Cueto, Wilko, H.Fourie and Buckley
for
Losi, Bowden, Gray, Watson and Sisi

===

I know it's a risk. I haven't been to enough LI games this season to know about the quality of Watson, Sisi. I'll have a think and get back to you mate.

Where are we with Fourie/Farrell?

Anything for Gaskell and Kub mate?

Murray + Hudson + Fitzpatrick
=
Kub + Gaskell + Tuitipou

Enq?

Wilko
=
Bowden?

.

Anything for Sheridan or Dickinson fella?

What for Onosa'i Auva'a, Sam Tuitipou and Luther Burrell?

Paice + Murray + Ansbro + Stegmann/Cuthbert
=
Botha + Kubs + Fourie + Amesbury

Enq

Gives you some top English players and a improvement on Kubs.

Sheridan is a finished international by rated by many on here and Dickinson hasn't played international for a while. I would have them both at the same level of barkley.

Any chance of Seymour or Gaskell for Barkley?

If its Barkley I'm losing, it would need to be Seymour or Gaskell mate. Barkley a big loss to me.

Barkley + mercer
4
Seymour and Gaskell?

Mercer only isn't first team because of Moody and louw and he still starts loads of games mate, more exp then Seymour I would guess. Your deal is way off but think we can meet somewhere in the middle. Seymour being my main Target

Barkley ad mercer
4
Seymour and ?

Change amesbury to miller and you have a deal

Well I just need fb cover that's all. How about Cueto then?

Form isn't everything mate, bendy been consistently one of the top line breakers defenders beaten and overall yards stats leader for last 3 years, miller and Seymour in breakthrough season, so it's a risk

Well that's another loss for me now, banahan is a much better player, younger and versatile

Ok mate, let me know, think we can sort something out, I see it as. Got a few possibilities, but Seymour remains target 1, then Gaskell

Bendy >> Amesbury
Bendy > Miller (Saxons, consistency vs. 1 year of form)
Bendy >= Cueto (Based on age and attacking threat, Cuets might retire soon?)
Flatman = Dickinson (Not sure on Dickinson's scrummaging and he is not EQ)
Seymour >= Mercer (Seymour the form man, but Mercer more experienced)

So its something from

Hipkiss, Barkley, Flatman, Mercer, Abendanon

Seymour, Miller, Dickinson/Sheridan, Seymour, Gaskell, Miller/Cueto

I'll pass mate, Freshwater is a key man for me, and highly rated on here judging by the number of managers who have tried to get him from me, and Mieres is in really good form at present.

Alright mate, I think we could find something here. The only thing is I'm not exactly short at 10, as Heathcote has been playing quite well recently for Bath.

I'm interested, maybe try something else

Buckley, M.Jones and Amesbury
for
Buckland and Thompstone

==

No thanks mate. I don't really see Buckley as an improvement on Ion, he's cack at scrum time isn't he?

Mercey + Casey + Shingler + Ansbro
=
Dickinson + Schofield + MaCleod + Fourie

Enq

I'd agree with Dickinson/Mercey, I'd rate Casey over Schofield, offers more at the lineout IMO.

Shingler, would pip MaCleod. And Fourie would be above Ansbro, but Ansbro isn't shabby. One of the better OC's out there.

No thanks...all old players

Any scope for a deal mate?

Couldn't lose Murray without Fourie, because Sheridan isn't the force he once was, and I don't really need a third openside in Hendre.

Hows about;

Murray + Mercey + Casey + Hodgson + Shingler
=
Kubs + Dickinson + Schofield + Peel + MaCleod

?

I'm not really interested in taking on more centres, I have depth there. Just looking to upgrade. I thought you were interested in Wilson or Mercey too?

I really can't lose both my EQ props, for just one gain. I don't rate Buckley at all.

I think I lose out there mate.

Wilko, Cueto and Amesbury
for
Bowden, Losi and Thompstone

==

No thanks mate. I am looking for a 10, but I want to keep Bowden and move him to 12.

Cueto and Marc Jones and Amesbury
for
Losi and Thompstone

==

No thanks mate.

I've no real interest in Cueto mate.. my back three are strong. I'd need Wilko in a deal (without losing Bowden) to inventivise it.

I agree with what you're saying.. but that's a whole lot of risk. I'd rather try and construct something at the end of the season

Be more interested with Miller instead of Cueto.

What for Fourie?

Not worth the hassle to lose probably my two most important players.

I probably wouldn't consider losing Brussow, he's a big vocal point in my team. I couldn't really replace him with anyone from the foreigns bar McCaw

What for Peel?

Not so sure that takes a lot from me, how about;

Hodgson + Shingler + Paice
=
Peel + MaCleod + Botha

What for Gaskell and Cueto mate?

Miller def NFS?

MacLeod is a good FB mate, come back if you change your mind.

Budget is looking tasty

8m?

Or Crane, Imiloek, Gaskell, Seymour in a deal

Return week:

Week 18 - Andy Powell
Week 19 - Sam Tuitupou
Week 20 - Dwayne Peel
Week 21 - Mark Cueto
Week 22 - Henry Thomas

Really want the Stormers pair of flankers Louw/Burger. Anything I can do to persuade you to go for Sean O'Brien? Plays 6,7 and 8. Just don't see the point in both of us over paying for Schalk

Let me know your thoughts on above? I'm going to bid for O'Brien anyway, as i'm going away for a few days and need him for my teamsheet. Would be good to deal a SOB/Burger deal at some point

What for Schofield and Kubs mate?

Could lose Kaino for Burger to get a deal

Well sounds interesting mate.

I was looking at losing Kaino for Burger to gain with Kubs. Seeing as Kaino is one of the best 6's available, with Schalk just being a little below him. It would probably be Wilson for Kubs, you gain a versatile EQ but I'm under no illusion if you'd rate Kubs above him.

Maybe squeeze, Schofield for Swinson in on the end?
