I meant lose out in quality of EQ

Interested in mermoz and yachvili

Who u interested in?

Ok mate well let me know

Just going to do some more digging in to romain he is a big lump but seems to have fallen behind. Interested but just doing some checking

how we looking mate? you just waiting on matt to make a decision on the masi deal?

I will pass on romain. Got Alberts who can play 4 to international level so will keep masi

Involve godwin or casson ?

or you just buy a centre in foreigns!

its tempting but both of my other FH's arent great goal kickers which was why I wanted Yachvili, so he could be my goal kicker.

so cant really just do mermoz, need the pair.

anything else you can see to persuade you?

I want yach!!

No worries if u cant see anything pal but let me know if u change your mind before i do a deal with lambie with someone else

Yeh they did but im sure fotuali'i and lambie/wilko could do similar!

Who else u interested in. Il listen to most.

Il add in bj botha

Oh i see m botha for myall?

Brock holds no interest sorry

Id probably deal on that

Beck the better player IMO and James would be third choice behind someone who doesn't get called up and Biggar so very unlikely to ever get a game whereas Beck will be handy

Masi for Ian Evans ?

Sorry mate no interest at all in that. Picamoles is world class and needs world class back in any deal while not keen to lose Eastmond with his rating going up all the time these days

Players of yours I'd consider world class are SOB, Cole & Beale. Any deal for Pickles will defo need SOB in as he would leave a hole in my back row

Missed Horwill off that list 

Maybe some thing like;

Youngs + R Jones
=
Webber + Ranger

Anything for Waldlouck, Mitchell, Clerc or R Jones buddy?

Probably wouldnt sell Giteau, he's playing really well for Toulon at the moment and is available all year round.

You got any thoughts to an offer? Both could leave.

I can confirm Sarries will not be top 4 this season lol

Where to start...

Cole, Youngs, 36, Brown, Louw

I'd be in for 36, Mitchell and Clerc

Haskell and Hibbard for Youngs and SOB

sorry neither are for sale im afraid

Can I do anything here mate?

Sorry mate , Read is best player in world for me and not as convinced with Beale as others.

Throw in Josh Bassett and you have yourself a deal

*gulp*
Have a feeling I may end up regretting this one!

Only player I could give in return would be Ben Mosses

Have we given up on this deal?

Anything for:

Cencus, Pape, Horwill, SOB, Louw??

Cheers bud. I figured it would be close, and to be fair it is and it's not done yet, a couple of predos your way and things could change. Whoever wins this league this year will really have earned it as there are a lot of strong teams now.

Afraid I can't deal then mate. Giving up a bit too much imo

Sorry mate, no chance, looks like the kid is going to be a star.

WHo have you got available - if I'm honest I am looking to probably shift a few others before him, but could be a deal onhim.

I'd need a 13 in a deal for AAC

What for Mike Brown mate?

Anything for Waldouck?

No idea mate, not sure how good he is anymore. Are there a list of players you like from my team?

Would need Evans or Horwill involved.

Would need a top 13 option back mate

sorry mate, but can't see myself losing Parisse while I am in this game, one of my favourite players.

Anything for SOB or Louw?

Chiliboy available??

Hines?
