Flip is my main line out leader, would struggle to get him involved.

No probs

Not a huge fan of that compared to last similar offer. Smith is the form back in the world alongside Halfpenny so not feeling it without another gain elsewhere. A lot more risk on my part

Still looking for similar

SOB, Taofifuena, Lambie, Fotuali'i interest me

JMF, Parra, Charteris and Beck for Fotuali'i, SOB, Taofifuena and Lambie
Interest?

Not sure who I can use instead of Beck. Suggestions?

I'm Willing to change it up as I'm not playing for much this season

Dunno if those are a bit too much for me. Will also have a think. May possibly come back with something different if I see it

http://www.espn.co.uk/six-nations-2014/rugby/story/211485.html

Good news for you Luke.

Don't think it's enough to lose one of best scrum halfs in world

Sorry didn't see that.

Would be interested. Could give you Charteris back as you were interested but see that as a gain to you so I'd need something back

Anything for Pohe?

Don't think I will mate if you don't

I'm not going to lie , I'm tempted by it. I'm holding out on Best to see how he gets through the 6Ns.

I'll sell you Ranger for £20m

Yeah I'd do that for Sivi.

Pape, Brown?

No mate, no worries

I wouldn't expect you to, JD nfs

Hey chap, I'm CJ the incoming Worcester manager. Got my squad page as it stands up, here are some players of yours I'm interested in:

Big name: SOB, Louw, Pape, Lambie
Other: Jacques Burger, Hines, Mike Brown, Speight, Monye, Ranger
Academy: Thacker, Price, Wells, Jordaan

Get back to me if you see any deals on the cards

Bast is probably bigger than Ellison right now and Cueto and Monye are fairly comparable except Cueto is scoring more, so can't do that thanks!

Brown for Bast? Or Pape?

Not really, but everyone has their price.   

Would need EQ back, in a position I am light of it, so from your squad, would have to involve Tom Youngs!

See that as the only gain for me being an old Jenkins for Slipper

Need SOB realistically in deal for Lobbe

Still don't think it's close. I'd be having a long hard think over Jenkins for Slipper whereas Nalaga for Mitchell is a huge no. Don't think they are close really

Sorry mate, but can't see where I gain there.

I lose out in quality completely and with Sheridan still injured I can't see anything, unless you were to offer for some other players.

Don't think so. Not in desperate need of the EQ there either, unless you have another offer.

Waiting to see how he goes over the next few weeks before considering any deal for Steyn mate  

Speight?

Hi mate.

JdP + ?

Cencus + Moore/Horwill/Pape/SOB/Louw

?

I don't think I could mate

Not sold on that one buddy.

SOB, Louw, Horwill, Beale, Brown and Ranger, are of interest.

Sorry mate wouldn't be looking to sell Deveto at all, think he will be an England international - did you watch the rugby club, as have had a few people asking about him today and guessed it might have something to do with that.

Definitely has a lot of potential, didn't realise he was so tall and if they are saying that the plans are to bulk him up by another stone once the season is over it could make a big difference. Not sure how the Burgess signing will impact him though, as can'tpay that much and not play him!

Brown in a deal?

AAC + ???

for

Brown

What for T Youngs mate?

beale or Lambie instead of Brock? unless you want to add a little more to flesh it out?

Not too keen on losing Beast

What for Tom Youngs , Dan Cole , SOB and Kurtley?

Need similar level EQ back mate, or world class foreign, so would need to be one of...

Stephen Moore
Tom Youngs
Dan Cole
Sean O'Brien
Francois Louw
Billy Twelvetrees
Kurtley beale
Mike Brown

Tempted by that. Very.

Feck it, let's do it. You want to do it for now or the end of the season? I'm happy with either.

Let's get it confirmed for the end of the season then mate.

Ashley Beck and Darren Cave for Javiah Pove and Tamati Ellison

You good to confirm our deal mate?

Read is NFS , best player in the world for me mate.

Kolbe
Pohe
Maka
Thacker
Sivi
Beale
Lambie
Kahn
Sob

Can't see Parra moving at the moment unless its a big offer

I'v got zero interest in Jenkins , He's past it big time for me.

I'd want Stephen Moore in a deal.
