Thompson & O'Leary & Steyn

Polota-Nau & Kelleher & Slade

Those players are not marked?

I feel I would lose out a bit there, because Polota-Nau is pretty good himself and at scrum-half Kelleher overall quality is better than O'Leary.

Seen Steyn unmarked and thought something might be possible, Slade though injured is highly rated on this game?

Or even though his marked what about Vito 4 Brown instead of Steyn 4 Slade?

No thanks mate, have no need for Moody and prefer the other two. I'd prefer to partner Williams with Thorn or Matfield with Russouw - any scope for that?

Kaino + Williams
=
Sharpe + Alberts

enq.

Mate, 3 ok players that I wouldnt start, in exchange for my best 2 players.



I'd be up for a deal but would want Bowe or JOC involved to complete my backline

wrong page

I wouldn't have Williams ahead of Albacete or Nallet, no chance, not by a long way. Pierre and MC are my back ups.



No worries about waiting, don't see much talent out there in foreign wings (that would be rated on here) otherwise I would have already signed them to be honest

No thanks mate, not a big fan of Fruean, especially without SBW alongside him and I would want to start Toeava alongside Gear and (Bowe)

Don;t want another back rower.

You said last week you preferred Sharpe to Thorn - he's obviously better than Williams in that case!

Fair enough. Anything along the lines of Thorn for Matfield to get the NZ engine room?

Anything for Picamoles, Sonny B, Fruean or Bowe

Have McCalman, Mapasua, Marty or Guildford?

Need more no point doing straight swap pointless.

Bowe => Guildford
McCalman > Higginbotham
Sonny B > Mapasua
Donald >

You need cover at fly-half Steven so willing to give a 3 for 4 as I have quite a good depth of players.

Anything for Higginbotham?

Habana 4 Clerc

Straight swap?

Habana not been the best in the World for 2-3 years.

Way off form Steven and for someone like Clerc or Guildford it's fair.

Habana is way off his 2008 form, you would do Bowe 4 Guildford but not Habana 4 Clerc which is very weird in my view.

Going back at some threads I had a look at Habana ratings were classed as him being overrated.

Habana 4 Clerc is on the plate?

Your up next on the draft mate

Any of:

Jones/Matfield/SBW/JOC/Bowe

available for a cheeky deal?
