a!!!! twelve threes lol sorry bit slow . . .

Yes look on bbc sport or sky sports news website banafan-aka-hon.

No I will actually give you the link myself as your getting on nearer 40 it must be a bit difficult to type a website into the search engine.

Blogs - stop causing trouble. One day without an arguement would be nice.

blogs your a nobber.

Nothing wrong with that pullthestrings.

He was taking the mockery out of me last night and this morning, this is the first time I have got my own back.

Fair now, Maddock did play for Bath so he obviously wants to see a link about his move to Sarries, so I gave it to him with a little joke to go with it.

You don't tell banafan-aka-hon to stop causing trouble, but when it's myself it's a little bit different.

Just saying.

gutted thought your insider story was TIndal or EFS coming to Bath mate

Well Joe Maddock was very good for Bath in the season he left, Saracens now have him on the wing with young Short or Strettle on the opposite.

That is pretty good for an Aviva Premiership side, who happen to be the Champions.

oh yeah Maddock was top scorer a few seasons in a row - he's a class finisher, but what is he 36 or something, might be pushing it - especially after a year in italy.

EFS will never come back to bath, ever. Don't forget that he is mediocre, only had 3/4 of a good season. Wouldn't start him ahead of barkley hipkiss or carraro.

Joey Maddock will be a great signing for Sarries, proven finisher, deadly from 20 yards out. Assume he will play all of the games that Strettle misses at WC at the very least

32!!!

Argh Bathite how could you....I was excited!!

EFS is going nowhere...becoming a cult hero quite quickly.

Blogs

at the moment any one would start ahead of Barkley poor bust up kid!! Can't wait for him to get fit again. If he hadn't broken his leg again he would have been pushing for a WC spot.

EFS is a quality center mate.

If he hadn't broken his leg again he would have been pushing for a WC spot.

Wrong on that aswell to be fair, he was doing well but others were or have done better this season, including Banahan, Manu Tuilagi and young Farrell.

You are both wrong, he would have been in the squad if he hadn't publically criticised the mgmt whilst on tour and effectively ruined his chance of playing for england again. Shame though, don't think there has been a better 12 that offers so much so consistently for a while.

Manu is a 13 and not ready
Banahan is a 13 and more ready
Farrell is a 10 and about 5th choice
36 not ready, doesn't start enough games
Turner hall, massive plateau since breakthrough
Flutey injured and age against him

jesus blogs - when he cam e back from injury he was playing very well and al the talk was about a spot in the Elite squad . . . keep up con.

I will add Henry Trinder to that list aswell.

Banahan is a 13 and more ready

think Banahan will be used at 12 mate.

as long as no one takes Hape to the WC I don't mind . . . he's gobsite.

Trinder, behave yourself, one good season, needs more time then that and some heineken cup rugby, not the back half of the premiership when the ground is hard and the best players are rested/injured/internationals.

Anyway, we are talking 12s, not 13s

Banahan, Allen, Tuilagi, Tindall, Hape and a few others should be ahead of Barkley broken leg or no broken leg.

Barkley is a good player, but he is so injury prone he is like a cat with 9 lives who always seems to come back play well then get injured again.

But Barkley is nearly 30, far better younger players out there Banahan only 24 and same with Anthony Allen.

Then you have Tuilagi, Turner-Hall, Trinder, Twelvetrees and others.

Barkley won't be going due to injury and lack of game time - don't disagree with that - we were saying that he was pushing for a place when he was playing . . . .

Banahan, Manu, Tindall, Hape (god save us) and 1 other spot for grabs maybe?

5 centres, or you classing Banahan as centre and wing?

