Utility Backs


Released from Squad-

Very close, but don't rate Roberts and especially not at 13, where he would have to play, as McAllister is a shoe in at 12

Marconnet + Albacete + Bonnaire + Roberts
=
Cole + Lawes + Van Niekerk + Mapusua

Sorry Sam nearly missed that, feel I lose out a bit too much there mate. Giving me Albacete though makes me feel all giddy inside but Marconnet for Cole, Bonnaire for V.Niekerk and Roberts for Mapasua no no no.

Ayerza + Albacete + De Villiers + Turner

for

Alexander + Lawes + McAlister + Malzieu

Clermont

Not too keen on Malzieu, or McAlister.

Sure you not keen I'm my offer?

Could give you Skrela, you need a decent FH

Lose out too much like I said, and not keen on McAlister disgraceful talk.

if I get my foreign transfer approved mate I might be able to lend you Ryan Jones or Phil Dowson who can both do a job across the whole back row?

just a thought let me know if your interested - could make it perminante as well?

well it all depends on pooly agreeing my transfer request but if he does i don't mind loosing one of those guys if you want them.

so some sort of deal would be in order.

what do you think?

I would be very interested in Wilksinson in some osrt of deal maybe?

ah just seen your what sort of deal were you thinking mate thing

well either Dowson or Jones in some sort of deal for Wilko really . ..

something like . . .

Palmer + Wilkinson + lobbe
for
Dowson/Jones + Day + Colin Slade

thats just an example but somethign like that?

jeeeeze keep your wig on mate like i said it was an idea!!!

and it wasnt that bad

slade is top player and dowson & jones are good as well. Day I give you isn't much cop.

will come back to you about the loan - may take it but and if you did want Dowson for perminant would you do a deal involving wilkinson & Slade maybe?

am willing to hold onto canale and Myler for a bit if you want to buy them off me yes. no probs mate - will keep holdof them let me know.
cheers
B

Flood starts ahead of Wilko
Jauzion doesn't get in the french squad

International squad are full of silly calls

yeah sorry mate - what?

I will hold onto those guys if you want to buy them. May be able to do Traille but for Habs it would have to be massive and Franks is a no go sorry mate

Albacete + Turner + Marconnet

for

Lawes + Williams + Cole

Clermont

Fluxy you tempter . . .

Wilko + Marconnet £5m
=
Slade + Franks

close one that

you take out the £5mil
and do

Marconnet + Lawes + Wilkinson
for
Franks + Day + Slade

inquiry at the moment only - OK

Ok I will just sit and wait mate.

err mate that was based on your offer and franks and slade are both starters mate!!

would swap out day for dowson in that deal if thats better?

Evening fluxy.

Jenkins & Lobbe & De Villiers
4
Woodcock & McCalman & Donald

Thanks

Wilko + Marconnet £5m
=
Slade + Franks

thats the offer you put forward bud SORRY i have no idea why i thought you had Lawes that last offer of mine made no sense!!



your original offer wilko & Marconnet + £5mil
for Slade & Franks - I loose 2 starters for 1 in return

you up the casah or drop the cash and include another player for dowson or Day and we may be on

how about that?

fair shout on day being a bench player but Skrela over slade are you nuts Skrela is a bag of gonads - watched him week in week out in france and he's a liability and slow. imo.

anyhow sorry my last offer made no sense!

Yeah go on then..

No thanks Blogs, De Villiers fo Donald is a no no

Ok then fluxy, thought Woodcock is better than Jenkins going by ratings, you mentioned Lobbe for McCalman before and looking to improve 12,13,14.

What are your thoughts on Donald, couldn't see a 12 out there apart from Flutey and Olivier.

And im not blogs

my argument made sense to me lol

and it was your original offer unless we are now getting our wires crossed lol
and the drop in quality is is more in your favour I think! so we will agree to disagree!! and leave it at that then.

right sorry forgot about Dowson you wanted to loan him right? well he's on my bench at the moment assume you want him for this weeks match right?

I was allowing it so you could play Bonnaire..

eh you do have lawes i am getting muddled here!!

ah so you just got him lol

ryan jones what?

No it's alright, to be fair if you had posted your side at 9am tomorrow and healed the player just before I would have allowed it.

Just don't let it happen again!

what about just

wilkinson & cash
for
Slade & Dowson

see you have palmer & lawes now - nice engine room, see why you dont want to loose either.

?

Back rower no mate sorry.

what you think?

What you gonna do?!

you still chasing a back row?

and you want to do Skrela & £7 mil for JVN with blogs?

you really really no interested in
wilko & cash
for Slade + Jones/Dowson?? which seems decent compared to that deal above

:run2:

I'll swap Skrela +£7 for JVN

Way people have been talking about Skrela no way I prefer Brock James.

really better at FB the FH? - ok cool

Henson/Traille/Myler maybe?

Ok fluxy thinking back to earlier or yesterday your McCalman for Lobbe bit of the deal you proposed last week has been on my mind when I look back at your team and im thinking maybe if I do something right you might do something with them included?

Lobbe & Kirchner or Skrela
4
McCalman & Poitrenaud or Lambie

McCalman is class we have all gathered that, just losing Lobbe would you be keen on that? Your getting a really rated player back and you seem to like McCalman so I guess you wouldn't mind losing Lobbe for McCalman, carrying on Poitrenaud better full-back than Kirchner, Skrela for Lambie I prefer Lambie but you may think otherwise.

Thank you

Lobbe + Bonnaire + Roberts + Heymans
=
Waldrom + Elsom + Kahui + Halfpenny

--

No thanks mate, only see one gain there with Lobbe and happy with Waldrom as it is.

I'd consider deals for Skrela and Lawes though

you still interested in myler & canale?

open to offers now

Not letting Steyn go mate.

Kaino to Bonnaire Is huge step down so need something bigger to persaude me

Myler & Canale
for
Wilkinson???

or how about
Andrew Hore & Gonzalo Canale (or Myler)
for
Wilkinson & ???cash/player???

flux any thought on the above deal

or do you still want Canale - if not I may release him now

No thanks mate, much prefer Castro to Cole and Croft to Bonnaire, so the improvement (minor) on Spies isn't worth it

Halfpenny + Kahui
=
Williams + Roberts

--

No thanks mate, prefer both of mine there, not a fan of either of your two either, sorry.

How about

Lawes or FDP + Williams
4
AWJ/Thion or Cowan + Halfpenny?

Lawes >(>) Thion/AWJ
FdP => Cowan
Halfpenny > Williams

----

Yes i agree with those, hence my proposed dealings. One gain each. Whats your point mate?

sorry dude don't see any gain there at all as both my players are miles ahead!

ok dude, sort out your syntax then!! laters

Surely this system makes sense!

>= slightly greater, pretty much equal
> greater
>> much greater
>>> much much greater

Hore & Myler
for
Wilkinson & £5 mil

inquiry

Rees + Wilkinson + Bonnaire
=
Hartley + Slade + Hari

Hartley >> Rees
Slade << Wilkinson
Hari >>> Bonnaire!

so we have concluded their is a price for wilko haha!

Hore & Myler & Dowson
for Wilkinson & £10 mil

inquiry?

right off to mow the lawn !

No mat

so a deal with mooooj or Franks might be order then?

btw hore is no bit player mate!

would you consider

mooj, hore & Myler
for
cole/jenkins & wilkinson & £5mil


starting point but do send something back offer wise if you wish

Mujati isn't in the same league as Jenkins, and not quite as good as Cole


saffers think otherwise


ok so we are talking Franks - so its going to be a big big deal then . . .

your suggestion?
