lol only joking mate _ i was happy with teh deal as I haev my main man back, now I can build a team around him like England are going to do lol :P

pull you swine . . .

just when I am happy with my engine room you do that

POC + Burgess
=
Genia + Russouw

have to say its tempting but the difference for loosing O'Connell for Russouw is a bit much for me, have to say no, close though!!!

blimey pull

its a close one i agree - but not sure about loosing O'Connell, he's such a leader and well rated on here.

will thin about it.

Could possibly do the dickinson deal but have to be sure I can get another scrum half replacement and at the moment I am pushing for another second row and prop as well as a top starting FH

haev my work cut out!!!

Would I be able to heal a player tonight, and take the money off my monthly bonus tomorrow?
I'm on £7m atm

Enquiry

Crane + Rokocoko + Thorn

for

Vermuelen + Williams + Lawes

Clermont

OH.... AH, okay

I'll undo if you want, I am hopefully about to sort out my BS situation.

ok ok hold up what exactly are you offering now??

don't forget I have Alberts and rate Hari much higher than Spies!!!!

What about...

Spies + Flood + Dagg

for

Thomson + BR.James + Kearney

Clermont

Getting confused there Blogs? That is one of Bears players

hahaha ^^^^

Been a lot of movement and on here, I did think Thomson was Australian didn't I and Bathite said what im I going on about. Plus I have been looking at Bear's side and I like McCalman and was going to bid for him off Bear later so had him in my head.

All genuine, you know the Thomson game I got him mixed up Bathite can tell you that.

I never mentioned Thomson, someone is paranoid.

I get Thomson mixed up as an Aussie when he is actually from New Zealand, I did say that on the homepage a couple of days ago.

Had McCalman along with Spies and Pocock in my head, so I put McCalman down.

I am going to bid for McCalman, I have bidded for Pocock and Spies above and I have Thomson confusing story but I get Thomson mixed up as an Aussie.

Again, why are we talking about Thomson.

We are discussing McCalman

But I meant to put Thomson for Spies instead of McCalman and with Pocock in my head I could of put Pocock down as one of my players.

So many deals I do on here it's going to my head, but im bored and like doing them

And don't you think by now I would of done a mistake in the deals I make.

I do + and for
I see Bear does & and 4

If I was the same person im sure I would of fitted a 4 or & in by now.

Albacete
=
Russouw + £10 mil

Rossouw good player and 10 million is decent aswell, but I just love Albacete my favourite lock on this game along with Sharpe.

Just an offer for you Pull before I head bed then college tomorrow.

Spies & Mermoz
4
McCalman & Davies & Sackey

By ratings I get the feeling McCalman may be a better option than Spies at 8, Mermoz better than Davies we have established that, also Sackey as an add on to you because Bathite said an extra player may work?

Thanks

uh oh - whats the scor with transferred players from yesterday?

I bought in a couple of players but see they have still been fielded by the side I got them from ie. Banahan at Bath?

Should I have waited or should they have updated their squads?

if so it will effect some score line quite badly?

I think my side is up to date.

I am doing the predo's now but I am unsure as to how to double check the correct squads as there is n o way of knowing without going through every post if everyone has updated correctly. I only knew the Bath - saints transfers as they were ours!

am sure people will ping you fairly quickly if they spot a problem.

I am issuing an automatic 30 point bonus win to the opposition if there are ineligible players in the oppositions side - think thats fair and it means the managers might try to stay on top of it.

what you think?

yeah but bath had 2 - but see you have changed that now mate - ok cool - will go by whats on the page and leave it at that

cheers
B

Sorry about the delay mate, been in meetings all morning. I'll try and have a check of the teamsheets at lunch at 12ish

cripes just looking at our packs mate in week9 - I wouldn't want to be a forward in our game!!! would be a great one to watch though MASSSSSIVE HITS!!!

Can't see many duplicates or problems pull, just in Biarritz. There is Carriza on bench and starting and thought Cole was injured?

Oh, didn't realise about Cole.

Just saw another one though, Hibbard is injured and on the Bath bench. Don't think that there is a fit replacement, so not a full 22

mate you still interested in maybe buying Dickson? if so will let him go for offers around 10mil?

let me know.

Oh and hape is injured, so make that 20 fit players for Bath!

Guess that means Barkley or Giteau to 13. Barkley has played there before, so would plump for him personally

yeah no worries mate, it has been hectic recently, which is GREAT for the game! The new managers have done really well, think the bottom teams have improved, I nearly had Bath beating Scots away!

I don't mind doing results again buddy, frees up something for you to do.

Guess its MOTM time as well? Some newbies might get my vote I reckon.

I lose out twice to gain once so not overly interested

Hello pullthestrings, looking to be really busy to see if my plan starts pulling off.

