Thanks

You can have Nalaga back now. Cheers bud

Bit confused on this pietersen transfer mate, thought it rolled over a day if a biding war? That's what happened in the past

Would need mas involved

Dusatoir + Beast

Brussow + Domingo

----

Tempting but see Dus and Brussow as pretty equal and Domingo above Beast.

Perhaps

Dusatoir + Beast + Read

Brussow + Domingo + Spies

One gain each, and gives you the SA back row. Let me know what you reckon.

Hmm, what can you add then to settle it? Ranger? You've got £40 mil to splash on a new winger.

Domingo + Hamilton + Brussouw
=
Beast + Nalaga + Dusatoir

enq.

When you're online let me know re above

Can you look at foreign mate

Beast + Dus + David
=
Brussow + Domingo + Allen

As I've said before,

Domingo > Beast
Dusatoir =< Brussow

So would need a small gain from you, don't you agree?

Yeah, because I was after the French back row. Now that Hari has gone not that bothered. Just thought that for you - with the league won it would be nice to have an all french front row. Noone will notice a downgrade on the bench.

Thanks mate!

Racing bid 12m for Loic Jacquet

Accept or reject on foreigns page by close of play 28/06/11

cheers for the bid on Abendanon Pooly - I would let him go but I just don't think I can get a better full back than him for £15 million !!

you got any ideas?

!!!!!!! you cheeky fecker

Alright mate, your up on the draft next, cheers

What for Tonga?

just you left on the draft fella, a back please and then its all done

Hello Pooly would you do any of these plus a possible gain if we can find any in your direction?

J.Smith 4 Thomson
Mas 4 Tialata
Medard 4 Pietersen

Your gain could be... Jenkins 4 Tonga'uhia

That's all I can see lol, Read 4 Parisse is there also

for gear, i would want parra or read

What for FTD? from Toulon

Hello Pooly if you could help me out a little bit that would be good.

All Toulon players for sale.

Interested in from you.

Warburton & 25 million

OR

Tonga'uhia & Jauzion
4
Ayerza & Roberts & 30 million

?

Beast + Ranger + Donnelly

Ayeza + Guildford + Whitelock

Whitelock not going anywhere for Donnelly.

What about just doing.

Beast & Ranger
4
Ayerza & Clerc

Clerc being better than Guildford and Ranger, gives you two french starters near enough while I get a all New Zealand wing?

He is good though and rated on here and better than Ranger.

He will start for France at the world cup with Medard on the other wing probably or Huget and Medard at full-back.

JMH + JP
=
Muiliana + Ranger

Enq

Just a small something.

Tonga'uhia & Michalak & Medard
4
Ayerza & Donald & Guildford

?

Alright mate, guess you have been too busy for predictions, which is fine, so i'm doing results now.

Lose out in my line up to gain in subs no thanks

What about bekker 4 beast? Gives you sa row and assume your starting tiny. If not, make it tiny?

Enq

Beast + Ranger/Nalaga

Bekker + Gear

-----

Don't see that as fair at all mate, as Gear top 3 and a lot of peoples best winger, whilst Ranger isn't anywhere near the AB squad and Nalaga is clubless. Don't see a better partner for Bakkies then Bekker other then Matfield, but you won't get him! Donnelly a big weakness right now

I would do it for Habana, so I can go back to my NZ back three

Tiny/Beast + Nalaga
4
Bekker + Habana

Habana still way ahead of Ranger and Bekker way ahead of Donnelly, but ok. Even if you don't get Gear, would sort out the second row and a weakness, thought would be good, no worries

Ok mate, but it seems that international coaches and most on here would disagree. Ranger not getting a AB spot anytime soon and Donnelly was only a stop gap. Didn't even start for the Highlanders!

They are definately your two weaknesses, but thats because the other 13 are superstars!

No worries, was only a thought

Lineout locks:

1. Matfield
2. POC
3. Palmer (Hybrid)
4. Albacete
5. Whitelock
6. Sharpe
7. Gray
8. Bekker
9. Kruger
10. Williams

Ali Williams is a poor player, would tend to agree he is good at the line out, but other than that too injury prone.

Forgot about Deacon he can sneak in at 23, meaning Jones 24 and Thion 25. Hines is past it and Williams is rubbish.

Don't see Donnelly on your top 20 there fella! And since then he has gone from 2/3rd choice AB lock to out of the squad to out of the 3N and WC squad and not even starting at his Super club!

Not convinced by Ranger at all, does all the showy stuff well, but has awful hands, would love to see the knock on stats fromt the S15 season. Its the one thing that drives me crazy when watching it.

If I was South African, I would have 30 caps on the wing by now! They should of tried and snapped up JOC early doors and capped him!

Always nice to have discussion on players though, unless its with blogs and its 400 words long, incomprehensible and littered with smileys!

Would you consider Fourie>Smith? Would break my heart to let him go.

Not keen to lose out hugely in starting lineup, thats why i went for the offer as it was one of your subs for one of my subs. How about a loan swap Bekker/Beast? Im thinking laterally!

Im trying to keep Steen mate, want some depth at LH, don't have any back up at all! Would be stuffed with injuries

Seeming as your online for a bit this morning, any chance of predictions? 4xleague and 1xchallenge cup

Oh and 1 last thing, whats my best back three?

11.Gear
14.Habana
15.Toeava

11.Gear
14.Maitland
15.Toeava

11.Gear
14.Toeava
15.Smith

11.Gear
14.Smith
15.Toeava

Keen to get Smith in the side ahead of Maitland, but not sure the heathens on here will rate him! Toeava will play on the wing for the AB, of course

Posted that before I saw your gear comment, sorry

Can't see a deal for Gear that you would agree to, to be honest. It certainly wouldn't involve back up players like Messam!

I am keen and would deal at that, just want to see if I can get an 8 in as well, hope thats ok

Ok, so how would that work? I do like Messam, not sure he is above Easter or Palu though. I reckon he is, but going on the top 10s he isn't

Bekker + Maitland + Palu/Waldrom
4
Beast + Nalaga + Messam

?

in a word, no!

just can't work out which player, maitland or steenkemp that people on here would see as a weakness! I know what I think, but i can't predict my scores unfortunately!

Haha!

Fair enough mate, its easy for you, your sitting pretty at the top! I think i deserve a top 4 spot, but its going to be soo close and i have tigers away last game of the season!

I'll ask for some opinion on homepage and see where that gets us

Ok, don't see the rush, no game til tuesday, but ok doke, have a good weekend

now you sound like my missus!

Mas + FTD

for

Stevens + Carter

Carter would need to be involved.

Franks would need medard or mils

Kub might be available

Castro + Alberts
=
Stevens + Smith

enq.

Would you consider JMH for Mils in any deal mate?
