Once we get going, I'm interested in Sexton mate.

I'd be in for Sexton, Mach, Roberts

I can get JP Pietersen into some sort of deal for Sexton mate.

Interested in Kruger

Could base something around Bast/Roberts

Will probably hold fire till after first round of foreigns, but all other than Franks are tradeable

Parling is avaliable, make me an offer

I'm not seeing anything with Alberts to be honest mte, but could do something maybe around Pietersen for Roberts.

Franks probably one of the only 2 players I wouldn't trade, Taylor/Crotty possible after the draft/foreigns

Interested in Carter?

Carter + Ellis for Sexton + Machenaud

Sexton, Mach, Roberts for Carter, Ellis and Taylor?

Really? I've never rated him that highly, must be my anti Welsh bias..

Not sure then, from your team in terms of NH players, I see Sexton, Mach and the 2 Welshies that as the NH players I would be looking at

Read and Franks are the ones I'm definitely keeping, don't think there's enough on offer for me to trade away McCaw/Dagg on top of Carter

Might have to revisit this after the draft

I can get Frans Steyn involved if you need a replacement 12.

JP Pietersen and Frans Steyn for Jamie Roberts and Benjamin Fall?

Sorry mate, not selling any first choice forwards.

Precisely, which is why i said we should just get on with the foreigns, as nobody is going to deal big domestically until they know who they can get from outside.

What for Lauret mate?

Carter, Ellis, Crotty for Sexton, Mach, Andreu?

Give me some credit, did you really think I was going to accept that!

Yes but I wasn't expected to be robbed blind!

what for Swarzeski?

na not really a fan of Duclaon

Hello mate, any chance you'd do Virgil Lacombe for Craig Burden. Looking at addressing my back NH/SH split issue with back ups and figured these two guys are about the same level.

na its ok il pass mate

Burden was the Sharks starting hooker when Bismarck was out injured and was pretty decent. Good ball carrier, decent basics, never going to set the world alight. Currently appearing as a medical joker at Toulon during the SH off season.

na not right now, i'd keep cole.

What are you offering for Buttin?

no deal mate, il keep Cole thanks.

JMH for Butin?

Carter, Ellis, Crotty for Sexton, Mach and Andreu?

Sexton is the main one I'm after, could include one of those 3 if he is on the table

How much would it take for them?

What for ducalon, Swarz, Andreu and Fall

Am interested in Benjamin fall mate.

How much would you be looking at?

I like Taute and he covers a couple of positions for me. Would you be tempted by Pietersen?

I rate both of my guys higher than Fall, so would need someone else or some cash involved as well.

I could do something with Taute/JDV/Aplon. Would you consider something with Smith included.

Something like;

B Smith + Fall + Andreu 
=
Aplon + JDV + £10m

Also interested in Lauret!

I was suggesting the above so that you could perhaps go buy another back three from the same national team...

What about;

Taute + £7.5
=
Fall + Andreu

Thats pounds by the way

cooling my intrest in Swarz as i now have Ghraldini mate

Was looking at starting Crotty outside JD2, but can trade him if you can include Machenaud, Ellis can come back the other way?

Or happy to do Todd for Andreu as a single deal

Not willing to give back Mach? that would be my preference, starter each way

Would do Mach for Crotty and Ellis .. gain at centre worth the drop at SH..

If Mach not on table, then how about

Crotty for Andreu and Chavancy

Need the cash to get some starting NH talent

Crotty would start for you with Ben Smith going to the wing, not a bad replacement!!!

Not much value there for me, 2 guys on the verge of the NZ team/squad for a backup centre and a non international wing

Lauret + Fall + Andreu
=
Chouly + Taute + Aplon

?

Fluxy wrote:Lauret + Fall + Andreu

Any thoughts mate?

Don't see what I;d gain out of that one?

Whats wrong with the above?
