8 then loosehead I think. Armitage is a decent 7

Where should i improve guys?

Prop and wing

So good start with Afoa!

Prop-lyd- I'd say either side prop and then 8

Driver- prop, maybe a power carrying forward (wing covered by Medard and Leigh, but could look at a more specialist player)

How about me, chaps?

I like Afoa a lot and playing 1 & 3 it makes him the sensible choice.

Yep, Afoa is a good shout. Not so sure on him as a LH though

CJ I reckon lock, then maybe full back? Not too many weaknesses!

Well, FB is getting done. Lock next then

I'd say 8 CJ with Lobbe out injured.

Full back as well though.

Vermeulen is injured not Lobbe, right? Or you mean real life?

Love Le Roux, if Folau wasn't around at the time I would have gone for him over any other back 3 player

Afoa a good shout for th, steady at lh.

What are peoples thoughts of Ryan grant as a technical scrummager with a big lock behind him

I like Grant, though Glasgow's drop in form isn't helping him

Real life CJ.

Merry Christmas lads! Cheeky little bonus, loving it. I've done well with injuries and have only lost games by the odd point, so think now is my time to shine.

I'm starting with Figallo to bolster that front row and then looking at 13, would you agree?

Tonghu'ai/Ben Arous
Strauss/Szarz
(Figallo)/Jones/Mujati
Kruger
Retallick
Lydiate/Laurent
Louw/Le Roux
Faletau

Youngs/Mach
Sexton
Roberts
(???)/Chavancy
Imhoff
Fall
Smith

Yep, agree with that. As I said on the other thread, I think your loosehead is more of an issue than Jones, but front row and 13 definitely the right areas

Sounds right, 13 defs next

People rate Figallo at lh? He's played there quite a bit with argentina

Prefer him at th with ayerza on other side. Would look at lh, 13 and wing bathite

Yeah I'm not so sure on him as a LH. Woodcock as a loosehead maybe? Bit old but still good imo

Right I'm going for mako

How would you guys rate Fourie Du Preez? Given he is in Japan, but still showed his class in the AIs..

£50m to spend, i can prob sign 2 players, just wondering who to go for..

Highly at the moment, he was the best 9 this year for the short while he was playing. But unless he can prove his form again, it will drop off over months in my eyes

How do people rate non Ints like Attwood or Garvey?

I would rate them both as decent grunt options, depends on the balance of the pack as a whole though

Am hoping both get a go for England at some point so may not be non Int for long!

How long is this game going for? More than one season?

What's the best 13 left? Bosch, Saili, engelbrecht or BOD?

Bosch

Anyone want to trade me a winger?? Preferably NH

Any chance of a New Years bonus too   

Both my NH full backs on offer

Willing to offers on Hernandez in exchange for a LH

willing to listen to offers for Hernandez and Ashton.

I'll give you a bag of skittles for Ashton?   

Where do we think is next for me? Maybe a 10-12? Or backup player at 9? Or does the pack still need bolstering?

And do people rate Manoa as a backup option at lock as well as 8?

I liked manoa in 2nd row personally.

Where next for me guys? I'm thinking depth at 2,3 and another utility back for fb?

I would still look at your locks before 10-12. Cruden and Nonu are about as good as it gets there!

Hard to say prop, your squad is quality. Maybe someone who can cover lock and flanker, bit of depth in both positions? Or Rousouw as that guy and an outright lock

Right, the Racing Metro team is in, I've had a chance to do tactics this week. I've heeded all the feedback, brought the blokes in the areas of weakness and made some alterations to the way we play. Time for us to bag the win, that we've been oh so close to getting all season! Come on Racing!

In case Fluxy doesn't have time to approve my foreign, would anyone consider loaning me a NH wing for one week?

I can't offer anything in return, other than a promise to help out if you are in a similar bind in future..

Can offer Buttin for one week, or maybe Malzieu

Vincent Clerc?

Thanks both. Am happy with either Malzieu or Clerc, so whoever is able to put it on confirms first I will accept. I may not actually play them depending on the foreign, but just so I know I can field a team will really help me out

If either of you are stuck in future please do say!

Right i have £77m to spend, that should get me 3 foreigns, just trying to really pick out the best options for me..

You're down to 52m after Cory Jane mate

ah of course lol!

either way thats another 2 foreigns, just trying to really nail down the right players.
