Maybe, but only one is in the EPS right now! Wilson been in great nick for us since Christmas. Out of that lot, Bendy could leave I suppose, unless I can tempt you with Biggs or Woodburn, as Bendy is my only real FB.

ehh? It was PDJ i was after, now you're deals don't even include him! Strauss was a nice plus, but not the target

Not really mate, because I came to you for PDJ, not Strauss!

How about

Strauss + PDJ
4
Wilson + Bendy
?

Just a thought, might have something up my sleeve

If PDJ is available then I am interested.

Can't lose 2 EQ for none in return mate

Not really interested in Strauss fella, Tait is available but I require English in return

Thoughts? Is this a goer?

Want to do that deal mate? Get bendy into your starting team for today? Let me know, need to change my team a bit otherwise

ok, well i thought bendy was someone you wanted, especially in six nations. nothing i can do for PDJ, even leaving out Strauss?

PDJ
4
Bendy + ? maybe a top youngster coming through?

or I suppose it could be

PDJ + Cato
4
Bendy + Wilson
?

PDJ 4 Mullan

Anything for Day / Manoa?

Day + PDJ + Strauss
4
Shaw + Wilson + Bendy
?

Day + PDJ + Strauss
4
Hipkiss + Wilson + Bendy

----

Yeah I guess so, but still going to be a huge player for me for the rest of the season. How about Hipkiss instead? You could do with an extra centre

Well if you're keen on bendy and i'm keen on PDJ/Mujati what can we do?

Ok, well I gave it a bloody good go! Still keen on Strauss, Day, Clark

Anything for Martin Roberts mate?

How would you consider around Shingler's ability?

How about, something along these lines?

Shingler + Wilson + Casey + Vickers/Mayhew
=
Clarke + PDJ + Sorenson + Strauss

If your selling Strauss i'd be marginally interested mate

Where is that list you did on games that players have played mate? Can't find it anywhere

Thanks mate, very useful.

Hopper + Mullan 4 PDJ + ?

Would you consider a deal involving;

Kaino + ?
=
Read + ?

Think he would only get £1.5m on releases, so no point letting him go that cheaply, he's worth 8-12m

If I release, i'll let you know

Unfortunately can't do a deal in regards to Brock and George at the moment.

I don't need another SA hooker - already got two of the best!

Need more of a like for like replacement for Brock.

Would you be interested in any deal based on Wilson/PDJ?

What could I do for Hartley?

Return week:

Week 18 - James Downey
Week 19 - Alex Waller
Week 20 - Chris Ashton
Week 21 - Samu Manoa
Week 22 - Jamie Elliot

You fancy Nonu?

What kinda thing would you give for him then mate

If you're struggling for an IC, maybe I could offer you Barkley in return for Myler/Lamb either loan or permanent. Would help us both out.

Not sure it's worth it cash to be honest, just thought the swap made sense, no worries

Haywood interests me

Craig, Clark, Manoa, Pisi, Haywood interest me

Can't lose Delon for cash mate, I'm not sure Homer is rated highly enough to play every game. Anything for Pisi?

Sorry bud, wrong page.

Anything for; Craig, Nutley, Wood, Myler, Downey and Armstrong mate?

Etzebeth would need some gains my way. What would you be looking at for the others though?

Swinson + M Wilson + Stegmann
=
Craig + Nutley + Armtstrong

?

Neither of them really. Bendy is decent and available all year. Whereas Armstrong is more of a winger and leaves me short

Craig, C Clark, Waller (both)??

Pooly b*gger off, I was here first!

Yea I can see from the above offer lol

Don't really want to lose Ford mate

Could get 36 involved

Clark + Waller for 36 + ?

How about;

Swinson + M Wilson + Bendy + £1.5m
=
Craig + Nutley + Armstrong + Elliot

Swinson + M Wilson + Bendy + Stegmann
=
Craig + Nutley + Armstrong + Elliot

That improve it?
