Not sure I can see anything for Nonu mate. Would need a 12 replacement and I can't see one in your squad that I fancy.

Think I'd have been happier with 3 games in a row against not such a brutal pack!

You must be getting close to the longest consecutive time in this game without having a player retire now too!

What for Louw mate?

Stephen Moore or Augustin Creevy for TPN + Colin Slade?

What would you need for one of the two?

Looking to keep Williams sorry as he's hitting form.

What for Kolbe or kellaway

Could you get Louw, Brown involved?

Anything for louw? Could get one of my 10s involved

Maybe if we can change James to Ranger.

No chance of getting Louw in?

I'b be in for Brown and Burger mate,

Sorry mate carter nfs.

Sorry mate not looking to lose Lopez

Tait + Mermoz + Foley + Shields/Brussow/Dusatoir

Brown + Ranger + Louw + James

?

Could do Madigan, who has been in good form for Leinster?

JJ + Madigan 
=
Franks + Burger

?

I'd say he was in the top 3 FH's form wise but see your point, Louw is more established. No bother

Never smoked 

To be honest, I can't lose Murray so will need to look elsewhere. Was more keen on to be fair and Franks is also an interest.

Best 10 in S15 rugby and seems to have cemented Aus 10 shirt but again see your point, Mermoz in there too who's arguably been one of the best centres in Europe?

Shame, I thought we were close.

Yea no bother mate...Denton/Mafi on top tempt you?

Sorry mate was in a rush. 

Just stating that we would have to look for someone else, as Murray is NFS. 

Was mainly interested in Brown & Franks

I do, I rotate depending on the style of play. I like to play more tactical away from home and Lambie has a better kicking game.

Never touched any of that sort of stuff!

No worries bud

I'd need Louw in if I included both Foley & Mermoz mate.

Nowhere near mate.

I like Creevy but I'm fine at hooker, no real interest in Maitland. I'd probably release James so basically doing it for a gain at FB.

We had a good go, not a million miles away. I'd just need Louw involved if I lost both of Foley/Mermoz.

Tait + Mermoz

Brown + Ranger

Keep it simple?

Happy to disagree on that one lol, I think we're done.

Haha, yea it was a good effort.

One of my FH's + Creevy?

Sorry mate I never got back to this offer. Think the gap between Barrett and the 10s is a lot bigger then between the hookers. Fairly happy with Kayser only seems to be Matt who has a downer on him. 

Would want to genuinely strengthen my side to help a play off rival strengthen his ;)Would want Louw worked in to some kind of a deal.

Freddie Burns interests me

Louw, Brown?

Anything for Mafi?

Flo?

What areas you looking to strengthen mate?

Phillips, Priestland, Bonnaire, Hook type of thing?

Brown, Creevy?

I want to keep hold of Lambie

Not sold on that deal sorry fella

Interested in Franks and Louw mate.

Anything for Louw mate?

Johnson barely features for Exeter in real life and I'm no fan of 36 so no real interest in that one. Not sure I can do anything if you want a gain on England's first choice tighthead for New Zealand's one, when there is very little in quality and you'd be getting EQ. Think we might be on very different pages looking at this at the moment.

I wasn't looking for him to replace Wilson, was looking at rotating them. I'll stick with what I have.

Corbs?

Louw, Brown?

Not really sure where I gain at all in that one bud, and JD definitely nfs

Louw?

Surely Franks!

Who are you interested in? Also interested in Brown

Interested in Louw mate, let me know what you'd want for him

de Jäger for mafi?

Yes mate, I'll deal on that.
