Muh

anything for underhill or fraser?

Tough one as i think he sits somewhere between my top eq like lawes ewers harrison and my lesser ones like yeandle williams and woodburn

interested in parling, Haskell, underhill, hogg

now that is a tempting offer

its a fair offer mate, 1 gain each, just need to think if it strengthens me or not.

I'm going to pass on that mate, fair offer but not willing to lose Lawes for Parling.

Smith NFS

Cole, Hill, Whitlock, Tui, Slater, Ioane, Hughes, Lambie, Devoto, RJVR, Thomas and Hogg interest to varying degrees

I only see that as one gain for me mate.

Yeah I have a very strong trio but want to make sure that I get market value for them

Won't sell Genge ATM. Other two could go but EBA will take more

would have to get Underhill involved

not sure mate, struggling a bit.

not sure mate, struggling a bit.

I dunno if all 5 for him is enough mate

I'm not seeing a lot but any offer?

I don't know what eq I could include back

Well for the EQ in your list, I assume you want EQ back

Tuipultou, Parling, Haskell and Veainu, anything for those mate?

Well main interest would be Tui for now if that helps?

I don't feel any two of the guys available equal EBA

I'd have him top five and EBA top three. Also have EQ fullback and Liam Williams who is a very similar to Hogg at worst

Nothing between Hogg and Williams and not much between Lambie and Russell. Not losing EBA to improve back up 10

Could we start a deal around Tui for Manoa?

Hogg, Underhill and Whitelock interest me mate.

Where should i look to improve.

Max Malins?

==

Don't know enough about him mate but as you're interested he must have potential! What were you thinking? Cash? Loan?

Talk to me.

Poirot, Veainu and Ewers
for
Franks, ??? and Haskell

Interested in a good number of your guys. Are you looking for exact replacements?

What for Tui, Parling, Francis and North?

What would you need for Parling then mate? Would also be interested in Parra

-

I know you have replied, but any idea where to possibly start an offer?

Also interested in Devoto mate.

Poirot, Sinckler, Lawes, Ewers, Coetzee

Interested in Franks, Cole, Haskell, Parra

Think I am losing out 2-1 there with only Haskell as a gain (but one I lose to internationals)

I rate Parra and him and Lopez is a good combo but Laidlaw gets V good ratings.

What for Parra or Serin? As well Kramer?

make an offer mate

I'm not really after anyone from your academy

why would you want to let him go? He could be a star next season in the prem

with Laidlaw and Nic White (ratings should go up as at Exeter in real life next season) he would rarely play for me. has great potential though. Penaud gives me more depth at centre, especially 13.

Are you going to come back to me about Parra? 

What for Tui, Kramer, Haskell and Veainu?

Need a player top five in position or huge potential back

Guirado, Whitelock or Ioane really

Not really close. Ioane has the potential but only potential so needs to be accounted for. I'm either getting worse EQ and then EBA > Ioane or I'm losing in both positions

Hi Sgt. Would either Nathan Hughes or Ioane be available for something with Heaslip? Also any of your English players like Haskell or Cole? And Kremer. Quite a few of your players actually.

Thanks.

Evans, Moriarty, Robson, Pollard could all be available - would you swap Etzebeth for Whitelock? I've got to keep one top lock as Gray hasn't been that great this year. It seems like a lot of your English players are available?

I would need to get a player in the top 2/3 back for Etzbeth as found the last time I played that people give you higher ratings for big names and it is better to keep them.

What would you offer for Moriarty, Robson and Pollard?

If I lost Pollard I don't think I would want another no10 replacement. I'm not a big fan of Parra. What other English have you got available?

Let me get back to you tomorrow, have had quite a few offers on some of the players already. Just got to work out what I need and lose some no10s and backrowers.

What players do you have available? If you had a list that might make it easier.

Are there any others to these that you are interested in? Curry and Evans aren't requiring much, but the others probably need a bit more than what has been offered so far.

Beast, Evans, Etzebeth, Savea, Moriarty, TJ, Robson, Pollard, May, Curry.
