AWJ & Delon

For

Parling & SBW

Always difficult to agree on valuations.  No worries.

You interested in buying Rhaymond Rhule ?

Not sure he is one of 3 I may release but I know you are a fan

I will pass probably release someone else to be fair as he is only 22

Found this and thought of you http://www.rugbyworld.com/countries/new-zealand-countries/ardie-savea-the-red-hot-hurricane-omitted-by-the-all-blacks-46406 lol

Rhule can go for 5m if interested? If not will be releasing Dickinson

Could we get Parling involved?

Shields then?

Not entirely sure, would be keen to add him as I need an extra number in the back row. Is Mermoz available?

unsure on your offer bud!

Not looking to get rid of any of those unfortunately as need to keep the good SH players I have as get a little short of players come 6Nations time. Also keeping Deveto, but may come available later in the year due to needing to find space for him next season in full squad.

Your team is looking v good for next season, made some very good deals and signings. Good to see Matu'u back in the league as well - that boy certainly knows how to tackle!

Of that list, only Habana is available mate. Could do him for SBW.

Fair enough. Looks like we're struggling again then.

Brussow?

Gear & Tui can leave in the right deal mate.

Brussow, Auterac, Davies, Horwill, Shields & Denton

all of interest mate

I would struggle losing the 'star' players, unless there was a decent return (eg 2 for 1)

Thinking:

Auterac + Tui + Gear + Haskell
=
Franks + Shields/Brussow + Horwill + Denton

?

I was just saying that the likes of Healy, Armitage/Nonu would need 2 of your lads as you are not as likely to part with your bigger names!

Need a starter back for Messam
Wiggles unlikely to sell
Other two would be Hougaard and a gain elsewhere for me?

Cole, Skelton, Ioane, Hughes, Barrett, Lambie, Smith and Hogg

Not sure on TKB what to offer

Not too interested in your offer for Steffon mate. Was keen on my original offer, but I understand you'd be short of an 8. I would say just swap him out for Shields but feel like I;m losing a little bit, anything you could include maybe?

I've got two gains their so would need something subatansial

I am suggesting that which means we are going to struggle

I gave a list of players I would be interested in in said deal

Not keen on losing either, but if you can see something involving Ioane I'd be interested

No worries bud, thought it was a long shot!

What sort of side you going with this week mate? Full, WC, 6N, mixture? I'll go similar otherwise neither of us are going to learn much about our teams.

What kind of side are you thinking for this week? Thinking of putting out as many EQ options as I can to try and figure out my best, would that suit?

If not, let me know and I'll go with whatever you fancy

Cool, works for me

Would depend on who you'd want really as I'm not looking to lose any of my big players as pretty happy with the squad - just need to balance it out a bit more.

Probably easier if you let me know who you are after as not sure which of my players you rate or would like to be part of a deal.

Hey mate Van Der Westhuizen available for the world cup period if your still looking. Moli will probably be sitting on my bench! Put it up on domestics and I'll confirm

Anything for Will Fraser bud?

As much as I think Fraser has the potential to be England's 7, I can't warrant losing Armitage for him. Anything I could do for any of your sevens? A little short in back row numbers, a swap elsewhere maybe?

I've had to be patient but I've managed it. Now for the half backs to come good

Honestly prefer both of my lads, don't quite see where I was getting anything in that one mate? 

Maybe so...

Be looking at Lambie.

Creevy + Jackson
For
Guirado + Lambie

Creevy world class and most put in their top 3 - you put him number 1!!

Could do Hibbard.

Not sure what else I can add. Happy to listen but Don't want a massive deal after a big deal with bath. You're improving your team to weaken your bench with this one.

Yep that's why it's a fair deal! Both gain, both get internationals as the 'weaker' option...

Cool no worries.

Neither do anything for me, no problem.

Messam + Creevy + Jackson
For
Brussow + Guirado + Lambie

Actually scrap that

Few too many injury prone guys there for me and can't really go for Hardie as too NH heavy in my team. Cheers though.

Domingo has been pretty ok of late - wouldn't mind Manu and Halfpenny staying injury free for at least a week, don't think that is very likely though!

Do really like Fraser, is he back playing now as has a real chance to push on once Burger hangs up his boots. Can't believe how the AP can't produce decent English no7s.

I'm after a top loosehead which is the only position you don't have a top talent so struggling to see a deal I'm afraid.

Although on consideration I'd swap Serfontein for Tuipolotu.

Not so sure with the front row lads, but Serfontein is available bud.
