You see anything else? Can put in De Allende instead?

Probably not much for Fraser, could we do something around Ewers and Burrell?

Fair enough, nope nothing doing for Toby and Read

Can't see anything to be honest mate, maybe look again after we know what injuries we're getting.

Nalaga a different quality and doesn't play internationals

Could only really lose Taylor from that lot mate

I don't think I could bring myself to lose Launchbury mate - can see him going on and becoming the best lock in the world in the next few years.

I'd need a top quality academy for Auterec as he looks the real deal, Waller nfs.

I'd need a big gain elsewhere

Where do you want to build?

He's an EQ starter, would need likewise in return, let me think

can't really let them go unless yeandle was available. Could possibly do something like: Lindsay + Trinder for Yeandle + Lowe (possibly)

Can't see anything mate. Sio I will need in the 6 Nations when I lose Marler and James, and Youngs is coming back to form nicely and gives me depth at 2.

Ruddock and Piutau I'm holding onto, the other 3 could leave, but would need some academy guys back for Conlon and Wilson. Who do you have available?

Not too keen on any of those guys

Jane for Crockett?

Can't see anything for Auterac mate.

Same old players really. Murray, Faletau, Tuip, JOC

Burger/Lopez deal?

Could use Burger to improve me elsewhere, any deals you were thinking?

Yea I think we're struggling of late mate

Like what mate?

Denton + Taylor

Faletau + Flood/Madigan

You would lol

I can't see anything for Auterac or George mate

You don't have to include Flood, Horwill needs Tuip

I don't think I can get them involved mate, I don't think we're getting anywhere

I'm trying but you're asking for players that I'm struggling to get involved.

You haven't got EQ players for Auterac and George (better or worse) so that's tough. I'd include Horwill but need a top lock back i.e Tuip.

Definitely available, needs similar EQ back

Mainly interested in Burrell?

Not massively keen on Flood

Alternatively what about something like

Parling + Jane for Tuipolotu + Strettle

Might struggle then mate, Crockett instead of Tuipolotu?

I'll take that deal

Haha, possibly mate. Separate deal or added on? Same players interest me.

JOC involved?

We'll leave that one then lol

JJ + Madigan
=
Franks + Burger

----

Haha what you been smoking?

Burger + Kahn
For
Nyanga + Murray

Tasty back row...

Post doesn't make sense bud.

Lol you'll have to give up the weed mate

Franks is best Th about right now so struggling tbh.

Back to try again on this one..

Parling + Jane + Allen for

Lavanini + Strettle + Madigan

Who would you be after? Ideally would like to keep it even positionally

Couldn't do any of those mate, Madigan was the only real gain for me on the deal I mentioned earlier, including one of those guys would push it too far to your side for me

I can chuck in Max Evans as a 13/wing if you throw in Lozowski

Parling + Jane + Evans for

Lavanini + Strettle + Madigan + Lozowski

Anything further on this mate? Reckon we're close, keen to get it done!

Not deep enough at flanker to let one go without having someone come back mate, only one I'd be willing to lose is Chris Henry

Could do Anscombe in the original deal instead of Allan, its even positionally and probably a slight edge to you, just am keen on Madigan!

Sorry mate he's my only EQ backrow at the moment and in great form so not looking to loss him.

Kubs, Haskell, Faletau, Tuip?

Bosch, Fekitoa, Guirado, George and Horwill are the only lads that is be interested mate.

Erm......

Horwill + Guirado + Denton

Tui + Cronin + Faletau

??

Hard to get Bosch etc in as I didn't put down a back, would need AAC or Burrell I imagine.

Afraid not mate. Staying put.

Had a rethink on this one, what about

Parling + Jane + Lydiate for

Tuipolotu + Strettle + Madigan?

Fair enough, anything else for Madigan?

Lydiate?

Where are you looking to strengthen?

Haskell and Burrell needed for Kitch

You know what kinda thing is needed for Healy

I wouldn't lose any EQ straight up for Madigan, can't afford to at the moment

JD is my only out and out 13, and wouldn't trade him for Madigan

Am after some props, but struggling at the moment to see how I could make a deal work for any of yours
