Understand Mate.eq massive but Murray top drawer.

It leaves me tj robson and Genia so during RC I have 1 Sh so nightmare.

My academy is great but is bare Sh wise

So

Narraway, Horne, Medard and Wray for Pisi, Varndell/Tait and ?

Any ideas for the ?

sorry mate Lambie not for sale.

Still really keen on Ryan Grant mate. What can we do for him?

Not fancy our deal anymore?

The only player who I can see that I have who would be a straight swap ability level wise is probably Trimble, but I know you weren't keen on him, so let me know what positions you are looking to strengthen and a few names in my squad who interest you, and lets see if we can build a deal.

What for Brown mate?

Ok, so

Brown & Grant

for

Taute & ???

anything for percival and pisi?

other than Lambie !!

Mate, I am looking at your squad and Wilson would be first choice tighthead for you and is English. Farrell and Corbisiero are not for sale.

If you're not happy with that deal suggest something else to me.

savage and ???
for
percival and varndell / ojo

Are you going to suggest anything else?

Grant would be second choice for me and Crane would be nowhere a start, so I wouldn't lose my 1st/2nd choice tighthead and 1st choice 8 in a deal for them mate.

I get the feeling we are poles apart here.

It would take a better player than Grant for me to sell Vermeulen mate. As I said at the start, I don't think you want any of the players that I would see as a straight swap which was why I suggested it as part of a bigger deal.

Narraway, Horne, Medard and Wray for Pisi, Varndell/Tait and Ryan

No interest in another back row player.

Bradley Davies?

I'd consider that if you did Varndell over Ojo?

Not interested in either of them tbh

sorry mate think I'm gonna keep hold of Savage now.

I'd do Ransom for Ojo though.

Can't really see anything for the FTD as not a huge fan or Brock James or Myler.

A top EQ 2 and 5 are crucial to me mate, so not sure I could include either. No worries.

anything for Dan Tuohy?

Francois Houghard for Dan Bowden?

OLH yours for 2 mil not academy aged next year and can't fit him in my squad. High hopes for him but behind Brown and Chisholm in pecking order.

Can make the Mulipola deal permanent for £6million if you want, a bit on the cheapside and I think £12m less than I bought him for but never mind!

charteris and heathcote could go

interested in tuohy still and pisi, percival, varndell, ojo

Hello mate. Sharples off to falcons at end of season so not available

Don't really want to let savage go in that deal. Other two can though.

Sorry no interest in Hargreaves. Tbh Barritt would not start for me so I will leave it

No I don't think I would mate. Got Kearney at 15 and Marler and Wood key to me.

Could do him in a deal for Fearns which is weighted your way.

Bowden interests me.

Probably do him for Matt Smith if you wanted an EQ.

Yeh potentially

JJ not for sale.

Will think on Bowden for Fearns.

Bowden for Fearns a deal if you want to confirm.

I'd deal on

Percival and Tuohy
for
Heathcote and Charteris

if your still interested?

Are you happy to do Bowden for Fearns?

Percival and Tuohy
for
Heathcote and Charteris

Keen on that still mate?

Bowden + Ojo

for

Fearns + Houghard?

Kahn + ? For FDP + Medard

barritt?

What for Machenaud??

rate KB higher so wouldnt do a straight swap. but would be interested in doing something.

Maybe something like...

Mitchell + Waldouck + Mermoz
for
Slipper + Beck + Brown

Not overly keen. If in lose Parling for Bekker I could be without a 5 basically till Xmas with 4n and AIs.

Am still undecided where to go with my squad next year. Nacewa retiring is a blow, and Brown would be ideal replacement. Would you consider it without Mermoz/Beck.

It'd need to be Mitchell as Ranger part of my centre options too.

I'd need to have a think.

Is Bekker off to Japan?

Walker potentially yeh.
