I'm very on a deal for Morne Steyn.

Doing a deal for him with English guys in could be a problem. I would be interested in Paul James as well. I'm sure we can get a deal done somehow. What areas are you trying to strengthen?

Lloyd Williams and Francois Trinh-Duc for Paul James and Morne Steyn?

I prefer the English guys that I have. The only one of yours that I would really want in a deal would be Delon Armitage, and I'll be surprised if you were to say yes to selling him. I can't really do anything for inside centre as I only have 3 centres in my squad as it is. What do you reckon to the deal I proposed?

I can do any of these players in a deal for James and Steyn.

Max Lahiff, Hoani Tui, Werner Kruger, Lionel Nallet, Rob Simmons, Ali Williams, Beau Robinson, Raphael Lakafia, Will Chudley, Francois Trinh-Duc, Ian Humphreys, Lachie Turner, Rory Lamont, Tom Catterick, Paddy Jackson, Sep Visser.

Raphael Lakafia and Francois Trinh-Duc for Paul James and Morne Steyn?

Can't do that deal but am happy to negotiate. Take Lahiff and Charteris out of that deal and I'll do it.

As I said, the only Englishman I would want from you is Delon Armitage and I'd need English to let Lahiff or Mullan. If losing a prop is an issue for you I can include Tui or Kruger in the deal.

If it's a case of you wanting to offload Charteris, I would take him in the deal instead of McFadden.

I'm confusing myself with where we are with this deal now, but I think it's some combination of James, Steyn and either McFadden or Charteris for Lakafia, Trinh-Duc, Williams and either Tui or Kruger. Any deal involving those guys suit you, or alternatively someone else off the available list I posted.

I'll deal on that.

Pleasure doing business with you. I was after Morne for a while as he really suits the way my team is set up to play. Trinh-Duc gives you a reall option with contrasting 10's with him and Lambie.

I like Kerr-Barlow, but couldn't do Parra for him mate.

Sorry mate, I can only see it weakening my best XV to do a deal that involves Parra.

Not at the moment mate no sorry

Chuck in R Jones instead of charteris and you have a deal

Delon?

Hi prop I will be reviewing most if my squad at end of year. Have sold Sharples so hanging fire on the rest of my English to see what the rules are for next year

Wrong page fella. I've moved to london on here now

Anything for Spies mate? Now or end of season?

Gaskell?

Hi nick

Feedback for your team on this weeks game.

Good front row mobile scrummages well and carries
Lack of jumpers after Williams and Strauss has up and down darts .

Savage for me over dowson. Much more physical and a great carrier. Good Backrow balance. Decent halfbacks although prefer Kerr Barlow.

Barkley and Lambie as a defensive channel may struggle and malzieu needs a bit form.

Decent side and you with a few signings will be right up there. Decent academy at Worcester also

Thanks mate, having delon back in over cook will help. Blindside I would like to play Ryan jones but EQ rule is an issue.

Can't emphasis enough how dross cook is for glos. he is so
Bad under the high ball it's untrue.

Maybe better after the 1st season

Savage is very underrated nick. I prefer him to Garvey personally. He is young and improves week on week

Anything doing for one of your scrummies?

What would you want?

Could do something with Mujati (injured, but only for 1 week)?

Still sniffing round Lambie too

Would have be Claasens as can't lose more EQ after injuries, but Claasens is basically injured for the season?

Anything for Kerr-Barlow mate?

With Yach's impending ban, i'm a bit desperate, so go on then, deal.

Ok, lets have a stab at this then...

Parra and Dave Wilson

for

Kerr-Barlow and Delon

I could chuck in any one of my full backs on loan for the season if it would assist in getting the deal done.

Not a bad start so! Must have a gander at the Prem site and see how he got on

Ojo + Botha
=
Savage + Bosch

Sorry mate, not looking to lose Hamilton or Parra.

Am struggling to see much there mate, perhaps something for Skivington.

I could have Andrew Trimble available if you are after a winger mate.

Could do maybe something like Trimble and Kalamafoni for Beattie and Casson (end of season)?

Sorry Nick mate not keen to sell his versatility is handy and with the Lions/ 6 Nations talk going on he could be really important to my squad next year

Millo Chluski & ?? for Bosch?
Sure Matt might want a chance to bid as well!!

Struggle without a top 12 in return mate.

Sorry mate got a bit lost there. Cheers.

Matthew Rees + Matt Smith

for

Gary Botha + Julien Malzieu?

Now or end of season

What would it take to get Gary Botha mate?

I'd do a straight swap for Rees?

As you say Rees is the probably the better player so I am not willing to add much.

I would add Eli Walker for Matt Smith and Will Collier but I can't see much more than that.

Not selling Zanni, sorry.

I could be interested in Williams mate, what do you want for him?

Actually, scrap that, just seen he is injured for most of the season.

Sione Kalamafoni for Chris Walker?

Kelly Brown is going no where after that 6Ns fella ,

Slater would need a EQ lock coming back and neither Scofs or Myall are better.
