Bathite Tue 13 Dec 2011, 4:58 pm

Kaino-Vito-Wood wouldn't have the right balance, sorry. With Kaino at 6, I want a proper poacher at 7, not a 6.5, a very good 6.5 nonetheless

by CJB Tue 13 Dec 2011, 9:45 pm

Losing twice to gain once

by Fluxy Tue 13 Dec 2011, 10:33 pm

Yeah can do.

by Fluxy Wed 14 Dec 2011, 4:23 pm

Would love to get Parra involved if you're thinking of something.

by Fluxy Wed 14 Dec 2011, 5:08 pm

Barcella for Poux, or Mealamu for Moore?

by Steven_Sharks Thu 15 Dec 2011, 11:18 am

Let me have a little think on it mate

by Fluxy Thu 15 Dec 2011, 5:03 pm

Parisse + Fotuali'i + Barcella
=
Hari + Parra + Poux

Enq

by Fluxy Thu 15 Dec 2011, 8:00 pm

Don't want to lose Franks

by Fluxy Fri 16 Dec 2011, 10:26 am

I'll deal on that if you want, but I'm pretty sure Poux is a LH not a TH.

by Fluxy Fri 16 Dec 2011, 11:05 am

Alright but in my opinion I wouldn't reccomend it

by Fluxy Fri 16 Dec 2011, 8:27 pm

Parisse + Fotuali'i + Barcella + Mealamu
=
Hari + Parra + Poux + Moore

Enq

by Fluxy Mon 19 Dec 2011, 10:40 pm

by Driver Mon 02 Jan 2012, 2:07 pm

Can't really see a deal mate

by Driver Tue 03 Jan 2012, 11:48 pm

Let's talk Palmer and Horwill

by Driver Sun 08 Jan 2012, 7:37 pm

Interested in Brad Thorn?

by Driver Sun 08 Jan 2012, 7:45 pm

Deal!

by Bathite Sun 08 Jan 2012, 9:40 pm

JOC + Parra
4
Cooper + Halfpenny

Sorts out our injuries, gives you Genia/Cooper axis?

by Fluxy Sun 08 Jan 2012, 10:19 pm

J Smith + Pienaar
=
Ferris + Parra

by Fluxy Sun 08 Jan 2012, 10:35 pm

Your not throwing my any bones are you!?

lol

by CJB Sun 08 Jan 2012, 11:26 pm

No real interest in that tbh

by LukeLovesLuka Mon 09 Jan 2012, 12:14 pm
