Would do him for Tamiau mate?

Vickerman + M Lund
For
Wentzel?

Richie Vernon for Mitchell Tamiau?

Your cash injection is as follows:-

London Wasps - £75 million

Heaslip + ?

Bowden + ?

Could we start there?

Tuohy and Easter?

Is that not what the transfer window is for?

Fair enough. Don't think we are going to get a deal then.

9mil

Going to keep him. No
Chance of
Getting someone as good and in form. I will buy academy talent and keep him

Anything for Mike Brown?

Anything for Mitchell Tamiau mate?

Titterall has joined some welsh rl side as coach mate

Tamati Ellison could be a signing for you mate - covers a lot of positions, could be key for you - sure he plays 12, 13 and 15 - possibly wing too.

If your looking to boost your academy mate I have Simon McIntyre going for straight cash. Think hes in Wasps academy in real life these days

Szarzedki available

Sorry mate only just seen Heaslip enquiry. its the usual suspects really mate as I'm sure your sick of hearing. Roberts or Bowden

Wray's for sale, but needing to find a good no8 replacement first - will PM you some targets!

8 mil cash for szarzedki. Cheap for
An international hooker

Heaslip + Faainga

for

Bowden + Steggman

But Lowe needs a decent EQ back. Would need someone like Brown or Botha I think.

can't afford to lose EQ mate. Did a few deals like that early on but can't afford to anymore.

Lowe needs EQ back as I said mate.

You can get another 12 in the foreigns with your cash and could play Faainga as 12 as he does for the Reds when required.

My intial offer still stands.

Could add in Sam Twomney if that makes it any more appetizing.

Is Bowden available?

I do need a 12, desperately, but I'm not losing EQ as good as Lowe without getting someone EQ back.

Also remember how much better Heaslip is than Stegmann mate. I'm losing out massively there.

Fair enough. You might wanna check with Pete about Bowden becoming EQ as I would have thought he'd have to declare himself for England rather than just be able to.

Not sure how it would work. Can't remember what happened with Morgan.

sounds good to me

I'd need M.Brown in the deal

Can't see anything for McCalman or Johnson mate, and Borthwick I could only do for Botha.

How about a straight Bowden for Heaslip?

But you have 45 mil to spend in the foreigns on a replacement?

Heaslip + Lowe + DOC

for

Tuohy + Bowden + Tamiau

Gives you an enforcer who won't be away during AI's (Tuohy and Botha most likely will be), you get a WC 8 and a very very handy EQ 13 from the AP winners.

Have a think about offers mate am just popping out. Lowe can leave, but I need some sort of EQ back and for it to be an even deal across the board.

Afraid not. You trying to pillage my EQ's haha.

Gaskell really does need Botha.

You can call Bowden an EQ player at the end of next season. But untill then he doesn't come under my EQ quota.

Been having a think. Can only lose Lowe for an EQ of the same quality (EQ at this point in time). Gaskell is the same.

Heaslip and Contepomi

for

Stegmann and Bowden

No I wouldn't im afraid mate

Bowden + Easter

for

Lowe + ?

Pretty set at SH mate, don't really want to sell Faletau

mafi or pisi for evans?

Think we've been here before lol

Sorry mate, still need similar quality English back

Fasivalu and Payne for Robinson

Actually reduce that offer fasivalu would start for you. Let me know what you want

Lowe for Bowden remains on the table.

Fearns NFS

Brock + Crane
For
Bowden

nieto, mafi, pisi ??

sorry mate cant see anything for them

Mike Brown
