Any chance you'd do George Merrick for Will Addison?

Just seen that I haven't responded to this. Hougaard could be available, am looking for a centre. Who you got available?

Cooper was kicking in the 50/60s though when he was first being slated. Remember the stats because I was one of the first to bring it up!

Sexton is hitting 71% which is down on his normal percentages over the last few years but its not particularly struggling.

With regards to this sje I have seen sexton struggle with big kicks this year. In a close game I would take Pienaar to pop them over. Pienaar is great under pressure. Huge sexton fan but If I had to pick between them as kickers then Pienaar every time. Especially in the wet
 

Any chance of loaning Retallick & Kvesic?

Could do you Burgess/Cowan + ? back

I was thinking the AI's but on second thoughts thinking he'll prob be involved in every matchday.

well done on the win mate. reckon we will be close this year.

what sort of side u going for this week in our LV?

No worries fella.

Like the balance of Fickou and Trinder in the midfield but looks like Bell will have to start.

Hi bud. Think you'd struggle to prise him away from me TBH. Lost Pocock for him in the summer, and is so valuable to me as a WC, versatile back rower. Certainly wouldn't do the deal suggested.

In seperate news, i'm still sniffing round Hook

Not sure, about Brown or Pisi

Interested in; Schuster, Attwood, Henderson, Pickles, Palu, JTH

Sorry bud, don't want to lose SOB for Vito.

Don't see anythin bud sorry.

What for Francois Steyn mate?

Fair enough mate. Anything for Eastmond?

Whilst the extra cash would be nice, I am light a hooker in my squad, so the extra bit of the deal with Steve (Hawkins for Matt Smith) sways it his way unless you can offer me a better hooker for Smith in the deal mate.

No worries mate, that's fair enough.

I woudl take David but have just realised that I'm going to have tor elease someone for him!

Eastmond starting at 13 tomorrow mate. Only against Calvisano, but should be interesting

What would you want for David ?

Very underrated player David. Great at getting over gain line. Looks fittest he has been for a while.

Anything for Zirikishvili, Bekker, Kvesic, Pics?

Merry Christmas mate

"Waller, PDJ, Maestri, AAC, Bowe"

English needs English obviously: Kvesic, Attwood etc.

Also interested in Bekker, Zirakishvili, Barrett, Fickou,

Interested in Tommy Taylor and Matt Kvesic mate. Anything we can do?

Would need EQ back for both of them

or

Care + Non-EQ for Wigs + Miller

Yer thought that was a bit unlikely.

Kvesic available?

Welcome to the league Pull!

Interested in Garvey, both Armitages, Castro, Nyanga & Pieneer. Give me a shout in the new year when your around and lets see if we can do anything!

==

Hey bro. Plenty after Pienaar - don't think I will sell. I don't think you have adequate replacements for the Armitage brothers but the others can potentially go in the right deals

So let's rustle up something. I'm interested in Vito, Picamoles, Palu.

Any deals for Bekker, Kvesic, Tulou, Sexton, Steyn or Eastmond?

Would you do Vito straight up for Nyanga?

===

No, would need a little sweetener from you.

No problem with the recall of Fickou fella, kid looks a prospect. Can't lose Lahiff at the moment, not until I get another loosehead in, but he could go once I have one. Spurling and Itoje can go. Can we do a deal with Kvesic?

Not willing to lose Brown mate.

Anything for JTH mate?

Attwood and Machenaud. Anything going?

Any of your looseheads available mate?

Well I rate him better than your lot so would need to improvve my starting XI

If your after raising cash I'd give you 10 mil for Tommy Taylor

Can't see anything for Zebo, in some brilliant form and just a simple swap won't suite me atm.

What for David Paice mate?

What for Eastmond mate?

What for Tommy Taylor?

Sa came on for 10 mins v Saints. Got a try assist!

cheers for the offer of the scrum half - I've got Alex Day who is the other u20 scrum half. Looking for someone with a bit of AP experience to sit on the bench until Simpson is fit again...may need an emergency loan for Peter Stringer soon!

what for hook mate??

If you're looking to offload Millo-Chluski I'd be interested mate.

Anything for Ouedraogo mate?

Care/Fotuali or forwards!

Am a big fan of Ouedraogo as well mate. Good player. Let me know if you are ever selling him.

POM for him?

Anything we can do with Pisi for Fotuali or Care?

Any chance?

Sorry mate I would have Robson quite a way ahead of devoto he is an ap regular and tipped for further honours.

Anyone else you see?
