Got some Bath players up for grabs, just let me know where you are looking to improve, cheers

Henry Thomas & Brady mate?

Good to get you back involved mate, any probs give me a PM.

Schofield, Myall, Gaskell all interest me!

Hi Ollie,

When your naming your team and tactics for the week on match threads can you use the formatting below. Makes it easier to update match threads and there is a fine if you dont use it as far as I know. Hit quote on this comment and you will see the coding behind it

Tactics

---

Thomas + Brady

For Matt Tait

??

What for Brady mate?

Ok mate, I'll be back with an offer tomorrow i reckon, some of those you listed are up for grabs, I'm after a lock and miller mainly from you i reckon.

Don't see much gain in that for me mate, I'd struggle to replave either for 20m tbh, esp Castro.

Tait is a gamble but on his way back and covers 13/14/15, Tigers will bring out the best in him I hope!

Theres a good rugby knowledge on here tbh but the top Ints prob rate a little higher.

Julian White + 1.5m and 2m next week for Thomas?

Gives you a solid scruammge option and a little more cash?

No probs mate, quite keen on Thomas so if you see anything else give me a shout

Just a note on English players....they're a little more valuable than foreign players as you need to have 4 starting and 8 in the squad.

This may go up next season so kepping a decent English core is key

Shall we smash out a deal..

Thomas + Miller

Geordan Murphy + Julian White

Can tweak a little maybe

what for auva'a

How about

Wilson
4
Miller + Gaskell

How about wilson for one of Gaskell or Miller then?

Can't see anything in it for me mate, sorry.

Thomas & Miller??

Alright Ollie would you do something along the lines of Artemiev and Tonks for Brady and Miller? Strengthen you on the wing and give me a good FB to back up Foden.

See anything for Thomas and Miller?

Sorry mate apart from getting Miller (who would only be 2nd choice to Foden) I cant see any gain for me from that at all

Done lol, fair enough fella

Could do Crane & few others for cash

Make me an offer

Fair offer mate as always, not too far from what I was thinking. Make it 17 and you have a deal

I'd forgot how tight you were!

As a good will gesture....deal.

Stick on confirms mate

What for Vernon mate?

Not keen to lose any of them at the moment mate. Will probably be looking to loan out one of Myler/Lamb as soon as the 6 nations are finished though to raise a bit of extra cash if you want to come back then

what for rob miller?

I won't be doing any pulling apart of tactics mate, be just a simple game plan with a few points

Only gain with Cueto there lose out majorly everywhere else, long way away from a deal tbh

Hello mate

Barritt + Smit
For
Fourie + Jones?

Hmm. Couldn't do it with the Short/Amesbury bit. Spencer is in great form and looks a top SH. In the mould of the frenchies which I like (have parra In this game and Yach i the other)

Would do it without the wingers I think, not 100% though.

Losing a brilliant young, English prop needs a lot of tempting. Still not enough

Mullan + Hopper
4
Gaskell +Imiolek + Cueto

After a gruelling first AP game your squad has picked up the following injuries:

Week highlighted is the week they become available.

Week 7 - Alister Dickinson
Week 8 - Lee Imoleik
Week 9 - Rob Miller
Week 10 - Andy Powell
Week 11 - Marc Cueto

You see anything for J.Fourie without Manu?

I'd say Mullan was the star of the lot

Mullan > Cueto > Gaskell > Hopper > Imiolek personally

You getting nervous Oll? Lol

Will be basically a name switch with the chance to bring over new teams players into your squad.

Just the players with a * really, tough without Manu I know but he's one of my untouchables.

Fair offer mate but a little more than I wanted to lose..

Fourie + Imolek

36 + Ayerza

Enq

Hi mate, I do rate Losi > Cueto, so would need something coming my way.

Peel/Wilko/Davit available?

hello mate, what for miller, fourie, au'va?

Could potentially do:

Cueto, Wilko, H.Fourie and Buckley
for
Losi, Bowden, and 3 from the following:

Kieren Low (LK) [ENG]
Ben Pritchard (FL) [ENG]
Ed Shiggery (FL) [WAL]
David Sisi (N8) [ENG]
Freddie Clarke (N8) [ENG]
Jack Moates (SH) [ENG]
Anthony Watson (WG) [ENG]

36 for Fourie?

Hi mate, not looking at selling either of BdP of Horwell as they are the cornerstone of my pack.

Lol....I saw it. Agree about 36/Fourie gap.

My opinion on Farrell is probably best kept to myself though, don't want to upset Luke.

Hmmm.

Massive offer.

I'm not sure. I like a 12 that plays like a second 10 and Farrell is the one everyone's talking about at the minute. But Fourie is a top player. Let me mull it over?

The thing is that takes away your best academy talent, which makes it an even bigger risk, as non of the above have made it in any sort of way. So ideally i'd like Gray coming my way and then 2 more academy players.


Cueto, Wilko, H.Fourie, Mathie and Buckley
for
Losi, Bowden, Gray, Allinson and 2 academy players (Sisi and Watson)

===

I'm not keen on the Mathie/Allinson bit.

Who is it a risk for - you or me?
