Big, SOB would probably need to be in the deal

SOB + Mermoz for Lobbe + Rougerie?

Heaslip untouchable sorry mate. Despite poolys stupid campaign to bag the guy I think he is top drawer.

With Hari getting older i need to keep heaslip

Trying to keep hold of him mate. Could listen if one of Horwill or Parling could be involved.

You got any fringe guys, or bigger names that you're willing to listen to offers on mate?

He's a bit older thats my main worry, that I'm not so keen on Reddan or Michalak to be honest. And I'm sure guys may rate Mitch down a little due to being in France.

If you dropped Mitch and put one of the other lads in it would be hard to say no then.

I'd be losing my top SH, whereas you have two locks that are both similar in styles and great.

I could throw in Brown, but then that might make the deal too big.

Is Kurtley pushing it? Could be keen to take a risk with him.

No worries.

Parling + ?
For
Brown + Kahn

What you saying?

Is this resurrect-able with Ranger possibly?

Any chance of swapping grant for Robinson?

Can't see Waldlouck starting for me, where Barritt would.

Perhaps Youngs/Webber or Mowen/ R Jones or Mafi?

No worries mate. Let me know

Don't really see anything as don't want BOD cos of his age primarily

Nothing doing for Corbs mate, sorry. I reckon he will nail the Lions test jersey now and be huge for me next season.

JOC is NFS unless I get a Dan Cater esq player back

Horwill and SOB interest me.

No mate, not going to have room for him I don't think.

I'm super tempted by that offer fella. Will get back to you on it.

not really mate no. am ok for opensides.

what for mermoz mate?

Sorry I missed that last time round.

Have you got a list of players that you have available?

Anything for Nathan Hines mate?

Sorry mate, I did miss that offer. Not interested in Mermoz or Charteris to be honest mate. No worries if Hines is not for sale, but let me know if you change your mind and I'll see what sort of offer I can stick together.

I am mate. I want Timani, Hamitlon and another experienced lock as my main 3 locks so I can mix and match them.

Godwin?

Such as?

Wouldn't do that mate, Le roux a way ahead of poit was is past it really. Mermoz is better than Godwin but Godwin can go in academy.

Sorry dude,

I'v had a think and i'm not sure it improves my squad that much if at all.

Let me know if u think of anything else!

Does you signing Evans change your stance on selling me Hines at all mate?

It depended on me getting Tomkins tbh fella.

Interest in Joubert, Monye and Brown.

Quality, good to see him back.

I'm trying to up my English numbers mate so not able to do that deal.

Godwin and Myall
for
Mermoz and Mafi/Burger

??

Jaques Burger for Siviatu?

yachvili available?
and mermoz?

kerr-barlow and lambie interest you?

or just a deal for mermoz?

could include godwin or lambie but lambie would be a bigger deal if your interested.

I'd be interested in Mermoz as well if you could see anything Luke 

Siviatu is yours for £15m if you still want him?

Sorry Luke I'd hazard a guess on current form Eastmond will be rated similar to Mermoz at 12! Although I plan to play him on wing. Also Zebo is a class above Monye. No interest in letting him go.

Sorry mate Hook more useful to me, covering the whole back line basically.

Will take that mate

Could we do something for, Joubert/R Jones/Waldlouck/Mitchell

Anything we could do here mate?

Sorry mate, can not see where I gain in that one.

I could include those boys mate, just didn't see the returning quality as equal.

If you could include one of Louw/SOB/T Youngs/36 I'd consider losing Nonu mate.

Masi or Kahui can leave.

Not interested in Mitchell. May have gear Dagg and folau as back 3 next year

All my players are better and lose out on EQ
