The replacement player is at your club till the injured player he replaced is available.

This has cheered me up! Good work Pooly

Example:

Bath require joker for Tommy Bowe:

Habana - 10m
Clerc - 8m
Trimble - 6m

I like it a lot! Only a loan until end of injuries though?

Yea just a loan

Do we get to state the player we would like a joker for?

This is a great way to freshen it up, as well as use up some cash. Well done Pooly lad

No mate

huh? thats not realistic, will all three options be players for the same position then?

They will at varying levels/prices.

It is a bit realistic as in theory you couldn't just pick a player as most wouldn't be available.

You put up your injured player and I'll give you 3 options at different values.

Can you see your options for more then 1 player? Say I want to see my options for Sexton & JP?

Sorry mate, I thought you meant could you pick who you would like as a joker.

You do get to state the player from your injured list who you'd like to be replaced

No mate, you only get one shot.

If you put in Sexton I'll give you 3 options, if you don't want to go with any of them that's your 1 shot gone.

Ok cheers mate

Oh, cool, that's better then. Great idea. Mine is probably going to be covering Parra!

Stick them in and I'll start giving options (can't play this weekend though)

Parra

CJ your options for replacing Morgan Parra are:

Mike Phillips - 10m
Julien Dupuy - 7m
Tawera Kerr-Barlow - 6m

THanks, I'll think about them

Ah, this makes sense.

Just out of interest, are people going to mark the jokers down if they play because they are fresh to the team etc.

I might do, but should be okay in positions that people can slide in to like lock, unlike hooker or scrum half.

Think I'm going to pass on a joker, I can cope without Pienaar for two games I think.

lock? i've been marked down for a lock loan signing in the past.

I'm looking at lock or 10 12, so would be interested to hear what people think

Depends if lineout lock Bathite, takes time to learn calls etc

I'd mark down if thrown straight in the 1st week like any new signing but I'd let it off after that

True Pooly. But i've got Muller running the show, so I'd be looking for more of a bruiser

Not so much of a problem for me that. Still takes a bit of time to bed in but at first week is about at 80% etc.

If we don't want to use the medical joker this time, does it carry over for the next set of injuries?

Cool beans, still unsure of which position i need, 4 or 10,

Bath request joker for Dave Attwood

Bathite your options for replacing Attwood are:

Bradley Davies - 10m
Luke Romano - 9m
Flip van der Merwe - 7m

Thanks. Was tempted with Romano as my next foreign, so might be on a 'try before you buy' basis. I'll have a think

Tindall

Prop your options for replacing Tindall are:

BOD - 10m
JDJ - 8m
Rob Horne - 6m

I'll take Horne....does he come this week (as in not applicable to play but can train?)

You can take now mate but not available this weekend

Gloucester sign Rob Horne - 6M

Dupuy for me. Should fit into the gameplan

Interested to see what you'd say on this one; Will Welch

Are there any 7s out there?

Ouedraogo maybe, Zanni, Rennie?

In theory a medical Joker is usually a like replacement lol....

Saracens sign Julien Dupuy - 7m

I understand he can't play this weekend but just wodnering training wise as to whether he'll have practically 2 full weeks before next game so will know the moves.

Welch is at Rennie's level, isn't he? Aren't all Newcastle's backrowers world class?!

Do you want to use Welch Flux?

I can't give you a top class 7 for him tbh

Can I have Flip van der Merwe please

Bath sign Flip van der Merwe - 7m

I'll leave Welch. Does the loan last for as long as that injured player is out?

It does mate yea.

I can give a non Int/few caps for him if you change your mind

Nah, might just save my cash for the foreigns.

Might as well have a look, Kitch

For replacing Kitchener:

Tom Donnolly - 7m
Craig Clarke - 6m
Devin Toner - 5m
