Fearns for Varndell?

Sorry mate not looking to lose Webber unless it's equal EQ.

Could not let JJ and George go for Mullen + ? Would not mind Mullan but for me George is starting to show his potential so not going anywhere.

Only reason I was prepared to deal on Mullan for JJ was I have too many world class Bracket TH's and will not be able to play them all.

Am interested in van der Merwe and de Villiers if you can see anything for them.

Can't lose Vermeulen right now mate. Players I can get involved are...

Ben Alexander
Sitaleki Timani
Rynhardt Elstadt
Foti Auelua
Nick Phipps
Elton Jantjies
Pat McCabe
Digby Ioane

Guess we're gonna struggle then.  No worries.

Mullan + ? for Rimmer/Benjamin + Slipper

Can't see much for Flood, or Afeaki unfortunately unless you could incorporate B Smith in somehow.

I don't have that many availible as i'm at 3s in every position so squads balanced as a whole.

I'v only really got Scott Williams going atm.

I'd be keen on Tomkins for him?

Hoping a Barritt and Tomkins

Ashton/Sharples NFS

I'v got no interest in McFadden though.

How about

Joel Tomkins and Ben Smith for Scott Williams + George Lowe along with James O'Connor on loan for the season?

I can't do that deal as i'm waiting for JOC to sort himself out.

That's the best deal i can offer.

Can't see anyone else of intrest really.

Hello mate you are over squad limits you have 41 in it.

When did you get ewers ? Good signing
Fancy selling him

Count your squad it has 41 it has 19
In the backs and not 18.

Would maybe consider JJ for ewers but a hooker as well is too much.
JJ is top bracket not sure ewers is eq yet is he ?

Ewers came across with me from Exeter and is very much EQ.

Is ewers in your squad driver ? Confused? Seen that he is from Zimbabwe and is 22
But can't see he is EQ anywhere

He came to sarries with me from Exeter. I had a break then took Newcastle.

I'm sure he's said he wants to play for England and has been here since he was 14.

Ewers can declare for England but has not
Yet so not EQ. Looks
A brute and kind of player England need

Ewers is EQ. You don't need to declare under the IRB rules to be eligible http://www.irb.com/mm/document/lawsregs/regulations/04/23/28/42328_pdf.pdf

Ewers meets the residency criteria

Cheers Johnny, can't wait to see him involved. He's like Billy V with a brain!

FairPlay looks a really useful player in 2 games I have seen.

Be interesting to see how he goes when teams know what to expect. Runs a bit upright but apart from that looks very good

Who cares how he runs, did you see him throw Twelvetrees and Kalamafoni around like they were school boys!

what would you want for him?

AWJ is potentially available but not in a deal involving lahiff and catt.

you not after a TH?

Deacon interests me and lahiff

Would you be interested in a deal for Afeaki, Cronin, Kellock and Barclay?

Barrow for ewers?

Dont think lahiff is any better than sturgess or catt really

Mate u should know anyone that leaves london irish immediately loses half there rating from me!

No thanks mate, will stick with Nowell.

Nowell is not for sale.

Could do Mealamu. Would need a gain back

You got some quality options at centre now.

Really want Mullan but realistically can't see that getting anywhere

What can you offer for joc?

I'm interested in Ewers

I see Bosch as possible one of the best 13's in the world, so I don't think your offer is off to a good start

Was thinking something like

Ewers + JD for Masoe and JOC

JDV?

Charteris and Creevey for Mealamu and Hoeata could get you Mealamu?

It actually worries me when you agree so quickly without negotiation

Not willing to let him go mate sorry

Michalak for Burrell?

Beast, AWJ, Rennie, Beattie, Denton

Beast not for sale.

Others I'd listen to offers on.

Interested in...

Deacon
Steyn
Burrell
Davies
Ewers

I'd do

Kruger + Waller + Pit

for

Ewers + Mullen + Davies

I'm not keen on losing Falatau at all , Probs best 8 in Europe.

I can loan you Pit at best.

Would need Davies involved.

Not overly keen on losing him as age is on his side unlike POC/Williams.

Sorry mate just getting back to my team page now. Not overly keen to make major changes may be willing to listen to offers if Davies can be brought into a deal

Of that list, the only one that I am really considering letting go would be Castro, so we can make him a focal point of a deal from my end.

From you I am keen on Morne Steyn and Jean de Villiers.