No chance will take 4 centres max, with banners covering wing as well obviously

I'd go for

Sheridan, Corbs, Cole, Stevens
Hartley, Thompson, Chuter
Lawes, Palmer, Deacon, Shaw
Moody, Croft, Haskell, Easter, Wood
Youngs, Care, ?
Wilkinson, Flood
Hape, Flutey
Tindall,
Cueto, Ashton, Banahan, Strettle
Foden, Delon

Barkley would not be challenging for an England spot if fit

Long may it continue! Suits me

Sheridan, Corbs, Cole, Myler
Hartley, Thompson, Mears
Lawes, Palmer. Shaw, Attwood
Moody, Croft, Haskell, Easter, Fourie
Care, Youngs probably Simpson/Hodgson
Wilkinson, Flood, Hodgson
Banhan, Hape, Tuilagi, Tindall
Strettle, AShton, Cueto
Foden and I hope Abendanon

Myler at prop, very interesting

ooooooooooops yeah he wouldn't last long there meant Marler

Sheridan, Cole, PDJ, Corbs
Hartley, Tommo, Mears
Lawes, Attwood, Palmer, Shaw
Wood, Croft, Easter, Haskell, Moody

Youngs, Simpson, Care
Wilko, Hodgson, Flood
Hape, Tindall, Barritt
Banahan, Cueto, Ashton, Foden, Armitage

Sheridan, Corbs, Cole, Doran-Jones
Hartley, Thompson, Chuter
Lawes, Palmer, Deacon, Attwood
Moody, Croft, Haskell, Easter, Wood
Care, Youngs, Simpson
Wilkinson, Flood, Hodgson
Banahan, Hape, Tuilagi, Tindall
Simpson-Daniel, Ashton, Cueto
Foden, Armitage

Wales

Jenkins, Jones, Mitchell, James
Hibbard, Rees, Burns,
Charteris, Davies, Wyn-Jones, R.Jones,
Faletau, Lydiate, Warburton, Thomas, Delve

Rees, Peel, Knoyle
Jones, Priestland, Hook
Roberts, Davies, Williams
Stoddard, North, Williams, Brew

I know that it wouldn't happen because Gat's will take Bennet, Byrne, Henson and Phillips but I'd love to see that squad for the W.C

A welshman that supports gloucester, you must be a forest of dean man!

Did you deliberately leave out halfpenny? Surely he is 2nd choice wing behind shane

Oooo balls no I didn't, I know there's concerns with injury...guess he'd be above brew!

Yep f.o.d man, how'd you guess?!

An educated guess, you wouldn't be a bay or valley boy if you were a shed head!

Flutey will go to the World cup if fit.

Perfect outside our first choice 10 (Flood) as he is physical but can also control as a first receiver.

I reckon 36 and Trinder will be the England centres for a long time when they fulfil there potential.

Bit of change since I last asked...

1. Rodrigo Roncero
2. Kevin Mealamu
3. John Afoa
4. Pascal Papé
5. Julien Pierre
6. Kelly Brown
7. Fulgence Ouedraogo
8. JMF Lobbe (c)

9. Dmitri Yachvilli (k)
10. Juan Martín Hernández
11. Drew Mitchell
12. Jean De Villiers
13. Adam Ashley-Cooper
14. Vincent Clerc
15. Delon Armitage


Constructive criticism?

Think the deal worked out well Luke.

Poitrenaud 4 De Villiers isn't much in that at all others make think differently, but I needed a better full-back and someone who can play 12 so glad I got him back.

Szarzewski 4 Mealamu of course you gain, but Szarzewski has more French caps at hooker than Servat does plus Szarz is younger.

Parrise 4 Lobbe I gain there, along with Read, Parisse is the best 8.

Great bit of dealing there Luke, don't see a loss for you in that!

Team looks much better for that and front row is well and truly sorted.

If it was me, I would want more quality at lock, not overly convinced the French have found a partner for nallet yet!

Get Franks or Woodcock at 1 and a better full-back then you have a quality side.

Yes suppose your right bathite he has hardly lost out, but I get a improvement at 8 and full-back so im happy.

Parisse is highly rated on here and better than Lobbe, even though Lobbe would be in the top five of everyone's best 8's.

Glad I got Poitrenaud back though needed a better full-back.
