Think I will make the first deal to Clermont.

Mapasua & V.Niekerk
4
Basteraud & Wood

Thanks

I see injuries are a bit tough in that position.

But surely if you are trying to sell Lawes not many people would want him if he is injured?

I could do with a back row and Mapasua.

Alexander & Thomson & Mapasua
4
Steenkamp & Wood & Basteraud

Steenkamp better than Alexander, Thomson and Wood form this season has been amazing so currently on par, Mapasua better than Basteraud.

Would you tend to agree, thanks?

Im good with my second row Jack possibly with Ali Williams is an experienced second row, and is quality not playing for New Zealand but have done in the past and both of them have been excellent, both haven't done too bad this season aswell.

You said front five, I gave you one gain in Steenkamp for Alexander, I think you said Alexander and Lawes are for sale and Steenkamp is better than Alexander so surely that's an improvement?

Thanks bathite

Lawes
4
Deacon + Nieto

That would lower my numbers so can't do that.

I will work my way around getting a 12, somehow.

Skrela + Palmer + Marconnet + Roberts
=
James + Lawes + Cole + Mapusua

Enq

As of what you said on homepage what about.

Cole & Mapasua or Contepomi or McAlister
4
Wp Nel & Davies or Evans

Thank you

I'd do

Lawes + Tuilagi
4
Deacon + Evans

Both of them are injured so wouldn't be keen at all. Contepomi, Mapasua or McAlister I would prefer. Either way you will still have the same amount and you could start any of the following.

12.McAlister, 13.Mapasua
12.Contepomi, 13.Mapasua
12.Mapasua, 13.Evans
12.McAlister, 13.Evans

All pretty good if you ask me, so it wouldn't matter if you lost McAlister, Contepomi or Mapasua, Mapasua though of course plays both so you might want to keep him at Clermont.

Thank you

Contepomi + 3m
4
Evans + Nieto/Jacobsen

That is basically a 2 for 1 mate, so no.

He's got one more match I think

8m + Shane Williams + Corbs 4 Sclezo + Ashton

Will deal at 12?

Fine will do £14m Drive a tight bargain

Change your mind quick!

Good replacement, Improvement at prop and enough money for 2 decent releases to fill out squad

Personally Williams > Turner so you wouldnt need to improve on him.

How about chuck in Ford 4 Ledesma gives you a gain at hooker

So
Ross Ford + Alex Corbisiero + Shane Williams + £14m for Chris Ashton + Mario ledesma + Martin Sclezo

You seem now the only person with 12's that I could possibly get with 22 million.

Luke McAlister or Seilala Mapasua for 22 million?

Thank you

No sorry will leave it then.

hello Bathite.

warburton for Robshaw is a no go I am afraid.

I am willing to deal on Warburton but need to strengthen elsewhere as well.

Feel free to offer something else

cheers

what about

Warburton & Gaskell

for

Lawes & Contempomi

inquiry?

not sure how fellipe is rated here now as he is getting on a bit, I see EFS as a great center, as good as Manu Tuilgai and should be rated highly.

what about invovling contepomi and a prop - I am short in the prop area?

maybe

Contepomi & cole/alexander
for
Warburton & Gaskell/Hape

or something like that?

you EFS does play international level - and to a high standard, was the best player for Samoa in the last world cup mate! I think people will rate him.

Also Schalk is rated. Or at least he should be. I for one think he's one of the best players in the league and when I used to do the old fantasy rugby I rated him very highly. and if you have him it's highly likely I will rate him highly in this league.

hmmmm I am just worried about the age thing with Contepomi, he's quality there is no doubt, 10/12/13 he plays really well in all those positions.

I am sure we haev a deal in us somewhere . . . . just where?

hmm maybe a cash sweetner to it would pursuade me?

yeah I see where your coming from with contepomi.

am just wondering where I can get a good replacement for Warburton.

ok will deal on Contepomi for Warburton . . . . . . think I am on the staler side here though

lets do it.

waldrom & Henson
for
rocky + Myler + £5mil is a no go sorry mate

dude will come back to you in a bit am currently sorting out another deal . . . what about keanry or byrne?

Marconnet + Albacete + Bonnaire + Roberts
=
Cole + Lawes + Van Niekerk + Mapusua

Enq

Skrela for B James instead?

so then where were we at looking at Byrne/Kearney - halfpenny etc . . . what sort of deal were you thinking chap?

I don't mind doing Halfpenny as I have cover but he does cover WG/FB positions so is useful?

CLERMONT UP AND RUNNING AGAIN AND READY FOR BUSINESS!

Good, need some All Blacks.

Thomson & McAlister & Turner
4
Ouedraego & Lambie & Poitrenaud

Thanks

You think of something then with Albacete, also try and include either McAlister, Turner or Thomson in it, all players can go apart from Guildford.

Only have three locks, take your pick of which you prefer can do Donald for McAlister or Brown or Ouedraego for Thomson aswell.

ENQ
Any interest in Lydiate to match with Warbs?

I meant at 6. Gives you the welsh flankers I'd have though. Could do like

Vermuelen + xxxxxxx 4 Lydiate + xxxxxxx

Don't like Turner/Malzieu so no can do.

Ledesma can also leave :L

Turner + Thomson + Corbs
4
Visser + Brown + Woodcock

Not losing Woodcock

I want a gain not a loss :s

Thats mental, if it was me I'd start Lydiate :s

But for me I'd put Vito > Thomson and I Don't think Vermuelen will even reach the bench

would you be interested in either Stephen Myler or Phil Dowson - am looking for cash offers?

I think this is the last week for Sharples.

Anymore thoughts on something for Albacete, McAlister or Turner?

Turner + matthewson + 5m
4
Sackey + kelleher

No, you said something about Albacete. Don't want Mathewson I have a perfect scrum-half.

Turner or Masaga & McAlister
4
Evans & Donald & 5m

Not keen on losing Kelleher unless it's for a player around his quality.

Turner or Masaga & Warburton
4
Evans & Smith & 6m

Thanks

you after a decent FH then.

Can offer you Butch James.

Butch James & Lee Dickson
for
Mike Phillips & £10mil

Don't forget James is an international as well mate and a very good FH and can cover CN - I think £10 is fair don't you really?

have a think

James & Dickson
for
Phillips & £10

lol ok then - you have a deal mate
confirm away

hard but fair mate!

As your about.

Mapasua or McAlister & Masaga
4
Donald & Evans & 6m

Thank you

Oh yes sorry my mistake Bathite.

Hook not for sale, unless you give me Fourie from Sarries, sorry mate. Only can see.

Mapasua or McAlister & Masaga
4
Lambie & Evans & 6m

Thanks
