Marker.

Well played this weekend CJB , had a horrible feeling in my gut that you'd pinch the win.

Hibbard, Healy, Kitch, Whitelock, Pocock, Lobbe, Parra, Wiggles, Hill, JD, North, Hogg

Anything?

No interest in Burrell

What for Burrell, Merrick and Cave mate? And possibly HASKELL?

Escande for Hallan Amos?

No thanks mate. Not sure what you mean with the Amos has youth on his side comment. Escande is 20, and wills till be academy aged next season as well. I'll stick with him mate, not wanting to add anything to it as don't want to be doing big deals at this stage, only minor squad tweaks.

What for Haskell or Shields mate? And what would for them and Burrell as well?

"Tomkins, Mullan, Lahiff, Crane, Visser, McFadden, Smith, LCD, Jackson "

Tomkins would either need Allen or Burrell and good gain
Mullen, probably need Healy involved tbh with EQ back
Lahiff, need EQ somewhere
Crane - Haskell, Kitch, Allen, Burell??
Visser - similar quiality either wing or other position
McFadden - Same again, who've you got?
Smith - Needs World class somewhere in a deal
LCD - I don't have, I have TCD
Jackson - Similar quality or youth

to lose Dickson or Laidlaw I need Parra in the deal somewhere.

Lobbe?

Not sure I see a gain there...

Allen > Tomkins. Something with Burrell perhaps - Rate Tomkins higher than Allen and much higher than Burrell
 
Lahiff what EQ? Rimmer? reeves? Neither of those
 
Smith deal could include Hogg/Davies with a gain elsewhere potentially. I rate Smith as only behind North in wings, true world class.

Ben Smith + Tomkins

JD + Burrell

?

Jackson in deals with Horne/Beck/Biggar? Not really as Jackson is academy aged, would need a good gain on those involving academy, possibly Hill?

Visser and McFadden just suggesting people could be novices in bigger deals maybe.

Interesting in Healy, Hibbard, Kubs, Whitelock, Romano, Kitch, Haskell, Lobbe, Wiggles, Parra, JD, Allen, North, Hogg.

How about McFadden for Henry?[/b]

Mate I'm not sure I follow your logic quibbling about who's younger when they are both so young. Yes Amos is 2 years younger, and therefore two years behind in development and therefore ability to be selected in this game. As I said, no worries, am happy keeping Escande who will get T14 and Heino action this year.

Jackson is a full Int, no comparison to Patchell. How about:

Ben Smith + Tomkins + Jackson + McFadden

JD + Burrell + Patchell + Henry

You get a big gain in Jackson and Henry/McFadden is close but I'm desperate for a 7

Kaino is coming back

http://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/9186701/Jerome-Kaino-poised-to-return-to-NZ-rugby

Where we at?

"I'd need a gain on the Tomkins + Smith deal tbh"

I'm a bit lost, I gave you Jackson for Patchell on top which is a pretty huge gain(2nd best Irish FH for Patchell??) and you you said I'm bigging up Tomkins??

I don't like Tomkins but others rate him highly, he's second choice 13 for England.

I'm pretty sure Ben Smith would improve your line up, he's prob only behind North in wings and can play FB/12/13.

Anyway, shall we start again?

Who've you got avaialble and who are you interested in? I like:

Hibbard, Healy, Kich, Whitelock, Lobbe, Haskell, Pocock, Henry, Kaino, Parra, Wiggles, JD, Burrell, North.

Tompkins would JD involved somewhere, he's my main 13.

I could always bump up the rest of the deal??

1. Have we hit a brick wall with JD then? Taking out Henry maybe??? Thats 2 gains to my one and big gains too.

Ben Smith + Tomkins + Jackson

JD + Burrell + Patchell

2. Suggest something if this isn't a goer.

3. Is there anything with Burrell/Hopper?

4. Anything with any of the other players? (Tomkins needs JD).

Hopper + Thompstone

Burrell + Benjamin

??

If not hit me with something

I'll deal on that, desperate for an EQ 12.

I'll stick on confirms

Helps us both out that one I think, I was a bit unbalanced in midfield.

Shields available?

Can't see anything for Mullen mate

It's a no

sorry mate dont want to break up my french HB's and centre combo

Any interest in...

SOB + Beale
For
Lobbe + Nalaga?

One of England's brightest young stars for free? Not sure id be willing to do that.

Hibbard or Mealamu?

Give me a list, don't want to go crazy with his age but might be able to sort something.

Mullen would be tough unless you added Healy.

Nothing else?

Yea go on then, stick on confirms

Haha...why negotiate when you're happy with a deal.

I've lost squad to improve 1st XV, I needed a top Int hook. You've improved backup, win win deal!

Anything for Pocock?

What for Luke Romano mate?

I'm still keen mate but not looking at adding in the extras you mentioned.

Pocock, Lobbe, FdP?

What for those 2 then?

Don't want to break the JdV/Davies axis up mate

anything for Creevy?

Rees, strauss, eli walker, tagicakibau to name a few. Who u interested in?

SOB + Beale + Bassett
For
Lobbe + Smith

Anything for Ben smith ?

Walker and Rees/Strauss
for
??? and Creevy ?

Who could you add in?

I'd want Ben Smith in a deal.

Pocock, Whitelock, Parra, FdP?

Tomkins + Smith

for

Williams + ???

What for the scrummies then?
