Still want to do this? I'll be back on in a bit.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 27 Jul 2011, 6:17 pm

Not a big fan of Alberts, would need more involved.

Castro + Alberts + Genia

Stevens + Smith + Parra

Enq

by Fluxy Wed 27 Jul 2011, 6:17 pm

What for Genia/Thorn mate?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 27 Jul 2011, 6:46 pm

Rougerie for Smith?!?! I'm lost

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 27 Jul 2011, 6:51 pm

Ahhh ok. No thanks, wasn't convinced with my offer do def wouldn't look to add Conrad in. No probs

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 27 Jul 2011, 6:57 pm

No thanks fella

by Fluxy Wed 27 Jul 2011, 6:59 pm

Burgess + Kaino + Afoa + CNs

Genia + Wood + Castro + CNs

And the centre partnerships?

Burgess + Sharpe + Vito + ?
=
Genia + Thorn + Wood + ?

Enq

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 27 Jul 2011, 9:42 pm

No interest in that deal mate. In not planning to play Stevens so see Alberts as a big loss for my side.

by Fluxy Wed 27 Jul 2011, 9:49 pm

See Thorn and Sharpe as pretty mch equal at the mo. Sharpe in fact ahead.
I accept that on Genia, however you know my opinion on McCalister

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 27 Jul 2011, 9:52 pm

CJ has had a better season than Castro by a fair bit. Castro has been poor this season and I see the difference between Alberts and Smith as a lot bigger than Castro/CJ.

I've seen Castro get battered off numerous lately and slip to second choice at Leicester. Not seen CJ get bettered all season.

by GloucesterBear Wed 27 Jul 2011, 10:39 pm

Anything for Mermoz or McAlister?

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 27 Jul 2011, 10:42 pm

Never said CJ was a beast, I said he had a better season. I can't account for what rugby people watch on here but from what I've seen Castro has slipped massively over the last year or so and he wouldn't be a great gain on CJ imo.

We've obviously got different opinions, I've no interest in Castro or Alberts so can't see any deal happening fella.

by GloucesterBear Wed 27 Jul 2011, 10:45 pm

McAlister + F Steyn + Rokocoko
=
Poitrenaud + Guildford + £5 mil

Could I add Mermoz 4 Roberts including the rest Wink

by GloucesterBear Wed 27 Jul 2011, 10:53 pm

Or

McAlister & Mermoz & Wood/Bonnaire
4
Roberts & Guildford & 5m

by Fluxy Thu 28 Jul 2011, 4:19 pm

What for Castro mate?

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 29 Jul 2011, 10:49 am

Servat + Bekker + J Smith + Parra
=
Alberts + Genia + Thorn + Moore
------------------------------------

Only see tiny gain in scrum halfs. Thorn is class but would not work with Bakkies as both very much 4's.

I could never let Juan Smith go for Alberts mate, would need about 5 gains.

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 29 Jul 2011, 1:33 pm

When did I say I was after Genia lol

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 29 Jul 2011, 3:27 pm

I can imagine the kind of deals you're after.....rate Parra up there (prob just off) Genia so not really worth weakening other parts of my team.

by Fluxy Fri 29 Jul 2011, 6:49 pm

Castro + Russouw + Flood + Genia
=
Afoa + Sharpe + Steyn + Burgess

Enq

by GloucesterBear Sat 30 Jul 2011, 11:02 am

McAlister + F Steyn + Rokocoko
=
Poitrenaud + Guildford + £5 mil

Add Rougerie 4 Marty or Alberts 4 Lydiate then I will deal?

by Steven_Sharks Sat 30 Jul 2011, 1:33 pm

Domingo + Thorn

for

Jenkins + Williams + Moody

by Fluxy Sun 31 Jul 2011, 12:36 pm

Castro + Russouw + Flood + Genia

Afoa + Sharpe + Steyn + Burgess

?

by GloucesterBear Sun 31 Jul 2011, 12:55 pm

Rougerie & Rokocoko & McAlister
4
Roberts & Guildford & 5m

?

by Driver Sun 31 Jul 2011, 4:45 pm

Rate both mine higher mate

by Fluxy Sun 31 Jul 2011, 4:47 pm

Nothing to persuade you losing Genia?

by Fluxy Sun 31 Jul 2011, 5:05 pm

Castro + Russouw + Flood + Genia + Brussouw
=
Afoa + Sharpe + Steyn + Burgess + McCaw

Enq

Would that work?

by Fluxy Sun 31 Jul 2011, 5:15 pm

I think I'd rather lose Sharpe mate, unless we swapped the second rows completely. Any chance of the French midfield or F Steyn too?

by Fluxy Sun 31 Jul 2011, 5:21 pm

Couldn't do that.