Thorn & Rokocoko or Sivivatu
4
Williams & Guildford & 6m

2nd deal

Rokocoko & Hamilton & Dagg
4
Guildford & A.Tuilagi & Poitrenaud

Thank you

Castro + Spies + Croft
=
Cole + Lobbe + Bonnaire

Enq

Sorry but need an answer on these.

Thorn & Rokocoko or Sivivatu
4
Williams & Guildford & 6m

2nd deal

Rokocoko & Hamilton & Dagg
4
Guildford & A.Tuilagi & Poitrenaud

Thank you

mate if your still interested in Dickson let me know what you want to deal on ?

hey chap

coming back to previous offers etc . . . but have something to put to you?

Andrew Hore & Luke Burgess
for
???? & will Genia

doesnt have to be a front row player??

welsh half back combo - ohhhh your funny lol

nah Phillips is a good player I think but Jonesy, well he's not as good as he used to be. Legend though.

hmm not really interested in loosing POC or Hari - too big a loss. Plus I loose both Scrum halfs in that deal.

I would do

Hore (giving your moore hore lol hahahah) any way a bucket load better than chuter!!

sorry

Hore + Burgess + Myler/Canale
for
Spies + Genia + £13 mil

inquiry

dont thin either of us gain much with habs deal - although he was valued at about £36 mil in the previous seasons!!! lol how????

Russouw & Roko
4
Albacete & Guildford

Don't see any real gain in there.

Thorn or Dagg & Rokocoko
4
Albacete or Kearney & Guildford

Thank you

^^^^ any thoughts o great one
obviously no Canale now . . .

Just don't want Rossouw or my plan won't work.

Would need Thorn or scrap the second row bit altogether.

Thorn, Sivivatu, Rokocoko and Dagg interest me.

Willing to sell Albacete, Guildford and Kearney for them.

Only 4 predictions left for results mate. Also, I have got the MOTM votes covered as well, not to worry about that.

I just pm'd you mate.

would be looking for cash really - going back to a couple of your previous offers . . . maybe?

Hore + Burgess + Dowson
for
Spies + Genia + £maybe or player?

or just cash will do for Dowson

thats kind of fair enough I understand why you say that but Hari is a much better player, as much as I like Spies.

is there a deal anywhere? . . .

are you still after POC? It would have to be a massive deal on him if you were captain and all that!

and mate you really should sell Watson asap!!
maybe as niether spies or hari are gong anywhere? what about

Genia & Russouw
for
Burgess & Dowson & Day

or maybe

Genia & Cash
for
Burgess & Dowson

Don't know where pooly gets his info but Hari has had another great season?
Even though they have moved him to the flanks because lakafia is storming the 8 shirt, it's not a reflection on hari's performance but on how well Lakafia is playing.

Hari has been imense! and I hasn't lost any of his effectiveness at 6/7 he's still owning the line outs and popping up all over the place to terrorise the oppo's! Don't get me wrong I love spies but think I also have his style of play covered with Albert - the blinking beast!

so Hari going no where sorry bud.

if you do want Dowson am happy to let him go for £10 mate let me know.

your welcome to come back with another offer if you want bud.

1. Hope you got my PM
2. Results - posted on main page
3. MOTM - two votes left, luke and pooly, but its pretty much sown up in all positions

hey chap I know your after POC pretty badly - i may come back with a deal in a bit if I get some action later . . .

am going to have Bathite sniffing round POC now as well . . . just letting you know

Genia and Weepu

Ok let's make this simple as I have seen banafan-aka-hon do this a few times.

Interested in
Castro, Rossouw, Brussow, Spies, Weepu, Mermoz, Sivivatu, Rokocoko and especially Israel Dagg.

Available from me
Every player except the front three duo of Woodcock and Mealamu.

Dagg
4
Poitrenaud

If you could possibly add something to that I would be grateful.

Thank you

Yeah, but would be looking for Roussow or Thorn in return, hoping to build second row back up after losing Bekker.

am back to look at POC deals mate - you still interested?

POC + Burgess + Rocko/Sivi
for
Russouw + Genia + strettle/Dowson

inquiry at the moment ok

Nallet, Thion, AWJ is tops for second row mate. I wasn't looking to lose Russouw or Thorn - wanted AWJ for backup.

Any scope for a Russouw/Nallet deal

------

Good to know mate, thanks. But I don't think everyone agrees unfortunately. Assumed you wouldn't want to lose those two, don't blame you!

Now that I have a French 2nd row, its going to be even trickier to prise Nallet away, sorry buddy. Thorn would obviously get me excited though!

If I was to lose AWJ, I would want more quality at prop or maybe hooker
