Hold fire on Barnes mate, Fluxy is interested in him as well and will see what he's offering before confirming.

What for Creevy?

I'll have a think. Keen on Olding?

Louw?

Purdy?

What for kolbr

Where are you looking to build?

What for Purdy and creevy?

Could possibly get franks involved for the right deal

Looking to build team round warbs so don't want to let him to

Franks & Corbisiero for Wilson & James.

Tolofua/creevy

Ross + Tui + Haskell + JOC
=
Franks + Burger + Brown

Brussow/Dusatoir + 20m for Louw

okay no worries mate, anyone else possibly?

Worth a pop, anything else?

James and Delon

for

Corbisiero & ???

AWJ would need a lock back and your guys are all too close to the end of their careers so would struggle to get him in anything.

Sorry mate, I can't see the value in that deal for me.

Palu and Richie grey for louw?

If be in for Louw if you decide to sell

Would also do Palu and gray for corbs and kolbe

What would it take to get Louw

De Allende is miles better than James for me mate

Don't think much between them.

LLF/Sanchez/Patchell/Beale at 10

Louw + Ranger + Mafi

=

McCaw + JDV + Jones

If we could involve Brown somewhere mate I'd be interested.

Stephen Moore?

What for Creevy?

Hmmm. Would you be interested in Cooper?

I'm not a huge Creevy fan, especially compared to Beale whom I really rate

Richie grey and palu for louw?

A deal based around them possibly

In all honesty I'm not sure. I'd like to try and get Jenkins in possibly

Can loan you Barrow in exchange?

Planning on starting Flip, and loaned Kruger to Fluxy earlier in the week!

Want to keep hold of both ideally, more open to losing Flip though

Franks available?

Franks + a back 3 player for Flip + Faumuina?

Fair enough, would need to be a biggie because don't really want to lose either Flip or Williams, no worries bud

I'm ok at 10 now thanks to Fluxy

Can loan Jones to help you out, any of your back 3 guys available instead of James?

That'd be great. I'm lighter than expected in the back three during WC with Mitchell and Maitland included. Maybe Kellaway as a young winger (academy) if you need to boost numbers?

Hadn't realised Mitchell was in, so was hoping for one of Taute or Kolbe!

No worries, can do Jones on loan without anything coming back, but if I'm short later in the season, I may well come back to you!

Think I'm losing out EQ wise. Neither 36 nor Young really appeal to me

Hey mate not going to lie not massively keen on letting a player of Foleys quality out on loan

Creevy for Brits and Tomane?

What for Kellaway

FDP + Hibbard
for
Creevy + Kahn

Sorry Luke, the lads are about even, but I lose out a little on age.

No interest in Jackson sorry mate

If he was swapped for Beale then we have a deal

I'd be in for Creevy, not sure what you'd want though

Possibly, would need to build on that

Creevy, Smith, Beale, Brown, Jackson.

So be looking at something like:

? + Lambie + ?

Creevy + ? + ?