Just do;

Castro + Russouw + Genia + Brussouw
=
Afoa + Sharpe+ Burgess + McCaw

Enq

by Fluxy Sun 31 Jul 2011, 5:38 pm

Jack has already been bought. Not really interested in buying anyone in anymore tbh. And I have enough Back-rowers at the mo

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 31 Jul 2011, 5:55 pm

Have we not done a deal all season?!?!

by Fluxy Sun 31 Jul 2011, 10:50 pm

Are we close to a deal?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 31 Jul 2011, 11:03 pm

I do rate them lol

What for Genia then....need something similar. Looking at Genia/Parra 1/2 in the world so need something similar back. Not really interested in Sivi tbh, top player tho but don't think he suits my backline.

by Bathite Mon 01 Aug 2011, 9:15 am

Have you decided if there will be injuries for play offs yet?

by Bathite Mon 01 Aug 2011, 9:23 am

Ha ha ha! You get a little gap in second place and now you start belittling everyone below, how rude! Rolling Eyes

Still in with a good chance of top 4 i reckon.

You think its worth me getting Care in? Such a great partnership with Evans at Quins, quite possibly better player then Cowan anyways

by Bathite Mon 01 Aug 2011, 9:29 am

Agreed, probably not worth it then. His form for Quins is exceptional though, for a long period of time now. I met him once and thought he was a d i c k, so that also makes me not want to sign him!

by Fluxy Mon 01 Aug 2011, 10:10 am

Confirm it then mate

by Bathite Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:44 am

No, the loan is over now mate, cheers

by Steven_Sharks Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:17 pm

Don't want Sharpe back really, and not letting Kaino go

by Steven_Sharks Mon 01 Aug 2011, 1:21 pm

I do prefer Sharpe to Thorn. I just don't want him back as I don't think many rated the Sharpe/Matfield partnership. I don't really want Williams and Matfield together either really.

by GloucesterBear Mon 01 Aug 2011, 3:56 pm

Who can go?

Give me a decent list might even do Rougerie 4 Marty that's pretty good enough.

by Bathite Mon 01 Aug 2011, 3:59 pm

If I was to lose Rocky for Alberts, it would have to be Sivi 4 Maitland or Heymans. Would prefer Guildford though i think

by GloucesterBear Mon 01 Aug 2011, 4:02 pm

Why can't you lose Mermoz or Rougerie not being funny or trying to pee you off, but Marty with Mermoz will be highly rated best centre partnership in European Rugby.

Would only be interested in Domingo, Wood, McAlister and Steyn.

Plus Mermoz or Rougerie Very Happy

by GloucesterBear Mon 01 Aug 2011, 4:27 pm

Guildford + Vito + Poitrenaud
=
Steyn + Wood + McAlister + Roko

Prefer my players even though its a 3 for 4 steam

sorry

by Fluxy Mon 01 Aug 2011, 4:29 pm

What for Moore?

by GloucesterBear Mon 01 Aug 2011, 5:19 pm

Guildford + Vito + Deacon
=
Steyn + Wood + McAlister + Roko

Would only have two locks then.

by prop_lyd Tue 02 Aug 2011, 9:28 am

The praise they're geting I can't let my back row go sorry!!

by Bathite Tue 02 Aug 2011, 9:30 am

Pierre + Maitland/Heymans
4
Sivivatu + Ford
?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 02 Aug 2011, 9:38 am

Beast + Donnolly

Domingo + Wood

Eng

by Bathite Tue 02 Aug 2011, 9:42 am

Not sure if Alberts or Wood are good enough to replace Rocky, but I would want Sivi as my main target if he left.

How about just

Pierre + Heymans
4
Sivi?
